BACKGROUND

 

The purpose of National Night Out (NNO) is to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime programs; strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.  NNO has proven to be an effective, inexpensive and enjoyable program to promote neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships in the fight for a safer community.  The funds provided from this Target� grant will cover the cost of block party promotional items.

 

FISCAL IMPACT

 

Accepting the grant funds amends the city�s budget by increasing Fund 001�s revenue estimate by $2,000 in account 001-PD000-45000-1002.  In addition, this staff report will appropriate $2,000 in funding to 001-PD03B-62300.

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

Staff recommends that the City Council approve a resolution of the City of Burbank authorizing the City Manager to accept a grant from Target for the 24th annual National Night Out and amend the Fiscal Year 2007-08 budget by appropriating funds.
