14. COUNCIL BUSINESS
A. CONSIDERATION OF A FUNDING REQUEST FROM REACH OUT FOR THE 2022 CALIFORNIA VIOLENCE INTERVENTION AND
PREVENTION GRANT
Staff Report presented by Michael Flad, Assistant City Manager. Mr. Flad reported that in 2022, Reach Out applied for and was successful in receiving a grant in the amount of $5,871,226. The grant requires a 1:1 match. In November of last year, the City Council received information on the program as part of a study session that Reach Out provided to the Council. Some of the matching funds for the grant can be in-kind and other funds have to be cash or general fund type matches. At the direction of the City Manager, the City of Jurupa Valley has committed $2.1 million dollars of in-kind value to the grant as part of an existing annual contract with the Riverside Sheriff’s Department. Reach Out is re questing a general fund contribution of $600,000. Should the Council wish to fund this request, Staff would recommend that $200,000 be included in the current FY Budget with another $400,000 recommendation as part of next year’s budget.
-14-
Diana Fox , Executive Director , Reach Out provided an overview of the multi - strategy initiative that will touch on youth, families, and the elderly across the spectrum of the City. She reported that all of the expenditures that would be made with the matching funds will go towards projects that the City is already planning to do such as a corridors plan, blight reduction, and other policies that will improve the quality of life in Jurupa Valley. She provided three options for the matching funds, which include both in-kind and cash match contributions.
Anthony Kelly, Jr. stated that Reach Out is “more than a blessing” to the City of Jurupa Valley as every project and initiative that they have created has provided a strong social infrastructure. He voiced support of the $6 00,000 allocation in matching funds.
Further discussion followed.
Council Member Armando Carmona voiced support of the $600,000 cash match as this is a partnership with key agencies in the county that will provide a specific benefit towards violence prevention and other public safety issues that provides an opportunity to gain access to close to $11 million in community benefits.
Mayor Pro Tem Brian Berkson stated that due to the state’s current budget deficit, he is not comfortable budgeting $600,00 0 over the next two years. He suggested that the Council allocate a $200,000 cash match as it has already been appropriated in the City’s budget.
Further discussion followed.
A motion was made b y Council Member Leslie Altamirano , seconded by Council Member Chris Barajas , to approve the Modified Option #2, which would provide an in-kind (non-cash) match in the amount of $1.35 million for FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 towards the 2022 California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) Grant.
