For Meeting of: March 1, 2016 ITEM TITLE: Resolution authorizing a Professional Services Agreement with People for People to perform assessment and case management services for City of Yakima Community Diversion Program SUBMITTED BY: Cynthia Martinez, Senior Assistant City Attorney SUMMARY EXPLANATION: In late 2014, the City of Yakima began exploring the idea of implementing a Community Court. Community Court utilizes a collaborative, problem solving approach to crime designed to address recurring low level crime that is of concern to the community. Through partnerships with numerous government, community and faith -based organizations, the Community Court Model endeavors to hold defendants accountable, address factors impacting defendants' criminal behavior, improve the quality of life in the neighborhood, address victim needs and increase public confidence in the local criminal justice system. Community Court is part of a growing movement to address the root cause of so called quality of life crimes that are committed by chronic offenders. In December of 2014, the City of Yakima entered into an agreement with the Center for Court Innovations, an organization based in New York that receives DOJ grant funding to help jurisdictions across the country explore alternative court models, to obtain their help and expertise in exploring the Community Court concept. The exploration effort lead to a community survey, focus groups and individual stakeholder interviews. The process revealed that the community supported the implementation of a Community Court and there was a population that would benefit from a Community Court. Several Community Court models with budgets were considered by the City Manager, including a Community Diversion Program. The Yakima City Council voted to fund a Community Diversion Program to be implemented in 2016. The Community Diversion Program has the same goals as Community Court but is run by the Prosecution Division, as opposed to the Court. The soft opening of Community Diversion Program is scheduled for the first week in April and will be held at The Seasons Performance Hall. People for People, a local non - profit, skilled in assessing, motivating, and supporting individuals navigate obstacles to work, will be providing the assessment and case management services for the program. The attached Community Diversion Program Implementation Professional Services Agreement between the City of Yakima and People for People will formalize People for People's role in the Program. The contract amount is prorated to account for the implementation date.
