To have the city manager direct a staff work group to work out the details of how we would start with the County and maybe recommend something for the mid-year review, or for the July 1, 2008-2009 budget, that would incorporate the Office of Neighborhood Safety and all the programs that are part of the City's violence prevention efforts with youth and probation

Why This Vote Matters
City council unanimously approved directing staff to develop partnerships with the county to expand youth violence prevention services. The city manager will coordinate a work group to create a plan that combines Richmond's existing youth programs with the Office of Neighborhood Safety and other violence prevention efforts. This could result in new services for at-risk youth, with funding recommendations expected either at the mid-year budget review or in the 2008-2009 budget process. The decision builds on council's consistent support for public safety measures, as all members have backed the majority of such initiatives in recent meetings.
