The Commission's purpose is to recommend to the City Council a set of policy initiatives designed to reduce drug use and gang involvement. These policy initiatives should include strategies designed to address the identified needs of Fort Worth youths. The Commission's activity will be focused on maximizing youth input, thereby viewing the drug and gang problem from the youth perspective. The Commission will meet with youth groups to identify what they perceive as the factors which drive youths toward drug use and gang involvement. The Commission should also attempt to determine the deficiencies in established anti-drug and anti -gang programs. These meetings should include formal groups such as student councils, school clubs, recreational clubs, and other organized groups. However, the Commission shall also strive to meet with at -risk youths not included in the formal groups. To the extent possible, this effort should include discussions with current and former gang members and drug users. The Commission will formulate policy/program recommendations based upon the critical issues identified during the meetings and discussions. The recommendations may include entirely new programs, or modifications and/or improvements to existing programs. The Commission's recommendations should be directed not only at city programs under the authority of the City Council, but other efforts sponsored by other local entities and community organizations.

Execute a contract with the firm of Landes and Associates, Inc., in the amount of $75,036.00 to provide design survey requirements for E. 1st/Randol Mill Road from Beach Street to Woodhaven Boulevard.. BACKGROUND: On April 11, 1989 (M&C C-11583), the City Council awarded a design services contract to Rady & Associates, Inc., to provide the design for the improvement of E. 1st/Randol Mill Road from Beach Street to the Trinity River Bridge and from the Trinity River Bridge to Woodhaven Boulevard. Included in this contract was a provision for the consultant to only perform sufficient preliminary design work to determine the location and elevation of the new bridge across the Trinity River. Proposition No. 2 of the Bond Program approved by the voters on July 10, 1990, provided for the improvement of E. 1st/Randol Mill Road from the Trinity River to Woodhaven Boulevard including a new bridge over the Trinity Minutes of City Council P-3 Page 561 r. f—" TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1990 M&C No. C-12498I� River. Also a previous Capital Improvement Program had provided partial (Cont.) funding in the amount of $1,200,000 for a bridge over the Trinity River. nrscusSTON! Soon after the completion of the necessary hydrology and hydraulic studies,the Consultant established a proposed alignment. City survey forces then started the preliminary design survey of the project and had performed a substantial amount of survey work. Flooding in March, 1990, destroyed a great amount of the survey controls, thus requiring reestablishment of these control points. In light of the passage of the recent bond program and the work load of City survey forces, staff recommends that this survey work be awarded to a private survey firm to expedite the completion of the design and construction of this project. Landes and Associates, Inc., has agreed to do the necessary design survey work on an hourly rate basis with a maximum total fee not to exceed $75,036.00. The scope of the work would include all required design survey and controls as needed for completion of the design project. The staff has reviewed the proposal and determined that the fee is reasonable for•the scope of work defined in this proposal. PROJECT COST AND FINANCING: Sale of the bonds approved for this project is scheduled for Fall, 1990. Sufficient funds are available for temporary transfer from Fund No. GS67, Center No. 020670231390, City's Share of SDHPT Projects. Upon approval and completion of Recommendation No. 1, sufficient funds will be available in Street Improvements Fund GS67, Center No. 020670231110, E. 1st/Randol Mill Road. Expenditures will be made from Account No. 531200. When the 1990 bonds have been sold and are available, these expenditures will be transferred to the new account.
