SP-65 Lead-based Paint Hazards - 91.415, 91.215(i)
Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards All of the City's owner-occupied housing rehabilitation and emergency repair programs will continue to address lead-based paint hazards, including lead paint stabilization and removal when necessary. Any multi-family housing or public facility renovated with City funds will need to be tested for lead-based paint, and have any paint hazards abated according to code. The City also posts information on the website and at City Hall that provides resources to contractors and developers who will be working on projects that may lead to lead poisoning from lead-based paint or other lead-based building components. The information can be found
here: https://www.cityofranchocordova.org/home/showdocument?id=8663 How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? All of the City's housing rehabilitation and emergency repair programs include an evaluation for the presence of lead-based paint. Homeowners and occupants are provided lead-based paint information and education regardless of when their home was built. Homes built before 1978 are tested for lead- based paint on any exposed surfaces, particularly if paint is chipping or if wood or plaster is exposed.
The tests are completed by hazardous material experts, and the stabilization and sealing of the painted surface becomes a priority for the rehabilitation or emergency repair.

SP-70 Anti-Poverty Strategy - 91.415, 91.215(j)
Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty-Level Families The City's anti-poverty strategy is heavily reliant on regional cooperation, including support from the SHRA and Sacramento County, as well as cooperation with nonprofit service providers and partner agencies. As housing is usually the highest single expense facing impoverished families, the City will continue to explore avenues to build and rehabilitate new and existing affordable housing. The Folsom Cordova Community Partnership is currently partnering with Sacramento Employment Training Agency to develop job training programs for low-income and single-parent families, including focusing on skills currently in high demand locally. The Los Rios Community College District opened a brand-new satellite campus in central Rancho Cordova, and offers both education and job training courses.
The City is always looking for opportunities to partner and leverage programs and service providers to build service capacity and improve the depth of available resources. However, the cycle of poverty is difficult to break, and the City needs support from the SHRA, Sacramento Steps Forward, and Sacramento County, which control the bulk of social services funding, to help stop poverty in the region.
How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan
Housing cost burden and severe housing cost burden were identified as the most common housing problems facing impoverished households in the City. New and rehabilitated affordable housing with regulatory agreements and rents affordable to households making less than 50 percent of AMI are vital in addressing the problem of poverty. The City, in partnership with Mercy Housing, has completed the majority of the Mather Veterans Village project, which provides 100 units affordable to very low-and extremely low-income veterans and their families.
The City is also working with developers on the Horizons at New Rancho project, which, at completion, will provide 48 age-restricted senior units to households making less than 80 percent AMI, with several units dedicated to very low- and extremely low-income senior households.

SP-80 Monitoring - 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and will use to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements
City staff have communicated with the subrecipients’ staff that are responsible for each activity prior to the beginning of the program year. All subrecipients were informed of the obligations to collect the required information on income, household composition, and race and ethnicity. Subrecipients reviewed and signed subrecipient agreements that provide the terms and expectations pursuant to applicable federal and state law. The City also offered a group technical assistance training session at the beginning of the year to go over subrecipient agreement policies, data collection, and financial management. Staff provided technical assistance to subrecipients throughout the year as needed.
On a quarterly basis, City staff examined the progress the subrecipients were making toward performance targets through desk monitoring. Subrecipients are required to report the demographics of their service population with each billing, including additional supporting information such as general ledger and program accounting documents. Each subrecipient agreement contains provisions for reductions to or suspensions of payments in the event that targets are not being met (without valid reason) or past performance issues have not been resolved.
The City has continued to place strong emphasis on the importance for subrecipients to gather complete and accurate information on the persons and/or households they serve, and to regularly report their progress.
In the 2018-19 program year, the City conducted an on-site audit of the SSHH and Meals on Wheels in collaboration with other local grantors, and in 2019 conducted a monitoring of the City’s Public Works Department’s 2018-19 ADA Sidewalk Improvement project. Additionally, the City conducted desk monitoring on all CDBG-funded programs throughout the 2019 program year and plans to continue this monitoring throughout the 2020 program year. The CDBG program has successfully met expenditure deadlines in years past and will continue to meet these deadlines throughout the Consolidated Plan cycle. The City is also current on quarterly and semi-annual reports due to HUD.

Introduction
The City of Rancho Cordova has been successful at finding and applying for alternative funding sources to help meet affordable housing development needs. These sources have included tax credits, infrastructure infill grants, sustainable communities grants, veterans housing grants, and, for the single-family owner-occupied housing rehabilitation program, CalHome funding. The City has also pursued other state of California housing funds whenever they seemed appropriate.
The City receives approximately $300,000 in HOME funds through lead agency County of Sacramento. The City does not currently receive ESG or other HUD funds directly from the federal government or from the State of California.
The City received $634,613 in CDBG funding for the 2020 plan year. These allocation amounts were calculated based on competitive application scoring process; contingency provisions for the SSHH Renters Helpline and Fair Housing Services activities are outlined in this Annual Action Plan; for a detailed description of explanations behind allocations, refer to section AP-35.
In 2020, HUD allocated the City $373,379 in CDBG-CV funding in the first round of allocations and $487,938 in the third round to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus pandemic.

Table 18 - Expected Resources – Priority Table
Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
Federal funds require additional regulation, labor compliance standards, and administration that can add a significant cost burden to a new affordable housing project or a rehabilitation project. Unless the available funding can sufficiently offset the additional cost and labor burden inherent in federal funds, it can actually be costly to a project’s budget to include CDBG or HOME as funding sources. For new construction and large-scale rehabilitation of affordable housing, the City prefers to pursue funding that does not significantly increase the building cost, unless there are sufficient federal funds to benefit the project’s bottom line. The CDBG allocation to the City does not add sufficient value to offset the increased costs for most of the City's affordable housing development efforts. Therefore, the City focuses CDBG funding either on projects that are already burdened with the federal reporting requirements or on projects where there is no other viable funding source and the project can be completed with only CDBG funding. The City’s CDBG program does not have any matching requirements.
With respect to public service projects funded with CDBG funds, to best leverage the City’s available resources, the City will continue to look for opportunities to layer private and non-federal resources with federal resources and to require that CDBG subrecipients demonstrate sufficient committed non-CDBG funding, so that projects and services will have the best results for the community and the low- and very low-income residents they are intended to serve. These sources include tax credits, infrastructure infill grants, sustainable community grants, veterans housing grants, and, for the single-family owner-occupied housing rehabilitation program, CalHome funding. The City has also pursued other state of California housing funds whenever appropriate.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan The City uses publicly owned land and property to support CDBG-funded administrative, planning, and project activities. The City also uses City cars, which are used for the CDBG-funded code enforcement and rental housing inspection activities to transport the code enforcement officers to the different sites that are being inspected. Additionally, City Hall equipment is used to administer the day-to-day activities of planning and administration for the CDBG program.
The Folsom Cordova Community Partnership uses public school district property to hold mentor initiative classes for their youth programs, while the Meals on Wheels Senior Nutrition program uses the City’s Senior Center, which is owned by the Cordova Recreation and Park District, to provide hot meals to seniors. In the future, the City plans to use City-owned property to build affordable housing developments.
Discussion
The City intends to use CDBG funds to support programs and projects that can best benefit from the additional funding. Because the City's CDBG allocation is very limited, the City plans to complete the costlier housing improvements and production through partnerships and the use of alternative funds.

