Not approve the list presented by staff; however, keep the 11 vendors that applied so they do not have to reapply, and extend opportunity for others to submit grant applications to September 16, 2010, at 5:00 p.m.; direct staff to send out letter to nonprofits with outline of proposal; direct ONS Director DeVone Boggan to do outreach to nonprofits regarding RFQ; place notice on KCRT indicating where bid information was located on City website

Why This Vote Matters
The council rejected the staff's recommended list of vendors for anti-violence programs, but decided to keep the door open for more organizations to apply. Instead of approving the proposed vendors who would provide life skills training and support services, the council voted 5-1 to extend the application deadline to September 16 and require city staff to do more outreach to nonprofit organizations. Councilmember Butt cast the lone dissenting vote against this approach. Each approved vendor would be eligible for up to $200,000 annually through 2013 to run workshops aimed at reducing neighborhood violence.
