Project Information
Project Name
Hummingbird Theatre Company’s 2023‐2024 Season
Project Synopsis
As Rancho Cordova’s leading Theatre Company we want to make theatre accessible to all people. We believe in engaging audiences with performances that inspire pride and change.
Project Description
This year we hope to start our theatrical season off in October, with the hauntingly still relevant play with a poignant message, “The Crucible”. This show is a dramatized and partially fictionalized story of the Salem witch trials that took place in the Massachusetts Bay Colony during 1692–93 where everyone becomes a suspect and no one is safe. Next, in April, we will come in with a BANG! by bringing the high energy Broadway show “Chicago" to life. In this musical, the 1920s are roaring with hot jazz and cold‐blooded killers, as we follow the story of Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly who bot h go to prison for murder, but both swear they didn’t do it (even though they did). Lastly we would like to finish our season in June with 2 hours of nonstop laughter as we bring the “Complete Works of Shakespeare Abridged” to life. This 3 person production parodies the plays of William Shakes peare with all of them being performed in comically shortened forms as the trio repeatedly break the fourth wall, and speak directly to the audience during most of the play, and even on occasion get willing volunteers involved during certain scenes.
Project Team
Hummingbird Theatre: Danielle Mercado, Director. Sarah Feuerbach, Assistant Director. Diane Standring, Stage Manager. Beth Beam, Concept Designer and Fabricator. Jennifer Reeves, Prop Master. Tom Colburn, Sound. Carolyn Duncan, Tay Winslow, Jarod Wiggins, Company members, etc.
Project Goals
Our mission is to bring quality Performing Arts Theatre performances to the community of Rancho Cordova. Our goal is to make this amazing art form accessible to all, and to provide our audiences with an artistic and emotional experience they won’t forget.
Measurable goals include: Holding auditions, Casting the shows, having rehearsals, ac ting lessons, costume construction, dance instruction, music and singing lessons, character workshops, renting a facility, audience experience management, set building, public reach‐out and advertising, technical theatre setup, performances, and clean up.

Subject: Re: Hello
To: Hummingbird Theatre Company <[email protected]> Hello Danielle,
Thank you for
reaching out. As of right now we do not have a date set that the building will be finalized, or operational due to to contracting and scheduling of Tennant improvements. We do have a loose expected opening to be near the end of this year, but we will not be able to start scheduling additional groups for next years productions, for what I imagine will be another 2‐3 months.
That being said, yes we absolutely have the full intention for you to utilize the space for at least (2) productions next year, of which we had previously spoken about. That of course is only a starting place, as we get our feet wet and schedules coordinated. We may be able to provide more usage than that. I do know we (Rise Up) have one show pre‐ scheduled for March and another for June, if you can move your June show to July that would make it eas ier to try and guarantee you can have those time slots. This all with the understanding we have not been in discussions with any other groups about their particular needs, so please do not make any necessary changes yet. In addition, please kee p in mind our needs with those listed time slots may change, purely dependent upon the time it takes for the Tennant improvements, contracting, etc. to be completed. Until we are physically in the building, a lot is up in the air. I am happy to go into more de tail if you would like to connect, and happy to answer any questions you may have.
Looking forward to chatting with you!

The Golden Symphony (working title)
Project Synopsis
A Documentary that follows a year in the life of the Rancho Cordova Symphony Orchestra, "Symphony D'Oro" with a working title "A Golden Symphony".
Project Description
“A Golden Symphony” (working title) is a documentary that will tell the inspiring story of “Symphony D’Oro, the Rancho Cordova Orchestra”. Performing their first concert in May of 2013 with Conductor Peter Nowlen at the helm who remains the Symphony D’Oro conductor 20 years later, these extraordinary musicians had no idea how much the orchestr a would change their lives in poignant and powerful ways and this is the story this documentary will tell. This will be a film of not less than 45 minutes and up to 90 minutes in length, shot in 6k and of broadcast and cinema quality. Cameras will follow Sympho ny D’Oro at various times throughout the year. We will capture footage at some of their rehearsals as they prepare for concerts as well as at the major events they put on within the City of Rancho Cordova. Symphony D’Oro performs six large concerts a year in front of audiences, and cameras will be there to capt
ure the moments as they prepare on the day of each concert as well as the concert itself. What is the creative process that goes on behind the scenes as they organize and prepare? What other musicians, composers, and guest artists do they collaborate with? How instrumental is Peter Nowl en often referred to as one of Northern California’s busiest musician to the success of over 20 years of Symphony D’Oro? The Documentary will also feature and profile 8‐10 members of the Symphony with a special emphasis on the conductor, Peter Nowlen, and Lorraine Crozier the Sy mphony Concert Master and President of the Board of Directors. We will explore how and why these members joined the Symphony, what their roles are within the Symphony, who they are as people, and what they do outside of the orchestra. Basically a profile of the more unique and important members of this group. We will the documentary with what the fu
ture holds for these amazing and talented local musicians that bring so much to enrich the arts and culture of not only Rancho Cordova but region as a whole/.

