Project Information
Project Name
Rancho Resilience & Reinvestment Project (Triple R)
Project Synopsis
Program supporting Rancho residents hit the hardest by the economic and social impacts of COVID‐19. Services will offer wrap‐ around case‐managed coaching services focused on wholistic support of each participant's needs. Resource Specialists offering a strengths‐based, culturally responsive empowerment model will work with participants toward their financial, educational, employment, housing, domestic violence recovery and stress reducing goals. The outcome of this program is to revitalize the community, create participant support networks and recovery to those most impacted by COVID.

Project Description
Triple R will offer participants a chance to change their lives 180 degrees. Coaches will work with participants to identify and access next steps in their social and economic recovery. Immigrants, refugees and communities of color were impacted at astronomical levels with loss of employment, income and access to services throughout the pandemic. While this program does not only focus on these groups, FCCP has a strong relationship with each community in Rancho and this program will work to help participants help themselves. These supports will build community cohesion through networking, provide a positive outlet for self‐discovery, inquiry, understanding and knowledge of support systems available. As each participant deepens in their own goals accomplishment and participation in programs this will provide a socio or economic benefit to the city by promoting community relations, residents’ well‐ being, safety and increased economic stability.

Project Team
FCCP will be the main organization responsible for this project. The Director along with the Community Supports Manager will supervise a team of Resource Specialists committed to participant goals accomplishment, connection with resources and supportive activities. FCCP houses Rancho Cordova Job Center for easy referral and has myriad established community partnerships to fulfill this program's needs. FCCP currently has MOU's with WEAVE (domestic violence support provider), CSUS department of Social Work and Early Child Education, Chaplain University‐nursing, Rancho Cordova Grocery Outlet, Mi Rancho Market, SMUD, SETA, EFSP and Sacramento's Family Support Collaborative to name a few. FCCP’s Accounting department will support billing, payment and tracking of requests for support.

3 In addition to providing the project timeline identified above, describe how you will be able to complete your project by June 30, 2023.

FCCP has a long history of supportive programs to the community. FCCP will outreach the program aggressively through social media, partners and businesses/institutions participants frequent. FCCP has a strong management team of qualified, skilled and tenured leaders. FCCP's Accounting department routinely processes related payment requests and tracking of qualifying data. Many of the proposed supports are already established through on‐going MOUs and community relationships. This should prove advantageous to not only identifying participants but also providing connections and support.

Please note, if selected for funding, you will be required to submit a narrative Outcomes Report and a financial Use of Funds Report at least two times during the grant period.

Will you be able to adjust your project if California Public Health and/or Sacramento County Health Orders change? For example, the program could operate virtually or with other modifications made. Please describe.

FCCP transitioned with‐in three days of the original California Public Health order and has taken most documentation, meetings and programming online.

This legacy project will anchor and tie these community amenities together, creating a preeminent location for visitors to access vital health resources, learn, celebrate and recreate.

PROPOSED SCOPE of WORK
The City of Rancho Cordova has been instrumental in funding backbone infrastructure improvements necessary to activate next steps of the interpretive center construction. The entrance signage and landscaping proposed here will bring completion to recent driveway and parking lot upgrades, which have created major improvements to the site’s accessibility, safety, aesthetic appeal, and capacity to host visitors. Proposed actions under this request include:
● Design and installation of attractive Soil Born Farms entrance and marquee signage at Chase Drive. This will replace the temporary signage currently in place. Conceptual designs for this element and the landscaping plan were previously done by Mark Thomas and Associates. These plans will be modified slightly based on changes to the new driveway alignment.
● Design and installation of landscaping at the site entrance and along the length of the newly installed driveway. Landscaping will include a combination of native and drought tolerant plants consistent with landscaping in the completed parking lot. ● Please see Scope of Work and Project Drawing attachment for detail.

These steps will add to the charm of the Chase Drive corridor, and will increase Soil Born Farms’ visibility to visitors from the Sacramento region and beyond. The upgraded entrance look will tie seamlessly into new bike/pedestrian pathway installation under the City of Rancho Cordova’s Chase Drive - American River Parkway Connection Project (which also includes lighting, ADA design, and high visibility crosswalks). Combined, these improvements will ready Soil Born Farms to install a planned bike/pedestrian connector pathway paralleling the new driveway, providing safe, dedicated access from our site to 5 schools within walking distance, Hagan Community Park, and the American River Parkway pathway used by millions of recreationalists each year.

SITE DEVELOPMENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
With support from the City of Rancho Cordova and other partners, many major infrastructure upgrades are underway or have been completed. These are essential steps in preparing the site for new construction outlined in the American River Ranch Master Plan, toward the goal of establishing the Center for Food, Health and the Environment. Accomplishments to date include:
● Widened 2-way driveway entrance (completed)
● Paved, lighted parking lot with ADA stalls (completing spring 2022) ● Backbone utility upgrades of water, gas, sewer and electrical (completing in 2022) ● Farm Stand and Culinary Building final design (In final design review) ● Animal Barn design (currently underway in partnership with Cordova High School’s Agriculture Academy, with funding from the Wildlife Conservation Board) ● ADA pathways with interpretive signage throughout the property (design planning currently underway with funding from the American River Parkway Foundation) ● This recent infrastructure complements the existing equipment barn, caretaker house, schoolhouse, farmhouse kitchen, outdoor theater, office building and outdoor patio - many of which have been constructed or renovated by Soil Born Farms.

These upgrades have paved the way for future site and program development including:
● Entrance Bike/Pedestrian Path: A dedicated, paved pathway paralleling the driveway, and connecting to Hagan Park and Chase Drive.
● Demolition, Drainage and Paving: Final preparation in advance of construction of the Farm Stand and Culinary Building and Animal Barn requires demolition of the existing buildings, drainage work, basic grading and paving.
● Animal Barn Construction: An animal program plan is currently being developed in consultation with the Cordova High School Agriculture Academy. A new joint-use Animal Barn will serve as a learning ground for high school students to practice research, holistic land management, animal science, sustainable agriculture and job skills. It will also provide exciting interpretation and education for visiting youth field trips and drop-in visitors. The barn and farm pastures will host a variety of animals including chickens, turkeys, sheep, rabbits and goats.
● Farm Stand and Culinary Building Construction: Providing healthy food access, culinary education for youth and adults, and sales for local farmers and food artisans. The facility will provide dynamic job training for high school aged youth focused on retail, customer service, culinary arts, farm value-added product development, catering, event management and sustainable food production.
● Visitor Center: Design and construction of a facility to interpret the rich history of this land, and the interface between food, health and the environment.

Key community benefits associated with the overall project include:

Community Pride:
 The Center for Food, Health and the Environment at the American River Ranch will anchor a combination of amenities that will draw national attention and create improved livability for local residents once fully developed.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
We are providing this scope and fee to document our understanding of the work required to complete landscape improvements along Soil Born Farms Road, based on our phone conversation of March 10, 2022, and follow up emails. This budgetary scope of services is provided to assist in development of a Measure H grant proposal for the completion of landscape improvements along Soil Born Farms Road. This area is completely within the County Parks property which Cordova Recreation and Parks District manages for maintenance and events. An exhibit showing the scope of the landscape improvements area is attached.

The proposed project intends to utilize previously delivered 100% drawings, prepared by Mark Thomas, and extract plans for construction that would include irrigation and planting along the west side of the road and a small portion to the east side of the entry leading to the new Soil Born Farms parking lot, entry sign design and preparation for future signage lighting. Construction budget is expected to not exceed $320,000, which includes additional engineering costs to complete the plans and construction support. The project may require audit of existing irrigation to satisfy parks department maintenance needs.

Soil Born Farms Road was previously constructed under another phase. Through that effort an arborist report was prepared, and the existing road was realigned and widened to a uniform width of 20-feet.

Project Information
Project Name
Homeless Student Servicies
Project Synopsis
Education is a key element for the success of every great city. Students experiencing homelessness face unique challenges in accessing and succeeding in school. In partnership with the Department of Homeless Student Services of the Folsom Cordova Unified School District we propose to assign a fund to support the most vulnerable students in the Rancho Cordova area.

Project Description
The Department of Homeless Student Services identifies and supports students experiencing homelessness as described under federal law McKinney Vento Homeless Student Act. This act was enacted in 1987 to ensure that children and youth experiencing homelessness have access to the same free, appropriate public education and services as their non‐homeless peers. Homeless Student Services works in collaboration with schools and community partners towards this goal.

Project Team
M. Elena Cabrera. Director, Categorical Programs and Grants Marjorie Diaz. Education Services Liaison M. Elena Cabrera. Director, Categorical Programs and Grants Marjorie Diaz. Education Services Liaison Project Goals
Goals of this project include: 1. Identification of the students in the most need. This is an ongoing task during the school year. 2.

Provisions needed to enable homeless children and youths to participate fully in school activities: a. Backpacks b. School supplies 3.

Provision of emergency assistance needed to enable homeless children and youths to attend school: a. Shoes. b. Clothing:
underwear, socks, hoodies, winter jackets. c. Commodities: Hygiene products, home‐care products.

Funding Request
Funds are generally not intended to be used for deferred maintenance and ongoing operational needs. The funds are intended for community enhancement & investment.

2 $15,000
Estimated Breakdown of Project Expenditures
$15000 annually in gift cards. The reason to ask for gift cards is because it is the best known and proven method for Homeless Student Services to monitor and control the usage of these resources per family. Students have the opportunity to wear new clothing and choose according to their style. This experience has proven to be positive for students in the homeless program. The fund will be distributed as follows: $10 000 for clothing, shoes, commodities and other needs for the families: Distributed in equal parts of $2500 per each one of the following stores: Target, Walmart, Amazon and Kohls. $5 000 for food needs: Distributed in equal parts of $500 per each one of the following: Restaurants: McDonalds, Taco Bell, Subway, Wendy’s, Burger King, KFC and Domino’s.

With a much closer monitoring: Winco, Grocery Outlet and AMPM.

Matching Funds
. Free meals provided by schools. . District Transportation and Public Transportation (RT Cards). . Immunizations clinics for students attending Folsom Cordova Unified School District. . Free eye exams and prescription glasses for students without insurance. .

Support for after school programs. . Support on individual interventions. . Connection to mental and emotional wellness providers. .

Project Information
Project Name
Outdoor Kindergarten Learning Area at Cordova Meadows
Project Synopsis
We want to build an outdoor learning area with a shaded structure and tables in the kindergarten playground area.

Project Description
There is an area of our kindergarten playground that once housed a large redwood tree. As parts of the tree were dying and creating a safety hazard it had to be removed. Unfortunately when the tree was removed, the shade it provided was eliminated. Since it has been removed, we would like to turn the area into an inviting, outdoor learning area. We will cement part of it with tables and a shade structure. In the other part of it we will include bark and tree stump jumping stones for the students to play on. In this area we would put some garden boxes for the children to grow plants.