Introduction
HUD allocated $634,613 in CDBG funds to the City for the 2020 program year and an additional $861,317 from CDBG-CV. Project applications were received and reviewed by an independent group, as well as by City staff. Each application was scored according to criteria that the City established as part of the Consolidated Plan process. Criteria included the organization’s capacity to successfully complete projects and programs, past project management performance, CDBG funding eligibility, how closely the project matched with the National Objectives laid out by HUD, and how thoroughly the projects addressed the community needs identified in this Consolidated Plan. Please refer to Attachment F for a copy of the application scoring rubric and application questions.
The City plans to continue funding for health and safety improvements to residents’ homes, public infrastructure improvements for ADA accessibility, and to continue funding public services activities with its CDBG funding, as there are relatively few other funding sources available to finance these activities.
Within public services, the City prioritized activities serving seniors and youth, fair housing support, and homelessness prevention efforts in the community.
Funding amounts in the table below are based on scoring criteria from the submitted program applications. Specified entitlement CDBG funding amounts for the 2020 program year were approved by City Council in April 2020. Furthermore, CDBG-CV funding amounts in table AP-38 below were approved by City Council at regularly scheduled City Council meetings on June 1, 2020, February 1, 2021, and November 1, 2021, and April 3, 2023.
Note: Round 1 CDBG-CV activity funding has been reduced to actual expenditures. Unspent funds were used to fund Rollover (2022) activities. Additionally, the Round 3 Navigator activity was cancelled on August 27, 2021 and its funds were also used to fund Rollover (2022) activities. # Project Name

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
Priorities are allocated first by need, second by the availability of sufficient resources to support a successful program or project, and third by the availability of local service providers to respond to the needs. The primary obstacle to addressing underserved needs is a shortage of resources, primarily funding.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution - 91.420, 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed Geographic distribution of activities is widely varied, but most take place in or near low- and moderate- income areas. As seen on the attached CDBG Target Area map (Attachment G), the CDBG target area is dispersed throughout the City, allowing for a spread of eligible activities. The specific location of an activity largely depends on the type of activity. Some of the City’s 2020 activities, such as the Meals on Wheels and Housing Counseling program, are able to serve populations across the entire city, while other projects and programs are located and provided to populations in the CDBG target area. The ADA Sidewalk Improvement project, Rental Housing Inspection Program, and Code Enforcement program will take place in the City’s designated CDBG target areas.

Table 21 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically Three activities are prioritized in the CDBG target area: the ADA Sidewalk Improvement Project, Rental Housing Inspection Program, and the Code Enforcement Program. These activities use a geographic boundary to identify which areas are eligible for infrastructure repair and tracks the number of units inspected, new cases opened, violations cleared, and staff hours spent in addressing housing problems in the CDBG target area.
Discussion
The City of Rancho Cordova strives to make all of its programs and activities available to eligible low- and moderate-income residents regardless of gender, race, national origin, age, source of income, familial/marital status, religious affiliation, or disability. As a result, all public service programs, including senior services, youth services, and housing counseling, will be available to residents citywide.
Significant additional funding will also be used in the low- and moderate-income areas, as needed, for capital projects and programs. Because much of the existing city is in the CDBG target area, providing capital infrastructure improvements and housing preservation services in the CDBG target area allows a significant portion of the city to receive improvements. Similar services are provided to neighborhoods outside the target area and are funded via other funding sources.

Introduction
The Community Development Department will be responsible for the management, implementation, and monitoring of the Consolidated Plan documents, including the Action Plan.
City staff will administer the programs and activities funded with CDBG funds. These staff members will work with the individual City departments, such as Public Works, as well as partner districts, such as the Folsom Cordova Unified School District, to develop procedures and coordinate the administration of programs that will be carried out by these departments and districts. Designated staff will also work closely with the providers of CDBG-funded services and programs that are not carried out by the City.
While there are several constraints to meeting the needs of target-income residents, the primary obstacle is the lack of available resources for services within the City’s boundaries.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The need for affordable housing for lower-income households and supportive housing for persons with special needs continues to exceed available resources. The City has provided services and has worked to offer housing opportunities to underserved groups, including homeless individuals and veterans with disabilities. The City continues its active participation in County efforts, the Mather Veterans Administration Hospital, and service provider initiatives to locate and develop a continuum of housing opportunities for disabled veterans.
The City also plans to use its CDBG funds to promote the local provision of services for low- and moderate-income residents in Rancho Cordova. Furthermore, the City will encourage area service providers to offer services in the community. In the 2020 program year, several organizations (including Sacramento Self-Help Housing, Meals on Wheels, and Folsom Cordova Community Partnership) will provide services in Rancho Cordova.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing According to the City’s Housing Element, there are 17 housing developments located in Rancho Cordova providing subsidized housing, with a total of 1,585 low- and very low-income units. Subsidized units account for approximately 7 percent of the total housing stock. The City of Rancho Cordova does not have its own local housing authority. Resident initiatives are handled directly by SHRA. The remainder of the affordable housing units are operated by various nonprofits. The most prominent of these is VOA, which operates the Mather Community Campus transitional housing program, and Mercy Housing, which operates the 100 units of permanent supportive housing at the Mather Veterans Village.
The City has undertaken a number of actions to reduce potential barriers and constraints to affordable ITEM 10.1.
ATTACHMENT 2
Consolidated Plan RANCHO CORDOVA 112
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
housing and housing for special needs populations. These actions include identifying funds in support of affordable housing development and offering fee reductions, regulatory incentives, density incentives, and the operation of a home rehabilitation and repair program, as well as several other options. These can be found with additional detail in the City’s 2013–2021 Housing Element. The Housing Element includes a thorough analysis of governmental and regulatory barriers to affordable housing. The City has been aggressive in pursuing affordable housing development opportunities and has mitigated regulatory barriers as effectively as possible.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City complies with the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 as implemented in 24 CFR 35 Subpart B. Compliance includes the following strategies:
• Housing Rehabilitation: All housing rehabilitation activities funded under this plan will assess lead hazard risk before proceeding, including the planned Emergency Repair Grant Program.
This applies to any work on structures constructed prior to January 1, 1978. The work will comply with the appropriate level of protection indicated in 24 CFR 35.100. • All work on homes constructed prior to January 1, 1978, will have a lead hazard risk assessment conducted as described in 24 CFR 35.110.
• At the completion of any prescribed lead hazard reduction activities, a clearance examination is required as described in 24 CFR 35.110.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City continues to fund public services intended to help poverty-level families. The City’s anti- poverty strategy is based on revitalizing Rancho Cordova’s existing housing stock to provide safe and decent places to live, and on supporting the services of social services agencies that promote income and housing stability. The City’s strategy also includes supportive services for target-income residents, including senior and youth services. For example, the City continues to fund the SSHH, as the SSHH provides vital services and resources to families who are homeless or are at risk of homelessness.
The City also continues to fund other anti-poverty programs such as the Senior Nutrition program offered by Meals on Wheels. Additionally, the City funds the Folsom Cordova Community Partnership’s Group Mentoring Initiative. This program supports youth and enhances community involvement through intensive one-on-one youth mentoring to help improve economic opportunities for low-income youth in Rancho Cordova.
The City also uses non-federal funds to support many programs and projects, such as job training, through the Community Enhancement Fund. In the 2020 program year, multiple programs will receive funding from both CDBG funds and Community Enhancement funds; those programs include Meals on Wheels, Rebuilding Together Sacramento, the ADA Sidewalk Improvement project, and Folsom Cordova Community Partnership Youth Mentoring Initiative.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City of Rancho Cordova has developed a monitoring system to ensure that the activities carried out in furtherance of the Action Plan are done so in a timely manner in accordance with the federal monitoring requirements of 24 CFR 570.501 and 2 CFR 200 and all other applicable laws, regulations, policies, and sound management and accounting practices. The objectives of the monitoring plan are described in more detail in the Consolidated Plan.
The City’s Community Development Department will be responsible for the management, implementation, and monitoring of the Consolidated Plan documents, including the Action Plan and all other subsequent documents related to the implementation of the CDBG program.
City staff will administer the programs and activities funded with CDBG funds. These staff members will work with the individual City divisions, such as Public Works, as well as partner districts, such as Folsom Cordova Unified School District, to develop procedures and coordinate the administration of programs that will be carried out by these divisions. Designated staff will also work closely with the providers of CDBG-funded services and programs that are not carried out by the City.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
Staff has continually strived to provide training opportunities and technical assistance to grant subrecipients and has worked to establish “best practices,” with the goal of integrating them into the day-to-day and long-term implementation of the program. In addition, the City is continuing its initiative to coordinate activities with neighboring cities, especially in regard to responding to fair housing-related efforts. Coordinated efforts include joint monitoring of common service providers, standardizing reporting requirements to encourage efficiency and consistency, and sharing information from workshops.
During the 2020 program year, the City will implement contracts with local service organizations and City departments that provide assistance to seniors, youth populations, households at risk of homelessness, public improvements, and housing preservation. These subrecipients have all received CDBG funding in the past from the City. City staff and City Council have realized the continuing need for these services and have instituted the multi-year contracts to provide continuity of services and help reduce administrative burden.
In addition, in the 2017-18 program year, the City and surrounding jurisdictions pursued a regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI). The City entered a Memorandum of Understanding with the SHRA, and neighboring jurisdictions including the cities of Citrus Heights and Elk Grove, to cost- share the fees to conduct an AI. The AI was completed in the fall of 2019 and the results are utilized by each participating agency for their respective Consolidated and Annual Action Plans, and for SHRA’s Public Housing Authority and Capital Fund Plans.

