It is the policy of the BSCC to protect grant funds from unreasonable risks of fraudulent,
criminal, or other improper use. As such, the Board will not enter into contracts or provide
reimbursement to applicants that have been:
1. debarred by any federal, state, or local government entities during the period of
debarment; or
2. convicted of fraud, theft, or embezzlement of federal, state, or local government
grant funds for a period of three years following conviction.
Furthermore, the BSCC requires grant recipients to provide an assurance that there has
been no applicable debarment, disqualification, suspension, or removal from a federal,
state or local grant program on the part of the grantee at the time of application and that
the grantee will immediately notify the BSCC should such debarment or conviction occur
during the term of the Grant contract.
BSCC also requires that all grant recipients include, as a condition of award to a
subgrantee or subcontractor, a requirement that the subgrantee or subcontractor will
provide the same assurances to the grant recipient. If a grant recipient wishes to consider
a subgrantee or subcontractor that has been debarred or convicted, the grant recipient
must submit a written request for exception to the BSCC along with supporting
documentation.
By checking the following boxes and signina_below, applicant affirms that:
Z I/We are not currently debarred by any federal, state, or local entity from
applying for or receiving federal, state, or local grant funds.
Z INVe have not been convicted of any crime involving theft, fraud, or
embezzlement of federal, state, or local grant funds within the last three years. We
will notify the BSCC should such debarment or conviction occur during the term of
the Grant contract.
Z UWe will hold subgrantees and subcontractors to these same requirements.
A grantee may make a request in writing to the Executive Director of the BSCC for an
exception to the debarment policy. Any determination made by the Executive Director
shall be made in writing.

PROP 64 PH&S GRANT COHORT 2 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
Proposition 64 Public Health & Safety Grant Program
Request for Proposals Document
Proposal Abstract
The Proposal Abstract may not exceed one (1) page.
The City of Fresno is requesting $1,958,057 in Proposition 64 funds for a Public Health
and Safety grant from the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC). The City
of Fresno, City of Mendota, Fresno Economic Opportunities Commission (Fresno EOC)
and the Boys and Girls Club of Fresno County have partnered on this proposal to first
and foremost address Project Purpose Area 1: Youth Development/Youth Prevention and
Intervention. The need is great among our youth, who will greatly benefit from both youth
development activities designed to help them build competencies to become successful
adults and youth prevention/intervention activities designed to prevent youth substance
use and addiction and promote healthy behaviors and environments. Fresno EOC will
provide youth job training/internships, hire a clinical psychologist and two substance
abuse counselors, and conduct youth outreach in the City of Mendota. The Boys & Girls
Club will provide a range of curriculums to youth focused on drug and gang prevention,
personal choices and development, and academic support. At the same time, the City of
Fresno and the City of Mendota are dedicated to Project Purpose Area 3: Public Safety
so that they may address the safety concerns of cannabis more broadly. The City of
Fresno will fund a Community Services Officer to help build trust in the community and be
a liaison between cannabis retailers and the City Council. The City of Mendota will also
fund a Community Services Officer who will conduct public outreach and education
events. The capacities of the City of Fresno and City of Mendota will be expanded to
meet the challenges associated with cannabis legalization while improving community
relations and trust with law enforcement.
The City of Fresno's proposal will allow for the development of a comprehensive
approach to address the impacts of cannabis legalization in our communities through
coordinated efforts. Across all activities included in this proposal, a total of 4,165
individuals will be served, with our primary focus being on youth under the age of 21.

Proposal Narrative
The Proposal Narrative section may not exceed eight (8) pages in totality. See pages 19-
20 for corresponding Rating Factors and Criteria.
1. Project Need (Percent of Total Value. 25%)
Fresno County lies in the geographic and agricultural heart of California and home to over
999,000 residents. The Cities of Fresno and Mendota are located within Fresno County.
