BUCKLER <br /> GLORIA N. RUDMAN <br /> JOHN C. KLIMM <br /> December 31, 1981 <br /> Chairperson, Board of Selectmen <br /> Enclosed please find a copy of a letter sent by the Barnstable Board of <br /> Selectmen to Mr. Ralph Schmarsow, Director of New Bedford CETA on December 4, <br /> 1981. The purpose of our letter was to request necessary information so that <br /> we can continually monitor and evaluate the delivery of CETA services to Cape <br /> and Islands' residents. <br /> There has been no information received to date and thus we obviously can- <br /> not assess the performance of the New Bedford Consortium sponsor for the first <br /> quarter of this fiscal year. We are in receipt of a copy of a letter from <br /> Mr.. Schmarsow dated 'December 16th (enclosed) which requests that all Cape and <br /> Islands' Towns support the efforts of New Bedford in a formal merger with the <br /> Cape and Islands for Fiscal Year 1983 which would have to be granted by the <br /> J.S. Department of Labor. <br /> Due to the fact that we, as a town, are still enthusiastically pursuing <br /> the sponsorship for FY '83 and also that no information has been received to <br /> intelligently evaluate New Bedford's performance, we respectfully request that <br /> you not sign any agreement with New Bedford at this time. <br /> We also request, at your earliest convenience, that you notify Mr. Wayne <br /> Smith, Federal Representative, U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Train- <br /> ing Administration, Room 1800, John F. Kennedy Federal Building, Boston 02203 <br /> with your decision. In addition, we request that you relay to us any exper- <br /> iences with the CETA program that you or your residents have had since October <br /> that would assist the entire Cape and Islands' Community in evaluating New <br /> Bedford's performance. We will begin negotiations with the State at the end <br /> of January to pursue Barnstable sponsorship. <br /> We believe that CETA can and should be a program to effectively meet the <br /> needs of our economically disadvantaged, unemployed population and hope that <br /> we can work together towards that goal. <br /> If we can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact us. <br /> . - Very truly yours, & <br /> Ix- <br /> /Board of_Selectmen <br />