The City will continue its work with neighboring jurisdictions, such as the County of Sacramento, City of Sacramento, City of Citrus Heights, and City of Elk Grove, and agencies such as the SHRA and the Sacramento Area Council of Governments, to address the regional issues that affect the needs of target- income persons and special needs populations. The goal in this effort is to reduce the burden of providing services within each jurisdiction, by providing CDBG funding. The City also intends to work directly with service providers and local, state, and federal agencies (e.g., HUD and the California Department of Housing and Community Development).

Section 2: Findings. This Ordinance is adopted pursuant to the following findings:
A.CEQA Compliance. CEQA requires analysis of agency approvals of discretionary “projects.” A “project,” under CEQA, is defined as “the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.” (CEQA Guidelines,
ITEM 10.2. ATTACHMENT 1 Ordinance No. XX-2023 Page 3 of 4 § 15378.) As reflected in State CEQA Guideline 15061 (b) (3), an activity is not subject to CEQA, “[where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment…” The proposed amendments are not a “project” within the meaning of CEQA because the amendments seek to provide clarification of uses, standards and/or enforcement procedures, address inconsistencies between definitions, delete text that is no longer necessary. Because no expansion of uses or activities is reasonably anticipated, no possibility exists that the ordinance will result in a significant effect on the environment. Thus, the proposed ordinance is not subject to the requirements of CEQA. However, in the event that adoption of the ordinance is considered a CEQA project, it would nonetheless qualify for categorical exemptions as set forth below.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) states that a project is exempt from CEQA “where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” The approval of the code amendments set forth in the proposed ordinance does not approve any physical development and it would not result in a direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Any specific development projects that may result from these changes will be subject to environmental review. The proposed amendments are consistent with the City’s General Plan. For these reasons, the proposed amendments would not have the potential to result in individually or cumulatively significant effects on the environment and these Municipal Code amendments are exempt from review under CEQA and no further environmental review is necessary.
B.The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan. The attached Municipal Code Amendments (“Amendment”) are consistent with the General Plan. The amendments would provide standards and/or enforcement procedures, address inconsistencies, delete text that is no longer necessary or provide clarifying language for enforcement.
C.The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. The attached amendments would provide standards and/or enforcement procedures, address inconsistencies, delete text that is no longer necessary, or provide clarifying language for enforcement. None of these proposed amendments will be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.
D. The proposed amendments are internally consistent with other applicable provisions in this Zoning Code. The Amendments have been reviewed for consistency with the entirety of the Municipal Code and is consistent with other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code.

Exhibit A to the Ordinance
more days on which a violation exists, and for the violation of one or more code sections.
C. Service of Citation. The animal services manager shall impart notice to the owner of the violation in the following manner:
1. Personal Service. The animal services manager shall attempt to locate and personally serve the responsible owner and, if possible, obtain the signature of the responsible owner on the notice of violation. If the responsible owner served refuses or fails to sign the notice, the failure or refusal to sign shall not affect the validity of the notice or of subsequent proceedings.
2. Mail. If, for any reason, the animal services manager is unable to personally serve the notice of violation on the responsible owner, the notice shall be mailed to the responsible owner by certified mail, postage prepaid with a requested return receipt. Concurrently, the citation shall be sent by regular mail. Service by mail shall be sent to the responsible owner’s address as shown on public records or as known by the city. If the notice is sent by certified mail and returned unsigned, then service shall be deemed effective by regular mail, provided the notice sent by regular mail is not returned by the post office. Service by mail shall be effective on the date of mailing.
3. Posting Notice. As an alternative to service by mail, and if the animal services manager is unable for any reason to personally serve the responsible owner, the animal services manager may post the notice of violation at a conspicuous location on any real property within the city in which the animal services manager has knowledge that the responsible owner has a legal interest, and such posting shall be deemed effective service. Service shall be deemed effective pursuant to posting on the date that the notice is actually posted.
4. The failure of any responsible owner to receive any notice served in accordance with this section will not affect the validity of any proceedings taken under this chapter.
D. Opportunity to Correct the Violation. Once a notice of violation has been served upon a responsible owner, the owner shall be allowed 14 days to correct or remedy the violation. If the responsible owner properly corrects or remedies the violation, he or she shall not be assessed an administrative penalty. If the responsible owner fails to correct or remedy the violation, administrative penalties shall be assessed from the date written upon the notice. This subsection shall not be construed to waive any fee or payment that would ordinarily be required pursuant to this title.
E. Satisfaction of Notice of Violation.
ITEM 10.2. ATTACHMENT 2
Exhibit A to the Ordinance
1. Upon receipt of a notice of violation, the responsible owner must do the following: (a) pay the administrative penalty to animal services; and (b) demonstrate to the animal services manager that the violation has been corrected or remedied, if the violation(s) is of such a nature that it can be remedied.
2. If a responsible owner fails to properly correct or remedy a continuing violation in accordance with subsection (D) of this section or otherwise, the owner shall pay the accrued penalty amount to the animal services. Penalty amounts shall continue to accrue as specified up until the date the responsible owner satisfies the notice of violation or files a notice of appeal. Payment of an accrued penalty shall not excuse or discharge the owner’s responsibility to correct or remedy the cited violation, nor shall it bar further enforcement action by the animal services manager.
F. Appeal of Citation.
1. Any recipient of a notice of violation may contest that there was a violation of this title or that he or she is the responsible owner by completing a notice of appeal and request for hearing form and filing it with animal services within 30 calendar days from the date of issuance of the notice, together with an appeal fee of $250, or the timely filing of a request for an appeal fee hardship waiver pursuant to subsection (G) of this section, and the hearing fee as established by the city council. Any appeal of the notice of violation must include a detailed written explanation as to the grounds for appeal.
2. The filing of a notice of appeal does not stay, postpone or excuse the responsible owner’s duty to correct or remedy a cited violation. The proper filing of a notice of appeal, along with an appeal fee of $250, will toll any late penalties that would accrue thereafter for a continuing violation. If the hearing officer upholds the notice of violation, any applicable late penalties shall begin to accrue again on the day following the issuance of the hearing officer’s written decision. Any penalty amount that has been deposited in advance shall be refunded if it is determined, after a hearing, that the person charged in the notice of violation was not responsible for the violation(s) or that there was no violation(s) as charged in the notice of violation.
3. The failure to submit a timely and complete request for hearing will terminate a person’s right to contest the notice of violation and result in a failure to exhaust administrative remedies, and the order of the notice of violation will serve as a formal determination and conclusive evidence of the named responsible owner’s liability.
ITEM 10.2. ATTACHMENT 2
Exhibit A to the Ordinance
G. Appeal Fee Hardship Waiver. A person seeking an administrative hearing may request a hardship waiver of the penalty deposit by filing with the animal services manager a completed appeal fee hardship waiver, which must be signed under penalty of perjury. The request must be submitted along with the request for hearing. The person requesting the waiver bears the burden of establishing that such person does not have the financial ability to make the deposit. The request will be decided by the animal services manager within three business days from the date the request is received, and the animal services manager’s decision is final. The applicant will be notified by telephone, facsimile, or in person of the decision on the request. The filing of a request for hardship waiver does not extend the time to file for an administrative hearing or pay the penalty when due. If the request for hardship waiver is denied, an administrative hearing will not be scheduled unless the penalty deposit is paid within five business days following the animal services manager’s determination on the request for a hardship waiver.
H. Hearing Officer. The city hearing officer shall conduct the administrative hearing pursuant to RCMC 8.09.050. In addition to the authority conferred in this section, the hearing officer shall have the authority set forth in RCMC 8.09.030 and other applicable sections of this title.
I. Hearing Procedure. The procedures set forth under RCMC 8.09.050 shall apply to all hearings under this section, unless otherwise specified herein this section.
J. Hearing Officer’s Decision.
1. After considering all of the testimony and evidence submitted at the hearing and consistent with RCMC 8.09.050, the hearing officer shall issue a written decision within 14 days of the date of the hearing to uphold or cancel the notice of violation and shall list in the decision the reasons for that determination. The decision of the hearing officer shall be final;
2. If the hearing officer determines that the notice of violation should be upheld, then the animal services manager shall retain the penalty amount, including any fee that is the subject of the notice of violation, on deposit with the animal services manager;
3. If the hearing officer determines that the notice of violation should be upheld, and the penalty has not been deposited pursuant to an appeal fee hardship waiver, the hearing officer shall set a payment schedule for the payment of the penalty, including any fee that is the subject of the notice of violation. Accrual of any late penalty charges shall resume on the day following the date of the hearing officer’s decision;

