Do I have a motion?

All in favor, indicate by saying aye.

F FY 2026, first quarter performance report on activities and finances.

And then we also have a written report on partners with the shared mission quarterly update.

Do we have any questions on those written reports?

Going once, going twice.

Seeing none, let's keep moving.

Uh, I understand we have a speaker signed up to address the CCPD board.

Are they present?

Dennis, are they present?

I think they're supported out.

Adrian Smith, are you in the room?

It appears to be a okay.

All right.

Well, let's continue moving on.

Item four discussion and action items.

We have a consideration of emerging parker's program funding requests and uh Jay Coding is yours.

Uh good morning, good afternoon, President and members of the board.

Uh for it's my pleasure to present one program grant for a quarter two uh from United Way of Tarrant County.

United Way of Tarrant County is requesting 995,758 dollars for their youth gun violence and gang violence reduction project.

This request also does require a match of 231,919.

So under the administrative oversight of United Way of Tarrant County, VP uh VIP Fort Worth will address cyclical retaliate retaliatory gun and gang violence in targeted neighborhoods located in districts three, five, and eight.

Uh and by investing in the development, health, and overall well-being of those individuals involved in gang violence.

They will also be fostering and promoting mentorship that motivates, inspires, and develops confidence in the program participants.

This approach is a two-pronged approach.

It's crime prevention through the support of 50 advanced peace program participants age 18 to 35 years old, uh, with the goal of moving them towards positive alternatives, and then the crime intervention approach with which will reduce and or sustain the reduction in community violence victimization from gun and gang incidences.

Uh, this will also be based on um they'll be using a the 2025 crime statistics as the baseline.

Uh, this proposal has been reviewed and recommended for funding by the emerging partners advisory board, and we have today with us Mr.

Chris Alvarado, Vice President of Community Investments with United Way of Tarrant County, and Pastor Rodney Macintosh with VIP Fort Worth to answer any questions.

As of February, 2026, our available funding for CCPD partners with a shared mission stands at a little over 4.7 million dollars.

If the recommendation is approved today, it will leave a total remaining balance of 3.7.

And we currently have six grants awaiting review by the emerging partners advisory board amounting to uh 2.1, thus leaving 1.5.

Um, if all proposals under um if all proposals are under review are approved.

And uh currently we have 50 active contracts totaling 7.2 17.2 million.

So at this time, we ask staff uh we staff recommends that the board take appropriate action on the recommendation today.

Are there any questions regarding that presentation?

I just have a comment, Carlos.

I I want to specifically thank United Way, Chris, and your team, and uh Rodney Macintosh.

I've had this conversation with United Way leadership and with Pastor McIntosh about the opportunity to to fund VIP in a way that lets you do the work and not have the administrative version and the operations piece, which we know United Way is best suited for, and I'm I'm excited about this opportunity to stretch our CCP dollars further, frankly, and allow an entity like United Way that's trusted partner with the city of Fort Worth, but allow Pastor Macintosh to do more work across the city of Fort Worth, especially when it comes to preventing gun violence in our city.

This is just one piece of the puzzle.

We understand that that there's a lot of work happening and special thanks to Councilmember Peoples and others who have who've been leading a charge across the city and council member Hall, but I just I want to I want staff to know I appreciate them working on this opportunity and bringing it forward today.

I do a lot came into it to a short presentation.

So thank you very much.

I'll echo this uh sentiments, Mayor.

As uh being a co-chair of the one second collaborative, uh we did do a lot of uh deep diving in a certain categories, you know, as Ronnie can test too.

And uh if any uh council member would like a more detailed uh you know results report.

I know I already provided that to councilwoman peoples.

Uh you know, certainly we can provide that you know to council members if you want to start getting into specifics as far as results thus far.

I think it's very important.

Any other questions?

No, but I I did want to thank the chair for sharing the one second collaborative with me when we got ready to do our uh session on gun violence that we did in district five.

Uh councilman mayor hotel flores was uh really forthcoming with that and attended the session with us, and I am grateful.

All right, well, we have an item in front of us, so uh let's consider a vote on that.

