At a Glance provides a brief overview and summary of the F8 report as follows:

Total offenses were down by 285 offenses (21.12%) in 2012 compared with 2011 and down by 77 offenses when compared with 2010. The major cause of the decrease between 2012 and 2011 is attributed to a decline of 260 refuse offenses.

Offenses by Complainant show a reduction in complaints by the public and a decrease in officer-initiated complaints. The decrease in officer-initiated complaints is largely the result of a decrease in officer-initiated refuse complaints, which dropped from 439 in 2011 to 193 in 2012. This is a decrease of 268 or 96% of the decrease of the officer-initiated complaints recorded in 2012. The total number of refuse complaints recorded in 2012 marked a return to the range of refuse complaints logged in years 2006-2010 where the high was 297 (in 2009) and the low was 182 (in 2006).

Looking at other specific types of complaints by complainant, we see that the number of noise complaints reported by Public continued its downward trend even though the total number of noise complaints remained essentially level between 2010 and 2012. Total alcohol offenses declined by nearly 21% between 2010 and 2012, even though the number of alcohol complaints lodged by the public increased 5 complaints (from 29 in 2011 to 34 in 2012).

The First Eight (F8) program is a collaborative effort of Penn State University and State College Borough to address issues that arise in neighborhoods near campus as students return to town for the fall semester. The program was initiated in 2007 following visits to and consultations with several other communities that host major universities and had started similar programs with encouraging results. Our own experience, and that of other university communities, is that the first weeks of the new school year is a critical time to set the tone for the entire year. Collaboration among the officials and agencies enables us to focus our efforts where they will have the greatest impact. Additional details on the development of the F8 program may be found in the Appendix.

This report provides an overview of the F8 program in the Highlands, Holmes-Foster and College Heights neighborhoods. The data presented in this report are for these specific neighborhoods, and not the entire Borough, unless noted. All data are for a 16 week period for each year beginning in mid August.

Police activity has been tracked in 8 categories. These categories, while not covering the full range of police activity, are key indicators of activity that contributes to neighborhood issues. The Police categories reported here are:

• Alcohol • Assaults/Fights/Harassment • Criminal Mischief/Trespass • Drug Offenses • Noise Offenses • Public Urination • Sex Crimes • Thefts The key indicator tracked for Ordinance Enforcement was the number of refuse violations.

The offenses tracked for F8 are those that typically have the most direct impact on residents’ perceptions of the quality of life in their neighborhood. Other work of the police, code enforcement and ordinance enforcement staff is equally important, but is not as directly related to neighborhood issues.

The F8 program is part of the Borough’s efforts to meet the following goals:

• Communicate expectations for being members of the Penn State and State College Community • Maintain safe, healthy and vibrant neighborhoods • Promote positive relations between student and non-student residents • Improve quality of life in neighborhoods near campus • Improve communication among students and non-students and between organizations • Build community • Stabilize property values and tax base

Executive Summary

10 of 92

As described in the report, key indicators suggest that there has been progress in meeting these goals and maintaining the quality of life in Borough neighborhoods near campus.

• Offenses reported to the police in the neighborhoods for the F8 study periods in 2007-2012 were below 2006 (pre-F8) levels.

• Arrests for alcohol violations in the neighborhoods for the F8 study periods in 2007-2012 were below 2006 (pre-F8) levels.

• Citizen survey results in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2102 showed that more than 85 percent of non-student residents Borough-wide believe their neighborhood is a good or excellent place to live – an approval rating similar to that of other communities participating in the NCS. (No comparable survey for 2006.)

• The favorable response rate on survey questions related to quality of life in State College and in the respondents’ neighborhood was higher in State College than it was in other university communities 25,000 – 99,000 in population that participated in the national citizen survey.

The report examines offenses in 26 police reporting areas (RAs) in whole or in part. These RAs were selected because they encompass the neighborhoods adjacent to either downtown or campus. A map of these RAs may be found in the appendix on page 36. An examination of the data for each of these 26 RAs reveals that the number of violations varies substantially depending on which RA you are focusing on. In 2012, the RAs with the lowest total number of violations are E9 and F1. E9 is located in the eastern section of the Highlands North while the F1 is located in the Holmes-Foster neighborhood between S. Sparks Street and Corl Street. The RA with the highest number of violations is D6, which is bounded by Locust Lane, E. Foster Avenue, Pugh Street, and E. Beaver Avenue. For the 7 years examined in the report, RA F2 experienced a total of 15 violations while a total of 608 violations were logged in RA D7. In fact, of the 26 RAs for which data were examined, 6 of them (slightly less than 25% of the RAs) accounted for nearly half (45%) of the violations. These wide differences in total violations in the different RAs must be factored into any intervention strategies that are pursed.

