Studio T Arts & Entertainment
Supporting Youth & Educators of all subjects
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Through 20+ years of dance and community with area
school districts and community-based organizations,
churches, and Urban Housing developments, Studio T
and the PassToClass platform was created. Our
mission is to help youth develop critical creative and
life skills through exposure to the arts. To inspire them to maintain a positive academic focus through
partnerships with schools in resource starved
communities. We seek to train youth to use the arts
as an entrepreneurial tool to generate income,
creativity, and healing.
Studio T changes the lives of vulnerable youth and their families through the power of the performing arts, culturally-relevant and engaging experiences, and creative entrepreneurship that actually pays young people. Essentially, we transform difficult-to-serve youth who live in low-income, minority communities, into vibrant young leaders who can earn a dollar, pay it forward, and express themselves in positive ways. Sacramentan youth flock to Studio T because it's a place where they can belong, gain hope, and shine joyfully as themselves while gaining upward mobility.
In addition, we run an online learning platform called "Pass to Class" that engages over 192,000 educators across the nation. We bring joy and hope through dance, as well as build self-esteem, creativity, confidence, and an unshakable respect for the arts. Dance is our primary engagement tool-- a culturally relevant way for us to connect with diverse youth-- but we are also a youth development nonprofit. Why? Because when we couple the arts with real-world skill development and enthusiastic empowerment, we witness explosions of academic growth and powerful transformations of entire families. Too many of our families face poverty, hunger, and a systematic lack of opportunity, so our daily work includes financial education, life and social skills training, and entrepreneurship. To that end we provide 3 programs that accompany our dance offerings to divert young people off the streets by giving them skills and a positive social alternative. Our programs are: 1. Side Hustle Academy; 2. PasstoClass.com; and 3. LVL Up Campaign.

PassToClass.com is Ready to use Curriculum
Teachers can use Pass to Class to meet students where they are, right now. It helps students engage their bodies, express their emotions, have a positive association with school, and focus on learning.
Simply log in to PassToClass.com and get quick access to 100+ hours of videos. You can share them in Google Classroom, Canvas, and other learning communities. You can also share links to videos or share them right in the classroom on any monitor or smart board.
Programs include:
The Pass To Class online program also meets California state standards for PE and Visual And Performing Arts (VAPA) in a socially and culturally relevant way.
We are very intentional about the creating content that keeps our educators connected to our youth and our youth connected to school. A vital facet of making this connection is cultural and socially relevant content that youth really want. As well as quality content our educators use to stay connected to the cultural climate of their students. From music to movement, you can trust the quality and integrity of each video. No parental advisory necessary.
We align our work with the VAPA standards for the State of California public schools. We have concentrated our effort for the past 20+ years in developing the following standards through our hip hop dance program. We include foundational hip hop movement that develops motor skills and technical expertise that teaches our students the quality, force, and speed in which they should move. We also teach our students the names of each foundational move, so they are all able to describe, perform, and analyze them.
Our students express themselves while creating choreography, improvisation, and learning choreography without imitating it. We encourage our students to bring their own styles and decisions within the choreography being taught. We also have performances for students to share their growth with their peers and their community. This helps them develop teamwork and a dependence on their peers.
We use aesthetic valuing by having our students give constructive criticism back to one another when performing in front of each other. We package this in a “hype circle” format. We also share dance videos that help them see movement, set design, costuming, and lighting, which helps them with aesthetic choices. Based on past success of Studio T Arts graduates, we know our students can create career paths in performing arts today. We also connect dance with school subjects such as math and audiovisual such as recording Tik Tok's and other videos for social media. They learn how to perform on these platforms and monetize their talent through them.

Here are some fun samples educators use in the classroom:
One-Move Grove - Teachers start class off right with some physical movement and students start by mastering popular single moves.
Brain Breaks - Short, rapid, in-seat movements intended to get the child's blood flowing so he/she can refocus during intense lesson time.
Full Dance Routines - Build confidence and express emotions with more extensive programs, and “performances.”
Daily Encouragements - Quick encouragement for students AND educators to boost your day, lesson plan, or your classroom's energy. Addresses social and emotional wellness for students, educators, and parents to help propel you to your best self.
Integrate with existing classroom management
This off the shelf curriculum is already available on Canvas or you can leverage the existing Pass-To-Class online platform. Teachers can immediately and easily integrate the program into their existing Google Classroom and Zoom sessions.
SEL Online Learning Program
The Pass to Class online program is based on hip-hop dance as a way to connect with students in a culturally relevant way, while also giving them key tools to understand and express their own emotions.
This plug-and-play program provides off the shelf culturally relevant distance learning curriculum with programs that have proven to inspire students and improve their behavior. What starts with dance quickly becomes a way to help teachers engage students in all subjects, with fun activities, brain breaks and confidence builders.
What Educators and Students are Saying
“I didn’t know how to express myself. Dance gave me the tools to express myself so I can let go and feel everything and release. Dance is my outlet. It changes the game.” - Keke, middle school student “The platform, content and delivery method has given us a tool that engages students in distance learning. This fun creative and healthy outlet not only exercises their body and mind, it also helps their social emotional wellbeing. We look forward to continuing to expand the use of the platform in our distance learning plan.” -- Matt Perry Ed.D, Assistant Superintendent, Sacramento County Office of Education “This program has been wildly popular and engages students from all backgrounds. She empowers students, helping them feel a positive connection to school and a sense of self respect for themselves. She has found an outlet for them to be active, healthy, and engaged with students from diverse backgrounds.

To Whom it May Concern:
There are so many organizations and individuals who are working diligently to help our youth navigate this world we live in. Sometimes one organization stands out above the rest. For Sacramento, that organization is Studio T Arts & Entertainment established by Tamaira Sandifer. Serving more than 5,000 youth in school districts throughout Northern California, Studio T works to instill real life skills, hope and a sense of belonging to her students.
Ms. Tee, as many know her, is a literal powerhouse who has recognized the benefit of dance in the everyday lives of youth who need a creative outlet ʹ and for many ʹ a reason to stay off the streets, out of jail, and to stay alive. She works as a tireless champion in the development of every child to build confidence, character and a conquering spirit that believes anything is possible. What sets Ms. Tee and this organization apart is that through their work, not only have they saved lives, they have created, nurtured, and established the arts leaders of tomorrow Some of her students have moved from her studio to the national stage ĂƐƐŽŵĞŽĨ,ŽůůLJǁŽŽĚ͛ƐŵŽƐƚƐŽƵŐŚƚĂĨƚĞƌĚĂŶĐĞƌƐ. Many, not destined to be professional dancers, have found dance to be an outlet for their emotions. Dance has allowed them the opportunity to process their emotions through movement ʹ and move forward in their lives. ͞One of the best forms of therapy that we have found is dance. It gives them a way to express ƚŚĞŵƐĞůǀĞƐ͘^ŽŵĞƚŝŵĞƐƚŚĞLJĚŽŶ͛ƚŬŶŽǁŚŽǁƚŽƐĂLJ/͛ŵƐĐĂƌĞĚ͘^ŽŵĞƚŝŵĞƐƚŚĞLJĚŽŶ͛ƚŬŶŽǁŚŽǁ ƚŽƐĂLJ/͛ŵƐƚƌĞƐƐĞĚŽƵƚ͘Our objective is, if we can get them relieving their anger and stress and ƉƌĞƐƐƵƌĞ ƚŚŝƐ ǁĂLJ͕ LJŽƵ ǁŽŶ͛ƚ ĨŝŶĚ ƚŚĞŵ ĚŽŝŶŐ ƐŽŵĞ ŽƚŚĞƌ ƵŶƐĂǀŽƌLJ ƚŚŝŶŐƐ ƚŚĂƚ ĂƌĞ ŵŽƌĞ ĚĞƚƌŝŵĞŶƚĂůƚŚĂŶŚĞůƉĨƵů͕͟ ʹ Tee Sandifer

To Whom it May Concern:
I am writing today to endorse the work of Tamaira Sandifer – Miss Tee – and recommend her for this funding opportunity.
Miss Tee has always been a true community leader and advocate. She developed and implemented the National Day of Dance in Sacramento, at a time when no one thought that a dance event at a major municipal venue was a plausible idea. She has proved the naysayers wrong and carried it out brilliantly, shedding a light on the diverse dance in our community as well as bringing dance to forefront of our cultural landscape.
Last year, Miss Tee was a featured presenter and performer at the first Sacramento Creativity Summit for high school students, a full day of creative workshops, performances and presentations for 300 students from 10 school, held at the newly opened Sofia Theatre in Sacramento. Her presentation was mesmerizing, as she captured the essence of creativity for theater full of youth, inspiring them not to give up on their dreams, lose confidence in their innate creativity, or believe that their circumstances or environments limit who they are. And, of course, her teaching and performance were evidence of the message.
And, I am honored to say that I have had the pleasure of working with Miss Tee during the past six months, while COVID-19 has severely hit our community and made difficult and inequitable systems for youth more visible for all to see. We’ve sat on committees together and discussed and planned the work that needs to be done. And she is in the forefront of this work. She and the amazing artists and youth she works with have jumped in with resources, positive messaging, support for those in need and teaching – both in person where students gather for much needed supplies and services and virtually, with a variety of online classes and resources demonstrating her powerful teaching and dance skills. Her work stands up without her activism – yet her activism magnifies the reach of her work.
Tee is always the first to say, “what can I do?” when art and messaging is needed. And it has never been needed more than now.
I am happy to help her work in any way I can and to recommend her for support.
Sincerely,
Melissa Cirone

