Re: CONTRACT BETWEEN CITY OF MIAMI GARDENS AND THE
CHILDREN'S TRUST FOR CHILD MURDER AND YOUTH VIOLENCE
PREVENTION INITIATIVE
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Recent senseless murders of our children drove the Board of Directors of the Children's Trust,
spearheaded by Commissioner Barbara Jordan, to seek proposals from qualified applicants to
implement comprehensive violence prevention programs in local neighborhoods.
The City of Miami Gardens led the effort to build a collaborative partnership with several government
agencies and community-based organizations throughout the Miami Gardens and Opa-Locka
communities, which resulted in a proposal to reduce violent actions against youth by providing
services to 4569 youth between the ages of 5-18 and 200+ parents.
At the December 2006 Board meeting of the Children's Trust, the City of Miami Gardens' proposal
received unanimous approval to be fully funded in the amount of $750,000.
Attorneys from both parties are finalizing the contractual agreement. Attached you will find this draft
contract. In addition, Memorandums of Understandings will be established between the City of Miami
Gardens and the various collaborators to ensure services are delivered and desired targets are met.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Council approve this resolution to allow the City Manager to negotiate a
contract with the Children's Trust in the amount of $750,000; thus allowing staff to proceed with
enacting components of the proposal with the various collaborators.