Conclusions and Recommendations

While it is encouraging to see positive overall trends in the neighborhoods included in the F8 program, additional analysis is needed for several sub-neighborhood areas identified through the report. Moreover, factors may have contributed to the positive reports for 2007-2012. The number of home football games was higher in 2009, contributing to an increase in some offenses above 2007 and 2008 levels (but still below 2006 levels.) Weather also has an impact on any given weekend’s activities. Nevertheless, F8 seems to have made a difference and the programs are helping to maintain and improve the quality of life in the neighborhoods near campus.

11 of 92

Based on the data and the assessments by the participants, continuation of the F8 program is recommended. Additional recommendations include the following:

• Establish a contact group with landlords whose properties have historically created problems in neighborhoods to ensure full participation of landlords in addressing problems occurring at their properties. This contact group should begin working prior to the start of the semester and focus on both preventative measures and intervention strategies.

• Continue focus on noise violations, including officer initiated citations for such violations. (Note – if this enforcement is increased substantially the noise violations numbers will likely increase – see discussion in Appendix 7 on officer-initiated versus complaint response enforcement.)

• Increase pre-party contacts and other proactive measures, and explore the feasibility of implementing a party registration program.

• Focus resources on those Police RAs where the greatest number of offenses have historically occurred.

• Increase focus on large parties and gatherings that result in negative impacts on neighborhoods; and continue designating specific teams to be assigned to this effort on a regular basis.

• Continue the NEAT (Neighborhood Enforcement Alcohol Teams), a cooperative effort between State College Borough and Penn State police departments focused on enforcement in neighborhoods south of campus and downtown.

• Explore new ways for the Borough and Penn State police to collaborate on intervention and enforcement in neighborhoods near campus when Penn State students are involved.

• Work with Penn State administrators to find new ways to enable the University to address issues with students and landlords when major neighborhood impacts result from student activities.

• Expand our efforts to use community building activities and alternatives to the criminal justice system to increase civility in our neighborhoods and increase cooperation among student and non-student residents in preventing and resolving problems.

• Institute a Restorative Justice Program and a Good Neighborhood Program.

Overall from 2006 through 2012 there was decrease in total offenses per year from 1023 in 2006 to 980 in 2012. This decrease was not a smooth downward trend. The following chart shows the variation in the number of violations each year.

If we differentiate between police offenses and refuse offenses, we see that much of the variation since 2009 is the result in annual fluctuation in the number of refuse offenses issued. Police offenses have essentially plateaued since 2009. The following two charts demonstrate this phenomenon:

Overall Trends

13 of 92

We have observed patterns in violations on the basis of location (i.e., police reporting area), time of day and day of week. In many respects these patterns are not surprising given the rhythm of the activities occurring in State College during the fall semester. The following charts taken from the report’s appendices provide examples of these patterns.

Location/Police Reporting Area

14 of 92

This chart shows a compilation of the offenses by police RA for the entire reporting period. In Appendix 2 the same chart is provided for each of the 7 years for which data are available. The pattern observed for each year mimics the pattern shown above. True, in some years more offenses will be recorded in RA D6 or E6 instead of D7 or E8, but the pattern of the greatest number of offenses occurring in those RAs is maintained. A map showing Police Reporting Areas and the density of offenses in each RA is included in the Appendix on page 37.

Time of Day (by Hour)

This chart reveals that Police Department activity peaks in the hours between 11:00 pm and 2:00 am. Police activity is much lower at other times of day. The fact that criminal mischief/trespass and thefts occur more frequent during the day is a function of the time of day when these two types of offenses are reported to the police rather than when they actually occurred. The time of day that refuse offenses, which are not included on this chart, occur is a function of when the ordinance enforcement officer observes the offense and issues either a warning or a field violation. This occurs most frequently between the hours of 6:00 am and Noon on weekends.

