The Orlando City Council approved project site agreements that support the After School All Stars program in partnership with Orange County Public Schools, an after‑school youth development program council members described as providing resources and structured activities for children.
Council members from multiple districts praised the program during their district reports. Commissioner Bacardi Burns expressed support for the agreements on the agenda and thanked OCPS for the continued partnership. Commissioner John Gray said the program “provides a lot of resources and outlets for our children, after school.” Commissioner Tony Ortiz credited youth programs such as After School All Stars and Kids Zone with contributing to reductions in local crime statistics in his district, a claim he attributed to his liaison’s analysis of burglary and vehicle-burglary trends.
The item appeared on the consent agenda and was approved as part of that package (motion by Commissioner Ortiz; second by Commissioner Stewart). The item was identified in remarks as 3B14; the council did not take separate roll-call on that single item during the meeting.
The transcript does not specify a dollar amount for the project site agreements in the on‑record remarks; for funding and contract specifics, the city clerk’s agenda packet should be consulted. Council members said they view the program as a core youth-services partnership between the city and the school district and urged residents to learn more through city channels.