Project Synopsis
LCA is a leadership and life skills development program that will use digital video and the art of storytelling to teach Rancho Cordova youth, 12‐17 years old to become productive citizens. Partnering with the Rancho Cordova Police Activities League, LCA will be an innovative program that will provide students opportunities to use technical and digital media to explore issues important to them and their community by developing Public Service Announcement from concept to delivery. This program can be done on an individual basis (one on one) or depending on how many students sign up, split into groups of 4‐6. For the purpose of the "Project Description," the project is described as "groups of students".
Project Description
1. Brainstorm Issues: As some students may not know what a PSA is, we will show examples of relevant PSA’s and discuss with the whole group. Students will then be formed into groups and each group will decide on a PSA they want to make. 2. Deciding on the PSA and Storyboarding: Students sketch how their film will look, frame by frame. Is it a text only PSA, voice over, music, and/or video that they plan to use in their film. Film Office staff will catch any hiccups, for instance if the film is too long, confusing, or if they forgot to cite sources. 3. Research and Plan: Students walk through how to research the subject matter of their PSA as they need to be accurate. At this step students collate any materials they may need such as visual aids, and graphics. Shoot locations are decided as well as equipment needed discussed. 4. Filming the PSA: Students two groups at a time make their PSA. They are instructed on how to use camera equipment, lights, sound and keeping track of time as far as “takes”. the PSA and be instructed on the various “takes” needed. Each group will decide as to the on camera person in their group guided by film office staff. 5. Editing/Effects/Music:
Students will be shown how to download their footage from the camera memory card in to a computer and introduced to the editing program Final Cut. Each group will edit their film into a 30 second PSA. Music, effects and credits added. . 6. Color Correction and Locking Picture: Students will be guided through the color correction process, a process that colors the film to broadcast quality.
Da Vinci program is used for this. Once the students are happy with the PSA, film office staff will instruct them on “picture lock”. The PSA is now complete and ready to be shown. The PSA’s will be juried and the top three will receive an award, 1/23 place. Film Office will use its connections to have the winning PSA’s broadcast on local TV. A screening will be held at the youth center.

Project Goals
‐ Teach students about different types of cameras, microphones, editing software and lighting equipment. This skills are invaluable for student filmmakers, cinematographers or to generally work in film. ‐ In the age of social media, teach students how to make impactful and meaningful video presentations. ‐ Teach Students Team Work – Learning film is a great way for students to learn to work well with each other and apply dedication to a project. ‐ Bring awareness to social issues that are important to young people today. Developing a PSA is a great way for students to learn about a subject as they research their PSA and spread a message to peers and adults. ‐ Teach the students to have their work examined by experts and receive criticism ‐ Teach students something new without prior knowledge and experience, and how to think constructively about social issues that are important to them. ‐ Get students interested in the arts, primarily through film which will lead to other areas of creativity. ‐ Teach students to see other points of view through each other’s PSA’s. ‐ Teach students to collaborate with each other, dividing tasks, and manage tasks and deadlines. ‐ Teach the students how to set goals and what is required to achieve those goals 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.

Project Schedule, Timeliness and Adaptability
Project Schedule
PAL's preference is the program is held at the new Rancho Cordova Youth Center opening August 2022. We will start as soon as we are able to at the youth center. We anticipate this will be a bi‐weekly program for 3‐4 months and competent by February 2023.
In addition to providing the project timeline identified above, describe how you will be able to complete your project by June 30, 2023.
As soon as the youth center is completed, PAL will have already put out the word about this program through their sources. They are optimistic there will be a strong response. We plan to begin the program in late August/early September. Will will plan on a class every two weeks and we anticipate this program will take 4 months (9 classes) to complete. Once the classes and PSA's are filmed and locked, we will plan for a community screening at the youth center where all PSA's will be screened with filmmakers introduced for a Q&A about the process of making their PSA's. At this event prizes will be awarded (hopefully by the Police Chief with Mayor in attendance) The program will be completed by February 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.
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.
Yes. This program could be done over zoom if need be. Not preferred but possible.

Speech & Debate Programs
Project Synopsis
The proposed educational Program will help elementary and middle school students and resident students (grades 4 through 8) of Rancho Cordova City with speech and debate training sessions.
Project Description
The speech and debate programs will provide the students with valuable skills that they will use for the rest of their lives, including but not limited to researching, writing, critical thinking, organization, persuasion, conflict resolution and communication proficiency.
These educational tools are necessary in every part of our lives and successfully mastering them at a young age will allow the participants to utilize them in their day‐to‐day activities. Whether it is online or in person, the skills (researching, writing, critical thinking, organization, persuasion, conflict resolution and communication) will help them articulate their opinions in a constructive format, delivering their thoughts in a clear and concise manner. They will also communicate with peers their own age, develop a level of confidence in themselves, and leave a positive impression upon the people around them. The program will engage the students and the skills acquired will help them excel in their academics and place them on a straight path to becoming successful future leaders in politics, business, law, academics, entertainment, and many other fields. The speech program will provide a foundation for various types of speech, categorized as oratorical, persuasive, impromptu, dramatic, humorous, and poetic. The programs attendees will be encouraged to focus their training in their preferred speech category. The introductory training classes will include demo sessions for each of the speech categories to help familiarize the students with their choices. The debate program will provide an overview of different styles of debate, categorized as Parliamentary, Public Forum, Lincoln‐Douglas, Spontaneous Argumentation, Team Policy, and Cross‐Examination. The elementary and middle school student program attendees will receive more comprehensive training in the debate category of their choice.

2 Volunteer will develop and implement the project. A youth team of ten‐member expert speech and debate coaches will support the program. These youth coaches have a wealth of expertise to share with their younger peers, having won competitions at regional, state, and national levels. Our team has conducted several speech and debate programs in Greater Sacramento area for the past two years and community spirit has flourished amongst the participants, as demonstrated by their eagerness to assist the next generation in achieving similar successes. Short bios of project team leads (including prior experience), are listed below. Saritha Jasthi • MS Degree in Computer Science • Coached teams ranging from Elementary, Middle and High School students. • Mentored a team to conduct similar events for the past four years. • Served as a judge for several local speech and debate competitions Bhaskar Vempati • Ph.D in Mechanical Engineering • Organized several speech and debate competitions in the Greater Sacramento area • Mentored/mentoring several of the youth coaches • Acted as the judge for multiple local speech and debate competitions Youth Coaches • A ten‐member team of local expert speech and debate coaches who won competitions at county level, state level and national level are available to support the speech and debate program. Judges • Several local speech and debate adepts will lend their expertise to the competition by way of their judging skills.
Project Goals
The project allows students to develop effective 1) Researching capabilities 2) Critical thinking dexterity 3) Organizational competence 4) Team building skills 5) Writing proficiency 6) Use of body gestures (eye contact, stance, and expressions) 7) Speech delivery virtuosity (proper speed, tone, diction, language, clarity, and fluency) 8) Conflict resolution adroitness According to the Stanford article, “The Power of Speech & Debate Education,” (https://snfi.stanford.edu/skills), there are lifetime benefits for students who commit to speech and debate programs. Forbes published an article titled “How to Find the Millennials Who Will Lead Your Company,” (https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertsher/2014/03/02/how‐to‐find‐the‐millennials‐who‐will‐lead‐your‐ company/?sh=3d697bc37178), which suggests that the leaders of the future are ex‐debaters. As that article notes, debate teaches “how to persuade, how to present clearly, and how to connect with an audience,” exactly the skills businesses look for in their young employees. “You’ll find ex‐debaters in every area of public life, from Bruce Springsteen to Oprah Winfrey to Nelson Mandela. 60% of Congressional representatives participated in debate, as well as at least a third of the Supreme Court. There are ex‐debaters excelling in business, law, politics, academia, and many other fields.” The proposed program helps the students learn effective communication, collaborative, and leadership skills. The student program attendees will demonstrate their newly garnered skills at the competition scheduled at the end of the program. The educational tools gained through the program will engage the students, help them excel in their academics and place them on a straight path to becoming successful future leaders in several prominent areas including business, law, politics, academia, entertainment, and media.