Day of Week

15 of 92

It is not surprising that more violations occur from Friday morning to Saturday morning and Saturday morning through Sunday morning. However, as this charts reveals, a substantial number of police offenses occurs from Thursday morning through Friday morning. In addition, one will note from the data, some level of police activity occurs throughout the remainder of the week.

By Week

Appendix 4 provides data on the number of violations per week for each of the weeks included in the reporting period. The reporting period begins the week prior to the return of the university student population for fall semester and runs through Thanksgiving weekend. Due to the changeable nature of Penn State home football games, the pattern in occurrence of police activities reflects the home schedule each and the weekend of Halloween. A second pattern that will be observed when reviewing Appendix 4 is that more police activity occurs during the earlier parts of the semester than in the latter weeks when the weather become less amenable to outside activities.

As an alternative format for displaying these trends, staff prepared a line graph for police offenses that were recorded from 2006-2012. This provides the reader with a snapshot of how the different police offenses moved each year for the 7 years for which data are available.

Conclusion

Staff believes the data confirm that patterns in the type and time of offenses are clearly discernable. The good news is that the neighborhoods are not experiencing a sustained increase in police offenses. The bad news is that the number of police offenses seems to have hit a plateau. The community, that is municipal and university officials, residents (both student and non-student), and owners of rental properties need to work together to identify methods to improve the situation experienced in neighborhoods close to downtown and campus.

16 of 92

Data was broken out on the basis of the four neighborhood areas for further analysis. We were particularly looking for trends in individual neighborhoods that ran counter to what we found at the larger level of analysis. This will allow us to focus our responses on the most impacted areas.

Please refer to Appendix A-1, Tables 1b through 1k for detail.

Highlands North (HN)

Total number of offenses recorded in the HN declined by 186, from 643 in 2006 to 457 in 2012. This is a 29% decrease in the number of offenses.

Alcohol offenses were down over the 5 years, declining from 160 in 2006 to 105 in 2012. However, there was substantial variation in the number of Alcohol offenses on a year to year basis, with 105 recorded in the lowest year (2012) and 163 in the highest year (2010.) The change from 2006 to 2012 represents a 35% decline in the number of alcohol offenses in Highlands North.

Assaults have leveled off at 27 per reporting period in 2010-2102 in the HN after declining from 48 in 2006 to 27 in 2010.

Criminal Mischief/Trespass had declined by 19% between 2006 and 2011 with 74 offenses in 2006 and 60 in 2011 only to increase to 75 offenses in 2012. Even with this increase, the number of Criminal Mischief offenses was still below 2008, the peak year for Criminal Mischief offenses, when 86 were reported.

Noise offenses have fluctuated widely between 2006 and 2012. Noise offenses peaked in 2006 when 146 offenses were logged, dipped to a low of 84 in 2008, spiked again in 2010 to 130 offenses and declined from this second peak to 115 offenses in 2011 and 96 offenses in 2012.

Public Urination, as expected, tracked similarly to alcohol offenses. In 2006 a total of 28 were recorded. This total declined in 2007 and 2008 (21 and 13) and then rebounded in 2009 and 2010 (21 and 31, respectively) and declined slightly in 2011 and 2012 with 26 such offenses recorded in each of these 2 years.

Refuse offenses in the HN peaked in 2011 when 206 offenses were recorded, followed by a drop to 89 offenses in 2012. The cause of the decline in 2012 compared to 2011 and earlier years has not been determined since weekend ordinance enforcement was conducted every weekend in both 2011 and 2012.

Thefts were down 35% over the reporting period, dropping from 46 in 2006 to 30 in 2011 and 31 in 2012. For Thefts, 2008 was the highest year, with 58 offenses reported.

Offenses by Neighborhood

17 of 92

Highlands South (HS)

Alcohol offenses increased slightly from 6 in 2006 to 7 in 2011. The highest number of alcohol offenses was recorded in 2011 (11) and the lowest in 2012 (3).

Assaults varied during the reporting period increasing from 8 in 2006 to 11 in 2009 before declining to 7 in 2010, 2011 and 2012.

Criminal Mischief/Trespass offenses were generally flat between 2006 and 2009 over the first 4 years of the reporting period (9, 8, 10, and 9, respectively) before climbing to 14 in 2010. The number of this category of offense declined in 2011 and 2012 to 11 5 offenses, respectively.

