Amendment Proposed for New Sardis Youth Workforce Development Agreement
Cleveland City Council is considering an emergency ordinance to modify a previous agreement regarding local youth employment efforts. Introduced on September 25, 2026, File No. 1180-2026 seeks to amend Section 2 of Ordinance 778-2026, which established a partnership with The New Sardis Primitive Baptist Church for the Youth Workforce Development Program.
What's in the file
The proposed emergency ordinance is an amendment intended to correct specific details within Section 2 of the previously passed Ordinance 778-2026. The legislation concerns the city's agreement with The New Sardis Primitive Baptist Church to facilitate the Youth Workforce Development Program.
While the specific corrections are contained within the attached 1180-2026-FOR PASSAGE document, youth workforce development programs generally aim to provide participants with the tools necessary for career success. Research into such programs suggests they can lead to increased educational attainment, employment, and earnings for participants in the years following enrollment, according to Youth workforce development programs.
Who may be affected
The record specifically names The New Sardis Primitive Baptist Church and identifies the matter as relating to the Youth Workforce Development Program.
Status and timeline
The ordinance is currently "Agenda Ready" and was introduced to the City Council on September 25, 2026. It serves as an amendment to Ordinance 778-2026, which was passed earlier this summer on July 15, 2026. This filing follows a recent increase in labor-related legislative activity within the city.
