RFP for Reno's Community Assistance CenterThis Is Reno
Property appraisals completed in May for downtown Reno’s Community Assistance and Triage Centers (CAC) reveal that repairing the buildings to bring them back into service would cost an estimated $10.1 million—nearly four times the amount previously reported by city staff.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO? SCENARIO

The Facts:
A national gas and electric company informs your agency that they are going to replace
a major gas line that is 75 years old.
The gas line comes from the County property from the south and winds north/south
through your City and connects up with County property on the north.
The new line is bigger and impacts city-maintained streetscapes, wetland Preserves
and a municipal golf course in addition to some roadways.
The gas line standards requires no trees, existing or new, can be within 10’ of the new
line.
Implications:
This means that mature 30 year old trees in the streetscapes and 100 year old Oaks in
the Preserves and in the golf course will have to be removed.
The oaks in the golf course are signature to the golf course and the Oaks in the
Preserve are backdrops to high end homes where people have paid a premium to live
next to the natural area.

Let’s talk about a third
scenario!
Which agencies have had
to re-assign work areas in
the last few years?
19
20. SITUATION SCENARIO –
RE-ASSIGNING WORK AREA RESPONSIBILITIES
THE ISSUE:
TRANSITIONING THE AGENCY-OPERATED COMMUNITY
CENTERS AND SPECIAL EVENTS FROM ONE DEPARTMENT TO
ANOTHER.
20
An agency policy change results in the need for
specialty funded community center operations
and recreation programs to transfer from one
department (Economic Development to another
-- Parks and Recreation) within a very short
amount of time (3 months).
21. SITUATION SCENARIO –
RE-ASSIGNING WORK AREA RESPONSIBILITIES
21
The Goals and Requirements:
Service delivery must not be interrupted
Programming levels must remain in tact to meet
community needs.
The centers currently operate with
1) Contracted service providers,
2) Contracted employees, and
3) Agency staff.
All service and programming contracts must be re-assigned
or renegotiated (50+)
Staff must be transitioned (from county department
to special district).
22. SITUATION SCENARIO –
RE-ASSIGNING WORK AREA RESPONSIBILITIES
22
As the new department responsible for operations
and maintenance of the centers, as well as the
recreation programming, your goal is to assume
responsibility in a seamless manner.
In addition to meeting customer needs, you must
meet elected-official expectations and negotiate
with a department who feels this transition is a
“loss” (they have pride of ownership).
You must also ensure the lights stay on, the grass
is mowed and the “promises” are kept.
23. SITUATION SCENARIO –
RE-ASSIGNING WORK AREA RESPONSIBILITIES
TRANSITIONING THE AGENCY-OPERATED COMMUNITY CENTERS AND
SPECIAL EVENTS FROM ONE DEPARTMENT TO ANOTHER.
Please discuss and

What are some solutions?

24. What if you lose
staff during this
process!

changes?

27. PLEASE DISCUSS AND SHARE IN YOUR CHAT BOX
Please list some
things you could add

that might develop
co-worker
relationships?

Editor's Notes
Speak about political influences, perceptions and expectations.
While both departments work for the same agency (County), Special District is a separate legal entity. All staff must be re-hired, contracts reassigned, etc. Some contracts out of date, etc. Staff different standard than desired.
Expand on political expectations and user group expectations. New information is learned constantly and the timeline is fast approaching. In addition, this change was not reflected in the budget and there is no time to make the adjustment before taking over.
- Bring parks and recreation staff together with EDA staff to determine timeline, action items and responsibilities.
Use information learned to develop a staffing and maintenance plan.
Bring park maintenance and recreation programmers together to develop the transition plan and implementation team. Start with common vision, clear expectations, and right attitude.
KEEP SMILING
Use relationships to gain assistance on “sticky” points, learn the “unspoken” truth, and avoid pitfalls
