Re: P. IR. No. 13570
Attached is P.R. 13570 approving the training grant agreement between the
City of Port Arthur Section 4A Economic Development Corporation and City of Port
Arthur. At its May 17, 2006 Meeting, the PAEDC Board approved a total
expenditure of $115,000 for job training to prepare Port Arthur residents for jobs in
new or expanding local industries. However, this Resolution is only authorizing
$11,250 for training at this time, which is sufficient for the training of seventy-five (75)
trainees at $150 per trainee. Doris Gill is the liaison for the City of Port Arthur. The
final agreement will reflect such.