Fresno County faces significant challenges that threaten the economic vitality and quality
of life for its residents. Among the challenges the City of Fresno's Prop 64 project would
address in partnership with the City of Mendota are high rates of marijuana use among
youth under the age of 21. According to the California Department of Health Services
treatment admission data, marijuana is the number one drug for admission averaging 1,445
admissions per year between 2013-14 and 2016-17(1). In Fresno County, according to the
2019 Fresno County Student Insight Survey, marijuana was the primary drug of choice for
youth ages 12-17; with 82% indicating marijuana was their primary drug of choice in the
Fresno metropolitan area and 67% indicating the same in the western part of the County
where Mendota is located. These statistics are alarming because youths' brains are still
developing, and marijuana use in this age range can lead to declines in school
performance, increased risk for mental health issues, impaired driving, and potential for
addiction(2) According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, "of adults 26 or older
who used marijuana before age 15, 62% went on to use cocaine at some point in their
lives; 9% went on to use heroin at least once; and 54% made some nonmedical use of
mind -altering prescription drugs. Fresno County youth experience high rates of Substance
Use Disorders (SUDs), and was identified as one of the top five counties with the highest
proportion of youth admitted into Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) monitored
SLID treatment facilitie.(3) In 2017-2018, Fresno County had nearly 3,000 youth under 26,
with over half being between the ages of 12-17, admitted for SUD services(4). Of concern
not only for youth, but also for the general public, is the increasing potency of cannabis
products. A study published in the National Centerfor Biotechnology Information found that
marijuana products seized by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration found the potency
increased from about 4% THC in 1995 to about 12% in 2014. By 2017, another study
published by the Center showed that the potency had gone up to 17%, which is a 300%
PROP 64 PH&S GRANT COHORT 2 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS Page 1 of 8
increase from 1995. This is particularly dangerous for youth, but can also lead to negative
effects in adults who are not consuming responsibly, including anxiety and paranoia.
Additionally, a study published by the Journal of Drug Issues found that the proportion of
marijuana users who smoke daily has rapidly grown, and that many of those frequent users
are poor and lack a high-school diploma. The 2017 U.S. Census data indicates more than
a third (36.5%) of all youth in Fresno County are living in poverty, 14% of adults 25 years
and older have less than a 9th grade education, nearly three times more than the U.S. rate
of 5%. In the rural community of Mendota located 45 minutes from Fresno, 62% of children
live in poverty, 52% of those 25 years and older living in Mendota have less than a 9th
grade education and 35% of 18- to 24-year-olds do not have a high school degree.
As a result, the City of Fresno, in partnership with the City of Mendota, has chosen to
collaborate with Fresno Economic Opportunities Commission (Fresno EOC) and the Boys
and Girls Club to first and foremost address PPA 1: Youth Development/Youth Prevention
and Intervention. As evidenced by the above data, the need is great among our youth, who
would greatly benefit from both youth development activities designed to help them build
competencies to become successful adults and youth prevention/intervention activities
designed to prevent youth substance use and addiction and promote healthy behaviors
and environments. At the same time, the City of Fresno and the City of Mendota are
prioritizing PPA 3: Public Safety so that they may address the aforementioned impacts of
cannabis more broadly. Currently, there are a handful of general substance use
prevention/intervention programs at the school -level, but the cities of Fresno and Mendota
lack a coordinated, comprehensive approach to address public health and safety needs
associated with the implementation of the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of
Marijuana Act (AUMA). Therefore, a Prop 64 grant would help our project have significant
impact on the above challenges our cities are experiencing
1. Project Description (Percent of i otal Value: 60%)
PPA 1 Youth Development/Youth Prevention and Intervention: The City of Mendota will
conduct twelve meetings and six events annually for youth. These events will consist of
healthy opportunities for youth to gain positive experiences and cultivate supportive social
connections. Events may consist of volunteer opportunities, community walk-a-thons,
freestyle painting events, karaoke nights at a local business, and socializing opportunities
PROP 64 PH&S GRANT COHORT 2 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS Page 2 of 8
between youth and local senior citizens. These activities and services will provide much
needed attention to local youth to prevent and divert them from drug use. The Mendota
Police Department (MPD) and Mendota Unified School District have fostered a great
working relationship over the last three years. Three MPD School Resources Officers
monitor five campuses. This partnership has created a trusting connection among parents,
students, and school officials. With this partnership and grant funding from Proposition 64,
the City of Mendota will enhance existing services that will flow to where the needs are in
the community outside of school grounds. Fresno EOC will use a portion of allocated grant
funds for 30 spots in its Training & Employment (T&E) youth job training/internship program
during the three-year grant term. T&E's workforce program targets high school graduates
and out -of -school youth and provides them with paid work -based training, career
mentoring, and educational support. Participants meet with job coaches to create training
plans based on their career goals, and complete soft skills training for job readiness,
resume and interview skills, and financial literacy. Many also take courses to improve
workplace collaboration like Conflict Resolution and Anger Management. They receive job
placements based on interest and ability, via a network of local employers like tech startups
and the Chamber of Commerce. After interning for 150 hours, T&E seeks feedback from
interns regarding their experiences, skills they learned, and ways to improve their training.