Project Team
Amber Fontaine ‐Principal, Amanda Walsh‐Assistant Principal, and district facilities team (Matt Washburn and Mike Hammond) Project Goals
We want to make an area on our kindergarten playground where students can go outside to learn and play. The area would be used by our kindergarten and preschool class during the school day. We would also use it as another space for our after school ASES program. Our long term goal is to use this space to support parent connection events for our School Site Council, English Learner Advisory Committee, and Black Student Union Parent Advisory. It would be a lovely space to host our family events in the evenings or the weekends.

Project Information
Project Name
Spark Mobile
Project Synopsis
Through our artistic box truck, Sacramento Valley Spark will bring interactive games, a cooling center and neighborhood cleanup tools to community events around the region.

Project Description
The Spark Mobile will provide a flexible platform for taking Sacramento Valley Spark’s unique creative energy to numerous (at least 6) Rancho Cordova events over the course of a year. Through the “Spark” drive‐thru and “art stops” events Sacramento Valley Spark has shared the art, music and energy of the local Burning Man community. These socially‐distanced events provided a safe artistic outlet for thousands of people. Now as Covid‐19 restrictions diminish, the demand for community events and human interaction is expected to soar. Rather than focusing our energy on one event, we want to make our energy available for multiple community events. The artistically wrapped Spark Mobile will bring hula hoop lessons, silent disco and scores of additional interactive games to events in Rancho Cordova and contingent on funding, around the region. In addition to the interactive activities, the spark mobile will include a water tank to provide a cooling zone (misters) and tools to help the community clean up. Global warming will mean more and more event producers will grapple with how to keep guests safe during extreme heat events. Our truck will provide a cooling zone for guests to rest and escape the heat. Sacramento Valley Spark and other groups have taken action to clean up our communities. Our truck can support those efforts by providing grabber sticks, buckets and other supplies to these trash pickups.

While we envision seeking funding from additional agencies, contingent on funding, we’ll commit to activities at least 6 Racho Cordova events. We project that our project – with four volunteers at the event – will directly impact 2,100 people over those six events.

Project Team
The project is a creation of the 501c3 nonprofit Sacramento Valley Spark. Our project team has successfully managed Community Enhancement Fund grants in 2020 and 2021. Galvanizing more than 300 volunteers, we hosted “Summer Spark drive‐thru” in 2020 and in 2021 we hosted a “Spring Spark drive‐thru” and the “Art Stops” activations in conjunction with Regional Transit.

Project Goals
The goals of the “Spark Mobile” are to promote interaction with strangers, community safety through the cooling zone, and community pride through the support of trash cleanups. Interaction Human interaction through art, learning, and play creates stronger, happier communities and has been sorely missed during Covid restrictions. An example of similar, stationary publicly available activities can be seen at Sacramento’s Downtown Commons activity area including cornhole (toss game) before Kings games. Hosted activities may include Hula hoop making + lessons Tutu making Name tag games Silent disco Community safety Global warming will result in the increasing frequency of extreme heat events that threaten the safety of event attendees and the viability of the overall experience. The Spark Mobile through an onboard water tank and deployable misting towers and shade structures will be able to provide a cooling zone that will allow attendees to lower their body temperatures and avoid the dangers of heatstroke or heat exhaustion. The vehicle and cooling zone can be deployed for humanitarian safety reasons that do not have community event elements. Community Pride Keeping our communities free of trash and rubbish is an increasingly difficult task.

While we can’t immediately solve all of the factors that lead to littering and blight, we can encourage citizens to care about their community and to actively work to make it cleaner. Rancho Cordova has long been home to river cleanups hosted by the foundations linked to the American River. Since 2019, Sacramento Valley Spark has been hosting now quarterly “Moop Your City” trash collection events. M.o.o.p. is an acronym in the Burning Man community for Matter Out Of Place. With grabber sticks, buckets, bags and sharps disposal boxes, the Spark Mobile will support these efforts and make trash collection a fun, community‐bonding experience.

Re: Support for Spark Mobile
Dear Ed,
The Cordova Community Council is delighted to support Sacramento Valley Spark’s proposal to create a “Spark Mobile.”
The Cordova Community Council – through our Mine Shaft event center – has worked with Sacramento Valley Spark as you hosted the 2020 Summer Spark Drive-Thru and 2021 Spring Spark Drive-Thru events. Both events operated safely and contributed a much-needed boost of artistic energy to the community. The COVID-safe events allowed thousands to enjoy art, music and food without leaving their vehicles.

As we understand, the Spark Mobile will bring art, interactive games, a silent disco, and a cooling ce nter to Rancho Cordova events. We would be excited to incorporate participation at events such as Kids’ Day, July 4 celebration, iFest, and our outdoor movie and concert nights. It sounds like fun! The Spark Mobile activities would add new energy to our longstanding events benefiting the community. I hope the Community Enhancement and Investment Fund process supports this innovative idea and I look forward to busting some moves of my own via Silent Disco! Sincerely,
Shelly Blanchard, Executive Director
Cordova Community Council Foundation

Project Information
Project Name
Rancho Cordova School‐Year Service Program
Project Synopsis
Sierra Service Project seeks funding to continue its long‐standing home repair and youth service program. This project will focus on engaging groups of local middle and high school students during the school year in hands‐on home repair and community‐based service projects. Youth will gain skills, and the community will benefit! Project Description
Since 2015, Sierra Service Project (SSP) has hosted over 1,400 volunteer days and completed 106 exterior home repair projects for 74 low‐income City residents. In 2022, we are focusing our projects on equipping local youth volunteers. Objectives of this program are reciprocal and benefit youth volunteers and the home repair or community‐based project beneficiaries, including: ‐ To provide high school and middle school youth with meaningful service‐learning opportunities, a positive and fun volunteer experience, and inspire a life‐long passion for service. ‐ To equip youth with invaluable home repair life skills. ‐ To increase civic engagement through youth volunteers from local groups. ‐ To enhance the quality of life of Rancho Cordova residents by providing safer homes, beautifying neighborhoods, and increasing community pride. In 2022, we plan to reboot our long‐standing Rancho Cordova School‐ Year Service Program with a new approach: 1) In coordination with the City of Rancho Cordova staff and their new volunteer platform, coordinate two regular monthly work days to aid in volunteer recruitment and project scheduling. 2) Work with school, church, and other youth volunteer groups to commit to multiple work days during the school year in advance of the funding cycle.

This proactive approach will keep interested groups accountable, and help us plan projects for faster completion and set clear expectations for beneficiaries. 3) Focus on building long‐term relationships within the community. Elderly residents need home repairs, and are often lonely. Volunteer home repair not only makes a home safer and increases community pride, but is an opportunity for young people to develop intergenerational relationships with the homeowner and adult volunteers they are working with. 4) While focused on youth, we welcome volunteer groups of all ages! Skilled volunteers can help prepare the project for a youth work day, or tackle any particularly challenging aspects.

2 A Program Manager will be responsible for the development and delivery of this project. They will be supervised by our Executive Director, Megan Taylor, who has spent the last seven years involved in our Rancho Cordova program. SSP’s Business Manager, Jake Bailey, will provide bookkeeping, insurance, budgeting, and HR support, and SSP’s Project Manager will advise the Program Manager with their deep construction and project planning expertise. The Program Manager will work closely with the City, low‐income homeowners, community‐based organizations, and youth volunteer groups to plan projects and lead work days. They will focus: 1) Externally on outreach, building new relationships with volunteer groups. They will spend at least one day a month at community events in Rancho Cordova, getting the word out about our service‐learning opportunities for youth. 2) Internally on maintaining existing relationships, documentation and database records, and proactive communication with constituents via phone, email, and mail. We are in the process of identifying school, church, and other youth‐focused partners to commit to work days next school year.

Cordova High School’s construction teacher Andre Leineke has already committed to two volunteer days in fall 2022. We will partner with at least two different community‐based organizations to engage youth in service‐learning beyond home repairs. This could be gleaning citrus with Soil Born Farms to donate to local food pantries, volunteering on environmental conservation projects and community gardens, or painting a nonprofit or school building.

Project Goals
1) To complete between 20 and 30 home repair project units between July 2022 and June 2023. These projects will improve the quality of life and safety for the homeowner, and increase community pride by repairing or replacing fences, porches, stairs, ramps, exterior paint, and installing drought tolerant front yards. 2) To spend at least one work day per quarter devoted to a community‐ based project. This is a new goal for our work in Rancho Cordova, but an extension of the community partnerships we have at our other sites. We will connect our volunteer groups to local nonprofits that need an infusion of volunteer labor or a repair project on their facility. SSP will supervise the work, provide volunteer support, and building supplies as needed. 3) To work with at least three dedicated groups of youth over the course of the school year. These groups will provide regular, repeat volunteers for work days.

The frequency will be determined by each group, but we will recommend one day per quarter. 4) To complete high quality home repairs which are a source of pride for the homeowner, volunteers, and staff. Overall homeowner satisfaction survey responses will be over 80%. 5) To provide a positive service‐learning experience for youth volunteers to enjoy their work, learn new skills, build intergenerational relationships, all while having fun. Overall volunteer satisfaction survey responses will be over 80%.

Funding Request
Funds are generally not intended to be used for deferred maintenance and ongoing operational needs. The funds are intended for community enhancement & investment.

Total Project Cost
$70,700
Estimated Breakdown of Project Expenditures
See attached budget PDF. SSP has been the recipient of six funding cycles since 2015, although this year we are requesting funds for two different projects. This funding request is an increase from previous grant cycles to account for rising wages and increased building material and gas costs due to inflation. To fund a half‐time, qualified, Program Manager, it is essential that we raise the wage to $20 per hour.

Matching Funds
At minimum, SSP will host on average two volunteer days each month, 22 work days total across 11 months. With an average of seven volunteers per work day, we estimate 154 volunteers working on average 5 hours per day for a total of 770 volunteer hours.

This volunteer time is valued at $33.61 per hour for a total of $25,880 of matching funds.

3 When will your request for funding sunset for ongoing programs? We anticipate there will always be a need for volunteers within the City, whether for home repairs and maintenance, or community‐ based projects. Hopefully this ongoing investment in equipping youth volunteers will maintain community pride and investment within the City! Someday these youth will likely be homeowners and will have the skills to repair their homes.

Do you plan to ask annually for funding?
Yes
What other funding will you seek to support your project? Volunteering will be free to participate, so there will be no fees (earned revenue). To keep our costs low, we will seek business support through donations and discounts including restaurants, building supply stores, etc. These efforts will offset only a small portion of costs.

