AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY ITEM NUMBER: 14
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL DATE: November 5, 2002
STAFF:
Tom McLellan
SUBJECT:
First Reading of Ordinance No. 155, 2002, Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue in the
General Fund for the Police Services Restorative Justice Program.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Fort Collins Police Services Restorative Justice Program has received a grant in the amount
of $34,000 from the Colorado Division of Criminal Justice to help fund the Restorative Justice
Program. This grant does not require an in-kind match by the City.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This grant partially funds the Fort Collins Police Services Restorative Justice Program. This
program is designed to implement a restorative response to juvenile crime in the Fort Collins and
surrounding area of the 8th Judicial District. The program's target population is youth between
the ages of 10 and 18. The Restorative Justice Youth Conferencing Program has been working
with area youth for two years and its purpose is to provide youth conferencing services to local
criminal justice agencies including Fort Collins Municipal Court, 8th Judicial District Court, the
Probation Department and Police Services. The intended impact is to ensure a juvenile's first
brush with the law is his or her last. Program members attempt to accomplish this goal by
developing the offender's understanding of the true harm of his or her criminal behavior. This is
done through community conferencing, with a strong emphasis on victim input and community
involvement.