Noise as an offense category remains responsible for the largest number of offenses in the HS. The number of offenses has generally trended down from 2006 to 2012, with 53 reported in 2006 and between 30 and 35 offenses for 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, and 2012. The HS experienced its second highest total of noise offenses in 2009 when 41 offenses were recorded.

Public Urination offenses were extremely rare in HS. A total of 4 were recorded between 2006 and 2012.

Refuse offenses varied substantially during the 2006 to 2012 reporting period. In 2006 there were 10 refuse offenses in HS. This number peaked in 2011 when 36 refuse offenses were recorded. The second highest number of refuse offenses was recorded in 2010 with 20 offenses. For 2012, this number declined to 15 offenses. A lower number of refuse offenses were recorded in the other years in the reporting period when a total of 9, 8, and Refuse offenses were recorded for 2007 and 2008, respectively.

Theft numbers remained low in HS although there was variation in the actual numbers reported from 2006 to 2012. The number of thefts varied from a high of 11 reported in 2006 to a low of 4 in 2010. In 2012 a total of 7 thefts were reported.

Holmes-Foster (HF)

Alcohol offenses per year, which had been declining in HF between 2007 (23 offenses) to 2010 (15 offenses) has increased since then with 28 offenses in 2011 and 31 offenses in 2012. Staff believes this increase is due to the activities of NEAT in the HF neighborhood.

Assaults were down over the reporting period, but did rise between 2010 and 2011. In 2006, 25 assaults were recorded while in 2010 this number declined by 24% to 19. In 2011 and 2012, a total of 24 and 19 assaults were recorded in HF, respectively. In 2008 and 2009 substantially fewer assaults were recorded, with 8 and 13 assaults, respectively, in those 2 years. To the extent that alcohol is involved in an assault, it is possible this increase is related to increase in alcohol offenses that were also recorded in 2011 when compared with 2010 and earlier years.

Criminal Mischief/Trespass offenses were down 28% from 2006 to 2012, declining from 45 instances in 2006 to 32 cases in 2012. There has been some variation in this category of offense, with 32 recorded in 2007 and 2008, 37 offenses reported in 2009, 26 in 2010, and 33 in 2011.

18 of 92

Noise offenses were up 39% over the reporting period, rising from 71 in 2006 to 99 in 2012; the lowest number was 54 Noise offenses reported in 2008.

Public Urination offenses were infrequent in HF, ranging between 1 and 3 incidents per year for years 2006 – 2011 but increased to 10 offenses in 2012.

Refuse offenses represented the largest single category of all the categories of offenses for which data were compiled. Numbers were up for the reporting period, rising 323% from 39 in 2006 to 165 in 2011. Even though the number of refuse offenses declined to 83 in 2012 this is still 113% higher than the number of occurrences in 2006. 2012 was also the first year when another violation category exceeded refuse as the most frequent offense with 99 alcohol offenses being recorded in 2012. The most dramatic increase in Refuse offenses occurred between 2006 and 2007, when the number of offenses increased from 39 to 110. Thefts were down from 2006 to 2012, with 27 and 20 Thefts recorded, respectively. In this category, the lowest number of Thefts was 23 recorded in 2008 and the highest number was 42 recorded in 2010.

College Heights (CHts)

Alcohol offenses fluctuated between 2 and 6 for the reporting period. For 2012, 2 alcohol offenses were recorded. The 6 recorded in 2009 represented highest number recorded during the reporting period.

Assaults increased from 2 in 2006 to 5 in 2012. Five, the largest number of assaults in a single year, were also reported in 2009. For the other years analyzed, no more than 2 assaults were reported in any year.

Criminal Mischief/Trespass as a category of offenses went from 4 in 2006 to 9 in 2012. The highest reported number of Criminal Mischief/Trespass offenses was in 2008 when 10 were reported.

Noise offenses were up from 10 in 2006 to 12 in 2012. The number of Noise offenses in CHts fluctuated from a low of 10 in 2006 to a high of 19 in 2007.

Public Urination offenses were also infrequent in CHts with a total of 9 occurring during the 7 years of the reporting period. However, nearly 50% of these were recorded in 2012 when 4 public urination offenses were recorded.