Project Schedule, Timeliness and Adaptability
Project Schedule
In advance of the project timeline, once approved for funding, SSP will begin scheduling groups for work days during the summer and beyond. Our goal is to have work days scheduled a quarter in advance, with the flexibility to host interested volunteer groups on shorter notice. The project timeline for this request is July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023. July 2022: Begin hosting two work days per month with youth on summer break. We will also begin attending one community outreach event per month to get the word out about youth service‐learning opportunities, focusing on signing up repeat groups for the school year. Each quarter we will host a work day for community‐based projects for youth volunteers. Also quarterly, we will check in with the City to make sure we are on the same page. Fall 2022: Work with Cordova High School’s Advanced Construction class taught by Andre Leineke. During two school days, an estimated 15 students will work at two homes each day. During winter and spring breaks, and long holiday weekends, we will host out of town volunteers for work days in Rancho Cordova. At least once per year, we will host our board of directors and staff for a work day in Rancho Cordova. This is usually in January, but may be in April or October. May 2023: Host a special gathering to honor youth who volunteered two or more times throughout the school year. We would celebrate their commitment to community service and validate any required hours needed for school (at this time or in advance). We will present a small token of appreciation to any seniors. June 2023: Focus on final project completion and reporting.

In addition to providing the project timeline identified above, describe how you will be able to complete your project by June 30, 2023.

Proactive scheduling of youth volunteer groups will be the key to success for this project. Through outreach in advance of the project start, focusing on repeat volunteer groups, adding monthly participation in local events, and utilizing the City’s new volunteer platform, we anticipate a stronger connection with volunteer groups during the 2022‐2023 school year. The Advanced Construction class at Cordova High School has already committed in March 2022 to join us for two volunteer days in the fall. We are excited to connect students learning about carpentry and construction techniques with real world application repairing homes within their community. This can aid in inspiring young people to pursue a career in construction trades, by connecting their skills and interests with local homeowner and family needs. We also have a small team of retired, weekly volunteers who can move projects toward completion between volunteer groups, and we are actively seeking skilled individuals to join them.

Please note, if selected for funding, you will be required to submit a narrative Outcomes Report and a financial Use of Funds Report at least two times during the grant period.

SSP has taken the safety of our volunteers, staff, and homeowner beneficiaries very seriously throughout the COVID‐19 pandemic, pausing volunteer groups for almost a full year. In April 2021 we shifted to begin hosting a group of skilled, retired, weekly volunteers who were vaccinated and eager to get back to work. Since then, they have spent 38 Wednesday mornings completing home repairs in Rancho Cordova! We now have access to better tools and knowledge about limiting the spread of COVID to prevent interruptions in our work projects. Staff and volunteers are required to be fully vaccinated for COVID, including a booster as eligible.

Currently, we require KN94, KN95, or N95 masks inside, and COVID testing for any overnight volunteers. Through this funding, our projects have always been outside, focusing on improving community pride and homeowner quality of life. This means all of our projects have a built‐in safety measure. While we are not requiring masks outdoors, we are providing masks and hand sanitizer to all volunteers. We are confident these protective measures have set us up for sustained success, and with only minor additional precautions, we will be able to adapt to any state or county restrictions without interruption to our goals.

Project Name
Rancho Cordova Summer Service Program
Project Synopsis
Sierra Service Project seeks funding for a new youth summer program in Rancho Cordova. This project focuses on engaging middle and high school students in hands-on home repair and community-based service projects during a week of their summer break. Youth will gain skills, have fun, and the community will benefit! Project Description
Since 2015, Sierra Service Project (SSP) has hosted over 1,400 volunteer days and completed 106 exterior home repair projects for 74 low-income city residents. We are proposing a summer service-learning program in 2023.

Objectives of this program are reciprocal and benefit local youth, youth from outside the community, and home repair and community-based project beneficiaries, including: 1) To provide high school and middle school youth with meaningful service-learning opportunities, a positive and fun volunteer experience, and inspire a life-long passion for service. 2) To equip youth with invaluable home repair life skills. 3) To increase civic engagement through youth volunteers from local and traveling groups. 4) To enhance the quality of life of Rancho Cordova residents by providing safer homes, beautify neighborhoods, and increase community pride. For the first time, SSP is proposing to establish a summer site in Rancho Cordova. Currently our other summer community partners are based throughout California in Del Norte and San Diego Counties, and in the Navajo Nation in Arizona. In 2022, our summer program will host over 800 volunteers who dedicate a week of their summer to service-learning. By adding a site in Rancho Cordova, we will be adding a closer option for our pool of volunteers from the middle of the state, including the Bay Area and the greater Sacramento region. We will invite youth volunteers from Rancho Cordova, and other regions, to join together to spend a week completing home repairs for low-income residents, and projects with community-based organizations. The program will offer day and overnight programs, to accommodate the needs and interests of both local and outside volunteer groups.

Project Team
A team of seven young adult staff will run our summer program. We will seek applicants from Rancho Cordova, and our broader constituent base. Staff don’t need any prior experience, and will spend 10 days in training prior to hosting volunteers. The staff will be supervised by our Executive Director, Megan Taylor, who has spent 7 years Application #88
ITEM 12.2. ATTACHMENT 2

Page 1473 of 1542 ends

involved in our Rancho Cordova program, and 12 years managing SSP’s summer program. The headquarters staff in Sacramento that will support the team includes our Business Manager and Director of Engagement and Impact. The staff will consist of: 1) A Site Director who will serve as the team lead and be a liaison between the staff, volunteers, City, homeowners, and community partners. This person will have at least one year of experience on SSP staff. 2) Three Construction Coordinators who will meet with homeowners and community partners to plan projects and lead work days. They will rotate between work projects, providing instruction and support. 3) Two Food Service Coordinators who will prepare meals for volunteers and staff. At least one dinner per week will be open to the public as a community dinner. They will manage food inventory, kitchen volunteers, and provide a meal plan that accommodates all dietary needs. 4) A program coordinator who will plan activities and discussions for volunteers to process their service-learning experience. This includes coordinating with community speakers and weekly full group community-based service activities. We will work with 10 to 25 groups of youth and adult volunteers. Individual youth will be welcome. Local volunteers will be invited to participate either just during the day, or for the full week staying overnight. In addition to community-based project partners, our host facility will be another major partner.

SSP will seek a school, church, or other space to house volunteers and staff overnight and a place to prepare meals, provide showers, etc.

Project Goals
1) To complete between 40 and 50 home repair project units between June and August 2023. These projects will improve the quality of life and safety for the homeowner and community pride by repairing or replacing fences, porches, stairs, ramps, exterior paint, and installing drought tolerant front yards. 2) To spend at least one work day per week devoted to a community-based project. This is a new goal for our work in Rancho Cordova, but an extension of the community partnerships we have at our other sites. We will connect our volunteer groups to local nonprofits that need an infusion of volunteer labor or a repair project on their facility. SSP will supervise the work, provide volunteer support, and building supplies as needed. 3) To work with at least one local group of youth per week. Local groups and outside groups who travel to Rancho Cordova will serve side by side, learning about each other and the various backgrounds they come from. Peer relationships will be formed across communities. 4) To complete high quality home repairs which are a source of pride for the homeowner, volunteers, and staff. Overall homeowner satisfaction survey responses will be over 80%. 5) To provide a positive service-learning experience for youth volunteers to enjoy their work, learn new skills, build intergenerational relationships, all while having fun.

Overall volunteer satisfaction survey responses will be over 80%.

Funding Request
Funds are generally not intended to be used for deferred maintenance and ongoing operational needs. The funds are intended for community enhancement & investment.

Total Project Cost
$104,800
Estimated Breakdown of Project Expenditures
See attached PDF for a simplified breakdown of summer program income and expenses. SSP provides week-long volunteers with overnight housing, meals from Sunday night to Saturday morning, building materials for projects, staffing, t-shirt, and more. Volunteers are required to provide their own transportation during the week, and adult volunteers at a ratio of between 1:4 and 1:5 youth.

Matching Funds
SSP will host six weeks of volunteers during summer 2023. This accounts for 200 volunteers who will spend a week serving in Rancho Cordova. This is equivalent to 800 volunteer days. Working 6 hours per day, we estimate a total of 4,800 volunteer hours. This volunteer time is valued at $33.61 per hour for a total of $161,328 of matching funds! Include Any Other Funding Contributions
Typically SSP’s summer program participants pay a fee to cover the costs of volunteering, and we offer scholarships — provided by donors — to low-income participants. It is important to us that our programs are accessible to anyone who wants to participate. For this program we are proposing a small $60 deposit fee per person, to keep Application #88

volunteers accountable to their commitment after signing-up. Deposits for 200 volunteers will cover $12,000 in costs. If the City of Rancho Cordova is not able to fulfill our funding request for this program, we would need to offset the difference with greater participant fees from volunteers. For example, if $70,000 was granted by the City, SSP would need to charge 200 participants a $174 fee (including the $60 deposit) to cover the rest of our costs (the remaining $22,800). Our other summer program sites (which are not funded by significant grant awards) have a participant fee of $455 per person, so this would still be a cost-effective summer program for families. We recognize the economic disparity between families including those who have the time to volunteer versus those who need to work to support their families. Eliminating the need to rely on large participant fees would significantly reduce the barrier to participation that fees and traveling long distances requires of families.

Yes
What other funding will you seek to support your project? To keep our costs low, we will seek business support through donations and discounts including grocery stores, building supply stores, etc. These efforts will offset only a small portion of costs.

Project Schedule, Timeliness and Adaptability
Project Schedule
The project timeline for this request is March 1 to August 31, 2023, spanning two funding cycles. Fall 2022:

Volunteer outreach and recruitment begins for Summer 2023. October 2022: Registration opens, $60 deposit to reserve a space. We’ll continue to sign-up volunteer groups through winter and spring. December 2022: Staff outreach recruitment begins. March 2023: Hire staff team of seven young adults. April and May 2023: Online training for staff and volunteers. Staff site visit to coordinate with community partners and begin project selection.

June 2023: Ten days of in-person staff training on job specifics and conflict resolution, leadership, working with youth and adult volunteers, etc. One week of preparation before volunteers arrive. First session of volunteer groups begins at the end of the month. July 2023: Four week-long sessions of volunteer groups throughout the month.

Peak season for project completion. August 2023: Last weeks of volunteer groups, followed by a few days of completing projects (as necessary) and packing up the site by staff. Staff gather from all sites for a few days to debrief their summer, and share highlights and lessons learned with other staff, SSP’s board, community partners, etc. A few months after the summer, a survey will be sent to all homeowners and community-based organizations who received work projects to gauge their satisfaction with the work, volunteer, and staff. Weekly schedule:

Sunday: Volunteers arrive, in-person orientation. Monday: Tool training and half work day. Tuesday: Full work day, community dinner, and local speaker. Wednesday: Half work day as a full group with a community-based organization, half day at the river and BBQ dinner. Thursday: Full work day, off-site evening program. Friday: Full work day, end of week celebrations. Saturday: Volunteers depart after cleaning up, volunteer survey, group photo, Application #88

etc.

In addition to providing the project timeline identified above, describe how you will be able to complete your project by June 30, 2023.