Uh to consider the uh request of amount of 995,758 dollars.

I need a motion.

Second, all right.

Any other discussion?

All in favor indicate by saying aye.

Aye.

Aye, all right, great.

Motion passes.

Thank you.

Chairman, I wanted to make a note that I was recusing myself from that vote.

I'm an executive member of the United Way board, so I'll be recusing myself from that.

All right, so we know it.

Thank you.

All right, next up we have consideration of fiscal year 2026 budget amendments and adjustments.

Good afternoon, President, members of the board.

I'm Lorraine Coleman with the police department, and I'm here to go over some budget changes for fiscal year 26.

These changes reflect alignment with our current executive leadership, and as you're aware, our policies require um approval by the board and subsequently the council for appropriation of additional funds or movement in funding between adopted initiatives and programs.

The first one we're going to look at today is um an amendment for appropriating available fund balance for the group health insurance fund for the for the CCPD funds portion proportionate share of their current deficit.

That amount is 829,860.

The next one that we're proposing is a transfer of savings from the community information program.

There was a contract that was um canceled, and we're using the savings from that to fund the comprehensive crime plan project in the amount of 109,860, and those are savings that are being moved from one initiative to another.

The next one is for a policy change that's been made where in by which all new radios are issued to tenured officers.

They were issued to um trainees, so we're moving that budget from the um new officer training program into the technology infrastructure.

And lastly, is um the constitutional policing unit.

Um, this is for a new program within the fund.

This is for um funding to fund a position for this year, and as we're going through budget development, we'll be looking at the rest of that.

Um, but those savings are uh being taken from the civilian response unit, which was which were from salary savings, and I understand most of those positions are being filled, so these are available salary savings that we have to move.

And with that, we recommend you close the public hearing and take appropriate action.

All right, any questions on these items?

And I guess we'll take them together if that's all right.

I think you can do your or okay.

Any questions on those items, madam mayor?

Question Lorraine on the fund balance transfer related to health care costs.

Is that something we've needed to do before out of CCBD into the general fund to cover costs?

That's the first I recall, but we do have allocations that come out of CCPD and go to various funds for um those costs.

Yeah, and the only reason I ask is understanding the constraints we have and increase costs on our health care fund overall, and just curious if this is something that this board on behalf of C C P D may need to be more familiar with moving forward if we think that's going to be needed for fund balance purposes.

But Dennis may have looks like he's got comments.

We're also going to be having a conversation shortly, I know, with um the lab on long-term forecasting.

Okay.

That's helpful.

That's an upcoming thank you.

Dennis, did you have something to add?

I was just going to add that the um at the end of January, the council as the council approved a year end.

And essentially every fund that pays for employees, both salaries and benefits, was asked to contribute proportionately based on how many employees they cover.

So this is only CCPD covering the proportionate share for its for the employees you're otherwise paying.

Okay.

I trust that you wouldn't let us do that anyway.

Thank you, Dennis.

Any other questions?

All right.

Well, I'm looking for a motion to close public hearing and uh make motion over the vote.

All right.

All in favor indicate by saying aye.

Aye.

Motion passes.

All right.

Request for future agenda items.

Yes, ma'am.

Maybe for legal, but just the grant process that we go through.

I'm specifically thinking about safety and security along East Lancaster.

I know Presbyterian Night Shelter received a grant two years ago.

And so I'd like some additional information on how long they have to wait to reapply and if any of the other shelters have applied for the same grant.

Is that clear, Steph?

Okay, perfect.

When is our next CCPD meeting scheduled, Carlos?

Do you know?

We do not know offhand.

End of May.

End of May.

If um if we can maybe allocate the right amount of time just to go over the grant making process in general, how CCPD approaches those opportunities, especially for newer council members.

I think that's very helpful.

And you can include to Macy's question too related to East Lancaster.

I think you can put them all together.

Very good.

We'll do that.

Thank you.

Any other feature agenda item requests?

All right, seeing none, we are adjourned.

Thank you.

Thank you, Steph.

HFC.
