STOCKTON CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ACCEPTANCE OF GRANT FUNDS FROM THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA BOARD OF STATE COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS, IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,019,656 FOR THE CALIFORNIA VIOLENCE INTERVENTION AND PREVENTION (CALVIP) GRANT FOR THE PERIOD OCTOBER 1, 2022 THOUGH DECEMBER 30, 2025, AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF GRANT AGREEMENTS In July 2022, the City of Stockton submitted an application to the State of California’s Board of State Community Corrections (BSCC) California Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) Grant; and On September 8, 2022, the City of Stockton Office of Violence Prevention (OVP) was notified by the BSCC that the application was approved in the amount of $2,019,656 for a three-year period; and The Office of Violence Prevention (OVP) proposes to build on this success by expanding Ceasefire strategies to youth ages 12 to 17 while also creating a youth prevention/intervention program focused on deterring young people from violence. Additionally, utilizing the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) Comprehensive Gang Model, OVP and community partners seek to create a youth prevention/intervention steering committee to collectively, through an integrated system, address Stockton’s gun violence. Equally crucial as suppressing violence in Stockton is fostering wellness and resilience in individuals, communities, and service providers impacted by gun violence. OVP and partners will engage in trauma-informed activities focused on healing and wellness. The grant period runs from October 1, 2022 through December 31, 2025; and As specified in the application material, the CalVIP Grant requires 100 percent local match. The $2,539,043 in-kind match represents the efforts for several existing city staff members, resources, and partner agencies to this increase in capacity, integrating this work into core operations. Elements of this are detailed to reflect the fact that OVP lead staff will be highly focused on increasing program capacity over this period; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AS FOLLOWS:
Authorize the acceptance of grant funding from the State of California Board of State Community Corrections California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) Grant; and Authorize all required appropriations and expenditures in compliance with and for the purposes stated in the project agreement over a three-year time period; and Authorize the allocation of a full-time grant funded Outreach Worker Supervisor position for the duration of the three-year grant term; and The grant funds received hereunder shall not be used to supplant expenditures controlled by this body; and The City of Stockton agrees to ensure all matching funds required for the grant are provided and abide by the terms and conditions of the grant Agreement as set forth by BSCC; and The City Manager, or designee, is authorized and directed to execute on behalf of the City of Stockton, all required contracts or agreements with the granting agency, provide additional information and furnish such documents as may be required, execute all documents and amendments or extensions pertaining to the grant project; and The City Manager, or designee, is hereby authorized to take appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this Resolution.
