FLORIDA INTit"POICK MEMORANDUM DATE: APR 2 Q 1985 ofte; SUBJECT. Item for City Commission Actior REFERENCES: Overtown Athletic Program ENCLOSURES: "It is requested that the City Commission allocate funding in an amount not to exceed forty- five thousand dollars ($45,000) from the City of Miami Law Enforcement Trust Fund to cover necessary expenditures for the Police Department's Overtown Athletic Program as per the attached resolution." The City of Miami Police Department has implemented the Overtown Athletic Program in order to enhance our relationship with the Overtown community. This program provides an opportunity, mainly through sport activities, for youths and young adults to strive to do their best, build self-confidence, work as a team, develop self-discipline, learn sportsmanship, and work together on projects to improve their community. Over 600 youths and young adults have benefited from the boxing program and another 700 have benefited from other activities provided. A short time after the implementation of the Overtown Athletic Program, unemployment, one of the major concerns of young adult participants, was addressed. Officers began asking around the community for available employment, and in January of 1984, the jobs program entitled "Cop -A -Job" was begun. "Cop -A -Job" has been successful in identifying and placing participants in forty- two (42) jobs to date. This program is an ambitious undertaking that has operated with- out FY 84-85 budget funding. The officers involved have dipped into their own pockets, and I have financially supported this effort from my office allowance. Regardless, I am pleased to say that no youth has been turned away who lives in our City and has wanted to participate. 85-4'79 0 Sergio Periera City Manager -2= fo APR 2 4 WS At present, the Overtown Athletic Program is in need of funds to replace worn out equipment and to finance trips to compe- titions. Therefore, it is recommended that the City Commission approve this request for up to $45,000 in order to adequately support this initially experimental program which has proven its worth and now needs our genuine support. The funds for this program are available within the City of Miami Law Enforcement Trust Fund and the Police Legal Advisor has stated that this expenditure would be appropriate. Your consideration and approval of this request is greatly appreciated.