Integrated into SSP’s flagship, 47-year-old summer program, registration will be streamlined and advertised 9 months in advance. By providing Rancho Cordova as a site location, a large portion of SSP’s existing volunteer base will be funneled into this program. This will allow for local outreach to plug into an already-successful program, instead of starting from scratch. Due to multiple volunteer weeks running simultaneously in various locations, our summer program is much more rigorous and scheduled than our year-round program in Rancho Cordova has been.

Six weeks of volunteers requires intense staff preparation, a learning curve for staff during the first few weeks, and a number of weeks where the program is running smoothly. Consistent volunteer groups throughout six weeks will aid in timely project completion. More volunteers means more completed projects! Since this program spans two funding cycles, it will not be completed by June 30, 2023 but instead August 31, 2023.

Please note, if selected for funding, you will be required to submit a narrative Outcomes Report and a financial Use of Funds Report at least two times during the grant period.

SSP has taken the safety of our volunteers, staff, and homeowner beneficiaries very seriously throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, pausing volunteer groups for almost a full year. We now have access to better tools and knowledge about how to limit the spread of COVID to prevent interruptions in our programs. Staff and volunteers are required to be fully vaccinated for COVID, including a booster as eligible. Currently, we require KN94, KN95, or N95 masks inside, and COVID testing for overnight volunteers. We have a Medical Advisory Council of health care professionals which advises our safety policies. We meet monthly to review our safety policies and adjust accordingly. We know the world will change significantly in the next 15 months. Our projects in Rancho Cordova have always been outside, focusing on improving community pride and homeowner quality of life. This means all of our projects have a built-in safety measure. While we are not requiring masks outdoors, we are providing masks and hand sanitizer to all volunteers. We are confident these protective measures have set us up for sustained success, and with only minor additional precautions, we will be able to adapt to any state or county restrictions without interruption to our goals.

Project Information
Project Name
Learning Tools For A Successful Community
Project Synopsis
This project is empowering the Rancho Cordova community for economic success through domestic violence awareness and hands‐ on technical training. By equipping the residents with the new abilities of proven techniques for safety and lifelong learning, this project directly contributes to job placement and retention in Rancho Cordova.

Project Description
The economic damages that family and domestic abuse has on a community may be the single most contributing factor to generational poverty. Victims of intimate partner violence lose a total of 8 million days of paid work each year and the cost of intimate partner violence exceeds $8.3 billion per year. Furthermore, between 21‐60% of victims of intimate partner violence lose their jobs due to reasons stemming from the abuse. People try to leave abusive relationships, but they lack the tools to change. the residents of Rancho Cordova will benefit with a DV awareness campaign. This project will use technical training and a series of awareness events to equip Rancho Cordova women and the community with the lifelong tools to be economically independent. The participants in the training will learn how to make self‐defense tools, DV awareness materials, and artistic displays that reflect their experiences. By using modern manufacturing equipment, the participants will be exposed to viable manufacturing careers. This project will be aligned with the California Mobility Center’s Career Pathways model which intends to establish pipelines from underrepresented communities into economically viable manufacturing careers needed to support Clean Mobility. The culmination of job training, self‐empowerment, and DV awareness will lead to enhanced community connectedness. In connected communities, members gain a sense of belonging and purpose from the experience of both deriving value from and adding value to their community. Stronger connections increase a person’s sense of hope and self‐worth, and the ability to cope adaptively in the face of adversity. As a result, community connectedness is a protective factor that enhances well‐ being, fosters resilience, and promotes prevention. This project will reinforce Rancho Cordova as a model of community connectedness where people build relationships, strong networks, and thrive economically.

2 Project Team: Heather Morrow / KitnCut ‐ Project manager and administrator ‐ current owner of laser cutting company, DV survivor, project lead experience; will implement all aspects of the project, including outreach, facilitating resource shares, contract administration, and convening meetings for interest in future Peace Institute, events, and training and support. Kitncut serves to set itself as a vital link for the entrepreneur and industry sector of Rancho Cordova. By providing low cost manufacturing services to small businesses in the area, we are in line to bring manufacturing back to the States, ensuring fair pay and sustainable practices for a more solid future. Our mission is to help small businesses level up to that next step, helping them to fly. In the same way, Heather Morrow, owner of Kitncut, has made it out of abusive situations, while working full‐time in professional jobs, and raising two children. She can see a clear vision of how to empower people to get out or help their loved ones out of a bad situation. Heather has project management experience from previous work on her resume, and is a great connector of people to people and people to resources. John Brewer ‐mentor, local NVC affiliate/Qi‐Gong Master, licensed marriage and Family Counselor Soroptomist Club ‐ Community outreach and engagement. Works with women and children with years of experience in all aspects of domestic violence and mutual aid with their care programs in Rancho Cordova. Sheryl Longsworth is taking the lead in their group. ASCRIBE Educational Consulting ( Author, Educator) ‐ Direct community link and seminar leader for empowerment California Mobility Center ‐ Employer engagement, job placement, community partner engagement, participant mentoring Project Goals
Project Goals: The project’s long‐term goal is to build a comprehensive domestic violence awareness and abolishment campaign to raise public safety, awareness, and economic sustainability. Using this project as the launch, KitnCut intends to lead efforts to establish Rancho Cordova’s own Nonviolent Communication Center for Family Health. This is based on the NVC teachings of Dr Martin Luther King Jr and the King Center in Georgia which focuses on attacking the root causes of poverty like unemployment, domestic violence, and lack of resources and education. The project goals for 2022‐2023 are to: Host at least 2 community‐based domestic violence and anti racism trainings hosted by ASCRIBE Educational Consulting Recruit at least 3 other women‐owned businesses as mentors and consulting support Host at least 4 women‐led technical training sessions Host at least 1 career fair specifically for Rancho Cordova manufacturing companies Host at least 1 diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) awareness training for employers Participate and distribute awareness materials at at least 4 community events (e.g. Kids Day in the Park, Hoppin at Hagan, houses of worship, Bliss Marketplace, etc) Align with Women in Manufacturing summit in October 2022 (also sponsor tickets) Metrics: Job Placement in Rancho Cordova Manufacturing Sector Total participant intake to existing programs Number of inquiries to help line Number of external resources leveraged Number of people enrolled in technical training Number of responses to community awareness and education surveys or interviews Funding Request

3 If you answered yes above, describe your sustainability plan and whether the project is viable as a single year request.

Multiyear Request: Yes. 3 years (through 2024). The ongoing budget will not include additional equipment. Future funding requests from Rancho Cordova will be $92k. Since the project is connected to the larger CMC program, this project will be viable as a feeder to the larger CMC program over multiple years. If only funded for one year, Kitncut will be able to gainfully employ at least 5 more people over 2 years while increasing production capability to 500%. This falls in line with our placement on the state and county contracts vendor lists, and ability to employ DV survivors, while also enabling more small clothing designers access to the cutting services, thus growing the textile and clothing manufacturing in Rancho Cordova.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Learning Tools for A Successful Community
LEVERAGE:

Kitncut currently offers immediate mutual aid on a per-case basis to DV survivors and the unhoused, giving hygiene products, clothes, and resource referrals. Once you’ve been through DV, it’s like an unspoken bond. This is how survivors make it out. By engaging with the public at ground level and meeting people where they are, we can direct more people to the services already in place, like weave, women’s empowerment, and women’s business center, harm reduction services, 12-step recovery programs, and self defense classes, while equipping them with better skills through our complimentary services. This will directly help stabilize them and prepare them for our job placement features.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT:

Raising awareness about domestic violence is a benefit to everyone. Once the conversation is started, people can learn how to get out of bad situations, and know how to safely help.

Reducing violence reduces health issues, improves study habits, reduces truancy and makes for a more wholly functioning and contributing person to the community.

CHILD/YOUTH EDUCATION: Knowing the signs and how to get help for violence in the home leads to more stable families, and breaks generational trauma. Children are often aware even when we don’t tell them. The sooner they can own their truth and believe in themselves, the stronger they are as a person, and more able to help others.

COMMUNITY PRIDE: To make a house a home, we must create a feeling of safety, helping people to understand that they are not alone, and there is a way out. We can teach each other to be the most helpful in de-escalating a violent situation and making it safe for all.

QUALITY OF LIFE: Community events that share education, joy, and Social interactions are core memories for our children. Getting together for positive change encourages healthy habits and friendships. Friendships inspire care and concern for one another, and that is what a good life is made of. When tv and the internet are filled with all kinds of violence and bad decisions, let’s show each other that we care. Violence free homes are directly correlated to less disease.

ARTS, CULTURE, HISTORY, ENTERTAINMENT:

Domestic violence awareness helps us all realize our similarities, as it crosses all lines of color, socio-economic background, and ability. And it helps us realize we are all deserving of loving and caring environments. The plaques and motto signs that will be made will be hung in prominent areas, encouraging everyone to take a chance and do better. Also, helping survivors realize art outlets to work through trauma will foster future community arts, and help people celebrate their cultures through artistic expression. We can recognize our history and how knowing it can help us shape a better future. Fostering a safe community allows entertainment to flourish, as people feel safe to express themselves in a safe environment.

BUSINESS/ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: see opening of paper: our program will immediately help to alleviate the overreaching community pains and lasting scars that domestic violence has on each of us, and the workforce of our city. Additionally, with more manufacturing equipment for classes, Kitncut will be able to gainfully employ at least 5 more people over 2 years while Application #89
ITEM 12.2. ATTACHMENT 2

Page 1484 of 1542 ends

increasing production capability to 500%. This falls in line with our placement on the state and county contracts vendor lists, and ability to employ DV survivors.

WORKFORCE/ECONOMIC IMPACT OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN THE COMMUNITY:
● Victims of intimate partner violence lose a total of 8.0 million days of paid work each year.6
● The cost of intimate partner violence exceeds $8.3 billion per year.6 ● Between 21-60% of victims of intimate partner violence lose their jobs due to reasons stemming from the abuse.6
● Between 2003 and 2008, 142 women were murdered in their workplace by their abuser, 78% of women killed in the workplace during this timeframe.4

PHYSICAL/MENTAL IMPACT
● Women abused by their intimate partners are more vulnerable to contracting HIV or other STI’s due to forced intercourse or prolonged exposure to stress.7
● Studies suggest that there is a relationship between intimate partner violence and depression and suicidal behavior.7
● Physical, mental, and sexual and reproductive health effects have been linked with intimate partner violence including adolescent pregnancy, unintended pregnancy in general, miscarriage, stillbirth, intrauterine hemorrhage, nutritional deficiency, abdominal pain and other gastrointestinal problems, neurological disorders, chronic pain, disability, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as Application #89
ITEM 12.2. ATTACHMENT 2

Page 1485 of 1542 ends

noncommunicable diseases such as hypertension, cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Victims of domestic violence are also at higher risk for developing addictions to alcohol, tobacco, or drugs.7 You’ve seen it happen, or maybe you heard it through a wall. Someone got hit, someone is screaming, or you heard a thud that made your heart drop.

Why does it matter? How is it your problem? You’ve heard it before: ”Mind your business; what are you looking at? You want next?” Abusers tell us it isn’t our problem. But really, it's our only chance.

