Analysis
This ordinance approves an agreement between the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (“MNPD”) and LEAD Cameron to further youth outreach through activities with the Nashville Police Activities League (“Nashville PAL”).
This agreement outlines the coordination of youth outreach and support between MNPD and LEAD Cameron. The program is intended to foster relationships with youth, community stakeholders, police, first responders, and appropriate resources with the goal of mentoring youth to reduce youth victimization and violence; promote youth education to reduce dropout rates and increase student engagement; provide alternate and additional resources for LEAD Cameron to assist with intervention where students are deemed to need additional support where appropriate; and to create programs for youth to promote an active and healthy lifestyle.
MNPD will provide employees and volunteers to chaperone with coaching Nashville PAL athletes; encourage youth involvement in programs and activities; and aid with programs beneficial to both parties. LEAD Cameron will maintain a functioning portion of their facility for use by the Nashville PAL program; allow access to their facility by Nashville PAL employees and volunteers; and allow storage of equipment within the space provided.
The term of this agreement beings upon approval by the parties and the Metropolitan Council and will extend for 60 months. Either party may terminate the agreement by providing at least 30 days prior written notice.
A facility event space rental agreement between LEAD Public Schools and MNPD is also attached to the agreement. There is no cost for MNPD’s use of this space.