Falkon Academy Competitive Robotics
Project Synopsis
The aim of this project is to build competitive VEX Robotics and FTW Drones Teams for kids from ages 9yrs to 15yrs. Rancho Cordova, RiverView Stem Academy elementary school has VEX robotics as part of STEM curriculum. But there no opportunities in the community to go competitive for middle and high‐school. Falkon Academy would like to fill that gap.
Project Description
The aim of this project is to build competitive VEX Robotics and FTW Drones Teams with kids from ages 9yrs to 15yrs old. These teams will build VEX Robots and FTW Drones and compete in regional and hopefully state and national level. Rancho Cordova, RiverView Stem Academy elementary school has VEX robotics as part of STEM curriculum. But after the kids move out of Riverview to Middle school and then to high school there is no VEX robotics programs available in the community. Falkon academy would like to help fill this gap. We want to build competitive teams and take them to state and national level. (It should be noted that these competitions are very competitive, around 60,000 kids compete national level. So winning is not guaranteed). But Falkon can guarantee that kids will learn lot of new things that are not taught in typical school curriculum. Falkon has developed custom curriculum to teach kids with lots of examples. We want to develop their own pain‐point identification through observation and come up with their own unique solutions. This is how startup’s are built. And this is how new products are developed. (https://medium.com/@gojilabs/a‐startups‐guide‐to‐product‐management‐understanding‐customer‐pain‐points‐33b431ff2992).
With out this mindset and there would not be products like iPhone, Impossible Burgers, Tesla Cars and many other innovative products. VEX Robotics Description: The VEX Robotics Design System, which was created by Innovation First, Inc., is recognized as a leading classroom robotics platform. It has been designed to nurture creative advancement in robotics and knowledge of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education. It could be compared to Lego Robotics. But cheaper. The added advantage of VEX robotics is that its being used in Riverview STEM. I would look at it as another avenue for kids to learn robotics and compete past elementary school. VEX Robotics has primarily two categories. VEX IQ and VEX V5.

Project Synopsis: The aim of this project is to build competitive VEX Robotics and FTW Drones Teams for kids from ages 9yrs to 15yrs. Rancho Cordova, RiverView Stem Academy elementary school has VEX robotics as part of STEM curriculum. But there no opportunities in the community to go competitive for middle and high-school. Falkon Academy would like to fill that gap.

Project Description: The aim of this project is to build competitive VEX Robotics and FTW Drones Teams with kids from ages 9yrs to 15yrs old. These teams will build VEX Robots and FTW Drones and compete in regional and hopefully state and national level. Rancho Cordova, RiverView Stem Academy elementary school has VEX robotics as part of STEM curriculum. But after the kids move out of Riverview to Middle school and then to high school there is no VEX robotics programs available in the community. Falkon academy would like to help fill this gap.
We want to build competitive teams and take them to state and national level. (It should be noted that these competitions are very competitive, around 60,000 kids compete national level.
So winning is not guaranteed). But Falkon can guarantee that kids will learn lot of new things that are not taught in typical school curriculum. Falkon has developed custom curriculum to teach kids with lots of examples. We want to develop their own pain-point identification through observation and come up with their own unique solutions. This is how startup’s are built. And this is how new products are developed. (https://medium.com/@gojilabs/astartups-guide-to-product-management-understanding-customer-pain-points-33b431ff2992).
With out this mindset and there would not be products like iPhone, Impossible Burgers, Tesla Cars and many other innovative products.
VEX Robotics Description: The VEX Robotics Design System, which was created by Innovation First, Inc., is recognized as a leading classroom robotics platform. It has been designed to nurture creative advancement in robotics and knowledge of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education. It could be compared to Lego Robotics. But cheaper. The added advantage of VEX robotics is that its being used in Riverview STEM. I would look at it as another avenue for kids to learn robotics and compete past elementary school.
VEX Robotics has primarily two categories. VEX IQ and VEX V5.
At any of the VEX competitions, the representation from Sacramento is very minimal. Most teams are from Bayarea, Davis, Modesto, Stockton. There are only couple of teams from Placer and Natomas. Whereas Rancho Cordova and Folsom has only couple of teams in VEX IQ category. None from VEX V5 category.
Application #62
ITEM 12.4. ATTACHMENT 3
Below is description of different categories.
VEX IQ is a snaptogether robotics system, making it fast and easy to build an endless variety of
robots. Watch code come alive on a
physical robot and apply key STEM skills.
Organized parts storage reduces
classroom clutter IQ Electronics are
Simple, Flexible and Powerful Students
can build and change their robots fast. This
is for kids from 4th grade to 7th grade.
VEX V5. Invigorating students with a
passion for STEM
with robotics! VEX V5 represents our fifth
generation of education robotics systems
developed with 20 years of experience
using robotics to teach STEM
principles. V5 electronics are
approachable, flexible and powerful, using
state of the art technology to ensure
relevant education outcomes. This is for
kids 7th grade to 11th grade.
FTW (For The Win) Robotics is a STEMbased experiential educational Drones. In this program Drones are used as an
effective way for students of all ages to
explore engineering, computer science,
and aviation. This is for kids from 5th grade
to 11th grade.

Letter from Riverview STEM Team – Selected for World Championship.
Attached is a letter and a video from some of the kids from River View Stem. After Riverview Stem they became an independent team and now is selected for World Championship.
They want to continue their passion for robotics and take it to the next level. But its turning out to be expensive as an independent team. They plan to be part of Falkon Robotics, so they will have access to the community and be able to share costs. They will also have access to curriculum and facilities.
They expressed their concern that after Riverview STEM there are no avenues for the kids besides being an independent team.

Total $12,986
3) Cost of Coaching: $80 per kid/per month for 8 months in a year. $16,000 4) Miscellaneous Expenses: $5,000
This covers, Competition Registrations, Snacks, Insurance, Internet, projectors, etc. 5) External Rental Space. $12/sft/year (Rancho Cordova): $60,000 A dedicated space is highly recommended. But not essential. If the program is not done at a central dedicated space, it would have to be run at parent-volunteer garage space.
If the program is done at a school Site, then this cost can be waived.
Advantages of dedicated space:
1) A dedicated space will provide opportunities for the kids to communicate with other teams and learn from each other.
Application #62
ITEM 12.4. ATTACHMENT 3
2) A dedicated space will also provide place to store the material. Otherwise there is a high chance that the material will be lost. Robotics comprises of 1000s of parts. And replacing parts is very expensive.
3) A dedicated space will inculcate professionalism and responsibility in kids. As its not home. (As an example: We have seen during pandemic, kids were attending school zoom sessions from bed. Although robotics programs are not zoom sessions, but still a home-based program may not inculcate similar professionalism as a dedicated space would.)
4) No frequent interrupts from siblings, parents, visitors and neighbors, unlike garage space.
5) Heating in winter and air-conditioner available during summer, unlike garage space. 6) Easy access to restroom and water, unlike garage space where families can feel inconvenient.
7) Robotics typically need 3hrs to 8hrs of work per week. And and most families don’t like to have so many kids spend that many hours at their place. And using restrooms, asking for water etc.
8) Don’t have to find a volunteer garage space. Robotics takes up 2 car garage space.
And most families don’t like to dedicate that much of space. 9) With dedicated space, we can host competitions.
10) With dedicated space, we can offer programs for 50 to 100 kids. 11) With dedicated space, we can offer summer programs and raise some money.
Disadvantage of dedicated space:
1) Big expense to rent, and other costs like insurance, and maintenance. 2) Increased distance of travel to one central location for all of Rancho Cordova.
Garage spaces can be distributed across multiple locations across Rancho Cordova.
Not having a dedicated space, is one of the reasons why robotics is not catching up in our area. With a dedicated space, we can run professional programs.
Endorsement from School – for Dedicated space.
We have approached W.E. Mitchell Middle School for space to run robotics. The school expressed lot of interest. And Endorsed us.
Options for Funding:
Option A) Minimally Funded Project/Garage Based:
Buy Only Required Kits $10,928
Application #62
ITEM 12.4. ATTACHMENT 3
Such a program will be run through people garages. Not an ideal program as kids learn a lot from each other.
Coaching fee and Miscellaneous fee will be paid by parents.
This project is self sustainable, for 3 years. After 3 years, we may have to replace with new kits.
Option B) 2nd Level Funded Project/Garage Based. – Minimum Recommended $23,914 This funding will provide complete equipment for Competitions and Enhanced Learning Experience. It will cover the cost of Required Equipment (1, above) and Enhanced Learning Kits (2,above)
This program will run from Parent-Volunteer Garages.
Option C) Run the program at Mitchell Middle School. – Minimum Recommended $23,914 Endorsement from W.E Mitchell Middle School is provided.
This funding will provide complete equipment for Competitions and Enhanced Learning Experience. It will cover the cost of Required Equipment (1, above) and Enhanced Learning Kits (2,above)
The dedicated space will be provided by the school. Which is huge cost saver.
The cost of coaching will be borne by the parents.
Note: We may need to work with school to open the program to all kids of Rancho Cordova. And not be dedicated to only Mitchell Middle School Students.
Option D) Fully funded Project Cost: $104,914
This option will fully fund the project, by providing all the expenses, documented in the “Expenses Outline” section above.
This project will provide an external space, instead of a school site. – This option can be centrally located to all of Rancho Cordova. It will take out the dependence on schools.
And It will be easier to open up to all the schools in Rancho Cordova.
As, City will also pay for all the coaching. This may benefit low-income kids as well.
Ongoing (beyond FY 2022/2023) operations and maintenance costs if applicable:
The equipment will last 3years. After which they need to be replaced. There will be lost and broken equipment that need to be replaced. This may cost about $3000/year. We plan to raise our own funds to cover this expense.

