RECOMMENDATION
Staff Recommends That The City Council:
Adopt A Resolution Amending Resolution 89273 Authorizing The City Administrator To Execute Grant Agreements With Non-Profits And Public Agencies To Provide Violence Prevention And Intervention Services In Accordance With The 2014 Oakland Public Safety And Services Violence Prevention Act For The Period July 1, 2022 To June 30, 2023 In A Total Amount Not To Exceed Nineteen Million Three Hundred And Fifty Thousand Dollars ($19,350,000), With A One-Year And Six-Month Option To Renew Through December 31, 2024, Pending Council Approval And Available Funds.
REASON FOR SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT
This item came before City Council on June 21, 2022 when Council approved Resolution 89273. This item is back before City Council because Center for Employment Opportunities, Inc. needs to be substituted in place of Oakland Kids First for the following reasons. The City’s Workforce Development Board (WDB) secured state funding for the Californians For All Youth Jobs Corps/Oakland Forward Program. In partnership with WDB, the Department of Violence Prevention (DVP) initially intended to award $400,000, over two-years, to Oakland Kids First.
Oakland Kids First primarily serves youth attending Castlemont High School.
Through additional information provided by the state, WDB and DVP learned Californians For All Youth Jobs Corps/Oakland Forward is intended to serve youth aged 16 to 35. To maximize the ability to serve older youth under the grant program, DVP seeks to switch providers. Center for Employment Opportunities, Inc. will provide Youth Job Corps services under the Oakland Forward grant allowing DVP to use General Purpose Funds to contract with Oakland Kids First to provide services to youth attending Castlemont High School.
There is no change to the overall funding amounts awarded and approved by City Council in June 2022 for DVP’s Services Funding Recommendations (Reso. No. 89273 C.M.S.). As Council approved, Oakland Kids First (OKF) will receive a grant in the amount of $200,000 for Oct 18, 2022

City Council
November 1, 2022
Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-2023, with the possibility of renewal through December 2024. Center for Employment Opportunities, Inc. (CEO) will receive a grant in the amount of $350,000 for the same grant period.
WDB accepted and awarded all Oakland Forward funds in July 2022 including the funds made available to DVP to implement the Californians For All Youth Jobs Corps/Oakland Forward Program (Reso. No. 89309 C.M.S.).
REASON FOR URGENCY
Due to the limited duration of the grant and the need to complete contracting and start services as soon as possible to comply with the grant timeline, DVP respectfully requests that the resolution is scheduled to City Council on November 1, 2022 via Rule 28. The resolution accompanying this report includes the substitution of CEO for OKF and the corrected funding amounts for each FY.
