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 $174,938 for the Ministers Against Crime Values-Based
Center for the period of February 1, 2002 through January 31, 2003, and
2 Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Grants Fund by $174,938, and
3 Authorize the City Manager to waive indirect costs in the amount of $9,772
DISCUSSION
The City of Fort Worth was one of six sites that were invited to apply for a new grant program from the
Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) The title of the program was Values-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 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 The program is
also expanding to 12 additional cities based upon the models established by the initial sites
The continuation grant will continue the operation of the principal and satellite Ministers Against Crime
Values-Based Centers at 4800 South Riverside Drive and 4216 Avenue G During this grant, the Police
Department will be training new members and establishing the program based on Field Operations
Division boundaries, attempting to expand to the south and west. Funds are included for new uniforms
and supplies, as well as personnel costs
The grant period is February 1, 2002, through January 31, 2003, and the grant amount is $174,938,
with no cash match required
The Office of COPS does not provide for any form of indirect costs, therefore, it will be necessary to
waive these charges in the amount of $9,772
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval and execution of the above recommendations, funds
will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Fund
