As indicated in the Action Plan, the Firearm Policy recommendations “were crafted with the intention of reducing violence, not changing the fundamental
availability of firearms for most citizens”(page 68, 1998 Violence Prevention Action Plan. 10/27/98). To further clarify this intention, A further definition of
firearm violence is offered:
Gun violence is a critical law enforcement, medical, public health and community issue that includes all forms of violence resulting from the use of firearms
Gun violence includes intentional injuries and death, psychological and emotional harm, and the damage to property and economic well-being that result
from the deliberate misuse of firearms
Gun violence also includes unintentional injuries and deaths, and the psychological, emotional, and economic harm that could have been prevented with
reasonable and prudent care.
In accord with this definition, gun violence does NOT include the safe, lawful use of firearms for organized shooting sports, hunting or target practice, law

Review of Board Modified Violence Prevention Action Plan
Recommendations
At the April 6, 1999 Board meeting the Violence Prevention(VP)Action Plan Expenditure
Plan was approved and $350,000 in funding was released for implementation of Action Plan
recommendations. At that time. Supervisor Simitian requested that a summary be provided
of all Board approved VP Action Plan recommendations.
As you are aware, the process of review, modification, and approval of the VPC Action Plan
has been long and complicated involving four Board Hearings over a period of five months.
In the attached draft, we have intended to capture all of the input and direction that has
been given by each Board Office in the BOS hearings. We are requesting your help in
reviewing the attached draft matrix of the Board modified Violence Prevention Action
Plan recommendations.
1 am asking that you get any feedback you have to us by Wednesday, June 30. lam planning
to bring the modified matrix ofrecommendations back to the Board for their approval in the
month of August.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I can be reached at(408) 8854202, or you can contact Andrea Villasenor-Perry at(408) 885-4605.
Thank you for your ongoing support of our violence prevention efforts.

Recommendations*
Evaluation Plan
As indicated in the Action Plan, the Firearm Policy recommendations “were crafted with the intention of reducing violence, not changing the fundamental
availability of firearms for most citizens”(page 68, 1998 Violence Prevention Action Plan. 10/27/98). To further clarify this intention, A further definition of
firearm violence is offered:
Gun violence is a critical law enforcement, medical, public health and community issue that includes all forms of violence resulting from the use of firearms
Gun violence includes intentional injuries and death, psychological and emotional harm, and the damage to property and economic well-being that result
from the deliberate misuse of firearms
Gun violence also includes unintentional injuries and deaths, and the psychological, emotional, and economic harm that could have been prevented with
reasonable and prudent care.
In accord with this definition, gun violence does NOT include the safe, lawful use of firearms for organized shooting sports, hunting or target practice, law
enforcement, and self defense.

Review of Board Modified Violence Prevention Action Plan
Recommendations
At the April 6, 1999 Board meeting the Violence Prevention(VP)Action Plan Expenditure
Plan was approved and $350,000 in funding was released for implementation of Action Plan
recommendations. At that time. Supervisor Simitian requested that a summary be provided
of all Board approved VP Action Plan recommendations.
As you are aware, the process of review, modification, and approval of the VPC Action Plan
has been long and complicated involving four Board Hearings over a period of five months.
In the attached draft, we have intended to capture all of the input and direction that has
been given by each Board Office in the BOS hearings. We are requesting your help in
reviewing the attached draft matrix of the Board modified Violence Prevention Action
Plan recommendations.
1 am asking that you get any feedback you have to us by Wednesday, June 30. lam planning
to bring the modified matrix ofrecommendations back to the Board for their approval in the
month of August.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I can be reached at(408) 8854202, or you can contact Andrea Villasenor-Perry at(408) 885-4605.
Thank you for your ongoing support of our violence prevention efforts.
