Dear Yakima School Board,
6
We want to thank you and your staff for your hospitality inn gcthe recent joint City Council -School
Board meeting. We felt it was a very productive and poSit!S
In reviewing our notes, there were four areas highli t or follow-upio,
oiso
row
1. Continuing the conveirsation around school aafety. and the role the'' akima Police
Department (YP)) pas in that arena: At ibis point in titne, we understand that die
collaboration between the City and the school dIstrictirel ding safety issues is working wethiles
Sgt. Deccio and Lt. le are inikulakcontact wnh„..ntiir'41*Safety Officer Lois Menard andsRoy
will continue that relationship when; Sta4Locke assurtiosirhat role next school year. The rifled
program is functioning well and wc think dte.ric Food w di:Fr,..iends program, getting um ot is

We have noon intpresseds :t a .fililitierS:nOffered by the ESD 105 School Safety Operations

articipaidqq, visirp,i'Db4,9rri°rsoie g w!th .similar Vyhile there is good

would improyg the timelin 'S, '1 CO cati on should there be an extremely serious incident
on a school district campus or;at an off -campus in the vicinity of a school location.
•
If there are other ar ,we can improve communication and coordination, Sgt. Deccio, Lt.
Boyle, Chief Rizzi and e City Manager will certainly make themselves available.
2. Following up on the Safe Routes to School grant process: The attached spreadsheet lists the
schools for which we have recently received Safe Routes to School grants, amounts received and
scheduled construction times. In addition, the spreadsheet also shows other schools in the district
and the expected timeframe to apply for further funding. The Safe Routes to School program
issues a call for proposals every two years and we will continue to work with the district to
ensure that we apply for any and all available funding. We have also included the Safe Routes to
School Student Arrival and Departure Tally Sheet (Survey) that must accompany funding
7
applications. Once collected, this data is valid for applications for a four year period. Our staff
has coordinated primarily with your building principals to prepare applications and obtain the
data from the tally sheets. If there is a different point of contact you would prefer we use, please
let us know.
3. Investigating the possibility of a central clearing -house for information regarding summer,
vacation, before and after school programs so that families could get all that information in
one place: Our staff has followed-up with People For People, which manages the 211 in Yakima
to see if they would be willing to provide this community service. The response from Stacy
Kellogg, People For People Director of Social Services haltiiilicated a definite interest in
providing this service. It will be incumbent on provid across the city to make sure they make
their information available to People For People
but, believe this is a very positive
*`'
development.

4. Continuing the conversation about pusih1c c UthonUions hetwren the school district and
the City regarding after school and uminer programs: From the qtgis perspective, this area
represents perhaps the greatest opportunity°1ithancedrbilaborafion. Ashge will explain, our
efforts do seem to align with thell',7F9pmunity4seCii05i:61.1' 0,61644 discussed the superintendent.
As you may know, the le gislature kan Inc uded $16,in the FY 2019 budget for the City to
create a framework for reducing gang an ri related vithence in the community.
Ett,
Specifically, the rem:item:mkt for using*s flunk plihipe to Stahllsh a comintnty-based

activities. The City Will serve ahlthe "connecne tissue" between non-profit, faith -based

qr:h
In additiorplanothei iL1I ea1 expectatlon of this funding will be to identify and apply for major
Eiepartment Justice gran S. io assist providers in funding on-going programmatic activities. We
feel the school tits :jet is an eisSential partner in this effort and we will be reaching out to the
superintendent aS hegimo4iting applications.
And finally, as you ]no. aur Beyond the Bell program has been very well received and we
would like the opportunity to expand it. The limiting factor has been transportation to the
program locations. We do hope that the district will continue to explore options for providing
additional buses so that this model after-school offering could expand.
Again, thank you for hosting the meeting and for all you do in support of Yakima's youth.
Kind regards,
Yakima City Council