Upon graduating from the internship, T&E provides follow-up services like support groups,
resume updating, job application assistance, and interview preparation for a year or more
to increase the likelihood of permanent job placement and retention. Fresno EOC will
recruit and hire a clinical psychologist to provide therapy for youth referrals. Fresno EOC
will also recruit and hire two substance abuse counselors dedicated to working with youth
referrals from all partners in this project. The psychologist and substance abuse counselors
will use trauma -informed, culturally relevant, developmentally appropriate methodologies.
Fresno EOC's Community Outreach Specialists will conduct monthly youth -focused
activities in Mendota including but not limited to peer support groups, drug -alternative
social events, LGBTQ+ friendly safe spaces, and more. The Boys & Girls Club of Fresno
County will implement youth prevention programs that increase resistance skills and teach
participants to problem -solve in risky situations. With these grant funds the Boys & Girls
Club will offer five programs for 225 youth, ages 10-18. The programs are: The Phoenix
Curriculum is an evidence -based curriculum that provides prevention and intense
PROP 64 PH&S GRANT COHORT 2 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS Page 3 of 8
intervention components geared to young audiences utilizing five core age appropriate
activities and elements: What's Important to You?, Understanding Your Feelings, Problem
Solving, Risk Factors, and Protective Factors; Street SMART is an evidence -based gang
and violence prevention program developed by Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) that
offers expanded lessons in drug prevention and an emphasis on resiliency training. It is
designed to build on protective factors, developing the key competencies youth need.
Competencies developed include: Personal values and skills, Interpersonal skills, and
positive sense of self; Career Launch is a proven job and career education program
developed by BGCA and provides a broad range of tools and activities for staff to guide
teens in exploring a variety of careers, making sound educational decisions, and preparing
for the world of work. This motivates youth to stay out of gangs, explore a career, and
obtain successful employment; Junior Staff — Work Experience provides teen members
with age -appropriate skill -building opportunities with hands-on Club work experience in
four areas: Career development, apprenticeship, customer service, and community
service. Junior staff will receive work stipends in this grant; and Power Hour is a homework
help and tutoring program. The goal is to increase academic success to better prepare
youth to enter college and the workforce with the skills needed to compete globally. Power
Hour is designed to prevent youth who are already facing skill deficits from falling further
behind with today's increased learning pace. PPA 3 Public Safety: The City of Fresno
Police Department (FPD) will hire a Community Services Officer (CSO) to be the liaison
among Fresno City Council, licensed retail cannabis businesses, residents and FPD
Problem Oriented Policing Officers and School Resource Officers. The CSO will participate
and lead neighborhood watch meetings in those districts requesting education on the
impacts of the legalization of cannabis, perform community outreach at the various schools,
and other duties as assigned. The City will also budget for overtime for the officers who are
required to conduct enforcement and inspections on businesses not in compliance or those
businesses who are operating on the black market. The City of Mendota intends to address
the illegal market and ensure local cannabis retail businesses are in compliance with local
and state laws. The City of Mendota plans to conduct public outreach education events.
By adding the Community Services Officer (CSO) and a K-9, Mendota will be able to build
relationships and trust with the community, monitor cannabis activity that may negatively
impact the community if not aware of consequences for abuse and violations of the law.
