RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to accept a renewal grant award from the Office of Community Oriented
Policing Services (COPS) in the amount of $157,500 for the Value-Based. Initiative for the period of
October 1, 2003, through March 31, 2005; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Grants Fund by $157,500; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to waive indirect costs in the amount of $14,075.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth .was one of six sites invited to apply for.. a new grant program from the COPS.
The title of the program was Value-Based Initiatives and the program was built around the Ministers
,Against Crime project at the request of federal officials. The original grant was for one year beginning
..October 1, 2000, and expiring October 31, 2001: Due to budget regulations, the issuance date of the
' I grant was July 1, 2000, and the COPS office extended the program to January 31, 2002..
It was originally anticipated there would be no renewal funds, but the COPS office contacted the.Police
Department in late October 2001 and invited the_City to apply for continuation funding, which the Police
Department received. In .January 2003, the City was invited to apply for a third and final grant..
This final grant will continue the operation of the Ministers Against Crime Value-Based Center at 4800
South Riverside Drive, and will provide funds to establish a satellite Value-Based Center on the west
side of Fort Worth. During the project .period, the Police Department will be training new members in
each of the four Field Operations Divisions. .Funds are included for new uniforms and supplies, as well
as personnel costs. '
The grant period is October 1, 2003, through March 31, 2005, and the grant amount is $157,500, with
no cash match required. The COPS does not provide for any form of indirect costs; therefore, it will be
necessary to waive these charges in the amount of $14,075.