Exhibit A to the Ordinance
4. If the hearing officer determines there has been no violation and the penalty was deposited with the animal services manager, then the animal services manager shall promptly refund the amount of the deposited penalty;
5. The recipient of the notice of violation shall be served with a copy of the hearing officer’s written decision.
K. Failure to Pay Administrative Penalties.
1. The failure of any person to pay the administrative penalties assessed in connection with a notice of violation within the time specified on the notice constitutes a debt to the city and may result in the matter being referred to a collection agency, which may file a claim with the small claims court or, in the alternative, utilize any means within its power to collect the amount owed. The city may pursue any other legal remedy to collect the administrative fines.
2. Any person who fails to pay to the city any administrative penalty imposed pursuant to this title on or before the date the fine is due shall also be liable in any action brought by the city for all costs incurred in securing payment of the delinquent amount, including, but not limited to, administrative costs and attorneys’ fees. Such collection costs are in addition to any required fees, penalties, interest and late charges.
3. Notwithstanding all of the procedures set forth in this section, the animal services manager shall have the ability and discretion to enforce violations of this title, to impose necessary conditions, to forgive portions of a debt or penalty owed to the city under this title, and to coordinate collection and enforcement efforts with a collection agency.
L. Right to Judicial Review. Any person aggrieved by an administrative decision of a hearing officer on an administrative citation may obtain review of the administrative decision by filing a petition for review with the Sacramento County superior court in accordance with the timelines and provisions as set forth in California Government Code Section 53069.4. [Ord. 20-2014 §§ 13 – 16; Ord. 8-2009 § 6].

This chapter is enacted pursuant to the authority granted by Section 66477 of the Government Code. The park and recreational facilities for which dedication of land and/or payment of fee is required shall be in accordance with the local recreational element of the general plan. Land dedication under this chapter shall conform to the city general plan, to any adopted specific plan, and the applicable provisions of Section 66477 of the Government Code. [Ord. 15-2022 § 4 (Exh. A); Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].
22.40.010Purpose.
As a condition of approval of a tentative subdivision map or tentative parcel map, the subdivider shall dedicate land, pay a fee in lieu thereof, or both, at the option of the city for neighborhood and community park or recreational purposes at the time specified by the city according to the standards and formula contained in this chapter. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983; SCC 394 § 4, 1979; SCC 325 § 4 (part), 1978].
22.40.020Procedure for subdivider.
At the time of filing of a tentative subdivision map for approval, the subdivider of the property shall, as a part of such filing, indicate whether the subdivider desires to dedicate property for park or recreation purposes, or whether the subdivider desires to pay a fee in lieu thereof, or a combination of dedication and in-lieu fees. If the subdivider desires to dedicate land for this purpose, the subdivider shall designate the area thereof on the tentative subdivision map as submitted. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983; SCC § 4 (part), 1978].
22.40.025Determining the local agency.
A. Prior to the time of tentative subdivision or tentative parcel map approval, the city council shall have determined whether the city or another public agency is the appropriate local public agency providing park and recreation services on a community-wide level and to the area within which the proposed development will be located. Pursuant to such determination, land or fees required under this section shall
ITEM 10.2. ATTACHMENT 2
Exhibit A to the Ordinance
be conveyed or paid directly to the designated agency, if such agency elects to accept the land or fee.
B. In the event park and recreation services and facilities are provided by a public agency other than the city, the amount and location of land to be dedicated or fees to be paid shall be jointly determined by the city council and the board of directors of such public agency. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].
22.40.030Dedication requirements.
The approval body or city council shall require the dedication of all land, the payment of fees in lieu thereof, or a combination of both as provided herein, for park or recreational purposes as a condition to the approval of a tentative subdivision or tentative parcel map; provided, that:
A. The land, fees, or combination thereof are to be used only for the purposes of developing new and rehabilitating existing park or recreational facilities to serve the subdivision.
B. The amount and location of land to be dedicated or the fees to be paid shall bear a reasonable relationship to the use of the park and recreational facilities by the future inhabitants of the subdivision.
C. The city council and/or the designated local public agency shall develop a schedule specifying how and when it will use the land or fees, or both, to develop park or recreational facilities to serve the residents of the subdivision. Any fees collected shall be committed within five years after the payment of fees or the issuance of building permits on one-half of the lots created by the subdivision, whichever occurs later. If such fees are not committed, they shall be distributed and paid to the then-record owners of the subdivision in the same proportion that the size of their lot bears to the total area of all lots within the subdivision.
D. Only the payment of fees may be required in subdivisions containing 50 parcels or less. However, nothing in this chapter shall prohibit the dedication and acceptance of land for park and recreation purposes in subdivisions of 50 parcels or less, if the subdivider voluntarily proposes such dedication and the land otherwise meets the requirements of this title.
E. Subdivisions containing less than five parcels and not used for residential purposes shall be exempted from the requirements of this chapter; provided, however, that a condition may be placed on the approval of such parcel map that if a building permit is requested for construction of a residential structure or structures on one or more of the parcels within four years, the fee may be required to be paid by the owner of each such parcel as a condition to the issuance of such permit.
F. If the subdivider provides park and recreational improvements to the dedicated land, the value of the improvements, together with any equipment located thereon, shall be a credit against the payment of fees or dedication of land required by this chapter, as determined pursuant to RCMC 22.40.085. [Ord. 38-2007 § 1 (Exh. 1(M)); Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983; SCC 395 § 5, 1979; SCC 325 § 4 (part), 1978].

