ADOPTION OF MARCH 20, 2008 AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT Adopted as submitted 3. PUBLIC STATEMENTS None 4. DEFERRED BUSINESS A. Update regarding Gang and Graffiti Enforcement — Rector Graffiti Police Lt. Bianco reported that a 15-year-old who was recently arrested admitted to 14 graffiti offenses. During the interview, approximately 10 people were identified as the crew, which lead to another arrest. There is a meeting set for Friday, April 15, 2008 that will include Kern County Probation, District Attorney, City Attorney, Bakersfield Police and Councilmember Scrivner to discuss improving methods of documentation, arrests, interrogation and prosecution. Advisory member Williams asked if restitution could lie more with the youth offenders rather than with their parents. According to Lt. Bianco, each case is unique and subjective. Probation Chief Roberts reported that if the offense does not require Court involvement, the offender meets with a Probation Officer, who then dictates informal sanctions like community service. If the matter does justify Court involvement, restitution will be ordered and the parents will be held liable. Advisory member Strong asked about programs to educate offenders following their arrest. According to Probation Chief Roberts, there is no specific program that addresses graffiti at this time. There are, however, different prevention services that are provided for juveniles. Crime Analysis Reports Police Chief Rector reported on a program that has been developing over five years. Currently, crime maps are published weekly. Soon, they will be published daily in an almost real-time dissemination of data. This will not only benefit law enforcement, but the community as well, as it will provide information regarding activities in any given area of the City. The goal is to have a display model within the next month. Gangs To date in 2008, there have been 225 felony and 167 misdemeanor arrests. Approximately 11 guns are seized per month. In cooperation with Probation and Parole, there have been in excess of 1,500 probation/parole searches. There have been 10 shootings to date. In this same period in 2007, there were 19.

Update regarding Transitional Housing Project - Kunz Economic Development Director Kunz reported that the biggest issue is operational funding. The amount of funds available to operate this type of facility is small. She suggested submitting a Request for Proposals to find out if there are service providers with their own operating resources who would be in a position to run the facility. Staff has found that there are two sources of funds that would be usable: tax increment and federal HOME funds. All monies are allocated for this fiscal year; however, proposals can be accepted anytime for future allocations. Ms. Kunz cautioned that receiving funding for operations will be difficult. Probation Chief Roberts reported that most juveniles who are paroled from the Department of Juvenile Justice have to go back to Court to have their jurisdiction changed to probation. Most return home to live with their family, although one juvenile was placed into transitional home in Taft, but that was the only facility willing to take him in. Committee Chair Carson reported that there are group homes funded by the State. She is working with Mental Health on a pilot program whereby gang enforcement funding is set aside to provide residential treatment individually to those young people who have demonstrated an addiction to alcohol and drugs. Advisory member Williams stated the need to have a facility, not a home, with different services on site. C. Update regarding Parks Programs - Hoover Recreation and Parks Director Hoover presented a slide show that summarized the programs provided by the Department to help prevent some of young people from entering a life of crime or gang. Hard copies of the presentation were distributed. Advisory member Campbell thanked the Recreation and Parks' staff for their assistance with the Easter event at Martin Luther King, Jr. Park. 5. COMMITTEE COMMENTS Committee member Scrivner spoke about the possibility of offering rewards for reporting graffiti and some lesser crimes that do not qualify for Secret Witness rewards through an anonymous tip line. He asked that staff formulate a plan that would include information on the process to accept donations through the Bakersfield Foundation. Committee Chair Carson asked that the June meeting be held at Martin Luther King, Jr. Park. Advisory member Strong reported on the opening of a new facility on Oswell at Center, behind Ramon Garza School. This facility is available to any community based organization that wishes to use it for outreach. Nathan Curtis at the Cottonwood facility is contact person, and he can be reached at 874.3804.

Committee Chair Carson asked for a report at the May Committee meeting. Susan LeRude with Kern County Probation reported that they started a new summer program in collaboration with Garden Pathways and North of the River Recreation and Parks District in the Oildale area. Youth who have been referred for early intervention and their siblings can take part, and will be bused to the facility. Probation Chief Roberts stated that seven families participated in the first graduation from the Strengthening Families program. Marques Stansberry with Ebony Counseling Center reported that they have been asked by the County for preliminary reports on their prevention programs. They are working diligently with elementary and middle schools on agreements that will provide their staff with campus access. Thus far, agreements with Pauly and Bessie E. Owens Elementary Schools, and Sierra Jr. High School have been secured. Sixty four children are enrolled. Mr. Stansberry also said that there is a youth festival scheduled for May 9, 2008 at California State University at Bakersfield. Karen Goh with Garden Pathways said that there are some great success stories reported by parents who have participated in their mentoring programs. 6.

You do the math! Prepared by the Orange Unified School District's Office of Child Welfare and Attendance In 2005-06, there were 1,974,645 9` -12 1h grade students in California's public schools and 68,420 students were reported as being a dropout. This represents a one year dropout rate of 3.5%and a four year dropout rate of 14.1%. There is a high correlation between truancy and dropping out of school. Too many students live for today, this moment,this hour and have little or no connection to their future. The following data represents the potential loss of income per hour of truancy for students who dropout, but were capable of obtaining a high level of education. Students need to make good decisions every day. Perhaps this information will help students realize why staying in school is the best choice for their future. All of the data is based on public information developed by the U.S. Department of Labor in the years 2004 and 2006 as noted. In the typical high school, a student attends six—one hour classes a day for 180 days in a school year. That is 1,080 hours a year and 4,320 hours for the 9th, 10", 11 h and 12'h grades. The potential loss of earning per hour of truancy is calculated by di iding the lifetime difference in earnings by the 4,320 hours. _ Potential Loss of Earnings per o Hour of Truancy for missing a ears of school tit E No high school 6.8% $419 $23,400 $936,000 $0 $0 $0 $0 $0 diploma High school 4.3% $595 $30,400 $1,216,000 $280,000 $65 $89 $129 $259 graduate Some college 3.9% $674 $36,800 $1,472,000 $536,000 $124 $170 $248 $496 no degree Associate 3.0% $721 $38,200 $1,528,000 $592,000 $137 $188 $274 $548 degree Bachelor's 2.3% $962 $52,200 $2,088,000 $1,152,000 $266 $367 $533 $1066 degree Master's 1.7% $1,140 $62,300 $2,492,000 $1,556,000 $360 $495 $720 $1440 degree Professional 1.1% $1,474 $109,600 $4,384,000 $3,448,000 $798 $1098 $1596 $3192 degree Doctorial 1.4% $1,441 $89,400 $3,576,000 $2,640,000 $611 $840 $1222 $2444 degree In the world of Child Welfare and Attendance, there are patterns of attendance that exist correlating truancy to dropping out. Rather than calculating 6 periods a day for 4 years, it would be more realistic to use the following example: Let's say a student named Jim is an excellent middle school student and has the potential to go on to college and graduate with a four year degree. However,Jim starts hanging around with the wrong crowd and turns to the world of marijuana. Jim has 20 single period truancies in the 91h grade (20 hours.) He goes on to the 10'h grade and has 45 single period truancies (45 hours.) He is transferred to the continuation school in the I lo' grade and has 75 single period truancies (75 hours.) Jim attends school for half the year in the 12'h grade with 40 single period truancies(40 hours) and drops out for the final 90 days (540 hours.) That is a total of 720 hours of truancy. Since Jim had the potential of going on and earning a four year college degree but dropped out, his hourly loss of potential earnings was$1600 per hour of truancy.
