SUBJECTI
CONSIDER IMPLEMENTING AN INMATE BIKE REPAIR PROGRAM
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION'
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to the Finance Committee with
input from the Sheriff and the Social Services Department to look at
an inmate program in bike repair similar to the excellent program that
was implemented last year as part of the "Santa's Workshop. "
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Barry W. Tyler of the Cyclery. Group
brought several ideas to my attention regarding bikes for children and
families in need. The Cyclery Group has been recognized in the past
for its outstanding program donating bikes to Nicaragua. After the
tremendous problems and needs revealed in the recent crisis in Los
Angeles, Mr. Tyler called and suggested we do something with bikes in
our own area.
The proposed bike repair program. could be operated in
conjunction with the police departments who have unclaimed bikes and
the public who may wish to donate used bikes to this effort. Repaired
bikes would be redistributed after a thorough repair and safety check
to deserving high risk and disadvantaged youth. Mr. Tyler is
interested in providing specialized instruction to 'inmates in bike
repair and maintenance. Other volunteers could assist in expanding
the excellent concept displayed through the "Santa's Workshop" program
last year.