In small-family and multiple-family development projects the number of dwelling units shall be calculated from the maximum density permitted in the proposed zone, as determined from the zoning code, including any density bonus, unless the subdivider can demonstrate that the development will contain a lesser number of dwelling units.
For tentative parcel maps in multifamily zones a condition may be added to the tentative parcel map stating that the number of dwelling units may be calculated using the density tentatively approved and such requirement shall not become final until the land or improvements are dedicated or fees in lieu thereof are paid by the subdivider to the satisfaction of the city. [Ord. 2-2020 § 3 (Exh. A); Ord. 53-2004 § 1; Ord. 25-2003 § 3].
22.40.040Calculation of in-lieu fees.
Where the city requires the payment of park in-lieu fees, the amount to be paid shall be a sum calculated according to the formula A x V = M, in which, A = The amount of land required for dedication as determined by RCMC 22.40.035, V = Fair market value per acre of the property to be subdivided, as established by an appraisal prepared in accordance with RCMC 22.40.045; and M = The number of dollars to be paid in lieu of dedication of land. [Ord. 53-2004 § 2; Ord. 25-2003 § 3].
ITEM 10.2. ATTACHMENT 2
Exhibit A to the Ordinance
22.40.045Determination of fair market value.
A. For purposes of calculating the in-lieu fee under RCMC 22.40.040, the subdivider shall cause an appraisal of the property to be subdivided to be made. The appraisal shall be made at the subdivider’s expense by a person qualified as a certified general real estate appraiser (MAI) by the California Office of Real Estate Appraisers, and shall meet the standards specified in the uniform standards of professional appraisal practice.
The fair market value shall be established as the most probable price, as of a specific date, in cash, or terms equivalent to cash, or in other precisely revealed terms, for which the specified property rights should sell after reasonable exposure in a competitive market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, with the buyer and seller each acting prudently, knowledgeably and for self-interest, and assuming that neither is under undue duress. Factors to be considered during the evaluation shall include the following:
1. Applicable project conditions of approval;
2. The general plan;
3. Zoning and density;
4. Property location;
5. Off-site improvements facilitating use of the property;
6. Site characteristics of the property;
7. Existing public improvements (e.g., existing streets, canals) which have the effect of reducing usable gross tentative map area;
8. Such other factors as the city council may establish by resolution.
B. The appraisal shall value the property as of a date no earlier than six weeks prior to the recording of the final map, or the payment of the fee, whichever occurs later, unless otherwise extended by the city and parks provider. The appraisal shall clearly state the fair market value (V) of the property, in dollars per gross acre. Three copies of the appraisal shall be delivered to the Community Development Director, or their delegate, for distribution.
C. In the event the city’s Community Development Director determines the appraisal is inaccurate, the city may cause a second appraisal to be made at its expense by an appraiser with the above-described qualifications, and the second appraisal shall be used for purposes of calculating the in-lieu fee. [Ord. 53-2004 § 4].
22.40.050Standards for final maps where tentative map approved prior to 1983.
When a final map is approved after January 1, 1983, in substantial compliance with a tentative map approved prior to January 1, 1983, the approval body or city council shall require dedication of land or payment of fees, or both, as a condition of approval of the final map using the current standards otherwise applicable to tentative maps after January 1, 1983. [Ord. 38-2007 § 1 (Exh. 1(M)); Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].

[Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 617 § 1, 1985; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].
22.40.060Recreational community gardening.
Land and facilities for the activity of “recreational community gardening,” which activity consists of the cultivation by persons other than or in addition to the owner of such land, of plant material not for sale, shall be deemed a park and recreational purpose. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].
22.40.065Credit for privately owned facilities.
A. The city council may grant credit for privately owned and maintained open space or local recreation facilities, or both, in planned unit developments or residential townhouse units, or mobile home developments or special planning areas, as defined in the zoning code. Such credit shall be subtracted from the dedication or fees, or both; provided:
1. Yards, patio court areas, setbacks, and other open space areas required by this title and the zoning code shall be maintained;
2. Provision is made by written agreement or recorded covenants that the private areas be adequately maintained;
3. The use of private open space or recreation facilities is limited to park and local recreation purposes and shall not be changed to another use without the written consent of the city council.

[Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].
22.40.070Computation of credit.
The categories for credit described in RCMC 22.20.065 shall be given equal weight, each category not to exceed 20 percent of the total dedication or fee which may be required by the city council. The city council may grant additional credit for each category if there is substantial evidence that:
A. The open space or recreational facility is above average in esthetic quality, arrangement or design; or
B. The open space or recreational facility is clearly proportionately greater in amount or size than required by this title or usually provided in other similar types of development; or
C. The open space or recreational facility is situated so as to complement open space or local recreational facilities in other private or public developments. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].
22.40.075Access requirements.
All land offered for dedication for park and recreational purposes shall have access on at least one existing or proposed public street. This requirement may be waived by the city council if the city council determines that the public street access is unnecessary for the maintenance of the park area or use thereof by the residents. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].
22.40.080Sale of dedicated land.
The subdivider or owner and the city council or the director of a local park and recreational district may, after dedication of the land and before construction of the first dwelling unit, agree to sell the land dedicated and use the proceeds thereof towards the acquisition of a more suitable site. Such sale is subject to the limitations imposed on disposition of park property set forth in the Government Code. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].
ITEM 10.2. ATTACHMENT 2
Exhibit A to the Ordinance
22.40.085Credit for park and recreational improvements and equipment.
A. If the subdivider proposes to receive credit for providing park and recreational improvements to the land the subdivider has dedicated, or equipment located thereon, the following procedure shall be followed. At the time of filing for the tentative map, the subdivider shall notify the local agency providing park and recreational services to the area within which the proposed development will be located that he or she intends to receive credit for park and recreational services and recreational improvements to the dedicated land and equipment located on that land. At the time of approval of the tentative map, the amount of land to be dedicated necessary to comply with this chapter shall be calculated pursuant to RCMC 22.40.035 or 22.40.045. As a condition of approval of such tentative map, the developer shall be required to dedicate the calculated amount of land or its equivalent in fees or credits at the time of filing the final map, and the developer shall sign an agreement with the local agency stating that land, and any equipment located thereon, shall be calculated and dedicated at the time of approval of the final map in an amount equivalent to the current value of the amount of land required to be dedicated as a condition of the tentative map.
B. Such land, improvements and equipment may be accepted by the local agency if such land, improvements and equipment comply with its master plan for that park.
Immediately upon the approval or conditioned approval of the tentative map to the subdivider, the local agency providing parks shall initiate preparation of a master plan for the park area proposed to receive the credits. Such master plan shall be completed within the duration of the tentative map and not later than 36 months from approval of the tentative map.
C. At the time of approval of the final map, the subdivider shall dedicate land to the local agency providing parks if such dedication is consistent with the master plan. The subdivider and the local agency shall enter into a credit agreement whereby the subdivider agrees to pay a fee in lieu of dedication of land, and provide a bond or other security acceptable to the city guaranteeing the subdivider will pay the fee, in the amount of the remainder of the obligation calculated pursuant to subsection (A) of this section. The subdivider then shall specify the improvements to the dedicated land together with equipment located thereon he or she wishes to provide, consistent with the master plan. The public agency shall proceed with a standard competitive bid process to arrive at the lowest responsible bidder for providing such improvements and equipment. Upon completion of the competitive bid process, the subdivider shall pay the fee, which shall be used to pay for such improvements and equipment. If no fee is paid, the bond or other security shall be used for such payment. The remainder of the fee or security, if any, shall be retained by the local agency.
D. If the developer and local agency agree to allow installation of park and recreational improvements and equipment located on the dedicated land, rather than providing a fee, bond, or other security pursuant to subsection (C) of this section, the developer may do so; provided, that such improvements are consistent with the park master plan.
The amount of credit to be given shall be determined jointly by the local agency providing parks, the department of public works, and the developer, based on evidence presented by the developer showing that such improvements were obtained and
ITEM 10.2. ATTACHMENT 2
Exhibit A to the Ordinance
installed at a reasonable, competitive rate for the community. Only reasonable charges shall be eligible for credit under this section. The developer may choose to construct and provide such improvements and equipment only upon a showing to the department of public works and local agency providing parks that such a procedure will not result in costs in excess of that obtainable by using a competitive bidding process carried out by the public agency, pursuant to subsection (C) of this section. [Ord. 25-2003 § 3; SCC 574 § 2, 1983].