It’s our world. No one will fix it for us. We are all one human race, whether we realize it or not, and we have to start sticking up for each other, or we will be next. Granted, we can’t always put ourselves in harm’s way for another- I mean, would it make the abuser stop or would they go for you, too? If you called the cops would they show up soon enough, or would they know which person was the aggressor? This is no new fight. It can be confusing when we live in a war fueled world, but it is really only a coward that wants to hit someone out of anger.

Just 5 sick days (the average number of dv callouts by survivors per year, over the allotted sick days) for 10 employees (a conservative number of employees experiencing domestic violence on average in a 100 person company) can cost a company over a million dollars in revenue. This doesn't even touch on the impact it has on bystanders and loved ones that are witness to the violence, and the hopelessness that individuals throughout the community feel when faced with how to make a change or a difference without endangering themselves.

Abusers are lost in their trauma. It is up to them to change. Even leaving abuse, sometimes people do not yet possess the tools to change into what they want to be. A lot of those tools are books and conversations, and when we think we are alone, or that our pain is the worst, as James Baldwin said, we can open a book and see that our suffering is the human condition.

EQUIPPING RANCHO CORDOVA WITH THE TOOLS TO MAKE SAFE AND HEALTHY DECISIONS.

The answer is in the mechanics of our wiring. Just like any job, handyman, or craftsman… any worker needs to be equipped with the proper tools, special tools of building a safe city, where we feel safe to still be the “city of play.” Domestic Violence affects everyone and so it will take a commitment from everyone to help change the narrative. Rancho Cordova is a young city, full of young people, and it’s our chance to turn the tide. Women have traditionally been kept from education in many parts of the world, yes, even Application #89
ITEM 12.2. ATTACHMENT 2

Page 1486 of 1542 ends

here… some even being taken away from their homelands and transferred over here with no knowledge of how to speak the language, and no links to resources, let alone where to begin to find them. These women are the backbone of our society, someone’s daughter; someone’s mother, someone’s sister, someone’s wife. Each and every one deserves the chance to support herself at the task she chooses.

We are proposing a support service of immediate and ongoing outreach to supply women and children with self defense access and
mindfulness/situational awareness training to lead to employment.

Included is at least 2 community-based domestic violence and anti racism trainings, to empower women to financial independence and security, with translators offered. This will be accomplished with working models of women- owned businesses as mentors, consulting support, and at least 4 woman- led technical training sessions. These will lead to careers in manufacturing at local companies here in Rancho Cordova through the California Mobility Center support of job placement services.

As seen in the statistics above, helping to end domestic violence helps solidify the local economy by reducing turnover and encouraging safety and accountability from all of us. Having people with stable relationships gives the community people that keep their jobs and keep roles filled so that business can keep going. We intend to do mass marketing, show up at every community event to do giveaways of supplies that they will let us attend, especially Kids Day in the Park, Hoppin at Hagan, and Bliss Marketplace, also Fusion Rose First Thursday. We will also complete targeted marketing to all houses of worship in the area, and all women’s and local groups. In addition to the education, we will offer a stress buster/ art break at the booths for trauma survivors and anyone who wants to partake. A focus will be on womeninmanufacturing.org and their 3 day summit on October 8th. We would like to sponsor tickets for a certain number of individuals for their virtual offering, and also offer scholarships to the King Center’s Online Course offerings to interested parties.

Our overreaching, long-term goal is to build a comprehensive domestic violence awareness and abolishment campaign to raise public safety and awareness. This will span the next ten years, and culminate in the housing of Rancho Cordova’s own Nonviolent Communication Center for Family Health.

This is based on the teachings of NVC of Dr Martin Luther King Jr and the King Center In Georgia that focus on attacking the root causes of poverty like Application #89

unemployment, domestic violence, and lack of resources and education. * Community connectedness refers to the nature and quality of engagement among community members, including individuals, families, neighborhoods, groups, organizations, institutions, and social networks (i.e., schools, cultural-based organizations, faith communities, social media). It involves the relationships people have with each other as well as their level of engagement with the broader community. In connected communities, members gain a sense of belonging, purpose, and mattering from the experience of both deriving value from and adding value to their community.

Stronger connections increase a person’s sense of hope and self-worth, and the ability to cope adaptively in the face of adversity. As a result, community connectedness is a protective factor that enhances well-being, fosters resilience, and promotes prevention.

A connected community is where people build relationships, strong social networks, and thrive.https://preventipv.org

Project Information
Project Name
Rancho Cordova Elk's Facilitiy Improvements ‐ for Use by Local Fundraising Entities Project Synopsis
The Elk’s Lodge is an ideal place to host local fundraising events. Elk’s is requesting funds to improve the kitchen capacity, efficiency and to reduce operating expenses. With a great location just off Sunrise Blvd just 4 miles south of Highway 50, a large main dining/meeting room, parking on site, a full service bar and complete commercial kitchen ‐ the Lodge can be adapted to provide the ideal location for any number of events at a significantly lower cost than commercial providers.

Project Description
It is difficult to find locations in the Rancho Cordova area that provide meeting space, access, parking and a full commercial kitchen to provide a location for non‐profit events that support the community – and at an affordable price. Elk’s cannot currently fund the improvements to improve capacity and the flexability needed to support a variety of events. But with a small amount of funding, this Lodge can provide a significant asset to the Community. The Rancho Cordova Elk’s Lodge has most basic items needed to support a variety of events. Currently the Elk’s host 50 to 60 events per year. That leaves over 300 days per year that the Lodge can be available for non‐profit organizations to host fundraising, educational seminars, shows, or other events. Costs can be kept to a minimum, with no mark‐up on food costs or labor – straight pass through on support costs and a minimal rate to cover Lodge operating expenses (estimating 15 – 20% of revenues). The current Lodge has some shortcomings that should be addressed to maximize it’s potential. The Kitchen has a limited capacity to provide enough meals in a timely manner, and to adapt to a variety of uses. The only griddle is small, and needs to be replaced with a larger unit for breakfast and quick meal preparation. The dishwasher is undersized and it’s capacity is not adequate for proposed needs. Upgrading and adding several other appliances will also improve the capacity and flexibility of use (coffee maker, cleaning equipment, a food warming steam‐table, sneeze‐guards, cold salad bar table, etc.) A successful project will provide a great location with the equipment needed to support a variety of events and the lowest cost, with minimal energy use and overhead. The community will benefit for years to come across a wide array of needs. Any small investment can contribute to a number of future events and needs.

2 Project Goals
To allow for tracking of the events and success, the following metrics can be tracked for each event. 1. Event Sponsor 2. Number of attendees 3. Gross sales revenue for all event related sales 4. Total cost of goods sold and any labor to support the event 5. Net proceeds after a percent sharing agreements with Elk’s (fully disclosed) 6. Attendee feedback will be requested and tracked (quality of the food, service and overall facility ranking). A successful year will show increasing use of the Lodge, larger and more efficient fundraising events (actual dollars provided as a result of the event) and community awareness of the capabilities of the facilities and it’s Elk’s members and supporters. Also, by providing a central location for events, it is hoped that like minded supporters of Rancho Cordova non‐profits ‐ may join the Elks and increase the pool of talent and experience available to further support the community going forward.

Project Information
Project Name
Sacramento Children’s Museum Exterior Entryway Enhancements Project Synopsis
Sacramento Children’s Museum requests $194,652 in funding to renovate the Museum’s exterior entryway – adding a new colorful canopy and a seating area bench at the main entrance – to make the building more identifiable as the Sacramento Children’s Museum and to create a more captivating Museum entry experience for visitors.

Project Description
Sacramento Children’s Museum (SCM) requests $194,652 in funding support to renovate the Museum’s exterior front entrance.

There are two components to this project. The first is the construction of an exterior canopy above the entrance doors. This canopy will be composed of aluminum columns and beams draped with woven wire mesh panels in the Museum’s brand colors. The second component is the addition of a concrete seating area bench outside the front doors. This seating area bench will match that at the entrance to Rancho Cordova City Hall, with a gathering area in front. This project supports the City’s focus area of Arts, Culture, History, and Entertainment. As the first and only children’s museum of its kind in the Greater Sacramento region, Sacramento Children’s Museum is a favorite family destination for Rancho Cordova residents and families from afar. Because we are such a regional draw, it is in our best interests for our building to stand out, and these renovations would achieve that goal. This new exterior entryway design will differentiate the building from others nearby and make the building more identifiable as a Children’s Museum. This also has the potential to draw in more families who simply pass by the Museum. These transformations also will enhance the Museum experience for the thousands of children and adults who visit each year. The colorful canopy will provide guests with a glimpse of the playful adventures awaiting them inside, leaving a lasting impact for children and their families. The outdoor seating bench area is another great addition for guests. It can serve as a gathering area for school field trips, family picnics, and outdoor Museum‐led programs.

Project Team
The project designer is Marthe Aston, RID, NCIDQ, of Aston Design, and the contractor is MarketOne Builders, Inc. Sharon Stone Smith, SCM’s Executive Director, will oversee the project.

Project Information
Project Name
Empowering Our Peace‐Keepers to De‐escalation
Project Synopsis
Our police operate on outdated training that relies heavily on gun usage. We propose to enforce the training of officers to de escalation techniques. We purport to accomplish this by having Jiu Jitsu trainer and author, Tom Deblass in for a conference to teach against use of excessive force. This, pared with training from the Dr. King Center, in Georgia, will keep our communities safer and our police relevant to our ever growing people of color residents. Dr. King Center is on board and looking forward to the conversations.

Project Description
The project will consist of coordinating a visit and seminar for all the RC police with the King Center for Peace out of Georgia, and Jiu Jitsu instructor and motivational speaker and author, Tom Deblass. Travel and lodging and seminar price will be covered, and we would like to host Q and A for the officers with both parties. LEVERAGE: We will partner with and encourage local jiu jitsu gym owners to attend, so they can further the lessons offered by Tom. We will leverage existing mental health services in the community to bridge the divide of reactive to responsive in our officers. The Non‐Violent Communication talks will be continued by John Brewer, certified NVC specialist in town. COMMUNITY BENEFIT: The de‐escalation techniques already being taught would help our officers stay safer in dangerous situations, giving them more tools to communicate with people they are in contact with. This will empower police officers and give them pride in their ability to not discharge their weapons unnecessarily. Quality of life: 40% of cops abuse their spouses. This training will not only help them to de escalate on the job, but also at home, creating healthier generations Arts, culture, history: When a community is less violent, arts flourish. People feel safe to create. This directly enhances the beauty of the town and the people that live in it. We can be a huge part of history and lead the way for the country to a more relevant police unit, safer for all. Business\economic development:. Providing police with NVC and deescalation techniques, and holding them accountable to use them, will encourage economic growth. No one likes to live where the cops are known to be aggressive.

Businesses will want to open here, knowing the cops won’t arrive with guns drawn.