We have been provided the names and conta ct information of symphony members selected by the committee who we will feature in the documentary, and are currently making steps to conduct pre‐interviews which will result in schedules made in order to conduct on‐camera interviews as well as any pickup footage of them going about their daily lives. We will be following co nductor Peter Nowlen as he goes about his duties as a professor at UC Davis as well as the other orchestras he works with. This will most likely be the most complicated part of the film as this will take the crew to other cities within Norther n California. We hope to speak with a couple of the composers that have worked with the Rancho Cordova Symphony in the past and we will be speaking the composer of the upcoming “Remember When” Concert who has written an original piece that will accompany a screening of a Buster Keaton black and white film that Symp
hony D’Oro will play as movie plays. The Highlight of the documentary will be the Application #19

As discussed, I realized I made an error in the "Total Project Cost" portion of this application, It should read $54,680.
We are only asking for the finishing funds for the film which is the "Total Community Enhancement & Investment Funds Requested" Of $17,000
The "Matching Funds" portion where I listed out everything we are doing and undertaking comes to $37,680
If the "Total Project Cost" number can be changed on your end that would be great.
If you need me to put a dollar value next to each item listed on "Matching funds" I can do that.
Thank you so much.

California Capital International Documentary Film Festival Project Synopsis
The Second Annual California Capital Documentary Film Festival held in Rancho Cordova will feature over 60 documentary Films from all over the world, over three days at three screening locations.
Project Description
The California Capital International Documentary Film Festival will be held in Rancho Cordova on Saturday, September 30 and Saturday, October 1 and 2023 will be the second year this film festival is being presented. So far we have received over 100 submissions with half coming from 27 different countries and we have some phenomen al entries. We estimate we will screen around 60 films over the course of the festival. As last year, we will have three screening locations. Rancho Cordova City Hall, Council Chambers, American River Room, Rancho Cordova City Hall. Cal Cap Black Box Theatre. We also plan on presenting filmmaker discussions and meet and gr
eets at the MACC which is a co‐presenter of this year's film festival. We will have an opening reception on Friday, September 29 hopefully at City Hall and hope to screen the opening night film that evening after the reception. We have formed a steering committee made up of 13 influential peop le in Rancho Cordova including The Rancho Cordova Mayor, COO of the Rancho Chamber, the City of Sacramento Film Commissioner, Curt Haven, Marc Sapoznic, Ashley Downton from the City of Rancho Comms team to name a few. We are currently soliciting sponsors and we are confident as with last ye ar we will have SMUD, Comstock’s Magazine, Sacramento Magazine, KP International Food Market. We are also talking to a few other high level sponsors.
Whilst last year’s attendance could be considered disappointing there were a couple of factors that we felt contributed which this year we will rectify. Th e time of year. Mid‐June was very hot and we competed with the Annual Gay Pride event in Sacramento. Our ticket prices were a little high. This year we have come up which a much more affordable and attractive ticket price across four levels. Single ticket, a three pack, a six pack and an all‐access pass. We plan on keeping prices very low and affordable. And of course, COVID was still a factor and on people's minds last June.