This chapter is enacted by the city council of Rancho Cordova to supplement provisions of Chapter 22.52 SCC by providing for the city and local governmental agencies within the city a broader base for funds to acquire local parks and recreational facilities to serve residential areas within the city of Rancho Cordova. The city council has determined that:
A. It is inequitable to require only subdividers of real property pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 22.52 SCC to provide land or fees in lieu thereof for local parks or recreational facilities;
B. Apartment houses and single-family dwellings on individual lots place demands on local parks and recreational facilities which must be met if the recreational needs of all of the residents of the city of Rancho Cordova are to be served; C. The general welfare, health and safety of the residents of the city will be enhanced by the development of recreational facilities. Children and adults will be able to safely pursue recreational activities in areas specifically designed for recreational purposes; D. The dramatic increase in population and dwelling construction, particularly in the city of Rancho Cordova, has not been met with a corresponding availability of parks and local recreational facilities to serve the population. [Ord. 38-2007 § 1 (Exh. 1(A), (F)); Ord. 21-2003 §§ 2, 4; Ord. 20-2003 §§ 2, 4; SCC 88 § 1 (part), 1972. Formerly

ITEM 10.2. ATTACHMENT 2
Exhibit A to the Ordinance
22.170.020 Payment of fee.
A. Prior to the issuance of any building permit pursuant to Chapter 16.04 RCMC for a new principal residential structure or a multiple-family structure, a fee as determined herein shall be paid to the parks provider for the city to be used for the acquisition and/or development of local parks and recreational facilities in the city. The fee shall be computed as follows:
1. Forty dollars for each principal single-family dwelling on a single lot;
2. Twenty-five dollars for each dwelling unit within a multiple-family structure.
B. Any fee shall be paid before the building permit to authorize the construction shall be issued by the department of public works of the city.
C. The schedule of payments is based on the application of the constants described in SCC 22.52.100 to a gross acre value of $5,000 per acre and shall be adjusted based on current appraised value prepared per section 22.40.045. The latter value has been determined by the city council to be an average land value applicable throughout the city of Rancho Cordova for land being developed in residential use. [Ord. 38-2007 § 1 (Exh. 1(A), (F)); Ord. 21-2003 §§ 2, 4; Ord. 20-2003 §§ 2, 4; SCC 88 § 1 (part), 1972.
Formerly 9.70.020].
22.170.030 Deposit of fees.
Fees collected pursuant to RCMC 22.170.020 shall be deposited in the local parks facilities trust fund established pursuant to SCC 22.52.080 and shall be administered by the parks provider for the city[Ord. 38-2007 § 1 (Exh. 1(F)); Ord. 21-2003 §§ 2, 4; Ord. 20-2003 §§ 2, 4; SCC 88 § 1 (part), 1972. Formerly 9.70.030].
22.170.040 Use of fees.
Fees deposited in the local parks facilities trust fund shall be used only for the purpose of providing local parks and recreational facilities consistent with the local recreation spaces element of the general plan; provided, however, if the general plan provides for a major park or other major recreational facility within one mile of the parcel being developed, any fee collected may be applied for the acquisition of land or the development of such facility. [Ord. 38-2007 § 1 (Exh. 1(F)); Ord. 21-2003 §§ 2, 4; Ord. 20-2003 §§ 2, 4; SCC 88 § 1 (part), 1972. Formerly 9.70.040].
22.170.050 Credits.
A fee shall not be required pursuant to RCMC 22.170.030 if the land on which the single-family or multiple-family dwelling unit is to be constructed is included within a recorded subdivision and, which as a condition of the approval of the final map of the subdivision, the subdivider was given credit for privately owned facilities pursuant to SCC 22.52.130 or dedicated land, paid a fee in lieu thereof, or both, for local parks or recreational purposes pursuant to SCC 22.52.100 through 22.52.130. [Ord. 38-2007 § 1 (Exh. 1(F)); Ord. 21-2003 §§ 2, 4; Ord. 20-2003 §§ 2, 4; SCC 88 § 1 (part), 1972.

Any person who comes within the provisions of this chapter may appeal any matter relative to this chapter to the city council; provided any appeal must be filed with the clerk of the city council by letter addressed to the city council within 10 calendar days after the decision or action which prompts the appeal. The appeal will be set for hearing before the city council within 30 calendar days after receipt of the notice of appeal. A filing of a notice of appeal shall stay the issuance of any building permit pending the decision of the city council on the appeal. [Ord. 38-2007 § 1 (Exh. 1(F)); Ord. 21-2003 §§ 2, 4; Ord. 20-2003 §§ 2, 4; SCC 88 § 1 (part), 1972. Formerly 9.70.060].
22.170.070 Severability.
If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this chapter is for any reason held to be unconstitutional or unlawful, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this chapter. The city council declares that it would have passed the ordinance codified in this chapter, and each section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause and phrase thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more of the sections, subsections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases is declared unconstitutional or unlawful.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff to introduce and provide an update on the Fiscal Year 2023/24 Community Enhancement & Investment Fund grant applications received for Council consideration.
RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council will receive a summary of Community Enhancement & Investment Fund grant applications, copies of applications and supplemental documents received for Council consideration. Staff will return with an update on April 11, 2023, and provide the Council with an adjusted summary of the grant applications received, including evaluation of each application for compliance with the established criteria and an overall recommendation.
BACKGROUND
The application period for the Fiscal Year 2023/24 Community Enhancement & Investment Fund opened on February 6, 2023, and closed on March 17, 2023. During this time, we received 113 grant applications. Two applications were withdrawn, leaving 111 for consideration.
Staff is in the process of reviewing each application according to the application criteria and prioritization method listed within the Fiscal Year 2023/24 Grant Application Process and Criteria document. While uncertainties about the COVID-19 pandemic continue, and while California has moved past its "Blueprint for a Safer Economy," there may be future state and/or Sacramento County actions and/or orders which may restrict or prohibit certain activities from happening due to responses to the pandemic.
This information is being monitored closely to provide the best recommendation possible.
FISCAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE
The projected Fiscal Year 2023/24 revenues for the Community Enhancement & Investment Fund, focusing on Measure H, are estimated to be $12.5 million. It is anticipated that the

This project proposes to fund technology for Sunrise Elementary School. After 15+ years the technology used for visual arts productions at Sunrise Elementary is no longer serving the school and students well. To support student performers, backstage operators and theatre tech teams, the performing arts program seeks to upgrade its equipment, including wireless lapel microphones, a road case for safe storage, a power converter, a frequency engager and wireless antennas. With up‐to‐date technology, Sunrise Elementary student performances will be more professional and will provide large audiences a better experience.

CCC: Art for Kids (Art Ark) This program/project would provide funding to the Cordova Community Council to plan and facilitate visits of the Crocker Art Museum's Art Ark to Rancho Cordova Elementary Schools. The Crocker Art Ark visits to Rancho Cordova elementary schools have provided an arts enrichment experience since the CEIF program began. Interrupted by COVID for more than two years, the Art Ark headed back onto the road in January 2023.
This request is structured to finish the current project and then renew through June 30, 2025. Prior to COVID, the Art Ark visits were scheduled so that every elementary student in Rancho Cordova would have the benefit of a visit every two years. The Rancho Cordova visits will also be enhanced through a new partnership with Bank of America wherein a “Community Art Day” is provided to the school community during an Art Ark visit. This is a multiyear request.

During the spring of 2024, students will have the option to participate in an after‐school program that will culminate in a fully‐produced musical at the school. Each Williamson Elementary classroom will experience ten Theatre Arts & SEL‐Integrated classes with an emphasis in conflict resolution skills led by a NorCal professional teaching artist throughout the school day. NorCal teaching artists are trained in weaving SEL strategies (conflict resolution skills) into theatre arts lessons. These classes will also act as a professional development opportunity for the Williamson Elementary classroom teachers to learn how to integrate SEL strategies through theatre arts.

Exceeding its goal to expand by 30%, the CYSO more than doubled in size from 24 members in 2021‐2022 to 60 in 2022‐2023. The orchestra added harps, guitar, cellos, drums, marimba, and pianos to its repertoire. As predicted, second‐year CYSO members were prepared to perform classical masterpieces with confidence and high‐quality in 2023. Since January 2023, the orchestra performed or will have performed five times, including a formal concert at the Cordova High School Performing Arts Center and informal concerts at various locations. $35,000

Ri‐Nu Imagination: Artist
Studios and Gallery
This proposed project funds artist studio space so that Ri‐Nu Imagination can lease to individual artists at affordable rates. The goal is to incubate and bolster the collective of Rancho Cordova artists that need space to create, connect, share, sell art, and thrive in the community. Their goal is to lease space in the Rancho Cordova Arts District along Folsom Boulevard. In addition, they will provide workshops, podcasts, and pop‐up shows.

