The grant will allow a focus on the second offense, punishable to 1 year in jail and $1,000 fines. Different to the prior domestic violence court grant, this one will allow the court to have a dedicated Probation Officer specific to these cases and a Court Coordinator. Both those positions will be FT contract positions that the two grant will fund. There will be judicial oversight over these second offenders, and the judge will have a domestic violence mentor court to confer with on best practices, judge training and court staff. Lastly, they noted the grant will allow them to be able to provide support for the victims and continued contact to make sure they feel safe. MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER SPADAFORE TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION FOR THE GRANT ACCEPTANCE FOR THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COURT GRANT. Council Member Dunbar asked about the $2,700 City match.

FUND ALLOCATIONS (Please describe the purpose of the grant and allowable uses): Description: Our proposal consists of two programs: Midnight Basketball and Basketball Leadership Academy. Midnight Basketball will be a 10 week of basketball league for ages 16-24 operating Fridays and Saturdays from 8pm to 1am. The primary objective will be to occupy times of high instances of gun violence with positive activities that accentuates relationships between the youth, police, community outreach members and Lansing faith based members. The Basketball Leadership Academy will be a school year program running one night a week at two community centers, focused on leadership training, using basketball as the conduit. Teens enrolled in High School can attend this program that works on basketball skills and hosts guest speakers focused on leadership, college readiness, civic engagement and more. Why: Using violent crime data for 2018, specifically data related to reports of firearms crimes, Lansing figures show in the summer months our firearm related calls for service are heaviest on Friday and Saturday between the hours of 2200 and 0200. The sample set includes the months of April, May and June. A comparative analysis of the January, February and March (typically colder weather months with earlier onset of darkness) shows a different pattern where firearm violence occurs during the week and occurring earlier in the evening. This leads us to offer summer programming on Friday and Saturday late evenings and school time programming during the week during early evenings.

We plan to have officers stop in and present to the Youth Leadership Academy.

Midnight Basketball will take place in the Schmidt Community Center, which is located near an active area. The Basketball Leadership Academy will take place in both the Schmidt Community Center and the Letts Community Center. Letts Community Center is located near another of those active areas. Measurement: The program pilot will seek to show whether firearm crimes can be reduced by introducing activities at our most common times of violent instances.
