First Readinq of Ordinance No. 009 2010 Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue in the General Fund for the Restorative Justice Program. (staff: Perrie McMillen) A grant in the amount of $15,000 has been received from the Bohemian Foundation for salaries associated with the continued operation of the RESTORE Program within Restorative Justice Services that deals with shoplifting offenses. RESTORE is an alternative method of holding a young offender accountable by facilitating a meeting with the young offender, parents/guardians, a victim/merchant representative and members of the community to determine the harm done by the crime, and what should be done to repair the harm. In a RESTORE session, participants are educated about how shoplifting harms not only the merchant, but many other parts of the community. The objective in a RESTORE session is to help the young offenders understand how their actions affect others, and make them accountable for the harm caused by their actions. By addressing all concerns in an open circle, it is hoped that offenders' awareness of how their actions impact others will increase, and they will make better future decisions. Community volunteers help the young people understand the harm caused and encourage them to become more productive members of the community. The young offenders then have 30 to 60 days to complete contract obligations designed to repair the harm to victim, community, family and self, after which they return for a completion interview with community volunteers. Upon program completion, charges against an offender may be dismissed or not filed. 4. Items Relating to the FC Bike Library Program. (staff: DK Kemp, Kathleen Bracke) A.

Joe Frank, Steve Dush, Megan Bolin, Clark Mapes; 30 minute discussion) Staff is seeking feedback and direction on how to address issues in the East and West Side Neighborhoods created by the alteration or replacement of older houses with new construction. Such buildings are commonly referred to as "pop-ups", "scrape-offs" or "tear-downs". Some have caused controversy regarding aspects of compatibility with adjacent homes and neighborhood character.

The goal is to foster compatible design of future "pop-ups" and "scrape-offs"through an open public process. 3.
