Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 7/26/2011
DATE: Tuesday, July 26, 2011 REFERENCE NO.: **C-25062
LOG NAME: 35FY12UCCYOUTHSAFEHAVEN
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of a Contract with the United Community Center in the Amount of$132,986.00 to
Continue Operation of a Youth Safe Haven Program at the Bethlehem Community Center in Fort Worth
(COUNCIL DISTRICT 8)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract not to exceed $132,986.00 with the United
Community Center, a non-profit organization, to continue operation of a Youth Safe Haven Program at the
Bethlehem Community Center; and
2. Authorize the contract to be extended for up to four one-year periods without further action from City
Council.
DISCUSSION:
The Youth Safe Haven Program began in 1991 as part of a Weed and Seed Grant, which expired
September 30, 2000. 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 the City Manager to execute 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 2011. This Mayor and Council Communication will authorize the program to continue
through Fiscal Year 2012 and for four additional years through Fiscal Year 2016 without further action by
City Council. Funding in the amount of$132,986.00 will be appropriated in the Fiscal Year 2012 Crime
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, 2011 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
City Council approves the above recommended item(s) as a part of the Fiscal Year 2012 adopted budget,
and the budget becomes effective.