LETTER From Riverview STEM TEAM - Must Read
March 3, 2022
To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Fallon Griffin. I am eleven years old and one day want to pursue a career in robotics and mechanical engineering.
My passion for robotics started with watching the TV show BattleBots when I was two years old. My parents were kind enough to encourage my passion with Little bits, Legos, k'nex and any other building toys that could move.
I was fortunate to go to Riverview STEM Academy through elementary school and it was there I discovered VEX IQ. We used VEX for our Project Lead the Way (PLTW) curriculum. In 4th Grade I signed up for the VEX robotics team started by Mrs. Lanich. I never knew there were robotics competitions for my age group. It was on this team that I was able to put all my knowledge about design, engineering, teamwork and programming to good use.
VEX IQ Challenge is a creative competition where each year a new challenge is released for teams to compete in. The first year we were tasked to create a robot to stack cubes on platforms, and for Application #62
ITEM 12.4. ATTACHMENT 3
extra points, stack balls on top of them. There are three components to the competitions, driver controlled matches, autonomous skills matches and judged awards. It was frustrating more than fun at first, robotics is not for those who view failure negatively. Failure in robotics is essential in working towards a final working product. Each gear ratio that wouldn't work teaches us more about what will work and why. These competitions gave me real world understanding about concepts that I had studied before, but was finally getting to see work.
In 5th grade, because I was homeschooled due to the pandemic, there was nowhere for me to compete or have a team. I truly appreciated the tech lab at Riverview and for the opportunity to come early and stay late at school with my teammates, my friends, and work on a sport that I loved. My parents were willing to let me continue robotics, and two of my friends were excited to join, and for a year all my birthday and Christmas presents were robotics parts and a field for the garage. Measuring six by eight feet it takes up most of the space.
My team was able to stay together and compete as an independent team thanks to each of our parents. We have qualified for State Championship every year since we started and won the State Design Award in 2021 qualifying us for World's! My experience with robotics only propels my desire to pursue robotics in the future. I am sad to know that many of my elementary school friends who were part of robotics with me at Riverview are not doing it anymore because they don't have the space or parts to make a team. We all fell in love with this sport, but don't have fields or equipment to keep competing.
Soon, my team will outgrow my parents' garage as we transition to the older VEX competitions for middle and highschoolers. Also, the cost to fund a highschool robotics team will only grow with the complexity of the robot. Soon I may find myself without a team and a space to pursue my passion.
I hope that robotics could be recognized as a league locally. I wish we had fields and a tech lab to pull all the kids interested in pursuing robotics competitively and recreationally in one spot. I want to coach and mentor younger kids in this sport and inspire them to love science and engineering as much as I do. This sport is unique as it not only provides a fun environment for kids to compete in, but trains the next generation of engineers, programmers and roboticists.
My team is named Generation Artemis, because we will grow up seeing humanity return to the moon. I want to be part of the next generation of engineers who confront climate change, sustainable farming and space exploration with scientific innovations. Please consider the importance of a supporting robotics league and facility locally.
Sincerely,
Fallon Griffin

Project Information
Project Name
Elementary Field Trip partnership with Sly Park for Rancho Cordova Schools! Project Synopsis
FCUSD would like to bring more STEM focused field trip opportunities to our students. Our project benefits the community by offering STEM based educational opportunities to our students.
Project Description
This is a growing, high demand area of study that has the potential to create substantial economic benefits for our children and community. “The study found that, regardless of gender, ethnicity or socioeconomic status, youth who take educational trips have better grades (59 percent), higher graduation rates from high school (95%) and college (63%), and greater income (12% higher annually). In fact, 89% said educational trips had a positive, lasting impact on their education and career because the trips made them more engaged, intellectually curious and interested in and out of school.” ‐National Education Association, NEA Project Team
FCUSD & John Bliss( CGE), Amber Fontaine (CME), Christy Wilkerson (CVE), James Tucker (NVE), Ted Bosque (PJS), Jessica Hutchison (RCE), Lari Powell (RSA), Kim Christierson (WRE), Leslee Cottrell (WME) Project Goals
Every 5th grade class will have a Sly Park experience which will result in academic gains through greater engagement. We will measure our goal by student surveys, teacher engagement feedback, and monitoring academic achievement before and after each event.

Measure H - Funding requestProject Name:
Elementary Field Trip partnership with Sly Park for Rancho Cordova Schools! Project Description
FCUSD would like to bring more STEM focused field trip opportunities to our students. Our project benefits the community by offering STEM based educational opportunities to our students. This is a growing, high demand area of study that has the potential to create substantial economic benefits for our children and community. “The study found that, regardless of gender, ethnicity or socioeconomic status, youth who take educational trips have better grades (59 percent), higher graduation rates from high school (95%) and college (63%), and greater income (12% higher annually). In fact, 89% said educational trips had a positive, lasting impact on their education and career because the trips made them more engaged, intellectually curious and interested in and out of school.” -National Education Association, NEA Project Team

Project Name
Thinking Like a CEO: From non‐Employer to Employer
Project Synopsis
Three to five of Rancho Cordova’s small businesses owners learn to operate their businesses as employing CEOs rather than as the only employee in their businesses.
Project Description
Thinking Like a CEO is a 12‐month program wherein participants receive: • Classroom instruction with hands‐on experiences to address the knowledge and skills gaps as well as the thought patterns and behaviors that impede small business success • One‐on‐ one business coaching to develop sales and revenue generation capacity , • Support services to practice and experience how hiring professional service providers for day‐to‐day tasks allows them to drive their business goals and objectives from a CEO perspective and achieve professional results. Participants apply their training to their businesses in real time. Each deliverable is developed and customized for their unique business needs. The program walks participants through identifying and documenting their unique goals and objectives, budgeting to meet these goals and objectives, branding and representing their businesses, building sales capacity, and finally leading teams. Our instructional team is composed of local certified professionals, including a Balanced Scorecard champion, a doctor of behavioral sciences, a Forbes 50 Champion, a multi‐business entrepreneur, and a professional copy writer.
Support services are provided by local independent businesses who grant them special philanthropic pricing, and our coaches specialize in revenue generation.