Project Information
Project Name
Black Child Legacy Campaign Rancho Cordova Service Extension Project Synopsis
For decades, Black children have died at higher rates than other children in Sacramento County, a tragic, shameful and preventable loss of precious lives. These persistent disparities reflect systemic racism and the barriers it creates to the health and life chances of Black children. To address the disparities and break down the barriers, Sacramento County’s Board of Supervisors asked The Center at Sierra Health Foundation, working with community leaders, public officials, and advocates, to create a plan for change. In response, the Black Child Legacy Campaign (BCLC) was launched in 2015 with the goal of saving children’s lives by transforming community systems of support. Currently, seven neighborhoods within the City of Sacramento ‐ Arden‐Arcade; Del Paso Heights/North Sacramento; Fruitridge/Stockton Boulevard; Meadowview; North Highlands/Foothill Farms; Oak Park; and, Valley Hi – have full‐fledged BCLC operations and offer a comprehensive menu of programs and services managed by seven community‐based organizations (CBO) in each respective neighborhood. Greater Sacramento Urban League is the CBO leading the BCLC efforts in Oak Park. While our formal, and priority service population is residents of Oak Park, a significant number of Rancho Cordova residents come to our Oak Park office for services and to participate in our programs. However, due to the strictures of our BCLC funding agreement and limited staff capacity, we are not always able to provide the level of support and allow participation in our programs to residents of Rancho Cordova to the extent needed or to meet demand. An award of Ranco Cordova Community Enhancement and Investment Funds will allow us to provide fuller and better services and program participation to Ranco Cordova residents reaching out to us in Oak Park, as well as allow us to actually deliver services and offer programs on occasion physically within the City of Rancho Cordova.

Project Description
BCLC uses five strategies to spark its transformational goals: building community advocacy for anti‐racist, pro‐community policies; advancing equitable investment and systemic impact; coordinating systems of support for children and their families; establishing a system of accountability and collective impact; and creating communications that spur neighborhood pride and activism.

2 The project team is led by Jedida Gomes, GSUL Director of Health & Quality of Life Empowerment, and also includes GSUL Oak Park staff members Christopher Clark (also Folsom‐Cordova Unified Board of Education), a crisis intervention worker and a case manager.

The Oak Park office houses a County of Sacramento probation officer and asocial service worker who are assigned full‐time to support the BCLC effort.

Project Goals
The Black Child Legacy Campaign (BCLC) has the goal of saving children’s lives by transforming community systems of support.

Fulfillment of the BCLC's goal is not only already saving children from dying but also building community capacity to end the generational cycle of trauma and heartbreak. By starting with community leadership and advocacy and building an infrastructure of care for children and their families, it is possible to change the trajectory of tragedy for Black children and families in Sacramento County and Rancho Cordova, specifically, with funding support from the city's Community Enhancement and Investment Fund. BCLC draws on the power inherent in Black communities to provide a legacy of health, pride, and love to our children.

Funding Request
Funds are generally not intended to be used for deferred maintenance and ongoing operational needs. The funds are intended for community enhancement & investment.

Total Project Cost
$110,000 for Rancho Cordova‐specific program and service extension. The overall BCLC cost is $442,000 annually.

Estimated Breakdown of Project Expenditures
‐ Rancho Cordova‐designated BCLC team member (.75 FTE) wages and benefits: $45,000; this is a new hire ‐ Rancho Cordova‐held Program/Event costs: $17,500 ‐ Rancho Cordova‐specific Supplies/Materials/Printing/Marketing costs: $7,500 ‐ GSUL Overhead/Administration: $40,000
Matching Funds
The Center at Sierra Health Foundation provides $400,000 annually for the BCLC efforts in Oak Park. GSUL anticipates leveraging this funding to cover an estimated $40,000 in our overhead/administration costs incurred by the Rancho Cordova service extension.

Project Information
Project Name
Pack 387 Pinewood Derby/ Space Derby Tracks
Project Synopsis
Pack 387 is in need of a pinewood derby and space derby track so our scouts can participate in these annual pack events. We currently have to borrow a track from another pack in the pocket area so we can hold these events.

Project Description
One of the most popular events that people think of when looking back on their Cub Scouting past is the Pinewood Derby. Pack 387 is a new pack in Rancho Cordova located down the street from city hall, making us 1 of 3 Cub Scout packs in the Rancho Cordova area. We are looking to provide a Pinewood Derby and Space Derby track for the Scouts of Pack 387, the tracks will be used for our annual Pinewood Derby and Space Derby races. These events teach our youth about camaraderie and sportsmanship as well as experience the sense of accomplishment and excitement of competition. These tracks would also be a great event to bring out for youth events in Rancho Cordova that Pack 387 participate in.

Subject: Measure H Community Enhancement and Investment Fund 2022-23 To: City Enhancement Board
I am in support of Cub Scout Pack 387 requesting funding for (1) pinewood derby track and (2) space derby track. Cub Scout Pack 387 was re-established in Rancho Cordova after the former Pack was reabsorbed into Pack 380 and under the Rosemont and South Sacramento/Elk Grove area during the Golden Empire Council re-districting of area District boundaries.

Robert Young, the current Cub Master of Pack 387, was an original member of Pack 387 and is an accomplished Eagle Scout and trained leader and Camp Committee Chair in the Golden Empire Council.

He is an active member of our community and working to rebuild and grow this new pack. Cub scouts are recruited through current members (i.e. school friends) as well as public community events (i.e. Kids Day in the Park).

The equipment request is essential to having quality driven events that the current scouts and future scouts will be able to utilize and enjoy for many years to come. The Pack is very new and they have had very little opportunity to fundraise in these past two years of covid restrictions. It is our hope to reach as many of our local youth as possible and get them involved in scouting at an early age. If you have ever been to one of these events, you can see why they are popular and enjoyed by scouts, siblings, parents, friends and neighbors.

I am a former Cub Scout Leader, parent of an Eagle Scout, a current Committee Member of a local Scout Troop and the Chartered Org Representative of this young Cub Scout Pack. We are committed to ensure that this youth organization continues to receive support through training, volunteers and community support activities.

Thank you for your time and for consideration for funding this well-deserved organization.

Build a Light Sculpture!
This project proposes a semester-long program tailored for seventh and eight graders to teach them about methods and technology involved in the fabrication of an acrylic light sculptures. Each class session will be 60 to 90 minutes long and held once per week. The light sculpture will consist of 8 acrylic panels vertically attached to a 3D printed base. A row of LED lights embedded in the base below each panel will illuminate the panels through their edges, causing the patterns drawn or engraved on the panels to glow. The LEDs will be addressable, meaning that the color and brightness of each LED can be programmatically altered to allow for varying animated light patterns. The light patterns will be controlled by a smartphone connected to the art piece through a dedicated Wi-Fi connection on the phone. The students will build the sculpture during the final sessions of the semester and will see how the elements and technology learned throughout the semester will apply to the sculpture.

NorCal School of the Arts outreach program proposes to provide every classroom at Williamson Elementary School with 10 theatre arts and social-emotional learning (SEL) integrated classes as well as an after school production for students wanting to engage in further after school theatre arts programming. Grant funds provided by the City will enable NorCal School of the Arts to serve more than 500 students during school in the Fall of 2022. During the Spring of 2023, students will have the option to participate in an after-school program that will culminate in a fully-produced musical at the school. NorCal teaching artists are trained in weaving SEL strategies into theatre arts lessons. These classes will also act as a professional development opportunity for the Williamson Elementary classroom teachers to learn how to integrate SEL strategies through theatre arts.

Teachers will have access to all the curriculum and Theatre/SEL-Integrated resources to continue the exercises once the program is completed.

Orchestra Expansion
(This application is tied to
Cordova Recreation & Park
District Property.) *Council
Member Recusal
This proposed project builds on progress in 2021/22, the pilot year of the Cordova Youth Spotlight Orchestra (CYSO). It expands student membership from 24 to 32 students. It opens beginning strings to all elementary grades. Based on learnings from the pilot, this project increases the frequency of classes from once to twice a week and seeks funds to pay all student tuition and supplies. Twenty-four scholarship students completed one year of instruction: 11 in orchestra and 13 in beginning strings. These students want to continue developing their skills, and new students are needed to expand the orchestra by 30% to 32 members or more. This project extends the beginning strings class to all elementary grades with parent participation required for students in grades 1 through 3 and encouraged for grades 4 through 6. In 2021, almost half of the CYSO applicants were elementary students who had no experience playing a musical instrument. Sacramento Performing Arts Conservancy accommodated them by adding a beginning strings class. By the end of the year, four beginning students were promoted to the orchestra, and beginning strings students outnumbered orchestra students.

Students will receive instruction twice a week for 34 weeks beginning in September 2022 and ending in May 2023. Like the pilot project, students will perform at least two concerts for the Rancho Cordova community.

Additional mini concerts were held during the pilot project and are likely to be held again. $22,000 $20,000 Recommended for funding similar to
that of other performing arts

Imperial Winds
Mandarins proposes to introduce “Imperial Winds”, a winter performing arts ensemble focusing on brass and woodwind instruments, to be based in Rancho Cordova. Winter Winds ensembles present an original show each year, approximately 8–10 minutes in length, and refine it throughout the winter season. Shows are performed and are judged in various musical and visual categories. Musical repertoires vary widely among corps and include symphonic, jazz, big band, contemporary, rock, wind band, vocal, rap, Broadway, and Latin music, among other genres. Winter Winds ensembles do not have any required instrumentation. In fact, there are purposely less regulations and restrictions against winds groups, in regard to instrumentation. These less stringent rules exist in order to encourage experimentation and freedom of expression. Winds groups also often incorporate percussion elements and guard elements into their performances, resulting in a unique mix of electric synergy. Imperial Winds will address a current need in the community – high schools in Rancho Cordova only offer winter percussion and winter guard programs and Sacramento State only offers an independent winter percussion group. It will be open to all interested woodwind and brass players between the ages of 16-23 years of age. Experience camps will be held in November and December during which students will have the opportunity to hone the musical skills and learn basic movements used in the performances. In January, any interested student is eligible to audition for the forty available competitive openings in the ensemble. The ensemble will continue to practice and perfect their music and visual performance as a team. $20,050 $20,000 Recommended for funding similar to
that of other performing arts

Musical Production and InClass Theatre Arts
Sacramento Theatre Company teaching artists work alongside classroom teachers, and will introduce theatre arts integration concepts and techniques that will also enhance the teacher's ability to teach their students.

This proposed program also engages parent and community participation with set building days, creating props and costumes, and helping with publicity. Decades of research demonstrates participation in theatre arts offers students a toolbox of fundamental skills that will enhance their ability to succeed in school and beyond. The benefits of theatre arts education for low-income children are especially profound. Specifically, studies have shown that theatre arts instruction and the creative process associated with theatre helps students to better succeed at school as they garner new ways of learning, creating, and focusing. This is a semester long-afterschool theatre arts program. The project proposal includes professional development for the teachers in Theatre Arts Integration strategies for the classroom. In the 2021-2022 school year, STC was funded at White Rock Elementary School through a grant and funding would ensure their presence for another year. The program begins with theatre classes in every classroom for the purpose of engaging student interest in theatre arts prior to the start of the after-school program as well as to provide alternative arts integration methods to teach math, English and science through the arts to reach multiple learning styles. $20,000 $0 Not recommended for funding.

