DISCUSSION
In response to the recent increase in crime activity City staff met with the Boys and Girls Club including
Comin Up staff and the Safe City Commission to develop strategies to provide gang intervention measures
to offer alternatives to this negative and destructive behavior From this meeting it was identified that gang
activity in the South Central and Woodhaven areas of Fort Worth was increasing at an alarming rate On
Tuesday May 30 2006 Deputy Chief Patricia Kneblick informed the City Council that Comin Up staff had
been instructed to determine suitable locations in each of these areas.
This proposal authorizes the funding of two sites up to a cost of $77 434 per site for the period of June
through September 30 2006 The annual operating cost for these sites next year will be $378 300 which
the City will seek reimbursement from the Crime Control and Prevention District. Site 9 adds $178 150 and
site 10 adds $200 150 This will increase the total Comin Up budget for 10 sites to $2,011 669
The Comin Up sites will have a Program Coordinator two Outreach Specialists and contracted services
and training when they open
The Police Department, Comin' Up staff and Parks and Community Services Department believe that
opening these sites during the beginning summer months will help to minimize any potential violent crime
between the rival gangs in these communities.
These Comin Up sites are located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 4 and 9