Refuse offenses declined from 14 in 2006 to 11 in 2010, increased substantially in 2011 to 32 offenses, and then declined to 21 in 2012. The fewest number of refuse offenses was 6 recorded in 2007. With 147 offenses recorded over the 7 years for which data are available, refuse offenses represented the largest single category of offenses. The second highest category, noise, had 98 offenses. Thefts were the third highest category of offense with a total of 54 recorded

Thefts trended up between 2006 and 2012, from 4 in 2006 to 8 in 2012. The greatest number of thefts occurred in 2009 when 12 were recorded.

For the F8 report, staff analyzes data on the basis of select demographics of the offender. It should be noted at the outset of this section that offender demographic data are not available for all offenders. Details on offender demographics are found in Appendix 8.

It is not surprising, given the population profile of State College, that the largest group of offenders is young, white males. Fully 82.1% of the offenders for whom gender is available are males. Of the 1757 male offenders for whom an age is known, 1570 (89%) are between the ages of 17 and 24. Of the offenders for whom race is identified, 91.2% are white, 5.0% are African American, and 3.7% are Asian.

Table 8c breaks out offenses by type for offenders ages 17 – 26. Alcohol offenses, followed by noise offenses, are the highest category of offenders ages 17 – 20 (679 and 181 offenses, respectively.) For offenders 21 years of age and older, these same two categories of offense rose to the top of the list, but in reverse order with 235 alcohol offenses and 574 noise offenses.

As part of its citizen engagement initiatives during each of the past four years, State College Borough has partnered with the National Research Center (NRC), a private survey research firm based in Boulder, CO, to conduct mail out/mail back surveys of a randomly selected sample of State College Borough residents. In 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 the questionnaire used was the National Citizen Survey (NCS) questionnaire. The NCS is a cooperative undertaking between the ICMA and NRC. Questions on the NCS survey focus primarily to topics such as satisfaction with services and issues related to quality of life and safety in the community. The NCS questionnaire also allows the community to develop three questions that focus on topics related to local policy issues. In 2008, the Borough and NRC developed a questionnaire that was similar in style to the NCS but focused more on issues of local interest.

Each of the surveys included questions that allowed respondents to give us their assessment of quality of life in their neighborhood and in the Borough as a whole as well as their assessments of how safe they feel in their neighborhood. From 2008 forward the survey included a question concerning how frequently they interact with their neighbors. The results of this question, and of one that asked respondents to rate the sense of community they experienced, provide us with insights into the level of neighborhood cohesion felt by our residents. Responses to the subset of the NCS questions on the quality of life in State College and State College neighborhoods are provided in Appendix C.

One question that arises fairly often is do student residents hold the same views on the quality of life in State College as those held members of the community that are not students. Since one of the demographic questions we ask on the survey is student status, we are able to break out the responses for our student and non-student residents. As you will see in Appendix 11, the trend lines in the responses are very similar regardless of student status. Note that even though student residents tended to have a slightly less favorable impression of quality of life and level of safety than non-student residents, a substantial majority of students gave high marks to quality of life and safety in both their neighborhood and in the community overall.

Data Notes on the Appendix Extensive, detailed data are provided in the nine chapters in the Appendix. A brief synopsis of the data is provided at the beginning of each chapter. The police and ordinance enforcement data for the 16 weeks in the four neighborhood areas are provided in detail in the following appendices (numbers correspond to appendix number A-__):

1. Offenses by neighborhood (Includes map of the four neighborhoods near the campus that are included in all the data sets.)

2. Offenses by reporting areas (smaller police reporting areas within each neighborhood) 3. Offenses by type by year and by neighborhood 4. Offenses by week for police and separately for noise/refuse/alcohol 5. Offenses by day of week 6. Police offenses by hour (Police only; ordinance enforcement is not tracked on an hourly basis.) 7. Offenses by complainant 8. Offender demographics B. Development of the F8 program C. National Citizen Survey 2012 key responses

In addition to those data, the report includes information on Penn State home football game schedule and number of students enrolled at the University. It should be noted that neighborhood by neighborhood data are not available for the Citizens’ Survey. These data are Borough-wide. The F8 project has been active from 2007 through 2012. Year 2006 is our data control year, before the F8 project began. The F8 reporting start date is two Mondays prior to student return, so that data covers one full week prior to student return for comparison purposes. The end date is 16 full weeks after the start date. Each week runs Monday to Sunday. Data covers the following date ranges:

Year Start Date End Date 2006 Aug 21, 2006 Dec 10, 2006 2007 Aug 13, 2007 Dec 2, 2007 2008 Aug 11, 2008 Nov 30, 2008 2009 Aug 10, 2009 Nov 29, 2009 2010 Aug 9, 2010 Nov 28, 2010 2011 Aug 8, 2011 Nov 27, 2011 2012 Aug 13, 2012 Dec 2, 2012

Data is restricted to offenses in select State College Borough residential neighborhoods: Highlands, Holmes-Foster, and College Heights. Offenses occurring on properties, as well as in the street and on sidewalks, are included. Offenses occurring on commercial properties, the downtown area, Penn State campus, high-rise apartment buildings, and other areas are not included. The Holmes-Foster neighborhood includes the area known as the West End. The Highlands neighborhood is divided into Highlands North and Highlands South, with Hamilton Avenue as the dividing line.

Alcohol Poisoning…

As a party host, you are responsible for your guests’ health. Here are the signs that

indicate alcohol poisoning, which, if untreated, can lead to death:

· Cold, bluish, clammy skin

· Unresponsive (you can’t wake them up)

· Shallow and/or irregular breathing

· Vomiting

· “Snoring” sounds

· Other danger signs

· Mixing alcohol with medications or drugs

· Collapsing after drinking

· Vomiting and choking

What to do - Call 911 immediately! Do not give the person food or water or your

guest may choke.

Ending the party…

· Tell the monitor to stay by the door to turn away new guests.

· Turn on the lights.

· Change the music or turn it off.

· Stop serving alcohol. Serve only soda, water, or coffee.

· Make sure intoxicated guests are not driving. Call a taxi, or have guests sleep

over.

· Encourage guests to leave in small groups of three to four. This will help prevent

excessive noise.

Before the party…

· Have a guest list. Limit your party to those you know to prevent unwanted

behavior and problems.

· Discuss ending time with roommates. Decide who will end the party.

· Appoint a sober monitor. The monitor’s job is to turn away uninvited guests, help

enforce house rules, talk with the police if they show up, and watch for drunk

drivers.

· Educate yourself about PA Law for noise and alcohol distribution.

· Lock valuables away.

· Notify your neighbors before the day of the party.

· Discuss which food and non-alcoholic drinks you will be serving.

During the party…

· Check IDs. Ensure those drinking are legal drinking age. Not carding does NOT

release you from legal responsibilities!

· Limit your guests’ alcohol consumption. Plan how you will intervene to slow down

a guest who is drinking too much.

· Call 911 immediately in a case of an emergency, or 1-800-479-0050 in a

non-emergency.

· Limit noise levels, parking, trespassing, littering, public urination, and other

possible violations to avoid having police called.

· If police arrive, make sure the monitor is the first person the officer sees.

· Allow officers to do their job without interference. Follow all police instructions.

Everyone likes to have a good time. But in addition to being a fun host you also have a responsibility to be a good citizen and mature host. The State College Police Department and Penn

State University Police Department provide the following advice for hosting a responsible party:

Before F8

State College Borough has experienced issues related to the impact of students on residential neighborhoods for many years. Many thousands of university students move out of the residence halls or transfer from branch campuses each year and begin their first experience in independent living in the Borough. There are 9,800 rental housing units in State College Borough, the great majority of which are student occupied. The rental units are mostly in high rise buildings in the central business district, but significant numbers are located in Borough neighborhoods - in smaller apartment buildings, in large old homes converted into apartments or rooming houses, in fraternities and in single family homes rented to students or owned by students’ families.

Students living in or visiting friends in Borough neighborhoods often have lifestyles that conflict with those of their older neighbors. Students’ late hours, noisy parties, and alcohol-fueled behavior issues impact residential neighborhoods where residents raise families and appreciate respect for the needs and rights of the neighbors. These issues arise from new experiences for students, including:

New-found freedom Exploring new social boundaries Access to alcohol Renewing friendships Social networking Football and other large events Lifestyle conflicts

Over the past decade the number of students at Penn State has grown by 10 percent while the number of residence hall units on campus has remained level. This has added 4,000 more students to the community’s population.