Project Information
Project Name
Documentary film, “Righting a Wrong: Japanese Americans & WWII.” Project Synopsis
The film builds on the successful traveling exhibit at the MACC. The exhibit told the story of the imprisonment of thousands of Japanese Americans. (Please see attached PDF).
Project Description
The project fulfills several of the listed program criteria. It tells the sad story of a crucial time in our history when California leaders and the public violated the American concept of freedom and the rights of its citizens. The government acted impulsively in response to fear, get‐tough military psychology, propaganda, and racial antagonism and ordered the int ernment of more than 120,000 people. This film also explores the important civic issue still alive: how much power does the government have over people in times of crisis? The internment was ruled constitutional by the Supreme Court in 1944 but over time was judged to be unco nstitutional.
Justice Anton Scalia said the decision upholding the internment of Japanese Americans “was wrong, but it could happen again in war time." By interviewing those incarcerated and their surviving family members, NIMBUS Films will illustrate the devastating impact unjust policies can have on people, families and society itself. There were also individuals who assisted the Japa nese Americans by safeguarding their property during their period of incarceration and rejected the racism of the era. Their stories will demonstrate how willful people can make a positive difference in times of crisis. This film will provide a powerful lesson in personal responsibility and con
cern for all people, not matter their race, religion or national origin. This film can be used in schools, community forums and the general public.
Project Team
Team leader Bill George, producer/director and president of NIMBUS Films is an award‐winning film producer, noted local author and historian known for his deep knowledge of California history, geography and geology. Bill’s films give viewers a front‐row seat into history through the lens of events that helped shape California and the nation. Mi chael Marando, associate producer research and marketing specialist.

A local product, Mike grew up in Rancho Cordova, attended local elementary schools (Peter J.

COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT & INVESTMENT FUND
Project Name – Please assign a project name to your project/program Produce a documentary film, “Righting a Wrong: Japanese Americans & WWII.” Project Synopsis – In 50 words or less, please describe the project:
The film builds on the successful traveling exhibit at the Mills Station Arts & Culture Center (MACC). The exhibit told the story of the imprisonment of thousands of Japanese Americans. Many of those imprisoned were from our region. This film tells their stories and serves as a stark powerful warning against civil rights abuses.
Project Description: Please describe in detail the project and how it benefits the community based on the City’s Community Enhancement & Investment Fund guidelines and project criteria. If you need more room to answer the question, please attach a separate document to your application:
The project fulfills several of the listed program criteria. It tells the sad story of a crucial time in our history when California leaders and the public violated the American concept of freedom and the rights of its citizens. The government acted impulsively in response to fear, get-tough military psychology, propaganda, and racial antagonism and ordered the internment of more than 120,000 people. This film also explores the important civic issue still alive: how much power does the government have over people in times of crisis? The internment was ruled constitutional by the Supreme Court in 1944 but over time was judged to be unconstitutional. Justice Anton Scalia said the decision upholding the internment of Japanese Americans “was wrong, but it could happen again in war time." By interviewing those incarcerated and their surviving family members, NIMBUS Films will illustrate the devastating impact unjust policies can have on people, families Application #24

2 and society itself. There were also individuals who assisted the Japanese Americans by safeguarding their property during their period of incarceration and rejected the racism of the era. Their stories will demonstrate how willful people can make a positive difference in times of crisis. This film will provide a powerful lesson in personal responsibility and concern for all people, not matter their race, religion or national origin. This film can be used in schools, community forums and the general public.

"Adventure Play" experiences for 4,500 youth across Rancho Cordova Project Synopsis
4,500 kids aged 6‐15 across Rancho Cordova will grow in problem‐solving, creativity and confidence through 60 mobile "popup play" experiences featuring hands‐on activities using tools to build things.
Project Description
The Sacramento Adventure Playground (SAP), operated by Fairytale Town, is a south Sacramento program where kids envision and build their own creations. "Adventure play" is a form of hands‐on, active play that engages the creativity of the child, builds skills in conceiving and building things using simple tools, and promotes fitness and wellness thro ugh this physical play. To make this important program available widely, SAP organizes "mobile popup" adventure play events using its van and trailer ‐‐ taking these activities to various neighborhoods. With this grant, SAP will bring 60 of these mobile popup events to Rancho Cordova throughout the year; we envision two popups a week for 30 weeks, reaching 4,500 kids overall. We will welcome guidance from the city on where to conduct the programs. At an adventure play popup, kids will build cardboard forts, work with air‐powered rockets, saw and hammer wood, paint objects, and do arts and crafts. A typi cal popup event lasts 2.5 hours. The program will be conducted by trained SAP staffpeople. In all, Rancho Cordova children will enjoy 11,000+ total hours of healthy, active play ‐‐ with no computer screens! Project Team
The chief organizer will be Steve Caudle, Adventure Playground site director. Steve has worked for over 20 years in afterschool and youth programs. As a longtime supervisor of multiple recreation programs and sites, Steve has strong administrative skills and personnel management experience. As the founding staffperson for the Sacramento Adventure Playground (SAP) based in Sou th Sacramento, Steve has six years of success growing this innovative program. He also brings contractor‐level construction skills to SAP. He earned his undergraduate business degree from Sacramento State University. Steve is married to an educator and is the father of four boys. Steve reports to Fairytale Town's exec utive director, Kevin Smith‐Fagan. Kevin has served as executive director of Fairytale Town since 2020. Under his leadership, the organization has expanded its Spark children’s theater program, expanded its summer camp offerings at both Fairytale Town and its satellite site Sacramento Adventure Playground, solidified its financial position and built a new Story Ce nter and outdoor classroom. Before joining Fairytale Town, Kevin worked as associate general manager for external affairs at PBS KVIE. He is a summa cum laude graduate of Boston University and is a senior fellow of the American Leadership Forum. In Sacramento, he has served on the boards of Wome n’s Empowerment, the YMCA of Superior California, and Pacific Charter Institute, and served as president of the Rotary Club of Sacramento. Kevin is married with three sons.

