SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
At the February 22 Council Public Safety Committee meeting, there was discussion about
sending a representative to the 7th Annual Gang Prevention and Intervention Conference in Los
Angeles May 7-8, 2018. Committee members agreed Assistant Mayor and Public Safety
Committee Chair, Dulce Gutierrez, should be the representative if Council approves sending
someone to the conference. The estimated cost of the conference, airfare, hotel, meals and car
rental would be approximately $1,000 for one attendee.
The conference is sponsored by Progressive Firm LLC, a group of highly experienced experts
specializing in youth, gang and community violence. Last summer members of the Council
Public Safety Committee participated in a conference call with Progressive Firm LLC
representatives to discuss some of Yakima's challenges.
