§ 19-493. Stabilization.

(a)

Program goals. It is the goal of the City that active drug markets and drug-related crime be reduced by at least ten percent each quarter of a fiscal year in all neighborhood safety districts until the affected area is no longer designated as a neighborhood safety district. Each plan may set higher goals appropriate for a particular neighborhood safety district as agreed upon by the citizen or citizens submitting the application, other residents of the neighborhood safety district who choose to participate, and the coordinator.

(b)

Measurement of goal achievement. Each plan shall state criteria for the measurement of the success of the program set forth in this article. Such criteria shall be measurable empirically in such a way that progress toward the goals for which Subsection (a) of this section provides may be statistically demonstrated.

(c)

Reporting. The Chief Administrative Officer shall make quarterly reports to the City Council on the status of the program set forth in this article. Such reports shall include a list of all the neighborhood safety district applications received and designations made, the goals for each district, and a chronological statistical measurement of the progress toward each goal.

(d)

Removal of district designation. Three months after the Chief Administrative Officer has submitted a report to the City Council indicating that the program goals have been met and illegal drug activity has been eliminated within a particular neighborhood safety district, the Chief Administrative Officer may remove the designation of that neighborhood safety district as such. Following the removal of the neighborhood safety district designation, the provisions of this article concerning City activity and the plan for such neighborhood safety district shall no longer apply to such area.