Project Information
Project Name
The California Police Activities League’s Rancho Cordova Youth Apprenticeship Readiness Accelerator Program (YARA).
Project Synopsis
The California Police Activities League (California PAL) a 501(c)3 incorporated nonprofit, is spearheading a unique program in partnership with the Laborers Training and Retraining Trust Fund for Northern California (LTC) and The Salvation Army Sacramento to mobilize a powerful collaborative that includes construction trades, CBO’s, employers, education, and law enforcement, creating a wraparound project that reflects California PAL’s commitment to reducing the wealth equity gap, leads to an effective bridge to quality jobs and a better quality of life. YARA will positively impact community/economic development by creating pathways to high quality employment and High Road jobs by establishing a program with industry‐recognized certifications and leadership development. Underserved youth in Rancho Cordova will be presented employment options through career exploration, workforce training and additional opportunities for life‐long careers that are not typically afforded to this demographic. CALPAL’s history of supporting minority youth from underserved communities is consistent with our proposed target populations in Rancho Cordova, specifically disadvantaged or low‐income communities experiencing disproportionate unemployment. By providing exposure and pathways to employment our participants will have access to educational and workforce development resources that were previously not available to them. CALPAL was established in 1972 with the intention of reducing juvenile crime and focus on establishing safer and stronger communities by “Building the Bond Between Cops & Kids.” Our successful programs have proven time and time again that dedicated community policing by our Police and Sheriff’s Departments in conjunction with their local PAL program and California PAL, is an effective solution that provides a huge positive influence in our communities and make a difference in the lives of our youth.
Project Description
California PAL will provide overall coordination and management of the YARA program. California PAL’s future office site, the Rancho Cordova PAL facility, will be a shared facility with Rancho Cordova PAL and will serve as the location for the YARA program. The program will include 2 cohorts each consisting of 12 Rancho Cordova youth. The Cohorts will participate in a comprehensive suite of activities to explore and prepare them for living wage employment through this pre‐apprenticeship program. The program will begin with the participants attending California PAL’s flagship program, Life After High School Destination Success, a 4‐day, 3‐night conference held at Fresno State University providing college and career preparedness and workforce development skills including Application #65
ITEM 12.4. ATTACHMENT 3
2 college/career readiness workshops & Fair, life skills, resume & business interviews and motivational guest speakers from the trades.
The YARA program will be the follow‐up to ensure a successful pathway towards achieving career goals and living wage jobs. At the core of YARA is the Laborers Training & Retraining Trust Fund for Northern California’s (LTC) Pre‐Apprenticeship Construction Training, a 6 week (40 hours/week) program that includes certificates in Fundamentals of Construction, OSHA 10, First Aid/CPR, Confined Space, Traffic Control and Hazardous Waste courses. The participants will be presented a comprehensive experience with a combination of hands‐on and classroom learning to prepare the participants for the next step in their workforce development journey, including but not limited to entering a formal apprenticeship or post‐secondary education. A building project and graduation week activities will also be part of the program.
Project Team
CALPAL: Jennifer Lopez, Executive Director: With over 15 years experience in non‐profit management/fund‐development and 9 years experience in youth development/engagement, Ms. Lopez will be the overall sponsor of YARA representing CALPAL as the lead operational and fiscally responsible organization. Bryan Ferreria, Director of Operations: In the role of YARA Program Manager, he will coordinate the tactical operations of the program including youth recruitment, partner engagement, scheduling and reporting.
Kenneth Ramirez, Director of Development: CALPAL’s point of contact and liaison for the YARA program and Measure H focals in addition to grant administration. LTC: Leonard Gonzales (Executive Director): Primary focal for YARA to coordinate the construction curriculum and certification courses of the program, supervise the acquisition and use of tools and PPE. LTC has an extensive history serving underserved and underrepresented communities throughout Northern California. Salvation Army: Captain Larry J.
Carmichael, MSOL (Social Services Officer): Liaison to the Sacramento Salvation Army who will be providing tracking and reporting as recognized by the State Workforce Development Board. Both LTC and Salvation Army will work with industry leaders to identify and secure course instructors, industry partners for demonstration projects and construction businesses to provide monetary and in‐kind support. Rancho Cordova PAL: Tina Aldama (PAL Program Director): Oversee activities including scheduling and facility preparation at the Rancho Cordova PAL location, maintain communication with participants. Deputy Jose De La Cruz (Youth Services Officer/PAL Director) Help in recruiting and acquiring law enforcement officers to act as advisors for the youth participants. Advisory Council: A council made up of local leaders will be established to promote trades, create employment opportunities & pathways and reduce barriers to employment & training.
Project Goals
The primary goal of YARA is to enable the youth participants to determine a pathway to gain skills leading to a lifelong career. This will be achieved by the defined program curriculum and the advisors in place to assist and ensure the participants identify and take the next step in their workforce development journey. As stated by Captain Larry Carmichael, Sacramento City Social Services officer: https://sacramento.salvationarmy.org/sacramento_metro/construction‐training‐program?random=107 "The Salvation Army truly believes that the Construction Training Program is another way to take social services to a higher level‐ a hand up & not a hand out. We realize that construction‐related jobs are still in high demand and this gives our clients a real opportunity to learn new skills and find employment in the very near future." Measures will be both quantitative and qualitative to measure the effectiveness of the program to include the following: ‐ Participant attendance ‐ Obtaining Certification Cards in the industry recognized course modules ‐ Program completion ‐ Defined action(s) in place for each participant to continue their workforce development experience, (Apprenticeship, college, etc.) Additionally, surveys will be initiated to assess and compile the effectiveness of the program from the participants' perspective. Example questions include: ‐ Overall value of the program and the importance of defining a plan to obtain skills that lead to employment ‐ Understanding of the curriculum ‐ Trust and value in the advisors ‐ Next step(s) identified for continuing education/job skills ‐ Suggestions on how the program can be modified or improved Funding Request

I’ve also included the picture you sent to us and asked we notate the area being improved. This is probably a better rendering since it is more to scale and is in color.

Project Information
Project Name
Blessings in a Backpack - Rancho Cordova
Project Synopsis
We provide weekend 50 for children in our local elementary schools, who have food shortage issues, on the weekends.
Project Description
Kids should worry about being a kid and not where their next meal will come from. Blessings in a Backpack (BIAB) began providing weekend food to 30 children in 2014, and we've grown to over 350 kids, currently. Our students all receive free breakfast and lunch, Monday through Friday, during the school year, but for too many kids that is their last meal until they come back to school on Monday. BIAB helps to fill that void with weekend meals geared for just that child. It's not feasible for us to feed the entire family, not just from a cost standpoint, but also the children aren't all capable of bringing a big bag of food home. Whether the child receive our prepackaged kits or our bulk food, it's completely manageable and easily fits in their backpack. We are currently sending weekend food home for 230 students from Williamson, Rancho Cordova, Cordova Villa, Cordova Gardens and Cordova Meadows Elementary Schools. We also send food for 20 students who attend Blanche Sprentz Elementary School, 60 students at Abraham Lincoln Elementary School in Lincoln Village, which is in the SCUSD and Pasadena Avenue Elementary School in the SJUSD.
Project Team
Janice and Rickey Davis
Project Goals
My short term goal is to get the 3 remaining elementary schools on board with our program. White Rock Elementary has been a part of our program for several years, and we were sad when they opted out this year. We would like to add 150 children to our program, bringing the total to 500. We will reach out to more schools in the Lincoln Village area if we don't hear back from the Rancho Cordova schools.

Project Information
Project Name
Spay/Neuter/Vaccine Program
Project Synopsis
Provide free spay/neuter for cats, dogs and rabbits in Rancho Cordova.
Project Description
Enhance the Quality of Life in Rancho Cordova by offering and promoting spay/neuter services for canines and felines in our community and caring for Community (Homeless) Cats. Education and spay/neuter services are urgently needed to reduce pet overpopulation. Canines, specifically, have had very limited support. A small number of rabbit spay/neuters are covered also. Felines continue to be unaltered and abandoned by residents, especially in rental housing, which increases the need for immediate action.
Project Team
Sacramento SPCA Community Spay & Neuter Clinic Rancho Cordova Animal Services Whisker Warriors Animal Defense Fund dba Rancho Cordova Whisker Warriors
Project Goals
Fully support spay/neuter and vaccinations for Rancho Cordova Community Cats (Homeless/Strays). Fully support the Return to Field Program in Rancho Cordova. Fully support spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchips and flea prevention for resident dogs and cats.
Support Homeless Individuals residing in Rancho Cordova with free spay/neuter/vaccines for their pets. Support spay/neuter for domesticated rabbits owned by residents and rabbits fostered for adoption. Support the costs of caring for Community Cat populations in Rancho Cordova. Support residents with dog and cat food for their pets on an emergency basis. Support Veterans in Mather Veterans Village with food and supplies for their companion animals.
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.

Matching Funds
Matching Funds: $18,010 raised by Whisker Warriors through fund‐raising and in‐kind donations Costs covered by RC Whisker Warriors: • Co‐pay of funds agreed to be covered in 2020: $3,670 • All Community Cat care $7,140 • Pet Food for Community members/feral feeders $7,000 ($5,000 covered by CoVID Grant) • Outreach & volunteer incentives $2,600 • Other costs include:
Flea Treatments for resident animals (provided to residents with vouchers, to be applied by SPCA &CSN): $1,200 Shelters and feeding stations. Anticipated costs for materials $1,000 Humane Traps Purchase of additional traps for controlling cat population $400
Include any other funding contributions
Due to COVID related inefficiencies in the spay/neuter surgery process and illness of staff, we anticipate that at least $10,000 of the current fiscal year funding will be unused. We request that all unused funds be rolled over, reducing the amount of the current grant.
Ongoing operations and maintenance costs (if applicable) none
Total Community Enhancement & Investment Funds requested $43,000
Is this a multiyear request?
No
How many years have you received funding for this project? 7 When will your request for funding sunset for ongoing programs? Other communities who have undertaken the challenge of animal overpopulation understood that fully meeting our goal of zero population growth will take years. Now that we have become more well known within the community, we anticipate the need for services will be similar for up to 4 more years. We have a particular challenge/opportunity with so much rental housing in our community. Covid has impacted our over‐all plan. So many animals could not even get appointments for spay/neuter.
Do you plan to ask annually for funding?
Yes
What other funding will you seek to support your project? We have received a COVID Grant for $5,000 to help with pet food needs. We also received a $4,000 grant from the Glide Foundation which will be partially used for feral food. Holiday Lights generated $455.55 in donations from the community. Blaze Pizza held a one‐day fundraising event for the Whisker Warriors which generated $319.00. We also received $5,000 in TOT Grant funds for spay/neuter for residents in the unincorporated Sacramento County region.
Project Schedule, Timeliness and Adaptability
Project Schedule
This project is ongoing. We receive calls for service every day.
In addition to providing the project timeline identified above, describe how you will be able to complete your project by June 30, 2023.
COVID has created inefficiencies that are hard to overcome. However, we are hopeful that both spay/neuter clinics can now proceed to serve more residents so we can meet our goals.
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.

CoVID impact to fund utilization in 2020-2021
The inability of the spay/neuter clinics to be efficient due to the safety protocols mandated by the pandemic created a huge backlog in requested spay/neuter surgeries. The wait for surgeries continue to be up to 5 months. CSNC has stopped taking canine appointments, since they are booked for 8 months. We anticipate $10,000 of our 2021-2022 grant funding will be unused. If that indeed occurs, we understand that this current grant will be reduced by any unspent funds.
Project Schedule:
Support for Community Cats will occur throughout the year, intensifying around the breeding seasons of Spring and Fall. Trapping will facilitate spay/neuter services to hold populations in check. The number of animals requiring spay/neuter this year will be greater due to a number of factors:
The CoVID pandemic has reduced the capacity for spay/neuter surgeries in the region.
Appointments are currently extended out 5 months as of March 2022. As restrictions are relaxed, the clinics can be more efficient.
The Sacramento SPCA had a grant to fully fund 10 ferals per day, which is now expired as of March 2022.
The clinics performing low-cost spay/neuter in the Sacramento Region are at capacity. The Northern California Community Cat Alliance, of which we are an active member, is working on solutions to allow more Community Cats to be altered, thus reducing the over-population pressures in shelters.
Costs for spay/neuter services at the clinics have increased, which requires more funding to support surgeries.

