The NRP Policy Board approved the $1M Community Oriented Public Safety Initiatives Reserve Fund at its meeting tonight. There was considerable discussion about the proposal prior to its passage.
One key decision made is that the funds reserved for the $1M pool will be deducted from the funds available to all neighborhoods in Phase II and deducted before the individual neighborhood allocations were calculated. In other words, for neighborhoods that eventually receive public safety services "over and above" the level included in the approved city budget there will be no matching funds required and no deduction from individual neighborhood's Phase II allocations. The proposed strategy must be approved by the neighborhood organization Board of Directors and be developed in consultation with the local precinct commander. NRP staff will develop criteria for accessing Reserve funds, which criteria will be reviewed by the Policy Board at its February 23, 2004 meeting. The approved deadline date for neighborhood proposals is April 1, 2004, with review by NRP and anticipated approval of selected proposals by the Policy Board at its meeting on April 19, 2004.
