AGENDA NO. ATTACHMENTS: Grant resolution and grant application. APPROVED BY: The City of Rosemount has been awarded an intervention & prevention grant from the Minnesota Department of Public Safery in the amount of $99,966. Our first official action is to execute authorization from the City Council to receive the grant. I have attached the required resolution. Our project, entitled Community Crime Reduction, is funded for two years, beginning January l, 1995. The objectives of the project are: 1) Provide on-going afterschool, weekend, and summer activities for youth to increase social competencies, knowledge and positive values for their healthy development. 2) Involve students in co-curricular activities in school and community, youth service/service learning for citizenship and vocational experience. 3) Adults will support efforts to maintain and improve the health of their family members through full participation in available resources. 4) Community crime and drug prevention and high risk youth violence prevention activities will require- a commitment to mobilize the community to take action. We will accomplish these objectives by hiring a Communiry Service Worker to coordinate needed services with numerous human service agencies. These services will be concentrated in the Rosemount Green Townhome and Cimmaron area. There are over twenty organizations which have expressed commitment in this collaborative effort.

ROSEMOUNT PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM PROJECT SLI�vIMARY: Dedicated effort by single-parent representatives in the high-density low income/subsidized rental properties of Rosemount, Minnesota over the past two years has brought support of local citizens, community service organizations and school, county, city and private institutions to the concept of the Rosemount Partnership Program. This resiliency-based collaboration will focus as much on building protectior.as eradicating risks, on utilizing suengths and assets as treating problems, on cultivating healthy attitudes as discouraging dangerous behaviors. RPP is designed to support single-parent families in that targeted Rosemount community so that their children,have the same opportunities to thrive and succeed as'adults by acquiring necessary attitudes, behaviors and skills in health, interpersonal skills, knowledge, creativity, vocational options and citizenship. PROBLEM STATEMENT: The City of Rosemount, Dakota County Minnesota is in transition from a rural, independent community to an urban, interdependent community. It is a third ring suburb in the St. Paul/Minneapolis metropolitan area. The City has experienced a population growth of 28% in the last three years, with total population of 12,000. Subsidized, high- density housing for young families with children is concentrated in a one quarter square mile triangle of land within the city limits. Eight moderate and low: income rental housing developments (23b units) build since 1960 are increasingly occupied by former inner-city residents who have left the urban center. The availability of affordable housing, not the availability of necessary support services, determined where these families relocated. The search for jobs, better schools and a safer environment to raise a family are largely,unmet. The neighborhood targeted for study in the past two years differs from the surrounding community in a number of signi�cant ways. Sixty-one percent of these households are single-parent families compared with nineteen percent for the total city of Rosemount. Nineteen percent of children in this neighborhood are children of color compared with S.S% for the entire city. The 502 residents of this neighborhood triangle are impacted by violence and crime to a much greater degree than the wider community. The City af Rosemount Police Degartment report for August, 1993 to July, 1994 recorded 546 calls made within this subsidized housing community compared with 5931 calls for the remainder of the city. While residents of the target neighborhood comprise only 4.5% of the city population, they require more than 9% of the police responses. This is more than one call for eve:ry man, woman and child in the neighborhood. For comparison, in 1993,the Minneapolis police responded to one offense for every nine people; and St. Paul police responded to one crime for every 13 people:Rosemount Green Tawnhomes is within the targeted neighborhood and residents there have been working with a community collaboration to bring needed afterschool youth and family services on sigh2 in cooperation with "On the Move...for Minnesota Families° a community empowerment'program. Police calls to Rosemount Green Townhomes increased by only 25%while calls to the remainder of the neighborhood triangle went up 430% during the same time period. � Crime data trends in the neighborhood suggest increasing problems in many areas. Comparison with previous year's data shows a 57% increase in assaults, 21% increase in domestic violence,2G7% increase in weapons violations, 140% increase in.burglary and 00% r � ( increase in narcotics and liquor violations. Residences and commercial property surrounding the targeted triangle are adversely impacted by the level of poverty, lack of recreational facilities and positive activities to engage youth. School personnel and residents report that conflicts and needs in the neighborhood are also carried into the school setting and affects the learning environment daily. In March, 1993, the Dakota Alliance for Prevention did focus groups with parents residing in two nearby subsidized and affordable housing areas in Dakota County. Pazents and teens identified the need for both formal and informal support systems for children and families experiencing the isolation of living in high density housing within more affluent suburbs. To be more effective in helping their children resist alcohol and other drug abuse, parents requested more support and educational groups, more affordable activities for children and entire families and services accessible to the neighborhood. Transportation is a major obstacle in suburban and rural communities. In socially and geographically isolated locations in Dakota County, youth and struggling