Watts Neighborhood Council
RESOLUTION
Recent violent activities has prompted the Watts Neighborhood Council to respond to its community’s outcry of no more killings and violence in its community.
The violent deaths of its young residents and older residents resulting from the recent rash of shootings have resulted in the community calling for an end to the violence.
The Watts Neighborhood Council has committed itself to take a more pro-active part in helping to end violence in its community. lt is also reaching out to other communities to commit them to stamping out violent activities in their communities.
Whereas the community of Watts is establishing a community action force to address the adverse negative behaviors and address the many problems in which its community is faced.
The Watts Neighborhood Council has resolved to collaborate with community based organizations and city programs that address aggressive training in high school proficiency, it has resolved to establish a skill bank for job training and placement, and programs that address the
reintegration of men and women retuning from penal incarceration back into the Watts Community.
The Watts Neighborhood Council is requesting that city government provide funding to organizations that provide programming in gang intervention, transitional housing, child care programs for working mothers, food programs and other programs that provide direct services to the indigent population of its community. It is also requesting the neighborhood council being given oversight of the funding to insure that those organizations be held more accountable and provide program outcomes through a tracking system so that the neighborhood council and the community can be made aware of who is providing what services and the success of their programs.
The Watts Neighborhood Council is requesting that it have a more active advisory role in helping government agencies to identify programs that have demonstrated success in the programs for which they are funded.
Whereas the Watts Neighborhood Council further resolves to establish a community based coalition that will be proactive in working to provide safe passage for community residents.