The SPCA has increased their prices for felines by $9 per surgery. We will be utilizing their program more going forward, since our volunteers are working on their own, we don’t have a central leader.
We are hoping the SPCA does start taking rabbits again.
The Sacramento SPCA has received grant funds to be able to alter feral cats at most Sunday clinics for no cost. But the number of spots are limited and the demand is high. Community Spay & Neuter Clinic performs free surgeries for Community Cats on a limited basis, as long as their grant funds hold out, but we don’t anticipate we can rely on this funding in FY 2022-2023. The RC Whisker Warriors take advantage of this program and any other grant funding whenever possible, but the number of slots for feral cats (the free program) are now booked out for months in advance.
E-voucher numbers are provided by RC Whisker Warriors. RC Whisker Warriors are responsible for determining that the pet owner lives in our city, or the feral trapper is trapping within the city limits.
Only 5 total vouchers are allowed per resident per year, 4 from the same species, unless the person is using TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) on community cats. Animal Services passes out postcards with our contact information to obtain the free services.
A detailed billing will be provided by the Sacramento SPCA and Community Spay & Neuter Clinic to the RC Whisker Warriors monthly for approval, invoices will then be sent to the City of Rancho Cordova for payment.
5 year plan
Other communities who have undertaken the challenge of animal overpopulation understood that fully meeting our goal of zero population growth will take years. Now that we have become more well known within the community, we anticipate the need for services will be similar for up to 4 more years. We have a particular challenge/opportunity with so much rental housing in our community.
CoVID has impacted our over-all plan. So many animals could not even get appointments for spay/neuter.
At the end of that period, we anticipate the need for Community Enhancement Funds to support this effort will be minimal. We believe that investing the funds now will pay dividends in the future. For instance, San Francisco had an aggressive program in place, and now they have NO kittens! If anyone wants to adopt one, they have to import them from other cities or rescue agencies.
We have found that residents who contact us have very limited funds. They love their pets and/or don’t want the stray cats to starve. Many are receiving food from us to continue to support these stray cats.
Reports:
Use of Funds Reports will be provided to the City semi-annually by the 15th calendar day of the month for the previous 6 months of activity.
Program Outcome Reports will be provided semi-annually, by the 15th calendar day of the month for the previous 6 months of activity.

Sustainability
The Rancho Cordova Whisker Warriors believes that the need for our services will continue at this high rate for several more years. We will actively seek more donations. However, we do not envision that the need for support will completely be eliminated.
The Whisker Warriors do provide services to the community above and beyond the services funded through the Community Enhancement Fund grant. Leveraging partnerships is key to fulfilling our mission.
Some of the areas in which we have used donations and partnerships to fulfill our mission:
Animal Education is a priority. We provide education to families at the numerous events we attend each year in the city. We are still hoping to put together a plan to go into the schools and provide classroom education.

Trailer Parks & Apartments We are concentrating efforts on partnering with the managers of these sites to control the population of animals in these locations. Senior aid We have been successful in engaging local businesses in our requests for donations for seniors. The end result is that we have been able to provide at-risk seniors with a stable source of cat and dog food through the Meals-On-Wheels program without the use of any grant funds. We also have been able to fully support dry cat food for an increasing number of homeless cat colonies in Rancho Cordova outside of the grant funds. We continue to seek opportunities to help seniors and other residents in need. Veterans Village at Mather We have had sufficient donations to provide pet beds, toys, treats and dog and cat food for the companion animals for all the Veterans at the Village. With all Phases now open (146 apartments), there are increased needs for both dog and cat food and supplies.
Adoptions We are partnering with the SPCA to foster kittens and cats that we bring to the shelter, or animals surrendered to the shelter. NorCal Freedom for Paws now adopts out dogs through PetSmart and other venues. We are also partnering with the Sacramento SPCA, Fat Kitty City and Animal Outreach of the Mother Lode to foster kittens and cats for adoption through their programs.
Care for Community Cats Humane trapping of new colony members and colony maintenance, including building of shelters and feeding stations, is provided by either Whisker Warriors or other trappers in the region. Animal Services Officers rely on us to help mitigate issues with stray or feral cats for residents. We also will partner with them on the return to field program with the SPCA. We partner with the Northern California Community Cat Alliance to provide services within Sacramento County. Volunteers with Sac Ferals and Cat Core Sacramento work with apartment managers, businesses and residents to provide solutions.
Thank you for caring for the animals of Rancho Cordova! Application #69

SafeStation®
Project Synopsis
SafeStation is an identification, detection and mitigation system that gives facilities owners and the public confidence to responsibly gather and enjoy sporting events, performing arts, shopping, traveling, or just going back to work ‐ in person, again... finally.
SafeStation® is the only system that provides a multi step processing sequence to reduce the risk of infectious diseases entering your facility and carriers unknowingly spreading disease to other guests and your valuable employees. https://www.safestation365.com/ Project Description
SafeStation® combines several proven and long standing technologies into one integrated packaged solution that allows efficient processing and screening of large quantities of entrants into a venue. SafeStation® detection technology includes not only standard metal detection but also the latest in thermal imaging to measure human body temperature in a safe, quick and non‐contact process that allows near instant detection of persons having a fever (suggesting infection of a communicable disease). Further, SafeStation® takes the next step by employing spread mitigation technologies that are safe to humans but deadly to viruses and bacteria.
SafeStation® does NOT and CANNOT claim to "sanitize" or "purify" humans and their clothing and belongings, but uses far‐UVC 222 nm lightwash wavelength doses (again, in low exposure, human safe quantities) to neutralize as many pathogens as possible residing on a person and their belongings. In some platforms O3 infused HEPA filtered air is also used as an additional option. Where inanimate objects may be processed separate from guests, an even higher and more effective far‐UVC 222 nm dose is used in that product configuration. The result is a guest or tens of thousands of guests who are screened for possession of weapons and for elevated body temperature suggesting infection of contagious disease PRIOR to entering your building or venue. Further, you will have a best practice and best in class process of using efficient, non‐invasive, passive elements to reduce the possibility of these guests carrying disease into your venue ON them, not just IN them.

2 The SafeStation launch team endeavors to complete phase one of prototyping three product type deployments in Q2, 2022 including a gateframe unit for more fixed installations, a portable unit geared towards EMS applications and also a ceiling mounted fan unit for space sanitization. Goal is to place units in qualified venues for data and voice of customer gathering to refine the designs for commercial use and sale by Q4, 2022. The SafeStation team, based in Rancho Cordova, would like to place units for use and to the benefit of Rancho Cordova venue(s) and public services for this data and VOC feedback phase, and also promote SafeStation as an incubator and startup company that chose to base itself in and build a business and create jobs in Rancho Cordova going forward.
SafeStation intends to be a fully functioning LLC with goals of profitably supplying solutions across the United States Q1 2023 and beyond.

3 In addition to providing the project timeline identified above, describe how you will be able to complete your project by June 30, 2023.
Initial proof of concept work has already completed and supply chain has been 75% established already. Correct human resources already in place with executive leadership, engineering, production and sales personnel already engaged. This phase of the project (what is being described in this application) is targeted to complete in the next 6 months, not next 15 months.
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.
This project could adjust according to health orders. SafeStation was "born" during the 2020 stay at home orders and significant marketing, sales and engineering headway was achieved and the brand and product plans were developed. Product is and could be built and tested outside of California and Sacramento County and no on site personnel in CA or Sacramento County are technically required at this phase of SafeStation development.