2 Project Goals
The performance goals are 60 mobile popups conducted, reaching 4,500 children. The impact goals are affecting children so they become stronger in problem‐solving, become more independent, grow in creativity, and are physically active. A recent SAP parent survey found that 64 percent of participants had grown in creativity, 56 percent grew in independe nce, 31 percent advanced in problem‐solving ‐‐ and 59 percent became happier in general, according to their parents.
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
$40,000
Estimated Breakdown of Project Expenditures
Each mobile popup play event carries an operational cost of $600, mostly staff time and travel. 60 * $600 = $36,000, and we have budgeted a 12 percent associated expense for supplies, logistics, insurance and other administrative support.

3 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.
It's a hands‐on program, so it will need to be conducted in person. However, the events are typically held outdoors, so public health orders that restrict indoor exposures would not affect the mobile popup events.

City of Rancho Cordova ‐ Esports Tournament & Showcase
Project Synopsis
The aim of this project is to host an esports tournament and showcase for the City of Rancho Cordova, where gamers can compete, interact, and learn about the latest trends in the esports industry.
Project Description
The Rancho Cordova Chamber of Commerce is in support of this two‐day event, which will include live broadcasted esports tournaments; a showcase for scholastic esports clubs, game developers, and vendors; giveaways; speaker sessions surrounding education and careers; along with screen‐free activities. A food truck and organized family activities will encourage guests to stay throu
ghout the day and maximize attendance. Please see the attached document and related publications for examples of typical community esports events. All esports events are highly customizable and are generally executed and scaled based on the event’s goals and available budget. Tournaments will be held in popular esport s titles such as Smash Bros. and Rocket League or League of Legends, to maximize competitive participation through multiple touch points. To support career‐building opportunities, we hire current students and recent graduates who are actively involved in our industry and have demonstrated excellence in their fields, to work alongside industry professionals. For our comm unity’s success, it is imperative to connect our youth and families with opportunities to engage with, and learn about, our local government. As such, we will promote the City of Rancho Cordova’s programs, economic opportunities, avenues to connect with elected officials, and pathways to get involved with civic leadership to strengthen collaborations and efforts, to ad
dress societal issues. We anticipate the total in‐person attendance (competitors, vendors, and general attendees) to be between 250 and 500, with online engagement to exceed 2000 views. Participation and viewership will fluctuate based on the number of event days, games selected, and co ntent produced. We are working with the staff at Rancho Cordova City Hall for facilities space.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are esports?
A: Esports are multiplayer video games played competitively for spectators. You can find a descriptive video and examples here.
Q: What does an esports event look like?
A: Similar to a traditional sporting event, like the Super Bowl or a major league hockey game, professional esports events are full scale competitive video game productions. As an example, in 2013 the League of Legends Finals sold out the L.A. Staples Center, which consisted of roughly 15,000 seats.
Often times, competitors are seated in front of gaming PCs on a stage, while game play is broadcasted on larger screens to the audience. Color commentators or “shoutcasters” will provide the audience with play-by-play announcements and background on players to connect observers with team plays and scores. Example photos of large scale esports productions are shown below.

