Funding is to be provided from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund, Project Nos. 690001, 690002, and 690003. BACKGROUND The Police Athletic League ("PAL") currently provides several programs that merge sports and recreation with good citizenship activities; supplemented by substance abuse education, tutoring and career counseling. PAL services over 2,000 youths, between the ages of 8 and 18, through seasonal sports and other programs within the City of Miami. Examples of these programs include sporting events, homework club, youth talent shows, and other types of organized activities. PAL is requesting funding to increase recreational staff to supervise programs being offered within City parks located in the North, Central and South districts. The recommended Law Enforcement Trust Fund contribution, in the amount of $155,625, will provide funding for the hiring of one (1) PAL Recreational Aide Supervisor ($22,391) and six (6) PAL Recreational Aides ($107,478). The Aides will work forty (40) hours per week and be paid $8 per hour. PAL personnel will monitor all activities, in conjunction with City of Miami Parks and Recreation on -site staff, plan and organize recreational/educational activities, and promote PAL sponsored events within City parks. Funding will also be utilized to purchase staff uniforms ($756) and equipment ($25,000) needed for recreational activities such as for basketball, football, participant uniforms, and etc. This is an innovative approach to supplement existing resources and provide for a safer environment for the youth or our community.