Home and Neighborhood Improvement Campaign
Project Synopsis
This project will enhance the residents’ quality of life, community pride, and engagement. It will result in improvements at 30 homes owned by residents with low‐income, older adults, those with disabilities, or families with children. 13‐15 homes will receive critical, health, safety, efficiency, and beautification upgrades. The remaining homes will receive minor safety modifications.
Project Description
This project will support Rebuilding Together’s commitment to improving homes and neighborhoods in the City. The two year home improvement campaign will enhance the residents’ quality of life, community pride, and engagement. This project is also aligned with the Housing Element’s goal to encourage the improvement, rehabilitation, and revitalization/reinvestment of the City’s existing residential neighborhoods. This is a two‐year request to improve 30 homes each year. Both years, 13‐15 homes will receive extensive health, safety, efficiency, and beautification upgrades and 10‐12 will receive minor safety modifications. The work will vary per home but will include upgrades such as landscaping, fencing, roofs, accessibility modifications, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, carpentry, and energy efficiency. The work will occur throughout the year by volunteer groups, contractors, students, Americorps members, etc. The selection process includes community outreach, an application process, and a home preview using a safe and healthy homes assessment. The assessment is focused on identifying deficiencies in the homes related to the principles of keeping the home safe, dry, ventilated, pest‐free, accessible, energy‐efficient, and maintained. We also identify exterior improvements to enhance the look of the home and neighborhood. The homeowner is also interviewed to identify any other issues such as food insecurity. Community and City resource information is shared with those in need of additional assistance. Tackling substandard housing in neighborhoods cannot be accomplished by one organization in isolation no matter the quality of services and resources invested. We leverage the strengths of volunteers and partners including nonprofit and faith‐based organizations, local businesses, financial institutions, occupational therapists, and other service providers to accomplish the project goals.
Project Team
Rebuilding Together has improved over 8,000 homes and 98 nonprofit facilities, and hosted home improvement events for 30 years in the Sacramento area. In 2014, we developed a strong relationship with the City that has resulted in hundreds of homes improved Application #72

2 through our various programs since 2014. The staff is experienced at working with volunteers, contractors, and partners to improve homes and neighborhoods. In 2022, the occupants in 10 of the Rancho Cordova homes benefited from a partnership with Occupational Therapy graduate students. They met with the homeowners, performed home safety assessments, and provided support and education about safe living. Their findings were incorporated into the home’s scope of work. Additional Volunteers and Partners may include, but are not limited to: ● Trained “House Captains” and “Volunteer Coordinators" oversee the work on some of the homes. ● Typically, 25‐50 volunteers per home ● Workforce development programs, businesses, faith organizations, schools, service clubs ● SMUD: Weatherization audits, energy saving measures ● Sacramento Tree Foundation ● Republic Services ● Real Estate Associations ● Agency on Aging and other sponsors: Funding for accessibility modifications Staff involved in the project to varying degrees include: Executive Director: Grant management, planning, and staff supervision. Rebuild Event Program Manager and Assistant: Coordinate the outreach, home previews and selection, work scope planning, supply management, resource development, labor recruitment and training, logistics, partnership development, reporting, evaluation, and homeowner relations.
The team works closely with the City staff to coordinate outreach and services. Safe at Home Manager and Assistant: Provide home safety services at the homes. Resource Development and Marketing Manager: Coordinates community outreach Financial Administrator: Financial tracking and invoicing. Contractors: Provide skilled labor as needed.
Project Goals
The ultimate project goal is to decrease the number of individuals living in substandard housing and improve the housing stock in the City of Rancho Cordova. Specifically, we will achieve the following goals: 1) Quality of Life: Improve the health, safety, efficiency, and curb appeal at 13‐15 homes. The homes are selected using a Safe and Healthy Homes assessment tool. The goal is to address 80% of the deficiencies identified. Provide the participants with information about other community resources and additional assessments and support provided by Occupational Therapy graduate students. 2) Safety: Increase the residents’ safety and independence by 50% in an additional 15‐17 homes by providing safety items such as shower and bath grab bars, stair handrails, shower stools, toilet risers, etc. 3) Community Engagement and Civic Pride: Provide opportunities for the homeowners to meet other residents and learn about City services. Provide opportunities for residents to volunteer to improve the community. Coordinate services with other City services as needed. 4) Workforce Development: Provide training opportunities for young adults and underserved individuals in training programs at a minimum of 5 homes.
Funding Request

3 We are requesting the grant for a two‐year period of time to maximize the use of the funds and achieve the best results. It typically takes up to 3‐5 months to ramp up before repairs can occur. By moving to a two‐year project the startup time is eliminated the second year. We can select all the homes earlier to avoid starting over the next year. It allows for more time building relationships with the homeowners and partners, raising funds and recruiting volunteers. This approach is more attractive to funders because of the wider spread impact. We are confident in the ability to secure financial, human and in‐kind resources due to 30 years of experience. The project is valid if it is only funded for one year.
How many years have you received funding for this project? 7 When will your request for funding sunset for ongoing programs? We will continue to need City funding to provide the same type of project in the future. We will continue to seek and leverage outside services and support to increase the impact on each home.
Do you plan to ask annually for funding?
Yes
What other funding will you seek to support your project? Yes, our Board of Directors and staff is committed to working in communities, such as Rancho Cordova, where there is an interest in neighborhood improvement and the residents’ well‐being. Our close working relationship with Rancho Cordova staff has resulted in a positive experience for all and tremendous results. We plan to continue asking for funding as the need is growing, particularly among the low‐income, older adult population who have limited housing options. We seek sponsorships from organizations such as businesses, service clubs, faith‐based groups to support the project. We layer additional funds to provide additional critical repairs such as roofs as needed.
Project Schedule, Timeliness and Adaptability
Project Schedule
If we are awarded funding for two years, the project will occur between August 2022 and June 2024.
In addition to providing the project timeline identified above, describe how you will be able to complete your project by June 30, 2023.
Year One Community outreach: August ‐ November Outreach includes mailings, coordination with City staff, Code Enforcement, communication with local organizations, etc. We also consider homes that have participated in our other home improvement services in the City. Application processing and home previews: October ‐ December 10 If appropriate applications are received, some homes will be selected in the Fall so work can begin earlier than January. The homes that receive minor home safety work only will occur beginning in August. Scope of work development: A plan is created for each home based on need, labor, and budget.
Some of the homes are selected for one‐day projects and others with heavier scopes will occur over time, but be completed prior to June 30 . Workdays: Volunteer workdays will be scheduled throughout the year depending on volunteer availability and the scope of work. Skilled contractors will be scheduled as needed. Year Two: Outreach and home previews will occur during the first year to ensure that an adequate number of homes are selected for the next year. The timeline in Year One will be repeated during Year Two, although work will begin in the Fall on those homes selected the prior year.
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.
Yes, we modified our model the past two years resulting in 100% CEIF grant compliance. We have integrated some of the adjustments and lessons learned into our current model which is flexible in case the orders change again.

ATTACHMENT: Rebuilding Together
He took his first shower in five years thanks to the work of Rebuilding Together and the City of Rancho Cordova.
There are too many examples of work supported by the City of Rancho Cordova to include. This is one example of the impact as expressed by the homeowner.
The improvements included landscaping, exterior paint, fence repair, wheelchair ramp, hoist for her husband to get into the shower and into bed, and a water heater. Prior to the work, she gave him sponge baths. After the work was completed, he was able to get into the shower for the first time in 5 years.
The work was performed by volunteers, contractors, and staff. Additional resources were leveraged to complete the work.
Impact: Beautification, accessibility, safety, security, and hot water.
LETTER FROM A HOMEOWNER
My husband and I are just one of the families that Rebuilding Together has done so much for this year. I am writing because I wanted to let you know how great this program and all of the people who work for it are. I cannot tell you how much we appreciate all that was done with the funding the City of Rancho Cordova provided.
My husband had a stroke 5 years ago and I retired from my job to stay home to take care of him. He had a caregiver for 1 year while I continued to work but I probably don't have to tell you how expensive that is.
Since we had to live on our combined social security paychecks there was no way we could even keep up with all of the maintenance an older home requires. If it was not for Rebuilding Together and the City of Rancho Cordova I don't know what may have happened.
All of the people who have worked on it have been so kind and cheerful and never made us feel like we were just a couple of old people who couldn't do anything for ourselves.
Thank you and thank the City for making this possible. We need programs and people like this now more than ever.

Project Information
Project Name
Locomotive Storage Building
Project Synopsis
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.
Project Description
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. That is something community members can be proud of, as the Sacramento Valley Live Steamers Railroad Museum certainly improves the quality of life for the residents of the city. 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 shortline railroads. Such a building existed at the terminus of the (formerly) 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.
Project Team
President Andy Berchelli – experienced project manager. Has overseen several key projects including the replacement of the museum’s tractor three years ago, rebuilding of a major bridge on the railroad, and overseeing a previous grant that funded over $100,000 to build an irrigation system for the museum grounds. Vice-president Dennis Gramith – experienced leader. Dennis is a retired fire chief with Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District. As a museum volunteer for over forty years, Dennis has many longstanding relationships with key personnel at the park administrator’s office and at city hall. Volunteer Philip Huntingdale- a structural engineer along with the collaboration of Clausen Engineers, Emeryville, California. Both engineers have vast experience in the design, construction management, and supervision of overall commercial building projects. Application #73 ITEM 12.4. ATTACHMENT 3