Drumline intends to teach students how to become active members in a working and performing percussion ensemble. This course intends to attract those students who are less apt to sign-up for traditional band/orchestra courses, while continuing to offer the same fundamental musical training that motivates and inspires positive creativity. All students will learn to play and will be expected to demonstrate competency on battery percussion (snare/bass/tenor-drums), and orchestral percussion (marimba/xylophone/bells/timpani etc.). Grades are based on participation, attendance, practice, and rehearsal technique. Drumline performs at concerts, assemblies, school rallies and sporting events throughout the school year. Their sporting events attract members of the Rancho Cordova Community who will hear, see, and experience the community pride represented by Mills performance drumline. Drumline shows are cross-curricular in that they incorporate dance and movement, theatrical performance, and artistic set-design to create a narrative or explore a theme. Such productions are a reflection of the opportunities to celebrate and exchange ideas and interests unique to community culture, demonstrating positive personal and cultural awareness. Drumline will aid in creating repertoire for school and community building such as pep-rallies and athletic events.

Leagues Promo Campaign
2022-23
The project would provide funds to the Cordova Community Council to assist the Rancho Cordova Athletic Association (RCAA) to continue efforts to improve and expand promotion of youth sports leagues in the City of Rancho Cordova. The project will utilize digital and traditional outreach efforts to boost the profile of youth sports leagues, including collaborative efforts which include mass distribution of flyers, development of high quality and effective signage and an expanded means to extend information to grow year-to-year league participation by 5 percent. This project will build upon previous upgrading of youth sports leagues digital profiles at www.rcathletics.org. The elevation of publicity for youth sports is critical to success for these leagues. During league COVID shutdowns, Rancho Cordova recreational leagues reported that many families have left their leagues to play in “pay to play” private leagues, especially among older players. Leagues will need to be rebuilt with younger players and parents with less experience in skills such as coaching and officiating. This is a nationwide challenge of the post-COVID era. This proposal would also continue to expand the outreach to schools in Rancho Cordova that are part of the Elk Grove and Sacramento City Unified school districts. $42,000 $42,000 Recommended to receive full grant

Sacfit: Parkway Half
Marathon
Sacfit proposes to continue funding of the Parkway Half Marathon and Otter Run to align as a first-class major active-lifestyle event with the City of Rancho Cordova. There are two components of the request. First, maintain the start and finish line configuration from the previous year’s grant, which considers the start line in William Pond Park (to facilitate larger volume parking accommodations) and all finish lines and the entire Kid's Otter Dash within the Rancho Cordova City limits. The section along the American River Parkway, from River Bend to Sunrise, is the main route for the Parkway Half Marathon. A grant to continue the Parkway Half Marathon route and finish line within the Rancho Cordova City limits aligns the City with a major running event, as well as a meets the goal of having a community health a fitness event. The alignment of the Parkway Half Marathon with Rancho Cordova elevates the City as a primary regional supporter of the Parkway. Having the race route and finish line within the City and connected to other existing events should be beneficial to all local residents. Second, maintain support for the Kid’s 1k “Otter Dash" run. The goal is to align this event to the morning of Kids’ Day in the Park. As Kids’ Day is no cost to participants, the object is to continue with keeping the Otter Run at no charge to all Rancho Cordova children as well. $15,000 $10,000 Recommended for event

37 Education 916 Ink: Find Your Voice
Creative Writing Workshop
Series
916 Ink will partner with classroom teachers to provide high-quality, creative writing workshops for 175 third through twelfth grade students. Each student will receive 18 hours of California arts and common core standards-aligned instruction with trained teaching artists and become a published author in an anthology of student work. Find Your Voice is a semester-length, school site–based program. Students generate original poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. 916 Ink releases one anthology of student work per school site at the conclusion of each program. During the COVID-19 pandemic, 916 Ink's staff found that students were struggling to process their feelings of anxiety and social isolation due to the shift to distance-learning and the suspension of many wraparound services that schools provided. Using best practices in trauma-informed curriculum design, 916 Ink staff pivoted quickly to design a series of creative writing lessons. Students develop social emotional learning skills through interactive writing prompts, revision-based activities, and lessons in literary devices. This helps students realize the impact of obstacles, relationships, and decisions they make.

Our workshop method creates a safe environment for exploration and experimentation for participating students. The writing and sharing of stories builds empathy, increases confidence, and gives youth the agency to understand the power of their personal narratives. We structure our workshops to stimulate social emotional learning, including small group settings, peer collaboration and reflection exercises, multiple modes of response, active listening practice and peer-to-peer feedback. $52,507 $47,000 Recommended for funding at the

Students identified by school staff, teachers, and the MACH program coordinator, are invited to participate in the program. Students receive guidance and direction to help get them on or keep them on a positive path. Participants earn rewards for demonstrating improvement in their attendance, grades, and/or behavior as well as for participating in community service opportunities. Rewards include educational experiences, school based rewards, and social rewards. MACH participants attend weekly meetings where expectations are set, guest speakers from the community deliver life skill or messages about particular vocations, and program participants share and celebrate their successes. Monthly Saturday support sessions and weekly group tutoring sessions are held to provide participants with homework support as needed. Funding is being requested for the continuation of the year-round MACH program at Cordova High School to include an increase in the funding in the educational rewards category so that we can take selected MACH members on a field trip to the Museum of Tolerance to participate in their full day Tools for Tolerance Teen workshop; for the continuation and further development of the MACH @ Mills program that was implemented in 2021; and to expand the MACH program to include Mitchell Middle School. Beyond the immediate benefit the students participating in the program receive through the rewards they earn and the successes they achieve, the community at large benefits through the reduction in behavioral issues in the community amongst participants and through their contributions as volunteers. $103,000 $85,000 Recommended for funding at a level

Watershed Stewardship
Program with George
Washington Carver School
of Arts & Science
The Student and Landowner Education and Watershed Stewardship (SLEWS) program engages high school students in habitat restoration through a series of hands-on field days at real projects that develop science skills and environmental stewardship in youth. Through this program, they would work with students from George Washington Carver School of Arts and Science to complete a restoration project that would incorporate hands-on, place-based, environmental education activities. SLEWS connects classroom learning to the real world to enhance high school education and provides students with transformative experiences in nature to increase their appreciation, commitment and respect for sustainable agriculture and the natural world. SLEWS staff recruit and train volunteers from non-profits, public agencies, and universities to mentor students throughout their SLEWS year. In the program, students “adopt” their restoration site for the duration of the school year, visiting and working on the project for three or more full-day field trips. Through hands-on activities such as water quality and bird box monitoring, students develop science and inquiry skills needed for lifelong learning. Because they partner with restoration professionals from public agencies, local watershed groups, and nonprofit organizations, SLEWS projects have a real and lasting impact on the land. Since its inception, students have planted over 75,021 native trees/shrubs, 332,967 grass/forbs plugs, and installed 827 wildlife structures. By including students in habitat restoration, SLEWS addresses the needs for healthier land and more wildlife habitat, and the need to instill conservation and stewardship values in high school students. With grant funds, they would be able to expand the SLEWS Program to include Carver and offer local youth these experiences.

45 Education FCUSD: Enhanced Family
Life Education for Cordova
High School Students
The health education staff at Cordova High School would like to purchase parent simulator dolls to provide hands-on parenting experience. The goal is to educate students about the responsibility of caring for a baby and the importance of preventing pregnancy until ready to take on the responsibility of parenting. According to Sacramento County Public Health, In 2018, the teen birth rate was 5.5 births for every 1,000 females ages 15-

19. An estimated eight percent of young men will become fathers before their 20th birthday. Teen pregnancy has a significant impact economically. Teen parenting costs taxpayers an average of $5,500 per year for each teen parent. Teen parents and their children usually require an increased amount of public service support throughout their entire lives related to behavioral problems, chronic medical conditions, and increased need for foster care. The economy also has lost tax revenue due to the teen mom having low academic achievement which often leads to the mom being unemployed or underemployed. One effective way to prevent teen pregnancy is through comprehensive family life education. Comprehensive family life education includes topics about healthy relationships and methods to prevent pregnancy; including abstinence and proper use of birth control. Per California law, high school students must receive family life education at least one time during high school. The family life curriculum that is taught in the health classes is Positive Prevention Plus which is an evidence-based curriculum that is compliant with California’s law. $5,000 $0 Not recommended for funding.

47 Education FCUSD: Book Recovery
and Expansion
During the 2020-21 and 2021-22 school years, FCUSD library staff encouraged families to check out books from their school library. This initiative helped curb learning loss, contributed to social-emotional learning while at home, and emboldened students to continue their love of reading despite distancing from one of their favorite places on campus. This was a successful campaign, as thousands of books went home with students at curbside pickups. Due to circumstances beyond families’ and the district's control, many of these books did not return to campus. Several titles were school libraries’ most popular novels, non-fiction texts and picture books. They would like to recover these lost books with the help of grant funding. In Rancho Cordova, 22 percent of students met or exceeded state reading standards. In Folsom, 52 percent of students met or exceeded state reading standards. According to the American Association of School Libraries, when spending for libraries rises, better reading scores follow. Furthermore, the average age of Rancho Cordova school library collections is 1999, which is a 23-year-old collection. This means many non-fiction books are outdated and need replacement titles for factually accurate information. New titles, which better reflect student background and life experience, ought to be added to library collections. As an educational institution, newly purchased titles are essential so that they can align themed and non-fiction books to supplement their curriculum and select material that reflects each school’s population. Their request is for one additional new library-bound book per Rancho Cordova student this year, with the goal to fully realize a 20:1 ratio in four years. This is a multiyear request.

49 Education Save the Snakes: Snakes
to Schools Project
The Snakes to School project seeks to educate elementary through high school-aged students, teachers, parents, and other outdoor enthusiasts in the Sacramento region about snake ecology, snake conservation, and snakebite first aid. Although there is only one venomous snake (the Northern Pacific rattlesnake) in the Sacramento area, encounters with them are common and serious rattlesnake bites do occur. Many snakes that live in human occupied areas are killed regardless of if they are harmful or not, because of fear. Snakes play a crucial role in ecosystems by maintaining ecosystem health and environments, however, their role is often highly overlooked. To address these issues, Save The Snakes seeks to empower our community members to safely coexist with snakes through their education and outreach programs. Their community of wildlife biologists and educators will implement all objectives of the Snakes to Schools project to mitigate human-snake conflict in the Sacramento area through effective education about snake ecology and wildlife conservation. The overall goals of the Snakes to Schools project are to successfully educate communities and learners about snakes found in the Sacramento area, which will build awareness and understanding of snakes, reduce snakebite, and lessen conflict between humans and snakes.