FCUSD: Cordova High
School Musical
Instruments
The proposed project would support the purchase of new musical instruments for Cordova High School music program. The Cordova High School music program provides instruments to student musicians when families cannot rent an instrument. Of the 97 Cordova High Band and Orchestra members, only 10 students provide their own instrument currently. Normal wear and tear, even with constant care and repair, shortens an instrument’s lifespan. The current inventory is older, aging and in need of repair and replacement due to being used for many years at marching band practice, football games, parades, traveling, and daily use. This would fund approximately 24 instruments. $46,052

CCC: Rehearsal Space for
Band and Symphony
This proposed project would provide funds to the Cordova Community Council to work with the Symphony d’Oro Rancho Cordova, Rancho Cordova River City Concert Band, and RC Swing Collaborative to assure adequate rehearsal venues and opportunities to enhance the quality of the musical arts in Rancho Cordova. After the pandemic disruption, the Cordova Community Council and all three music groups collaborated to find better ways to achieve this goal and negotiated terms with the Mandarin Center for the groups. This solution has worked well and the organizations have achieved the ideal weekly rehearsal schedule. This request is designed to continue that arrangement for 2.75 years. The Swing Collective will continue rehearsals at the MACC at no extra cost. This is a multiyear request. $22,030

Heart Craft Studio:
Accessible Inclusive Arts at
Heart Craft Studio
Heart Craft Studio is a small business that provides space to explore creativity both on an individual level as well as a broader community level, with an emphasis on inclusion for artists of all ages and abilities. The studio has grown in the year and a half since opening doors, and now seeks funding to improve and expand their existing operations and community impact. Since opening, they have held two neurodivergent‐focused, free art events for the public, numerous all‐abilities classes, as well as private art lessons for a differently abled art students. Their goal is to continue to provide free/low‐cost opportunities for differently abled community members with an emphasis on inclusion so that all ages and abilities are welcome to come and create together when they attend classes and events. The proposed project would provide funds to the Heart Craft Studio to purchase adaptive desks, wheel chairs, creative tools, training to employees, salaries, marketing and supplies for events and classes. $55,000

Mandarins of Sacramento:
"Immortal Winds" (Indoor
Winter Wind Ensemble)
Mandarins proposes a second year of "Immortal Winds”, a winter performing arts ensemble focusing on brass and woodwind instruments, to be based in Rancho Cordova. Winter Winds ensembles present an original show each year, approximately 8–10 minutes in length, and refine it throughout the winter season. Shows are performed and are judged in various musical and visual categories. Immortal Winds will address a current need in the community – high schools in Rancho Cordova only offer winter percussion and winter guard programs and Sacramento State only offers an independent winter percussion group. It will be open to all interested woodwind and brass players between the ages of 16‐23 years of age. Experience camps will be held in November and December during which students will have the opportunity to hone the musical skills and learn basic movements used in the performances.

with the Snakes – Public
tours of Save The Snakes’
Snake Conservation Center
in Rancho Cordova
The Snake Conservation Center in Rancho Cordova seeks to conduct public tours of their facility to educate community members about snake ecology, snake conservation, and snakebite first aid. Human‐snake conflict is an increasingly common problem around the world, stemming from a lack of education about snakes. As human encroachment increases in many areas, the likelihood of human‐snake conflict also increases. Although there is only one venomous snake (the Northern Pacific rattlesnake, Crotalus oreganus oreganus) in the Sacramento area, encounters with them do occur. Many snakes that live in human occupied areas are killed regardless of if they are harmful or not, because of fear. Snakes play a crucial role in ecosystems by maintaining ecosystem health and environments, however, their role is often highly overlooked. To address these issues, Save The Snakes seeks to empower our community members to safely coexist with snakes and increase interest in conservation efforts by introducing them to the education and outreach programs of the Snake Conservation Center. The project funding supports printing and design of materials, program implementation, and website updates. $5,400

WeeCare's programs aim to support women and low‐income families that were significantly impacted by the COVID‐19 pandemic in returning to the workforce and creates a more equitable childcare ecosystem in the City of Rancho Cordova. Boost would support 16 childcare providers/224 households; CASE would support 250 small businesses/2,500 employees; and Back2Work would support childcare subsidies for 50 low‐to‐moderate income households (15 credits per household).

86 Other Habitat for Humanity of
Greater Sacramento:
Home Preservation and
Neighborhood
Revitalization
Habitat for Humanity assists low‐income residents, particularly seniors, veterans, and disabled homeowners with repairs to bring their homes into safe, habitable condition while beautifying neighborhoods. The funding would allow Habitat for Humanity to make significant critical health and safety related and beautification repairs on at least 25 qualified low‐income owner‐occupied homes in Rancho Cordova both improving community pride and quality of life for the residents receiving repairs and their neighbors. Example renovations include replacing leaking and structurally unsound roofs and porches, replacing single‐pane windows, exterior paint/landscaping, substantial accessibility and aging in place upgrades, dry rot remediation, and health and safety related critical exterior repairs. Habitat for Humanity conducts outreach to increase awareness of the repair program within the City of Rancho Cordova; screens applicants to establish eligibility and conduct on‐site reviews by a construction supervisor to define project scope. Habitat also plans and executes the selected projects under program supervision from a licensed general contractor and with on‐site construction professionals as project supervisors. The majority of the labor on Habitat projects is typically provided by volunteers. Where possible Habitat leverages grant funding by actively soliciting in‐kind donations of materials to reduce project costs or layering on additional funding pools to stretch dollars farther and to impact more Rancho Cordova households. Habitat evaluates the effectiveness of this program; reports to the City with a listing of who received assistance, a narrative of their eligibility for funding, description of the work performed, cost of the work charged to the grant, other funding or in kind resources leveraged, and testimonials from the homeowner partners served. Grant funding would cover contracted services, labor, building materials, and some administrative costs. $300,000
87 Other Rancho Cordova Police
Activities League: Outdoor
Adventure Club
The mission of the Rancho Cordova Police Activities League (PAL) is to involve and mentor youth in social, educational, recreational and leadership activities that will deter crime, increase self‐esteem, and promote a positive relationship with law enforcement. PAL is seeking funding to support its Outdoor Adventure Club program. After several years of virtual learning, the Outdoor Adventure Club has provided outdoor activities to “reboot” the youth in our community. Youth spend hours a day in front of a screen, so now more than ever kids need a positive, healthy, and safe break from devices. PAL's Outdoor Adventure Club has embarked on several adventures such as hiking, camping, snow trips, aquatic activities, and much more. PAL utilizes these “adventures” to build confidence, promote creativity/imagination, an appreciation for nature, team work, and physical fitness. Club members also participate in outdoor community events, such as community food drives, and other PAL events. The grant funding will allow our youth to participate in the program at no cost to them and purchase needed equipment and pay necessary fees to provide the best possible adventure experience.

88 Other Whisker Warriors Animal
Defense Fund: Spay/
Neuter/ Vaccine Program
This program application proposes to 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 needed to reduce pet overpopulation. Canines, specifically, have had limited support. A small number of rabbit spay/neuters are covered if a clinic will offer that service.
Felines continue to be unaltered and abandoned by residents, especially in rental housing, which increases the need for immediate action. Funding covers spay/neuter voucher program costs, community cat care and food, outreach, etc. $40,000

89 Other Sacramento Valley Live
Steamers Railroad
Museum: Locomotive
Storage Building
The Sacramento Valley Live Steamers Railroad Museum (SVLSRM) wishes to construct a new locomotive storage building to create more storage space for equipment used on public run days and special events at Hagan Community Park. While many of their members and volunteers live in the Sacramento area, and many call Rancho Cordova home, they are very proud of the fact that they have created a lasting relationship with visitors, including those that extend outside of California. Because of this, their events provide opportunities for local businesses and service providers of Rancho Cordova to benefit from travelers. For many that come and ride the trains, they have become a family tradition. Having the appropriate means to be able to store locomotives with this increased capacity would allow them to host more visitors and provide more experiences at community events.