State College and Penn State have recognized the significant impact the influx of students each autumn has on the community and its residential neighborhoods, particularly those close to the campus: the Highlands, Holmes Foster and College Heights neighborhoods. Many of the Borough’s responses to this dynamic have been regulatory in nature. Examples of this include the enactment of occupancy limits, the adoption of property maintenance standards, the enactment of a rental permit suspension ordinance and the creation of the student home land use category. The University also responded with regulations through the extension of its Code of Conduct to apply to off-campus behavior.

The community also implemented strategies that do not rely on regulations, such as the first-time home buyer program and the home rehab program, as tools to entice owner occupants to either move into or remain in the Borough. Town and gown have worked together on a variety of programs targeted at addressing destructive behavior such as binge drinking. While these programs may have enforcement elements, they also focus on educating the community on the dangers of certain behaviors. For all the benefits that have resulted from these initiatives, more remained to be done to improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods for all of our residents.

B. Development of F8 Program

83 of 92

Experience in State College and collaboration with other university communities has shown that the initial weeks of the fall semester are a critical time to set the expectations for the entire year. This was particularly reinforced in 2007 when Borough and University staff visited Fort Collins and Boulder, Colorado, host communities for Colorado State University and Colorado University respectively to observe their town-gown fall semester initiatives. This experience underlined the importance of setting the tone – the community’s expectations – for the year as students return to town.

What is F8?

Beginning with the fall semester in 2007 the Borough and University began the F8 initiative. Originally, it referred to the first 8 weeks of the fall semester. Subsequently it has been extended to continue through the football season.

This town – gown partnership includes multiple partners from both sides of College Avenue. State College Borough Administration, Ordinance Enforcement, Police and Centre Region Code Administration meet regularly with Penn State Student Affairs, Office of Greek Life, Judicial Affairs and Police. The work of this unified task force is to identify issues quickly and coordinate responses to set the tone for community expectations for the new academic year. Weekly meetings of the task force are the basis for organizing this effort.

The weekly meetings provide the platform for staff of both town and gown to coordinate responses and plan initiatives for proactive and positive actions as well as increased law and ordinance enforcement collaboration, particularly in neighborhoods near campus. Proactive actions included police officer initiated contacts and, specifically, pre-party contacts when a police officer observed party preparations under way. Increased enforcement included starting limited weekend ordinance enforcement in 2008 and adding more weekend ordinance enforcement in 2009.

Each week for 16 weeks beginning in mid August data is aggregated, reported and shared among the F8 participants. This collaboration among the University and Borough officials and agencies with current data enables police and other staff to focus efforts where they will have the greatest impact in the neighborhoods.

F8 extends far beyond the weekly meetings. One of the most visible of these activities is the Living in One Neighborhood (LION) walk, held during the first week of Penn State classes in late August. Other outreach activities include window posters in downtown businesses, advertisements in The Daily Collegian, and posters in CATA buses. The combined objectives of these F8 efforts are to build community, to establish a sense among all residents, student and non-student, that there are community standards and that each resident is expected to be a responsible part of the community.

Breaking down the barriers between police and other officials and our student residents is an important component of the F8 process. The LION walk is one way of putting a human face on public officials. Pre-party contacts, distributing information on how to conduct a safe party, working with university officials and event organizers to identify large social events, and initiating follow-up contacts at residences where problems have occurred in the past are all other methods that are used as part of the F8 process to reduce or eliminate problems before they occur. Other outreach activities include window posters in downtown businesses, advertisements in The Daily Collegian, and posters in CATA buses.

At its core, F8 is a community-building initiative. It strives to build a sense of community in a number of ways. It attempts to convey to our student residents what expectations for living in neighborhoods are held by other members of our community. F8 is a process, not a once-and-done project. To be successful, the attitudes in F8 must become part of the everyday culture. One of the most important messages F8 can send is that civic vitality is built on capacity of people to trust one another. Trusting one another depends on getting to know each other better, on identifying shared values and overcoming areas where you hold contrasting values. It inculcates the concept that citizens are responsible for quality of life in the community. While the government has a role to play in maintaining a community’s quality of life, it is critical that a community’s citizens are concerned with the quality of life in their community and are committed to taking steps necessary to maintain that quality of life. Finally, while measuring results is important, it is equally important to know that you have done the work to bring people together and help them make community connections.