ATTACHMENT 4
Q: Are all esports events this large?
A: Recently, esports has started appearing in smaller grassroots community-driven events expanding beyond competitive video game play with a focus on messaging aimed at supporting community building, workforce development, education, economic stimulation, and networking, in addition to the entertainment and fun that esports brings.
In 2019, representatives of College Esports (NPO) launched the Inaugural California State Fair Bear Cup Tournament, which included broadcasted competitive play, vendor booths, meet and greets with professional esports players, and free play areas. The second event is set to take place during the 2023 California State Fair.
In 2021 and 2022, College Esports (NPO) talent executed the inaugural College Esports International finals at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, CA, in collaboration with the Sacramento Kings and their NBA2K esports team, Kings Guard Gaming.
Application #29
ITEM 12.1.
ATTACHMENT 4
Smaller, but still largely impactful, events like the National Association of Esports Coaches and Directors (NAECAD) clinic take place on college campuses and community centers. These often feature vendors and guest speakers in addition to online or in person tournaments. Universities, like Boise State University also operate smaller scale events on campus grounds.
Application #29
ITEM 12.1.
ATTACHMENT 4
Q: What games are typically played for community enhancement events and what is the general setup?
A: For this event, we recommend Smash Bros. Ultimate and either Rocket League or League of Legends.
Smash Bros
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (aka Smash, Smash Bros., or Smash Ultimate) is a crossover fighting game published by Nintendo, for the Nintendo Switch. Controlling one of the various characters in the Nintendo universe, players must use different attacks to weaken their opponents and knock them out of an arena.
There are two players competing in a “versus” brawl match, per game. Each setup would include one Nintendo Switch console, one gaming monitor, one unlocked Smash Ultimate game, two Nintendo Switch Pro controllers, and two Game Cube adapters.
A $10 per player entry fee would be collected and added to the prize pool total. We can offer a tournament fee waiver for players who bring their own consoles, which would reduce the event’s equipment rental expense however it would also reduce the total prize pool.
For 100 competitors, we would need roughly 10-12 setups to execute a single day, 6-8 hour tournament. Attendees for Smash Bros tournaments are mostly competitors, so we would expect to see one live spectator for every four competitors. Games are projected to a larger screen for audience viewership.
Matches are broadcasted and streamed online and expected to gain more than 1000 views.
Application #29
ITEM 12.1.
ATTACHMENT 4
Rocket League
The best way to describe Rocket League is Soccer + Cars. It is a fantastical sport-based video game with easy-to-understand controls and fluid, physics-driven competition.
There are two teams of three players per game. Each team would be seated at a station that includes three gaming PCs, three gaming monitors, three controllers, three mouse and keyboards, and three headsets.
A $10 per individual player or $25 per team entry fee would be collected and added to the prize pool total. Both teams and individuals are encouraged to sign up. Individuals would be assigned to teams at the event.
For 8 teams (24 competitors), we would need roughly two stations to execute a single day, 6-8 hour tournament. Attendees for Rocket League tournaments are a mix of competitors and spectators, so we would expect to see two live spectators for every one competitor. Games are projected to a larger screen for live audience viewership.
Matches are broadcasted and streamed online and expected to gain more than 750 views.
Application #29
ITEM 12.1.
ATTACHMENT 4
League of Legends
League of Legends (aka League, or LoL) is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) tower defense team-based strategy game, where two teams of five powerful champions face off to destroy the other team’s base.
There are two teams of five players per game. Each team would be seated at a station that includes five gaming PCs, five gaming monitors, five mouse and keyboards, and five headsets.
A $40 per team entry fee would be collected and added to the prize pool total.
For 8 teams (40 competitors), we would need roughly two stations to execute a single day, 6-8 hour tournament. Attendees for League of Legends tournaments are a mix of competitors and spectators, so we would expect to see two live spectators for every one competitor. Games are projected to a larger screen for live audience viewership.
Matches are broadcasted and streamed online and expected to gain more than 1500 views.
Q: What other activities are available for non-video game players? A: We plan to add additional engagement opportunities like a showcase, family bonding activities, and ongoing marketing efforts. These would look like the following:
Showcase: In addition to the tournaments, the event will have a showcase area where school teams, game developers, and vendors can interact with attendees. Throughout the event speakers, interviews, or panels will provide breaks in game play and highlight ways esports and video games relate to economic development, career building, and education.
Application #29
ITEM 12.1.
ATTACHMENT 4
Family Bonding: Activities that are not video game playing and involve the whole family, like miniature model painting, help to bring families closer together without the use of screen time.
Marketing & Engagement: To spread awareness and strengthen user engagement, we plan to host giveaways and drawings leading up to and throughout the event. Attendees will be able to enter the giveaway by participating in the tournament, visiting vendor booths, and engaging with social media marketing campaigns.