PROP 64 PH&S GRANT COHORT 2 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS Page 4 of 8
Target Area: The target areas for this grant are the cities of Fresno and Mendota, which
have legalized and regulated the cultivation and sale of recreational cannabis. 25.2%(5) of
Fresno's population lives below the federal poverty line and the city second in the nation
for concentrated poverty —the percentage of low-income individuals living in poor
neighborhoods —with a concentrated poverty rate of 42.2%(6). Fresno's high poverty areas
include central, southwest, and southeast. With a population of more than 97,000, these
communities' challenges include not only high levels of poverty but also high levels of
unemployment, gang violence, and poor health outcomes that exceed statewide averages.
The City of Mendota has 40.9% of its population living below the federal poverty level(5).
With limited revenue resources, the City is unable to enhance the general fund and allow
the expansion of City human resources for the Police Department, so all departments are
operating with minimal staff. Mendota is in need of additional funding to address needed
resources to efficiently serve the community. Individuals Served: A minimum of 4,165
individuals will be served over the three-year project performance period. Fresno PD plans
to serve 740 individuals, City of Mendota anticipates serving 2,520, Fresno EOC will serve
680 and the Boys and Girls Club will offer services to 225 youth ages 10-18 through their
activities under this grant. The Boys & Girls Club locations in both Fresno and Mendota
attract youth from low-income communities with significant needs. Approximately 60% of
the Mendota Club's daily members reside in public housing, and Mendota also has a crime
rate that is higher than 68% of the state's cities and towns of all sizes. The MS-13 gang
committed 14 brutal murders in and around Mendota from 2015 to 2017, and it is estimated
that gangs are responsible for a significant portion of the robbery, burglaries, auto theft,
and drug activity. The Boys & Girls Club is the only safe place in the neighborhood where
kids can go after school and in the evenings, and the staff has become the point of contact
for the Fresno County Sheriff's Department and the Housing Authority when addressing
these issues. The City of Fresno, which in 2020 alone saw four homicides related to black
market activity and illegal dispensaries, has a need for greater community involvement and
relationship -building to assist with regulating the legal cultivation and sale of cannabis. The
CSO will be the eyes and ears of the police department in the community and act as a
"catchall" for some of the issues related to marijuana legalization. Existing Resources to
be Utilized: The activities proposed will build upon on the existing operations and resources
of each partner. Fresno Police Department employs over 700 officers, 300 of which are on
PROP 64 PH&S GRANT COHORT 2 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS Page 5 of 8
patrol throughout Fresno's five policing districts. The department will handle enforcement
issues and criminal activity that CSO will not be equipped to handle. Mendota Police
Department currently has fifteen total officers on staff who will enhance the services to be
provided under this grant. Fresno EOC operates over 30 programs across 15 service areas
that serve more than 100,000 people annually, providing a comprehensive array of
services that fight poverty and its root causes for all ages. Fresno EOC will use part of its
portion of grant funds to expand its existing Employment and Training internship program
to provide opportunities for more youth to gain work experience. The Boys & Girls Club
will expand its existing programs to serve more youth through this project with curriculums
focusing on drug use prevention, tutoring and academic success, and personal
development. Applicant and Partner Capacity: This project will represent a collaborative
effort between the City of Fresno, the City of Mendota, Fresno EOC and The Boys & Girls
Club of Fresno County. The Fresno Police Department will act as the Fiscal Agent, and
has a 100% successful compliance rate. The Grants Management Unit (GMU), under the
Administrative Division is managed by the Grants Manager and Management Analyst II.
They are responsible for oversight of all department grant related activities, and understand
fiduciary responsibilities associated with federal grant funds. The GMU has participated in
several audits over the years to demonstrate transparency and accountability for those
funds. The GMU will conduct annual, in -person Site Monitoring Visits for all of the funded
community -based organizations to ensure compliance with the program objectives and
grant guidelines. The FPD Police Captain, Mindy Castro, will have direct oversight over
sub grantees and lead the community and services elements in the project. She has
worked for various units within the department for over 23 years including investigations,
internal affairs, policy and procedures and most recently on the committee that worked on
the cannabis municipal code revisions. She will also be responsible for all program related
performance measures and data input for quarterly progress reporting. Kevin Smith, Chief
of Police for the Mendota Police Department, has over 40 years of experience in law
enforcement and 8 years as a Narcotics Investigator for the Fresno County Sherriff
Department. With his background, he will lead the department and Community Services
Officer to address the illegal market, increase public education and strength community
relations to ensure public safety. Fresno EOC has a proven track record of providing
vocational training and placement to a diverse population with a wide range of backgrounds
PROP 64 PH&S GRANT COHORT 2 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS Page 6 of 8
and barriers to employment. In particular, the agency has decades of experience serving
youth who are impacted by the youth justice system, gang activity, and/or drug use. This
project will draw on the experience and capacity of Fresno EOC programs such as Training
and Employment Services, which provides job experience and job search assistance.
