CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
Subject:
Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino ratifying the
submission of the Cal-grip grant for fiscal year 2011 and authorize the City Manager to accept
the grant award.
Backitround:
On October 1, 2010, the California Emergency Management Agency (Cal EMA) released a
Request for Proposal for the California Gang Reduction, Intervention, and Prevention Program,
2010/11. Only Cities may apply for up to $400,000 in grant funds for gang prevention,
intervention and suppression activities. Successful applicants will be required to distribute at
least 20 percent of the grant funds to one or more Community Based Organizations; and,
applicants that implement evidence based programs, as defined by the Governor's Office of
Gang and Youth Violence Policy, will receive 15 additional points.
The City of San Bernardino, under the Operation Phoenix initiative, has been successful in
securing three other Cal-GRIP grants totaling almost $1.2 million. Successful applications in the
past have included partnerships with San Bernardino County Probation, to fund a Probation
Officer to work with our SBPD gang units, parenting classes through Young Visionaries; and,
contracts with Catholic Charities and the Urban Youth Conservation Corps. The Urban Youth
Conservation Corps and Catholic Charities have been highly successful in their intervention
efforts with gang affiliated youth, and youth at-risk of joining gangs.
This grant proposes that the City of San Bernardino, if funded, contract again with the Urban
Youth Conservation Corps and Catholic Charities for evidence based gang intervention services.
Gang intervention services will be provided to 100 Probation and at-risk middle school and high
school youth. Target areas for the grant will include two Housing Authority sites, at Whitney
Young and Waterman Gardens, and at the Delman Heights Community Center.
The Urban Youth Conservation Corps, under the umbrella of the National Forest Association,
will provide workforce development skills to targeted youth by participating in meaningful
forestry conservation projects including wildlife management, firefighting, and community
engagement. Catholic Charities will provide the Botvin Life Skills Training program, an
evidence based program, that uses developmentally appropriate, collaborative learning strategies
to help students achieve competency in the skills that have been found to reduce and prevent
substance abuse and violence. The California State University San Bernardino-Center for the
Study of Correctional Education will provide the required program evaluation component for the
grant.
1
The grant, if funded, will provide $198,562 per year for a two year period, from January 2011
through December 2012. The annual budget will include:
• Catholic Charities-$55,000
• Urban Youth Conservation Corps-$98,000
• Botvin Life Skills Training Program-$5,562
• CSUSB-$15,000
• City of San Bernardino-$25,000 (Administrative Overhead)
Funding requires a dollar-for-dollar (100 percent) match of the funds awarded to the recipient
(cash or in-kind). The match will be met through in-kind services provided by the Urban Youth
Conservation Corps and Catholic Charities. The City Manager's Office will administer the grant
with the assistance of the Mayor's Office.
Financial Impact:
The City will receive $50,000 over the course of the grant for administrative overhead.
Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.
