DATE: March 20,2000 County
SUBJECT: Transfer of Weed&Seed Program and Truancy Reduction Program from the Housing Authority of the County of
Centra Costa to the Contra Costa County Employment and Human Services Department.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION{S}&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE the transfer of Weed&Seed Program and the Truancy Reduction Program from the Housing Authority of the County
of Contra Costa to the Contra Costa County Employment and Human Services Department.
AUTHORIZE the Director of Employment and Human Services and the Executive Director of the Housing Authority of the County
of Contra Costa, or designee(s),to execute all required documents to effect the transfers to be effective April 1,2000.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No County match is required, 100%of the program and related staff will be paid from the Weed and Seed and Truancy Reduction
grant funds.
BACKGROUND:
Two years ago the Housing Authority made a successful grant application to the federal Weed and Seed program resulting in the
unincorporated communities of North Richmond and Rodeo being designated Weed&Seed Communities. The program is funded
and administered by the U.S. Department of Justice and is designed to target high-crime areas. In addition to funding one full-time
Deputy Sheriff responsible for Community Policing in these two communities,the program also funds diversion programs for youths,
including a variety of educational and recreational programs. The Weed&Seed Program is a competitive grant program with grant
applications submitted annually. The program has a potential to receive three more years of grants.
The Weed and Seed Steering Committee consists of many County Department Heads, representatives of the Municipal Advisory
Councils in Rodeo and North Richmond, non-profit organizations and a Department of Justice representative. The Steering
Committee discussed the need to shift the administrative responsibilities to an agency with a broader and more community-wide
mandate in order for the program to evolve into a more leveraged and expansive program. Among the program improvements
discussed was the need for a full-time program administrator(as recommended by the Department of Justice) if it is to remain
competitive in its annual request for federal funding.
On March 16,2000,the Steering Committee met and approved a motion to recommend the transfer of the program to the County's
Employment and Human Services Department. This recommendation was made with the concurrence and agreement of the
Employment and Human Services Department and the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa.
The Department of Justice considers the Truancy Reduction Program as a companion program to the Weed and Seed Program,
and therefore they have requested that both programs be administered by the same agency.
