Authorize the City Manager to submit to the Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD) Board of Directors an amendment of the FY2005 CCPD budget for $120,000 to reimburse the City of Fort Worth for summer youth programs targeting youth at-risk; 2. Adopt the supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations in the General Fund by $120,000 and decreasing the unreserved, undesignated General Fund balance by the same amount; 3. Authorize the City Manager to contract with UMOJA for the C.H.I.L.L. program, as the fiscal agent representing a collaboration of entities composed of UMOJA, the Men and Women of POWER, Soldiers for Peace, the Nile Group, and the Near Northside Partnership Council programs that target youth at-risk for a contract period of June 15, 2005 through December 31, 2005, for an amount not to exceed $100,000; and 4. Authorize the City Manager to contract with Harvest Assembly of God for the HIKIDS (Helping Inner- City Kids in Danger) program that targets youth at-risk for for a contract period of June 15, 2005 through December 31, 2005, for an amount not to exceed $20,000. DISCUSSION: The City funds several programs that focus attention on youth. A review of these programs has been requested to determine the amount of funds expended and the effectiveness of the programs funded. However, because of the continuing gang problem that this city is facing, it is imperative that more funding is directed at youth especially during the summer months and as the new school year begins. On June 21, 2005, the City Council considered Council Proposal No. 254 relating to "Emergency Crime District Funding of Summer Programs Targeting Youth At-Risk" that included a program called C.H.I.L.L. to be supported by a collaboration of agencies. The City Council approved the Council Proposal directing the City Manager to evaluate the proposed programs as well as others in areas of the City needing funding for at-risk youth programs. In addition, staff was directed to return with a Mayor and Council Communication authorizing the use of General Fund dollars to support the programs immediately, awarding contracts to summer programs for at-risk youth, and authorizing the City Manager to submit a request to the CCPD board to reimburse the City of Fort Worth for these program expenses. Staff reviewed the C.H.I.L.L. (Children Helping Instill Love and Leadership) proposal as well as needs identified by the Parks and Community Services Department, a proposal submitted by the Boys and Girls Club, and the Helping Inner-City Kids in Danger (HIKIDS) program. City staff supports the funding of Lognarne: 35AT RISK YOUTH Page 1 of 2 C.H.I.L.L. and the HIKIDS program as outlined in the recommendation. For the C.H.I.L.L. program, the proposed contract is with a collaboration of organizations including UMOJA, the Men and Women of POWER, Soldier for Peace, the Nile Group, and the Near Northside Partnership Council which propose programming that is targeted to identify children in danger of being recruited into gang activity by older children and or/young adults. The organizations currently operate programs in the Polytechnic, Stop Six, Southside, Woodhaven, and Near Northside areas, all areas with known gangs operating. The proposed program, C.H.I.L.L. , focuses attention on enhancement of summer day camp programs that teach alternatives to destructive behavior. The HIKIDS program is an inner city program designed to help kids ages 10-17 to avoid gang activities and to excel in life by mentoring and teaching. It is an incentive-based program to encourage kids to be involved in their communities and to stay in school. It has been in existence since 1995. Additional funding will allow the program to expand to additional children and services. The partner agencies will conduct programming through the first quarter of school to help facilitate a smooth transition as the new school year begins. City staff has scheduled a public hearing for the CCPD'Board to consider reimbursing the City for these programs on July 5, 2005. If approved, an M&C will be presented to the City Council consideration and public hearing on July 19, 2005, to appropriate CCPD funds to be transferred to the General Fund as reimbursement. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and the adoption of the supplemental appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the General Fund. The unaudited, unreserved, undesignated General Fund balance after this appropriation will be $37,695,565.