Project Name
May is Bike Month Kick‐off: Rancho Cordova's "Cicladova" Project Synopsis
Rancho Cordova’s “Cicladova” is the kickoff for May is Bike Month 2024, centering active transportation concepts with a host of bicycling activities that promote cycling for health and recreation.
Project Description
Rancho Cordova's Active Streets “Cicladova” is a one day festival which aims to build awareness for equitable transportation alternatives and to community members of Rancho Cordova. The goal is to hold an Active Streets event (similar to CicLAvia.com) that includes walking and rolling, and active transportation activities such as a quick build streetscape, a bike rodeo, blender bikes, bike repair
and other activities related to health and wellness.. We want to showcase and promote this event as the kick‐off to May is BIke Month 2024, which will bring people in from all over Sacramento County and Rancho Cordova residents. The festival will promote act
ive transportation, physical and mental health. For years, the City of Rancho Cordova has supported work to improve bicycling and bicycling infrastructure, plus it was the start of a stage for the Tour of California. Rancho Cordova is primed for an event that brings energy, enthusiasm and awareness to active transporta tion experiences for citizens to both engage and participate in decisions about how streets could be re‐envisioned. We've learned from the pandemic that we can change streets overnight to create safer communities, yet, for those changes to last, community input is key. The point of this project is to uplift the comm unity in the process through a gathering of what could be, if the streetscape was built for people first and alternative forms of transportation. Plus, as it is the kick‐off event for May is BIke Month, we are bringing some fun! We envision a collaborative approach to placemaking with a project tea m reaching out to neighborhoods across all of Rancho Cordova, with added promotion through all of the May is Bike Month social media channels. As this is envisioned as the kick‐off event for May is Bike Month 2024, we want to see people actively participating, having fun and lear ning about transportation modes and how to configure their streets so that they are safe for all users.
Project Team
The Project Team includes: Lead organization is Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates, led by Deb Banks, Executive Director. We will act as the main party responsible for the project. Everyone else will be active partners in planning and execution of the project.
Partner: Drew Hart, Senior Transportation Planner. City of Rancho Cordova Partner: Cheryl Croshore, Execu tive.

2 Project Goals
Recent research shows that Rancho Cordovans have a high rate of being killed or severely injured by biking or walking in the city.
Dangerous street intersections, distracted driving and aggressive driving are all higher than statewide averages. This means that Rancho Cordova needs to re‐design its high injury streets to calm traffic an d save lives. Our Active Streets event will bring much needed attention to the streets highlighting the potential changes in the streetscape and help build a culture of riding that, in turn, makes everyone safer. We are shooting to reach 1500+ residents during the event, through active promotion and engagement. Our diverse
project team will conduct outreach in neighborhoods to ensure diverse participation. We are planning for three main evaluation metrics for the event. SABA has executed an event such as this in under three weeks time, but in order to be inclusive of local groups, we’ll need to conduct more thorough outrea ch across all of Rancho Cordova. We expect the Project team to design an outreach plan and aid in implementation. We will measure participation during the event, planning efforts prior to the event, as well as attitudes about active transportation post event. Metrics include but are not limited to: The Project Team will reach out to all of the neighborhoods and all of the businesses situated along the final street closure. At least 1500 people will attend the “ Cicladova”.
At least 100 people will report increasing their awareness of active transportation opportunities and will offer feedback on the quick‐build demonstration design. The Project Team will meet monthly, and more frequently as the event date approaches to debrief and gather notes available to the City. These notes will be combined into a “playbook” of sorts, a how‐to guide that others may find useful in the future. We will administer event surveys to participants focused on active street design. We plan on administering a version of the SOPARC tool.