Measure H Committee,
The Sacramento Valley Live Steamers Railroad Museum (SVLSRM) is applying for a measure H Grant to construct a Locomotive Storage building at our Hagan Park location that houses our organization.
The SVLSRM has been a member of the community for over forty years. The membership includes members in the city of Rancho Cordova, and surrounding areas in California. The railroad consists of over a mile of mainline track used to provide an educational experience to members of the community. SVLSRM provides public rides on the first weekend of each month beginning in March, as well as the annual Fourth of July in the park, our Pumpkin Patch event in October and Santa Train the first two weekends of December. We also provide rides on our portable track at the Rancho Cordova Christmas Tree Lighting. We served over 10,000 riders in 2021.
The SVLSRM is constantly rejuvenating the railroad and adding features for the public enjoyment. In the last few years an elevated G scale railroad (garden railroad) has added to the enjoyment of the family members and community children. Our organization, 222 members are growing and many are at the park providing a clean area and maintaining our approximately 8 acres. In 2021 the members have contributed 4,592 hours in volunteer time to maintain the park, track, storage facilities, and restrooms for the public enjoyment of public runs and birthday parties.
During the last few years the existing facility has out grown the storage space available for locomotives and public riding cars. The pandemic created a need for more ride cars and gondolas that were used to maintain social distancing of the family riders when we were able to operate. We took pride in providing rides later in 2020 and early 2021 with separating the passenger cars. The public welcomed the SVLSRM opportunity to ride the trains during those trying times.
The Board has determined the need for additional storage and is submitting this request for funding to solve the needs of the organization and its equipment.
Please consider the SVLSRM for your March 2022 Measure H Grant. The goal is to be able to continue and expand the services expected by the public.
This budget was prepared by Philip Huntingdale, a Structural Engineer along with the collaboration of Clausen Engineers, Emeryville, California. Both engineers have vast experience in the design, construction management and supervision of overall commercial building projects. The budget has assumed prevailing wages and has tried to evaluate where construction costs are at present time. The cost of materials and labor are currently evolving upward rapidly and it is hard to get a firm cost for some parts of the project. SVLSRM will have final approval of any changes and all construction plans.
The Board is very appreciative of the support we have received over the years from the City of Rancho Cordova and Rancho Cordova Recreation and Parks. We would like your consideration of SVLSRM request for Measure H funding.
Please let us know if anything further is needed. Application #73 ITEM 12.4. ATTACHMENT 3

SVLSRM Locomotive Storage Building
PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS
March 9, 2022
A. Project Outline -
The SVLSRM wishes to construct Locomotive Storage building for storage of SVLSRM equipment and members equipment.
The storage building will be accessed from existing steaming bay number 5. The building will have a transfer table located at the north-west end of the bay, planned to be 16 feet long, and slide laterally about 36 feet. The building will be located at the north-west end of the transfer table.
Generally the building is 25 feet by 28 feet, about 10 feet of height. The floor and foundation is concrete, walls are concrete block, and roof is metal decking. The building will have three 7 feet wide by 7 feet high metal double hinged doors. Each door will access three storage double stacked tracks, randomly spaced to suit various sized locomotives.
The transfer table includes an undercarriage for the lateral movement, and a table panel will provide vertical movement. The steaming bay is about 24 inches above grade, storage building floor slab about 14 inches above grade, and second level storage about 40 inches above the floor slab elevation. The vertical lift for the table panel will be about 48 inches, by electric activated scissor lift.
The SVLSRM wishes to obtain a Turn Key proposal for the Project.
B. Project Scope -
Turn Key construction is such that a general contractor will be responsible for the complete project. That is to say the coordination of the project is their responsibility. The General Contractor would be responsible for building documents procured, any site surveying, permits, construction of all phases of the building and transfer table, coordinate all required services, and obtain the Notice of Completion, Release of Leans, and Certificate of Occupancy. Money distribution and approvals of such are generally coordinated thru the owner and SVLSRM coordinators by way of the source of the financing. All work shall be as stated in this document and consistent with commercial building standards of the industry.

Project Information
Project Name
RCFL Capacity Expansion
Project Synopsis
RCFL plans to purchase and install two large refrigeration units (a cooler and a freezer) to handle the greatly increased quantities of cold/frozen foods provided by Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services (SFBFS) and other local businesses/private donors.
Project Description
RCFL plans to use grant funds for two purposes: 1) First, to design, purchase, and install new (or perhaps used) commercial-grade refrigeration equipment in the most appropriate location(s) to best meet operational needs. The new refrigeration equipment would be large and pallet-jack-friendly. 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 RCFL’s current facility instead of the contracted warehouse. The freezer would accommodate the donation of hundreds of turkeys for the annual Thanksgiving and Christmas Giveaways. This is currently RCFL’s most vexing problem for storing frozen foods. The cooling unit would accommodate the huge donations of produce and other refrigerated items, especially during the warmer months. This is consistently problematic due to the short shelf-life of such foods. The new refrigeration unit would also allow RCFL to end its lease of one smaller walk-in cooler at a cost savings of over $800/month. The new equipment would greatly expand RCFL’s food-processing capacity and also greatly improve its cost efficiency for storage. 2) 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. Such funds would continue until the grant period expires, or until the residual grant funding is exhausted, whichever occurs first. Due to inflation, undetermined size/configuration of the units, volatile supply chain issues, permits, engineering costs, and other considerations, estimated costs are very uncertain. Therefore, any inadvertent overestimation of purchase/installation costs would be used to help RCFL achieve sustainability despite this period of operational “sea-change.” If costs are underestimated, RCFL would bear the burden of those unanticipated excess costs.

Goal #1: To expand RCFL’s capacity for storage and handling of refrigerated and frozen food donations/purchases to meet current and expected future demands. Metric #1: To have an appropriate engineering contractor design the needed commercial grade refrigeration units (one cooler and one freezer) by December 31, 2022. Metric #2: To sign appropriate contracts for purchase and installation of the refrigeration units at the selected site(s) by December 31, 2022. Metric #3: To complete installation of the City-permitted, commercial grade cooler and freezer units at the selected location(s) by May 31, 2023. Goal #2: To improve RCFL’s capacity-building efforts by extending financial support for the sought rented/leased off-site food storage/processing warehouse still in procurement. (See Note below under “Estimated breakdown of project expenditures.”) Metric #4: To augment (as residual grant CEIF funds permit) the grant funds anticipated from SFBFS to cover the monthly rental/lease costs of the sought off-site food storage and processing warehouse by June 30, 2023 Metric #5: To improve facility and operational compliance with applicable SFBFS food-handling regulations (as demonstrated by results of any periodic SFBFS inspections) by June 30, 2023.
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
$250,000
Estimated Breakdown of Project Expenditures
Refrigeration-units design plans, & applicable City permits: $15,000 Installation/upgrade of electrical service:
$10,000 Forklift-rated concrete foundation & pathways (if required): $30,000 Purchase/delivery/installation of refrigeration units: $175,000 Inflation adjustment for costs (Mar 2022 thru Jun 2023) $20,000 ______________________________________________________________________________ Total: $250,000 Note: Any grant funds remaining after installation of the refrigeration units is complete would be used for monthly rental/lease payments for the off-site food storage and processing warehouse (now still in the procurement stage).
Matching Funds
The Catholic Diocese of Sacramento is directly supportive of RCFL activities and has its Chief of Catholic Charities on RCFL’s BOD to oversee the latter’s activities. The Diocese has also donated to RCFL in the past, and future financial support is anticipated contingent upon funding available. In addition, the Diocese donates the use of the current facilities on the grounds of St. John Vianney Catholic Church. RCFL’s long-term objective (consistent with the Strategic Plan to achieve sustainability) is to transition to an off-site operation large enough to meet future demand.
Such demand will be generated not only by existing/projected economic challenges, but also by State law governing food recycling. Rental/lease of the sought food-storage warehouse is planned as a transition step toward the longterm objective. Therefore, the value of the current donated facilities is estimated to be at least $5,000 per month, or a $60,000 annual contribution. Moreover, as a mostly volunteer-based operation, RCFL has about 20 regular volunteers, and another 50-100 volunteers who are earning high school credit, performing community service, or helping at the annual Thanksgiving and Christmas Giveaways. An average of 8 volunteers/day, 4 hours/day, 3 days/week, provide a total of 4,800 hours of free labor. If their wages were only $15 per hour, that amounts to a $72,000 annual contribution. Other Funding Contributions: RCFL has ultimate responsibility for monthly rental payments for the contracted off-site food storage and processing warehouse through the end of the contract term.
If SFBFS and CEIF grant funding are inadequate, RCFL will make those payments.

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.
RCFL expects that it will still be able to fulfill its oversight responsibilities despite possible changes in California Public Health and/or Sacramento County Health Orders. However, it is unknown whether such changes might greatly Application #74
ITEM 12.4. ATTACHMENT 3
affect the contractor’s ability to perform their contracted responsibilities. If such changes include “stay-at-home” directives for “non-essential” workers, this project would likely have to halt. But, if such changes are issued and they reinstate previous less-severe restrictions, RCFL anticipates that the contractor would be able to comply with them by providing Personal Protective Equipment for its employees and also implementing proven-effective operational requirements (e.g., social distancing, ventilation, and other measures).

Attachment 1 – Continuation of Content in Online Application Form Project Description (continued)
Based on current information, RCFL believes this is the most reasonable and cost-effective option to address RCFL’s desperately needed expansion of warehouse capacity. The new refrigeration equipment would also provide extra capacity as demand for RCFL services continues to rapidly grow.
Recent patron statistics confirm sharp increases, which are expected to continue due to the current economic volatility.
By providing food to the hungry, RCFL’s operations directly and favorably affect the City’s most vulnerable and economically challenged groups, such as children, the unemployed and under employed, the elderly, the physically challenged, recent immigrants, and the homeless. This in turn enhances the City’s efforts to improve education for children/youth, civic engagement, community pride, public safety, and overall quality of life.
