Attachment A City Council Information

April 10, 2018

State Update

April 10, 2018, is the 93rd day of the Second Regular Session of the 53rd Legislature. The information provided in this report regarding status of legislation is current as of April 4, 2018. To date, 1,283 bills have been introduced and staff continues to review these measures to identify potential impacts.

The following bills have been opposed by the City (no action is required): 

HB 2153: Campaign Finance; Nonprofits; Disclosure (Rep. Vince Leach; Tucson) prohibits filing or enforcement officers from requiring any charitable organization organized under section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code to register or report or disclose any information about the source of its contribution receipts. The legislation also prohibits cities or towns from adopting any laws that would require non-profit organizations to register as a committee and report. HB 2153 passed Senate on March 29, 2018, by a vote of 17-13 and was transmitted to the Governor on April 2, 2018.

HB 2126: Government Property; Abatement; Slum; Blight (Rep. Vince Leach; Tucson) initially terminated redevelopment areas after 10 years and redefined slum and blight for the purposes of approving a government property lease excise tax project. After working with the bill sponsor, the measure was amended to satisfy the City’s concerns. The legislation now reduces the area of the Central Business District (CBD) from five percent to two and one-half percent of the City’s total land area, requires that the CBD must be geographically compact, and the City would have two years to renew the downtown slum declaration. Given these changes staff has withdrawn the City’s opposition. HB 2126 was approved in the Senate Committee of the Whole on March 26, 2018, and now awaits Senate Third Read action.

SB 1387: Real Property; Conveyance; Disclosure (S/E: Home Based Businesses) (Rep. Gail Griffin; Hereford) allows a business to open in a residentially zoned home. Staff believes this bill will likely have negative impacts on neighborhoods since the definitions and requirements for the business in the bill are too broad. The bill also prohibits the City from licensing home based businesses or imposing regulations that are typically imposed to ensure public safety and compatibility with a residentially zoned area. This measure is similar to a previous bill (HB 2333) that failed in the Senate. SB 1387 was approved by the House Rules Committee on March 2, 2018, and now awaits action in the House Committee of the Whole.

Opportunity for Youth Reengagement Centers Update

This report provides information to the Mayor and Council on the Opportunity for YouthReengagement Centers Initiative.

THIS ITEM IS FOR INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION.

SummaryThe 2012 Measure of America Report indicated among the 25 largest metropolitanareas in the United States, the Phoenix metro area had the highest rate (19 percent) ofOpportunity Youth (OY) between the ages of 16-24 years old who were neither workingnor in school. An estimated 1 in 5 youth were disconnected from employment andeducational institutions in 2012, representing approximately 92,000 OY. In response tothis alarming rate, Maricopa County Education Service Agency (MCESA) created theOpportunity for Youth (OFY) Leadership Council and collaborative network of youth-serving provider organizations, higher education professionals, K-12 educationprofessionals, government, philanthropic funders and businesses focused on reducingthe high incidence of Opportunity Youth.

In 2015, these high rates of OY contributed to the selection of Phoenix as one of sixnational 100,000 (100K) Opportunities Initiative Demonstration Cities. The 100KOpportunities Initiative, comprised of a coalition of national companies, aimed to bridgethe opportunity divide for the 4.9 million young Americans across the country byforging connections between employers and the employees they need.

In 2017, OFY transitioned from the Maricopa County Education Service Agency(MCESA) to the ASU College of Public Service and Community Solutions, with theASU Center for Human Capital and Youth Development, becoming the neworganization for OFY. OFY provides an array of backbone support services toLeadership Council organizations and Reengagement Centers. Collectively, OFY aimsto engage and retain OY across Maricopa County in educational and employmentprogramming, support services, secondary and post-secondary education, andemployment. To date, OFY has secured investments from various foundations (e.g.,The Aspen Institute, Silicon Valley Community Foundation, Arizona CommunityFoundation, Opportunity Youth United, and the National Youth Alliance of Boys and

Page 10

Men of Color) and the Department of Education to develop educational and careerpathway programs.

The Opportunity for Youth initiative has four action teams through which it directlyserves youth, engages educational institutions and employers, and facilitates policyadvocacy on behalf of OY. These action teams consist of Reengagement Centers,Educational Momentum, Career Connections, and Positive Youth Development. TheYouth and Education Office assisted in the development of the Reengagement Centernetwork, data alignment, and Quality Standards.

To continue to reduce the number of OY, Phoenix launched the first reengagementcenter to formalize an assessment and referral process for OY to access localeducational services in 2014. ReEngage Phoenix and Career Online High School(COHS) are programs within College Depot. ReEngage Phoenix connects people whodid not graduate from high school with the opportunity to earn their diploma orequivalent and continue to post-secondary education. ReEngage Phoenix customersare provided with a customized education plan, access to an education providerdatabase, and referrals to educational programs best suited for their success. Theprogram also offers ongoing follow up, support and encouragement to ensureacademic success.

In October 2016, Opportunities for Youth, the City of Phoenix, National League ofCities, and local partners officially announced the Reengagement Center QualityStandards created by local education leaders to help organizations effectivelyreengage disconnected youth. These centers, co-located within existing nonprofits andgovernment agencies, have agreed to adopt the innovative quality standards that willhelp promote consistent, effective service delivery throughout agencies and create astrong referral network of providers.

In January 2017, OFY launched 12 reengagement centers including ReEngagePhoenix. The centers agreed to annually complete the Quality Standards self-assessment, engage 50 new unduplicated youth per month, report results quarterly,participate in the development of a referral process, participate in professionaldevelopment, and pursue additional grant funded opportunities collectively.

Organizations that joined this effort benefit by:· Accessing a network of agencies that can be leveraged for support and capacity

building.· Accessing aggregate level data to use for grant writing and data driven decisions.

· Participating in a learning community of local and national partners.

Agenda Date: 4/10/2018, Item No. 2

· Receiving the support of a collective network to leverage when seeking funding.

· Accessing a national network of reengagement centers.

· Impacting opportunity youth at a macro and system level.

Reengagement Centers are the gateway for youth opportunity to experience a positivejourney to success that empowers them to positively develop themselves with respectto education, career, social, psychological, and physical outcomes as well asincreased self-esteem that enable them to have a successful life. The standardsensure every youth has the skills needed to complete education and continue tosucceed in career and self-efficiency. The framework sets the foundation ofknowledge and skills needed to successfully support OY in meeting their long-termsuccess.

In 2018, Measure of America released a new report that ranked the metro Phoenixarea as 15th in the nation for OY at 13.6 percent. The report highlighted theOpportunities for Youth initiative for developing a “collective vision and broad-basedcommitment to a concrete goal to reduce disconnection as well as partners who havebuilt a comprehensive, cross-sectoral coalition to turn around their 2012 bottom-placemetro area youth disconnection ranking.”
