Delinquency Prevention Presentation (B)
This informational presentation is an action step for the City Commission's Strategic Initiative #3.3 Analyze the Availability and Accessibility of Youth Programs and Identify a Role for Government.
Explanation
During the City Commission Strategic Planning session, a new initiative was identified under the Human Capital Category asking that staff "Analyze the Availability and Accessibility of Youth Programs and Identify a Role for Government." Tony Jones, Community Relations Coordinator at the Gainesville Police Department and Michelle Park, Assistant Director of the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Department, are the co-Champions for this initiative. One of the very first action steps is to present to the City Commission a statistical analysis of juvenile delinquency issues in Alachua County.
The State Attorney's Office has recently updated these statistics and through a PowerPoint presentation by Ms. Gretchen Howard, Program Manager of Project Payback, the status of juvenile delinquency will be provided for information purposes.
Fiscal Note
No funds are being requested

The City Commission accept this presentation as Action Step 1 for Strategic Initiative #3.3 Analyze the Availability and Accessibility of Youth Programs and Identify a Role for Government.
The City Commission denies this presentation as Action Step 1 for Strategic Initiative #3.3 Analyze the Availability and Accessibility of Youth Programs and Identify a Role for Government.
