GFI Action •Planninq Update: •
Magallan provided the update as Merryman was absent. Magallan advised that the
committee is entering it's final phase and moving into full action planning. Program and
activity partnerships will be created after the committee decides the direction of the action •
plan. Some programs and partnerships were briefly discussed. Magallan stressed the
importance of measurable goals and objectives for the programs, and that evidence based
programs would be required if Federal funding was used. Magallan also discussed the
• OJJDP Outreach and Intervention Team model, which is a multi- systemic, gang case
management model. This is a strategy, not a program, and would be the clearing house or
go between for programs. This model is not required unless the community is designated as
a OJJDP Gang Model Community. Even though it's not required, the committee discussed
the benefits of forming an Intervention Team. The Intervention Team could identify gaps in
services and help identify partners to fill those gaps.

It was MOVED by Hughes and SECONDED by Beraza to incorporate the Intervention Team
Ask
model into the Comprehensive Gang Model. Motion PASSED unanimously.

The Promise Neighborhoods Grant is being spearheaded by Ready by Five. There should

GFI. Steering Committee members are requested not to ask individually or as members of
other organizations for these grant funds.
Merryman and Martinez are working on a workshop or symposium on how to report a gang
crime. It will be presented to the committee for approval once completed. Beraza advised
the school district is hosting a parent forum on October 13. October 13 was set for the target
date to complete the project.
Committee members can use the Community Profile when asked about the progress of the
GFI.
Magellan stated that discussion at the next meeting would cover the evolution of the Steering
Committee, the guiding principles of the GFI, and policies and procedures to govern future
actions of the Steering Committee.