Support Mental Health
Programs in Rancho
Cordova Schools
Rancho Cordova's Leadership Class 16 has chosen a project focused on bringing much needed support to youth by strengthening mental health and wellness centers at 12 or more public schools in Rancho Cordova. Their goal is to equip school‐based wellness centers (using existing building space), where all students can build caring connections with adults and peers on campus, learn strategies for managing strong emotions, receive mental health care for trauma exposure, and participate in peer conflict resolution interventions. These centers will also be a place for families to gather for parent education and access community resources. They are wanting to spend $1,500 per selected school site and each site has different needs.

$5,200
92 Other Anchor Therapy:
Emergency Veteran Mental
Health Care
Anchor Therapy will provide no‐cost immediate behavioral and mental health services for veterans, first responders, and their family members to mitigate the 6‐9 month wait to engage other services. Behavioral and mental health services will include but not be limited to trauma therapy, individual, and group psychotherapies, cognitive assessment, family and relational therapy, and sociocultural, occupational, and veteran benefit support. Therapeutic services will include short‐term outpatient psychotherapy utilizing industry best practices and research‐based interventions.

93 Other Anchor Therapy:
Recreational Trauma
Support Program
Anchor Therapy Clinic proposes to implement a recreational therapy program for youth and adults coping with trauma, domestic violence, or sexual assault to promote social skills and improve mental health. Anchor Therapy Clinic will provide no‐cost recreational trauma therapy for members of the community through low‐impact martial arts group therapy, photo exposure therapy, and canine training. The effectiveness of the proposed program will be evaluated through clinical assessment of participants and statistical analysis. Funding would support the various therapy options, administrative expenses, assessments, equipment, training, etc. $42,100
94 Other Sacramento Metropolitan
Fire District: Squad
Deployment at Station 61
Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District requests $2.4 million for the purpose of equipping and staffing a squad at Station 61 for response to emergency medical service calls within Rancho Cordova. A “squad” consists of a two person crew of firefighter/paramedics that operate a heavy duty truck carrying a light complement of supplies and tools to respond to basic emergencies. When a 911 call for medical aid comes in, Metro Fire typically sends both an ambulance and an engine to provide emergency response. Squads are an alternative to this standard deployment, providing response to basic emergency calls (low acuity) alongside an ambulance while simultaneously allowing engine companies to remain in service and available to respond to more urgent 911 calls that have a higher probability of loss of life and/or property. This project would fund the vehicle, equipment, and staffing required to implement Squad 61 for one year. This is a multiyear request. $2,423,740

Family Center 2357: Phase
2 of the Rancho Cordova
Moose Lodge Parking Lot
Rancho Cordova Moose Lodge is proposing to complete the asphalt resurfacing project for the remaining portion of the parking lot to enhance the appearance and improve the safety for members and the community. The project is intended to install more lighting and resurface the remaining portion of the parking lot asphalt. The lighting portion of the project would take place after the resurfacing. $80,000
97 Other D.L. Williamson Park The proposed project will develop the last remaining piece of Williamson Ranch into a public park, including the construction of a sound wall, walkway, interpretive signage, furnishings, and landscaping. The proposed project will add green space for passive recreation. Developing the space with native plants would serve as a demonstration garden with signage to educate community members on resilient and drought tolerant species of native plants. This would provide examples to community members of a variety of native plant species that thrive in this climate. The project would be consistent with the park master plan that was the result of a two‐year public workshop process that included 3 public meetings.
In 2011, the Williamson family donated the remaining parcels to the Cordova Recreation and Park District. The funding requested mirrors the cost to construct the west parcel of the Williamson property. $641,800
98 Other CCC: Cordova Community
Christmas Tree Safety
Enhancements
The Cordova Community Council proposes to strengthen the existing infrastructure for the Cordova Christmas Tree to withstand extreme winds and weather that have become more typical of the Sacramento area seasons. The project is supported by the Cordova Recreation and Park District and would provide funds to the Cordova Community Council to install concrete footings to the site. The proposed concrete anchoring system would be invisible when the tree is not in place. The annual lighting of the tree attracts 5,000 people. The target date for this project is in September or October of 2023, in advance of the tree installation in November 2023. $10,000
99 Other Rancho Cordova Food
Locker: Family Meal
Rancho Cordova
Rancho Cordova Food Locker is partnering with Family Meal a community feeding program that contracts with local restaurants to address food insecurity by providing restaurant prepared meals to vulnerable residents. The pandemic, inflation, and other factors have greatly increased the number of food insecure citizens over the past two years. The 2021 Sacramento Region Food System Action Plan by Valley Vision found that the Greater Sacramento region has a higher rate of food insecurity than the national average. Over the last year, Rancho Cordova Food Locker has seen a 56% increase in the number of households seeking food. Through this proposed partnership, Family Meal Rancho Cordova will provide 10,400 restaurant prepared meal kits over 12‐months to populations that they have identified as high need. Each meal kit contains enough food to provide a family with healthy nutritious restaurant‐quality meals utilizing products from local purveyors. For this proposed project, a minimum of 25% of the restaurant partners will come from the City of Rancho Cordova. Funds would be used for meal ingredients, preparation, delivery to the Rancho Cordova Food Locker, and administrative costs to coordinate this program. $264,600

Winter Sanctuary and
Homeless Services in
Rancho Cordova
Rancho Cordova HART's mission is to provide assistance to the unhoused in the community by continuing to provide essential services. Rancho Cordova HART will provide a rotating Winter Sanctuary program, housing counseling, and supportive services to the unhoused in Rancho Cordova.
Funds will be allocated to bus passes, services to provide clients with rental assistance, move‐in costs (such as application/background check fees), and the general operation of the Winter Sanctuary program. Expected costs for the Winter Sanctuary program operation consist of transportation, food, and cleaning supplies, and intake‐related expenses. Citizens and faith communities operate the Winter Sanctuary Shelter Program in Rancho Cordova to provide free overnight shelter, warmth, meals, and connection to mainline health and housing‐related services for men and women who are experiencing homelessness in our area during the coldest months of winter. Guests are invited to arrive at the intake site at 5 p.m. and are transported to the host church or overnight location for the evening. Here, community volunteers provide a hot meal and guests receive housing counseling from the Rancho Cordova Navigator and other mainline services. Last year, Rancho Cordova HART had 500+ volunteers participate in the program. Rancho Cordova HART partners with groups to assist those on the street or in the Winter Shelter program to achieve housing. Rancho Cordova HART removes the barriers to housing by covering the costs of security deposits, bus passes, or similar "move‐in costs." Rancho Cordova HART also assists by hosting events such as resource fairs and mobile shower gatherings. $112,000

Other Rancho Cordova Food
Locker: Food Recovery
The Food Recovery program will enable Rancho Cordova Food Locker (RCFL) to continue as the primary recovery partner for grocers in Rancho Cordova. SB 1383 sets as a goal that not less than 20% of edible food that is currently disposed of, is recovered for human consumption by 2025. It requires large commercial edible food generators (grocery stores) to donate all edible food that would otherwise be disposed to an edible food recovery organization like RCFL. RCFL has agreements with some of the largest grocery stores in Rancho Cordova and they anticipate more will come online later this year. Five days per week, RCFL collects edible food that would otherwise go to waste and redistributes it to feed people in need. RCFL operates one large truck and one commercial van daily with limited hours. They need funding for additional drivers, fuel, and vehicle maintenance. Currently they have two part‐time drivers. Through education and capacity building, it is their intention to become a model food recovery program for the region.
