Dear President Deiter and Council Members:
The attached ordinance will appropriate the first year of funding for Weed & Seed site #2
Northwest from the Department of Justice (DOJ) grant award of $175,000-for the period
of October 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009. The budget submitted as required with
the initial designation application was recently approved by the DOJ in January.
These funds are being used for programming related to the Weed & Seed required areas
of Law Enforcement, Community Policing and, Prevention, Intervention and Treatment
activities. Included in this year's funding are police patrols, the time of a targeted
prosecuting attorney, graffiti paint over supplies, Bridges Out of Poverty classes, a
billboard art contest for youth, and items related to an after school program. These
activities are the beginning of a multi-year effort for Site #2.
I will present this ordinance at your meeting on March 23, 2008. Please contact me with
any questions prior to then. Thank you.
Sincerely,.,
. ~,
