SUBJECT: proposed Resolution
REFERENCES: Liberty City Learning Center
ENCLOSURES:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution
authorizing funding, in the amount of $35,000, to the Liberty City Learning Center. Funding is to
be provided from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund, Project Numbers 690001, 690002 and 690003.
BACKGROUND
The Miami Police Department supports positive youth programs such as the Liberty City Learning
Center. This organization offers an after-school program for children in the Liberty City area.
Children are referred to the center by teachers and/or are brought there by their parent who would
rather have the child at the center instead of wandering the streets without supervision. The
Learning Center uses retired teachers who volunteer to provide tutoring services in both reading
and math, as well as counseling in matters concerning conflict resolution, youth development, self-
esteem, and crime prevention.
