DISCUSSION: The original Safe Haven Program was first operated in the near southeast part of Fort Worth and was later expanded to other designated sites in Fort Worth. Youth Safe Havens are places where children in targeted neighborhoods play and learn with other children without the fear of being a victim of crime. The United Community Center (UCC) provides a Youth Safe Haven Program for youth living within a five -mile radius of the Bethlehem Community Center located at 970 East Humbolt Street. On October 9, 2001, the City Council authorized execution of a contract for the continued operation of the Youth Safe Haven Program to be operated by the UCC and the program has continued through Fiscal Year 2012. This Mayor and Council Communication will authorize the program to continue through Fiscal Year 2013. Funding in the amount of $132,990.00 will be appropriated in the Fiscal Year 2013 Grime Control and Prevention District (CCPD) budget, as adopted. The program provides youth with quality programs in character/leadership, educational activities, cultural arts, health/life skills and recreation. Program staff address additional educational, social, psychological and physical needs youth may experience. The program's focus and goal is to change lives by caring for the "whole child." This approach provides youth the tools they need to become responsible adults. This Agreement shall not be effective until October 1, 2012 and the City shall not be obligated to make any payments under this Agreement or be otherwise liable for any other obligations unless and until the budget becomes effective. The Bethlehem Community Center is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation, and upon adoption of the Fiscal Year 2012-2013 budget by the City Council to include the above recommended item(s), funds will be available in the Fiscal Year 2013 operating budget, as appropriated, of the Crime Control and Prevention District Fund. 1 of 2 9/ 18/2012 3 :12 PM M&C Review http:l/apps.cfwnet.org/council_packet/mc review.asp?ILA=1?252&council...