Campers will attend a 1-week camp, Monday - Friday from 8:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m., in groups of 15 where youth will design and implement climate-smart solutions aimed at improving air/water quality and/or natural habitats where they live. They hope to run camp this summer for three weeks and next summer for four to five weeks.

During the week-long camp, each day they will cover topics related to climate change including but not limited to: air quality, water, energy, transportation, food/consumption/waste, land use, and natural habitats. The campers will visit local sites for hands-on guided experiences related to these topics. Campers will sample and collect data, gaining experience using some of the tools and materials that scientists and engineers use in their work. Campers will get the chance to engage with professional environmental scientists, engineers, social scientists, and environmental protection activists to learn about their careers and what they did to work in their specific fields of expertise. After the camp, Splash will convene YELC campers monthly in a 2-hour after-school club for the remainder of the 12-month rolling year. Campers will work together on a team project that will have a positive impact on the environment and climate in their community. They will learn about project management, from identifying & defining a problem, to planning & budgeting, project implementation and measuring their success and impact. Throughout the process, they will have the support of mentors and staff.

Splash will provide a small project budget for each team to use in implementation of their team project. Projects will be brainstormed, developed, and led by campers in groups of 4-6.

In this proposal, the Sacramento Valley Live Steamers Railroad Museum, in collaboration with the City of Rancho Cordova, and the Cordova Recreation and Park District, intends to invest in the community through the construction of a locomotive storage building adjacent to the Hagan community barn for the secure keeping of the museum's locomotives. After 45-years of existence in Rancho Cordova, parents and grandparents bring their families to ride on the same train they have fond memories of enjoying as a child. To keep the trains moving down the track, the locomotives need a house for protection and shelter between run days. The museum has outgrown the capacity of existing storage facilities. In addition to the security the building will bring, the structure will also serve as an educational aid demonstrating to children and visitors what was once a common sight in towns throughout our nation, the locomotive house. The locomotive storage building is designed to be reminiscent of a locomotive house that might have been seen on one of California’s many short line railroads. Such a building existed at the terminus of the (former) Southern Pacific line that traverses Rancho Cordova up to Folsom and then to Placerville. This structure has been designed to meet the current need for locomotive storage and the foreseen needs of the museum's future in Rancho Cordova. $338,634 $0 Not recommended for funding.

In this proposal, Rancho Cordova Food Locker (RCFL) plans to purchase and install two large refrigeration units (a cooler and a freezer) to handle the increased quantities of frozen foods provided by Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services and other local businesses and private donors. RCFL plans to use grant funds for two purposes. First, to design, purchase, and install new commercial-grade refrigeration equipment in the most appropriate location(s) to best meet operational needs. The new refrigeration equipment would be pallet-jackfriendly. The two units could be collocated either in a newly rented/leased warehouse for food storage and processing, or the cooler could be installed at the current facility instead of the contracted warehouse. The new refrigeration unit would also allow the RCFL to end its lease of one smaller walk-in cooler. The new equipment would greatly expand RCFL’s food-processing capacity and also greatly improve its cost efficiency for storage.

Second, if any grant funds remain after installation of the refrigeration units, RCFL would apply such residual funds toward the monthly rental costs for the off-site contracted warehouse still in the procurement stage. $250,000 $50,000 Recommended to receive partial

The current tent model is discontinued, making it difficult to keep up with the worn parts. A major component of the scouting program is camping and being in the outdoors. Troop 363 camps every month, including in the snow.

In the summer, they camp up to twice a month. Scouting is designed to take place outdoors. It is in the outdoors that Scouts share responsibilities and learn to live with one another while learning skills that will last a lifetime. Giving back to the community is another aspect of the Scouting program. The Citizenship in the Community Merit Badge is an Eagle Scout required merit badge.

The CCC is currently spending great effort to keep a number of RCAA projects moving forward, but the demands of this expanding effort are growing beyond staff resources currently available to support it. This project envisions a deeper understanding of the demands and importance of this sector and solutions to its most pressing issues. This project would hire a qualified consultant to guide the RCAA in the areas of project management, fundraising and league coordination to advance and enhance youth sports offerings in the City of Rancho Cordova. Youth sports leagues are at a crossroads. Blessed with strong and dedicated leadership for many decades, there is a wide understanding among experienced leaders that over the next few years this cadre will "age out" and likely retire, leaving a big leadership gap. Continuity is a concern which could be alleviated by the formation of a staff position focused on preserving and planning for these eventual transitions. Second, Rancho Cordova is on the cusp of population explosion and more -- not less -- youth sports will be needed to make Rancho Cordova a desirable hometown for young families. A forward-looking plan of how to prepare for this growth is needed.

Third, a crisis of youth sports support infrastructure is looming. A unified system that could address these needs should be developed, however league leaders currently do not have the capacity to address. Fourth, facility development and access issues, fundraising needs and opportunities, unified planning for future needs, unified publicity campaigns and more are fertile grounds for elevating youth sports in the city, making Rancho Cordova a leader in this area.
$45,000 $30,000 Recommended to receive partial
funding at an amount equal to
$30,000.
78 Other Boy Scouts of America:

Troop 1601
Local Troop 1601, the first all-girl troop in Rancho Cordova, was established in 2019. The Troop started up with no camping supplies or tents. Scouts are expected to hold fundraisers to obtain much needed equipment and tents to participate in camping and the outdoors as this is a major component to the Scouting program.

Unfortunately, COVID-19 restrictions and shut-downs prevented the girls from raising the necessary funds to purchase many items to participate in the opportunities. Troop 1601 is requesting funding to purchase new tents for year-round use to include snow camping in the winter. The troop is also in need of a patrol box for setting up a kitchen at campsite, a 3-burner camping stove and three lanterns. Troop 1601 has missed out on opportunities to go snow camping such as the annual Klondike-a competition between troops focused on cold weather activities. While Troop 1601 is relatively new in the Scouting world, they have participated in volunteer activities in Rancho Cordova. The new tents and camp equipment will allow the Troop to deliver a quality outdoor program.
$4,825 $4,800 Recommended to receive partial
funding. Each troop requesting funds
is recommended for $4,800 (or less
if the request was for a lower
amount).
79 Other Rancho Cordova HART:

Winter Sanctuary and
Homeless Services in
Rancho Cordova
Rancho Cordova HART’s mission is to provide services to the homeless in our community by continuing to provide life-changing services. Unhoused neighbors will receive much-needed shelter and services during the coldest months of the year. Funds will be allocated to bus passes, services to provide clients with rental assistance, move-in costs, application/background check fees, and the general operation of the Winter Sanctuary Shelter Program. Citizens and faith communities operate the Winter Sanctuary Shelter Program in Rancho Cordova to provide free overnight shelter, warmth, meals, and connection to mainline health and housing-related services for men and women who are experiencing homelessness in our area during the coldest months of winter. Potential guests are invited to arrive at the intake site each evening during the program to create a consistent meeting place. Guests of the winter sanctuary meet with the outreach navigator and, most importantly, become part of the HART family and Rancho Cordova community. Housing Counseling/Relocation - Rancho Cordova HART partners with Sacramento Self-Help Housing (SSHH) to assist those on the street or in the Winter Shelter Program, to achieve housing. SSHH helps by rapidly connecting clients with landlords, property owners, and housing program options. HART will support by using the grant funds to remove the barriers to housing by covering the costs of security deposits, bus passes, or similar “move-in costs.” These funds will also go to supporting those moving out of the new transitional house. $33,900 $33,900 Recommended to receive full grant
request.

81 Other FCCP: Rancho Resilience
& Reinvestment Project
This proposed project is aimed at supporting Rancho Cordova residents hit the hardest by the economic and social impacts of COVID-19. They will offer wrap-around case-managed coaching services focused on holistic support of each participant's needs. Resource Specialists offering a strengths-based, culturally responsive empowerment model will work with participants toward their financial, educational, employment, housing, domestic violence, recovery and stress reducing goals.

While this program does not only focus on these groups, FCCP has a strong relationship with each community in Rancho and this program will work to help participants help themselves. These supports will build community cohesion through networking, provide a positive outlet for self-discovery, inquiry, understanding and knowledge of support systems available. As each participant deepens in their own goals accomplishment and participation in programs this will provide a socio or economic benefit to the city by promoting community relations, residents’ well-being, safety and increased economic stability.

84 Other FCUSD: Homeless Student
Services
Education is a key element for the success of every great city. Students experiencing homelessness face unique challenges in accessing and succeeding in school. In partnership with the Department of Homeless Student Services of the Folsom Cordova Unified School District they propose to assign a fund to support the most vulnerable students in Rancho Cordova. The Department of Homeless Student Services identifies and supports students experiencing homelessness as described under federal law McKinney Vento Homeless Student Act. This act was enacted in 1987 to ensure that children and youth experiencing homelessness have access to the same free, appropriate public education and services as their non-homeless peers. Homeless Student Services works in collaboration with schools and community partners towards this goal. Gift cards would be purchased and distributed so students can get clothing, shoes, food, etc. This is a multiyear request. $15,000 $15,000 Recommended to receive full grant
request as a multiyear commitment.
85 Other FCUSD: Outdoor
Kindergarten Learning Area
at Cordova Meadows
FCUSD wants to build an outdoor learning area with a shaded structure and tables in the kindergarten playground area at Cordova Meadows Elementary School. There is an area of the kindergarten playground that once housed a large redwood tree. As parts of the tree were dying and creating a safety hazard it had to be removed. Unfortunately, when the tree was removed, the shade it provided was eliminated. Since it has been removed, they would like to turn the area into an inviting, outdoor learning area. If funded, they will cement part of it with tables and a shade structure. In the other part of it, they will include bark and tree stump jumping stones for the students to play on. In this area, they would also put some garden boxes for the children to grow plants.
$27,000 $0 Not recommended for funding.
86 Other Sacramento Valley Spark:

Spark Mobile
In this proposed project, Sacramento Valley Spark will bring interactive games, a cooling center, and neighborhood cleanup tools to community events around the region. The Spark Mobile will provide a flexible platform for taking Sacramento Valley Spark’s unique creative energy to numerous (at least six) Rancho Cordova events over the course of a year. Through the “Spark” drive-thru and “art stops” events Sacramento Valley Spark has shared the art, music and energy of the local Burning Man community. The artistically wrapped Spark Mobile will bring hula hoop lessons, silent disco, and scores of additional interactive games to events in Rancho Cordova and contingent on funding, around the region. In addition to the interactive activities, the spark mobile will include a water tank to provide a cooling zone (misters) and tools to help the community clean up. Sacramento Valley Spark and other groups have taken action to clean up our communities. The truck can support those efforts by providing grabber sticks, buckets and other supplies to these trash pickups. While they envision seeking funding from additional agencies, contingent on funding, they’ll commit to activities at least six Rancho Cordova events.
$10,000 $0 Not recommended for funding.
