RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO MAKE
APPLICATION TO THE TEXAS COMMISSION ON ALCOHOL AND
DRUG ABUSE FOR CONTINUATION AND EXPANSION OF THE
D.A.R.E. PROGRAM
WHEREAS, The Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse
makes funding available through grants to cities for
D.A.R.E. programs in the schools. Currently the city of
Wichita Falls is receiving grant funds from the state to
provide one DARE officer in the school. However, this is
the final year of that Grant which will end in September
1994 . The city is also funding an additional DARE officer
on its own for a total of two officers assigned to the DARE
program.
WHEREAS, this new grant proposal attempts to broaden
the scope of the DARE program by extending it into the
Seventh grade as well as the Fifth grade. It will include
counseling, specialized services, and provides for some
summer programs to be implemented. It would provide
complete funding for three DARE officers, counselors, some
teacher time, part-time secretarial help, and necessary
supplies. This grant request asks for federal funds in the
amount of $402, 796 and provides for $100, 000 in matching
funds which will be provided by the school district and
donations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS:
WHEREAS, if the grant is approved a subcontract with
the Wichita Falls Independent School system will be required
prior to implementation of this proposed program. Also, if
the grant is approved a new resolution will be drawn to
obtain counsel approval to accept these funds and implement
the program.
PASSED AND APPROVED this the 16th da 4f March — 4.
