M&C 22-0793 LOG NAME: 35ARPA ONE SECOND COLLABORATIVE CODE: G TYPE: NON- PUBLIC CONSENT HEARING: NO SUBJECT: (ALL) Authorize Execution of a Contract with the United Way of Tarrant County to Implement the One Second Collaborative to Address Youth Gun Violence RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with United Way of Tarrant County to implement the One Second Collaborative to address youth gun violence. DISCUSSION: This Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize a contract with United Way of Tarrant County to use of up to $4,411,0800.00 of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Subtitle M(Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF)) funding to reduce gun violence in the City of Fort Worth (City). ARPA Section 9901, Subsection 603(c)(1)(A) provides funding to improve the public health of the City through gun violence intervention programs. Providing matching funds for eligible joint projects with other agencies was also determined to be a qualified priority by City Management for ARPA funding as approved by the City Council in Mayor & Council Communication (M&C) 21-0445 on June 22, 2021. ARPA funds must be committed by December 31, 2024 and spent by December 31, 2026. In coordination with United Way of Tarrant County and Tarrant County, Fort Worth Police Department (FWPD) proposes to establish the One Second Collaborative. The One Second Collaborative is a joint effort to strategically and comprehensively disrupt gun violence among young adults and teenagers in targeted zones across our community. The collective mental health of the community has been significantly strained due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Shootings involving children and teenagers have been on the rise in recent years. Experts say idleness caused by the COVID-19 pandemic shares the blame with easy access to guns and disputes that too often end with gunfire. Our community has lost more than 100 young people of middle or high school age over the past six years. Just last year, 29 young people ages 12 to 18 were shot and killed in Tarrant County, the most in at least the last 10 years (Source: Star Telegram). Black teenagers are disproportionately shot and killed in Tarrant County. Despite being only 18\% of the total county population, black teenagers make up more than half of the shooting victims and deaths. Together, FWPD, United Way of Tarrant County, the City of Fort Worth, Tarrant County and countless additional stakeholders are coming together to address the escalating issue of youth gun violence. The goal is to reduce youth gun violence based upon assessment data from TCU/Rutgers and input from community. Community leaders unite, acknowledge problem of gun violence and need to support FWPD in efforts to address issues, launch One Second Collaborative, announce Steering Committee 1. Steering Committee forms, establishes agreed upon formal structure (law enforcement, criminal justice, schools, social services, community-based groups, faith-based organizations, affected members of community, local government all represented) http://apps.cfwnet.org/council�acket/mc review.asp?ID=30346&councildate=9/27/2022 2/13/2025 M&C Review Page 2 of 4 a.