Fresno EOC also has a robust internal referral network that allows clients to access any of
the agency's 30+ programs depending on their need, from healthcare services, to housing
assistance, to education, to food and nutrition, to utilities assistance. In addition, Fresno
EOC maintains over 600 active external partnerships including Fresno Madera Continuum
of Care, Central California Legal Services Inc., Centro La Familia, and Fresno Unified
School District. If participants require services beyond the scope of the agency's programs,
Fresno EOC staff are equipped to make appropriate the referrals. Fresno EOC has the
capacity to recruit and hire the clinical psychologist and substance abuse counselors
through the expertise of its Human Resources Department. The department has 12 staff
from diverse backgrounds, including a Recruitment Coordinator and Recruiter, who are
well -trained and experienced in finding qualified candidates for an agency with nearly 1,200
employees. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Fresno County (BGCFC) has a 72-year history of
implementing excellent youth development services in Fresno County. They operate 15
Boys & Girls Clubs serving over 5,000 youth (6-18 years) and their families, and have the
experience and professional staff to provide the designated outcomes required. Grant
funders in the past have included OJJDP, USDA, CDBG funds and local foundations and
corporate funds that require documentation and reports that validate outcomes. At the
conclusion of this grant performance period, all project partners will seek additional funding
opportunities either through general fund, fundraising, and donations to ensure the future
of the worthwhile activities under this project.
3. Project E-valuation (Percent of Total Value: IS%)
Upon notice of an award, the City of Fresno will contract with an evaluation team
consisting of Fresno State Criminology Professors and graduate student assistants. In a
process evaluation, both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies will be
employed as part of a data triangulation strategy, while quantitative data analysis with
statistical models will be emphasized in outcome evaluations to assess the impact of
each program component. The methodology of the process evaluation of each program
PROP 64 PH&S GRANT COHORT 2 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS Page 7 of 8
will be designed to ensure the program is implemented according to its original plan and
serves the needs of the community and target populations. To monitor the progress of
program implementations while easing the burden of administrative data collection, web -
based surveys with automatic e-mail reminders to program managers will be utilized. This
system supports both efficient data collection in a standardized format and timely
descriptive analysis of program characteristics in the process evaluation. Furthermore,
qualitative research methods of field observations and interviews of participants and
program managers will become a means to uncover unexpected barriers and obstacles
to program implementation; adjustments in program management will be recommended
through quarterly reports and meetings. The methodology of the outcome evaluation that
determines each project component's success and failure includes statistical models and
innovative research designs that thoroughly and properly evaluate the impact of each
program component. While the gold standard of program evaluation dictates the use of
randomized experiments to conclusively infer the causal effect of intervention programs,
randomized experiments are not immune from challenge, most notably an ethical issue of
denying the opportunity to participate in programs for the sake of scientific studies. To
overcome this limitation but maintain a high scientific standard of program evaluation,
CSUF will employ a propensity score matching technique that allows the analysis of the
treatment group and control group with comparable characteristics without running a
randomized experiment. This allows rigorous examination of the program outcomes
without compromising ethical resource principles. The propensity score analysis is an
innovative but proven evaluation methodology; which was applied to evaluations of gang
interventions including G.R.E.A.T. and Operation Ceasefire in Boston. When conducting
propensity score analysis, CSUF will take advantage of existing program surveystintakes
previously conducted re -analyze and compare with the participants of the proposed
program. The results of both process and outcome evaluations will be thoroughly
documented in quarterly and Final Local Evaluation Reports. Detailed descriptions of
programs will be provided as part of the process evaluation which allows critical
assessment and replication of the approach in different settings.
