<br /> <br /> Page Two: <br /> a City curfew be set up for everyone under the age of 17, <br /> (with juvenile crime, we have come to believe that the <br /> majority are committed after 11:00 p.m. In response to <br /> this, the Commission is submitting two curfew plans <br /> along with support data compiled by Justice of the Peace <br /> Macel Sullivan. <br /> *SEE ATTACHMENT C <br />4. TREATMENT FACILITY <br /> The Commission thinks there are two key reasons this <br /> program should be supported. <br /> a. Currently, there are no treatment programs for <br /> addicted adolescents in San Marcos or Hays County. <br /> We provide prevention and early intervention; but <br /> do not operate a treatment program. Partnership for <br /> a Drug Free San Marcos is prevention oriented and <br /> is not funded to provide direct services. Kids who <br /> need in-patient or out-patient chemical dependency <br /> treatment are being sent to Austin, San Antonio and <br /> other sites away from the community. <br /> b. Many families do not have the insurance or monetary <br /> resources to pay for chemical dependency treatment. <br /> The proposed program will not turn anyone away. <br /> The Commission recommends that the Council strongly <br /> support this endeavor and coordinate support systems with <br /> P.D.A.P. staff. San Marcos definitely needs this. <br />5. D-FY-IT <br /> The Commission recommends that the Council look into one <br /> of the programs created to curb drug use among teenagers. <br /> D-FY-IT is based on rewards, not punishment. It is a <br /> program administered by and for students with the <br /> guidance of adult advisors. <br /> We recommend that the program be set up and ready to go <br /> for the new school year and that we start in Lamar Middle <br /> School. We also recommend that the Hays Co. Drug Task <br /> Force provide drug forfeiture funds to pay for the drug <br /> screening costs of the D-FY-IT programs. <br />Police Department. 401 East Hopkins.