families have limited access to recreation,. place children in self-care or sibling care or work 2nd or 3rd shift jobs to minimize child care costs, and have limited or unreliable transportation. Older youth and struggling families are hesitant and uncomfortable or felt threatened to voluntarily enroll themselves or their children in "skill- building" community programs with user fees, set schedules, competitive orientation and equipment needs. Over the past year, residents of the targeted neighborhood have met with representatives of over thirty-five public, civic and volunteer family and youth support groups in Dakota County who identified 'butreach of prevention programs" as part of their mission statement. Monthly meetings have focused on service delivery of transportation, parent education, health services, child protection, support for basic needs and emergency services. Individually, every program, working independently has identi£ied budget restraints, lack of staff, lack of one coordinating body, culturally inappropriate promotion, sporadic offerings and travel expense as baniers to past requests for on-site services to youth and families. The Rosemount Green Townhome area has benefited from a successful collaboration pilot program over the past two years. Combined staff, program delivery and cbmmunity volunteers in the Rosemount Green Townhome area have worked together with the help of a weekly 6 hour on-site learning program from a 38-foot traveling teaching center, called "On the Move...for Minnesota Families". Over 50 youth, aged 3 - 15 have engaged in after- school, evening and summer programs designed to enrich educational, cultural and recreational opportumties for at-risk youth. The requests for program expansion requires a daily and permanent on-site family resource center to better facilitate the recreational, employment, health and social service needs of the 400 or more children and youth to prevent, decrease and intervene in violence and related high-risk behaviors of youth. As one nine-year old resident of the target community stated to the Rosemount City Council and the RPP task force, "why can't the kids have a safe place to learn and play, where we can go to talk through our problems and know that things can be better?". The Rosemount Partnership Program is the neutral ground where a youth and family resource program, designed by youth and families living in the target area can reflect their community's locarion, ages and resident learning needs. The Community Crime and Drug Prevention and High-Risk Youth Violence Prevention Grant from the Minnesota Prevention and Intervention Fund can serve as a bridge between organizations, families and the community offering new sldlls, new knowledge, improved equipment, unique facilities and education services. Members of the Rosemount Partnership Program have begun this coliaboration with youth, family and community serving organizations to create energy for the efficient delivery of programs, offer joint staff development, improve communications, eliminate duplication, increase use of programs,imprcve our public image, obtain better needs assessment, offer consistent information and increase availabiiity of resources. The targeted neighborhood has a history of expanding, strong and effective leadership from parents and youth in two of the townhouse complexes. Residents have invested their time and energy toward creating a healthier environment for children and families. While improving the interagency and community collaboration through the work of RPP this past year, the neighborhood representatives have not let us lose sight of the goal of improving the lives of children and families. They have focused attention on this basic, human level and posed real challenges to hurnan and social service professionals serving on RPP. Planning, promoting and providing a full range of coordinated family and � youth services and learning opportunities is being accepted as the responsibility of the larger community. RPP trusts the target community can help itself and is forming the larger collaboration to equip the community to do sa The Rosemount Partnership Program has a clear ernphasis on involvement and empowering families and the community to help themselves and recognized the need to build on the capability, skills and assets of the youth and families living here. Focus is not on the deficits, weaknesses and problems. This resiliency-based collaboration will focus as much on building protection as eradicating risks, on utilizing strengths and assets as treating problems, and on cultivating healthy attributes as discouraging dangerous behaviors.

They requested support from the City of Rosemount to recognize the unique needs of the subsidized/affordable housing neighborhoods of Rosemount and the families that lived in the community. Their impassioned request was supported by the Council with their authorization of the director of Park and Recreation Programs to serve as a link to this organization with a request that a full report and recommendations be brought back to the City Council for consideration. Rosemount Activity Program (R.A.P)board members met individually with a number of key city, county and school leaders to formally invite their participation. Rosemount Partnership Program (RPP) was launched and has been meeting monthly for over a year to explore unmet needs, available services and learning programs, and grant possibilities to support the vision of building strong families and strengthening communities. The goal of a permanent, on-site neighborhood center staffed by a coordinator to bring youth and family services - designed to enrich educational, health, cultural and recreational opportunities has been embraced by the collaborating organizations on the following list. Representatives listed have gone on record with the Rosemount Partnership Program (RPP) and the Rosemount City Council as collaborators on this grant to the Minnesota Prevention and Intervention Fund for the purpose of community crime and drug prevention, and high-risk youth violence prevention. When the start-up grant is funded, the collaborators listed are positioned to offer programs and staff on-site.
