as last year.
Councilmember Posey and staff discussed that a report and presentation by StandUp For Kids resulted
in their award being doubled this year based on their success last year.

Police Department. Staff explained reduction amounts by category. Mayor Pro Tern Semeta asked that
the allocation remain the same as last year for this group.
Councilmember Brenden asked that the allocation for Homeless Outreach in the Police Department be
the same as last year, and confirmed with Director Fritzal that Administration of Housing/Code
Enforcement is projected to be the same as last year. Director Fritzal explained that staff is working with
the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on how to best utilize funds, and described

so the numbers in the report are really just estimates at this time. Director Fritzal confirmed that a final

final process to approve fund allocation via public hearing.

in the Police Department.
Councilmember Delgleize voiced her support for keeping the numbers the same as last year, at least
until actual amounts are available.
Councilmember Posey shared that in his opinion the homeless cycle can be impacted by reaching at -risk
and homeless youth to hopefully prevent them from becoming homeless as adults.
Mayor Peterson clarified that in his opinion the funding increase for StandUp For Kids should be
maintained, and other categories need to be reduced so that the Homeless Outreach in the Police
Department can be funded at the same level as last year.
A motion was made by Posey, second Semeta to recess to Closed Session for Items 3 —14. With no
objections, the motion carried.
