Administrative Code Section 14:6(b) states that applications for grants may be submitted without prior Council approval where the Notice of Available Funding or Request for Proposal (RFP) was published less than 61 days in advance of the date of the application deadline. On February 20, 2008 the U.S. DOJ, OJJDP invited the City of Los Angeles to submit an application for the FY 2008 Congressional Earmarks Program. Such notice was provided thirty (30) days in advance of the application deadline of March 21, 2008. On September 18, 2008, the DOJ notified the Mayor's Office of an award of $339,852 to be used for the Pacoima/Foothill Gang Reduction and Youth Development (GRYD) Zone for the period · of May 1, 2008 to December 31, 2009.

Transmitted herewith for consideration by the City Council is a request to accept grant funds for the Pacoima/Foothill FY 08 Congressional Earmarks Program Award in the amount of $339,852. 200 NOF.Tif SFEINC: STREET "' LOS ANCELE'>, CAJ.JFOF.N!A 90012 l'HONF: (213) 9/B-0600" Fi\X: (213) 978-07.50 f:M/111,: [email protected] Honorable Members of the City Council April 6, 2009 Page 2 Background The City of Los Angeles is home to numerous gangs and gang members. In July 2007, the Mayor launched the Office of Gang Reduction and Youth Development (GRYD) with the primary purpose of consolidating and overseeing the prevention and intervention components of the City's anti-gang and youth development programs. In April 2008, the Mayor unveiled his Gang Reduction Strategy (GRS), which focuses on the twelve (12) highest needs areas in the City of Los Angeles in terms of gang violence, as identified by Part 1 crime statistics and other demographic indicators. These 12 areas are termed Gang Reduction and Youth Development (GRYD) Zones. The primary goal of the Mayor's strategy for each GRYD Zone is to reduce gang crime and violence through an integrated application of proven practices in prevention, intervention, re-entry services, and suppression through intelligence-led enforcement and information sharing. The Mayor's GRYD and HSPS Offices conducted needs assessments and resource mapping in the 12 GRYD Zones, including Pacoima/Foothill, to identify specific components of the gang problem, analyze their causes, and identify resources currently available as well as those needed. The GRYD Office called on youth, parents, community leaders, and school officials to share their views on what resources or programs were necessary to impact the gang problem in their respective communities. To address the components of the gang problem in each GRYD zone, as identified by the needs assessments, the Mayor's GRYD Office selected one gang prevention and one gang intervention service provider for each GRYD Zone using a competitive RFP process. In developing the scope of work for the prevention and intervention RFPs, the GRYD Office worked with and collected information from various city and non-city entities, including universities, field experts, and the Ad Hoc Committee on Gang Violence and Youth Development to develop best practices, guidelines, and protocols for gang prevention and intervention programs, including a gang intervention academy to support the implementation of the gang intervention component of the Mayor's GRS. Grant Budget Below is a summary of the grantor-approved budget: Category Amount Mayor's Salaries - GRYD $ 51,000 Mayor's Fringe Benefits - GRYD $ 18,232 Travel $ 3,000 Contractual Services $247,746 Indirect Costs (Mayor's Salaries and Fringe Benefits- HSPS) $ 19,874 Total $339,852 Honorable Members of the City Council April 6, 2009 Page 3 Grant funds will support one community-based organization (CBO) in the amount of $247,746 for gang intervention services in the Pacoima/Foothill GRYD Zone. On November 5, 2008, the Mayor's Office released a RFP to identify one CBO with the greatest capacity to fulfill the desired outcomes of the Mayor's Gang Reduction Strategy. Proposals were due December 19, 2008 and following a thorough vetting process, recommendations were transmitted to the City Council on February 23, 2009 (CF#08-0178-S12) and approved on March 6, 2009. Communities in Schools was the bidder recommended and approved for funding in the Pacoima/Foothill GRYD Zone. The first contract term will be six-months, at a cost of $250,000, with the option to renew for a full 12 month term. The initial six month term will allow the Mayor's GRYD Office to assess whether the contractor has the capacity and expertise necessary to fulfill a full 12 month term. The cost for 12 months of intervention services is $500,000. The entire amount of $247,746 will be spent between April1, 2009 and September 30, 2009. The remaining 1% of the cost of the intervention contract will be secured through other sources. This grant will also partially fund an existing GRYD Program Manager to coordinate prevention and intervention programs in the Pacoima/Foothill GRYD Zone. Funds are also budgeted for the costs associated with two GRYD staff attending a mandatory OJJDP Grantee Training Meeting in Washington, DC. The Mayor's HSPS and GRYD Offices will jointly administer this grant and will be responsible for reporting, accounting, and compliance. A small portion of this contract is budgeted to cover these indirect costs. Indirect in the amount of $19,874 will be used to supplement a HSPS accountant's salary ($12, 769) and fringe benefits ($7, 105). The grant budget will be entirely expended by December 31, 2009. While this grant does not fund the suppression component of the Mayor's Gang Reduction Strategy in Pacoima/Foothill, there is a fully functional Community Law Enforcement and Recovery (CLEAR) program site in the GRYD Zone, operational since 1997. Funds for the CLEAR team (Deputy District Attorney, Deputy City Attorney, Deputy Probation Officer, and LAPD) come from a variety of grants and City funding. In addition to this grant, the Pacoima/Foothill GRYD Zone will be supported by other public and private sources. The total program budget for this GRYD Zone (including CLEAR) during FY 2008-09, inclusive of other grants and City cash, is $1,948,808. A budget for this GRYD Zone is included with this transmittal as Attachment A. Honorable Members of the City Council April 6, 2009 Page4 IT IS THEREFORE requested that the City Council: 1.

Our policy development is rooted in the wisdom of those working to tackle Britain’s deepest social problems and the experience of those whose lives have been affected by poverty. Our working groups are non-partisan, comprising prominent academics, practitioners and policy makers who have expertise in the relevant fields. We consult nationally and internationally, especially with charities and social enterprises, who are the the champions of the welfare society. In addition to policy development, the CSJ has built an alliance of poverty fighting organisations that reverse social breakdown and transform communities.

The North Carolina Gang Investigators Association (NCGIA) defines a gang as, “A group or association of three or more persons who may have a common identifying sign, symbol, or name and who individually or collectively engage in, or have engaged in criminal activity which creates an atmosphere of fear and intimidation. Criminal activity includes juvenile acts that if committed by an adult would be a crime.”88 For the past 12 years, the NC Governor’s Crime Commission (GCC) has investigated and reported on the nature and extent of criminal gangs within the state via the NC Criminal Justice Analysis Center (NCCJAC).89 The NC GCC sponsors a statewide, centralized criminal gang intelligence database called NC GangNET that houses intelligence information on gang members from agencies that choose to enter the data. To be classified and recorded as a gang for NC GangNET, a gang is defined using the NCGIA definition above. At least two of the following criteria must be established for an individual to be validated as a gang member in the NC GangNET database, unless an individual is a self-admitted member of a gang (in which case, the self-admission stands alone for meeting validation criteria)90: 1. Self-Admitted: Subject has admitted to being a gang member. 2. Gang Tattoos/Markings: Subject is known to have gang tattoos or markings.