3 SABA is applying for a supporting grant directly from Sacramento County’s Transient Occupancy Tax TOT) grant. If either this grant application, or the TOT application is not funded, we will form a plan to fundraise from within Rancho Cordova's business community and the greater May is Bike Month sponsors. If both are unfunded, the pro ject will be shelved. SABA has successfully raised funds for May is Bike Month the past 2 years, and we anticipate doing that again for 2024.
Project Schedule, Timeliness and Adaptability
Project Schedule
July 2023: Grant is earned! Contracts are signed. SABA begins working on building the leadership team. August 2023:
Leadership/Planning team is identified with core stakeholders and others identified by the core team. A timeline is created with a countdown to May is Bike Month 2024 mid‐month. SABA works on securing sponsors (both in‐kind & monetary) an d funding for the event. January 2024: Permits are identified and secured, a traffic plan is signed off by City of Rancho Cordova Public Works, all logistics are considered and securing additional funding for the event February & March 2024: Planning Team continues outreach to build awaren
ess of the event. Event is promoted on Rancho Cordova communication channels and May is Bike Month platforms.
April 2024: Planning team secures all local groups to participate in the event. A map of the event where everyone will be located throughout is created and distributed. May 2024: EVENT DAY! June 20 24: Final accounts and reports are created and distributed.
In addition to providing the project timeline identified above, describe how you will be able to complete your project by June 30, 2024.
As this is a one day event, if it is slated as the kick‐off for May is Bike Month, then we should have the remainder of May and June to complete all final grant reporting. We do not anticipate this as an issue.
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.
Sadly, no. This is an outdoor festival with people coming to participate. If we were dealing with another virus or substance similar to the way we did during the covid pandemic, we would adhere to social distancing, but otherwise, we would need to re‐schedule the festival until a time when we could safely gather outdoors.

Re: Rancho Cordo
a s Ac i e S ree s Ciclado a
Dear Stacy,
It is with pleasure that I submit this letter of support for Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates (SABA) Active Streets “Cicladova” in Rancho Cordova. It is our hope that with SABA’s leadership that an Active Streets event, “Cicladova”, would bring much needed attention to the transportation needs of Rancho Cordova, celebrating active transportation, while promoting clean air, safe streets, and positive placemaking.
The 50 Corridor TMA is a registered non-profit organization that serves communities along the US-50 corridor from the City of Sacramento to the western slope of the Sierras in El Dorado County, including the City of Rancho Cordova. In this capacity, we serve as the exclusive TMA to residential communities representing 20,000 households within the City of Rancho Cordova.
In these communities, we provide ongoing incentives and programming to support walking and bicycling, along with other sustainable transportation modes, including:
1. Bike rodeos and smart routes to school programming to teach safe riding skills and to encourage students and their families to choose sustainable transportation for their trips to and from school.
2. Regular and free bike repairs to keep residents ’ bicycles in good working order.
3. Regular and free community bike rides to introduce residents to the bikeways in their community.
Application #30
ITEM 12.1.
ATTACHMENT 4
4. Cash incentives for choosing sustainable modes of transportation.
5. Ongoing outreach and education about sustainable transportation options, including bicycling, walking, pay-per-mile auto insurance (to incentivize driving less), carpooling, vanpooling, transit, and carshare.
The residents we serve and the programs we run would directly and immediately benefit from the proposed open streets event. We hear from residents across Rancho Cordova every day that they want to walk and bike more, but they are not confident riding on the existing roads and bikeways. The proposed event would help build a culture of riding that, in turn, makes everyone safer.
The fact that 27 percent of severe and fatal crashes in Rancho Cordova involve a pedestrian (compared to 19 percent statewide) and 11 percent involve a bicyclist (compared to 8 percent statewide) means that it is imperative that we make much needed changes to our relationship with roads.
We are excited to be a part of this effort as it will bring attention to our streets and will highlight potential changes in the streetscape via quick-build demonstrations and other activities that showcase how streets could be made safer for all users.
The concept for the event is based on the well-known Ciclavia, made famous in Bogota, Columbia, which closes its downtown streets to vehicles every Sunday, giving way to citizens throughout the city to experience its downtown core through active modes: walking, bicycling, skating, or scooting.
SABA has been a leader in active transportation, getting more people to choose a bicycle for their daily errands, and for advocating for safe streets for all users. Their work this past year hosting May is Bike Month was fundamental to this project, as they successfully hosted a “SAClovia” on Del Paso Boulevard, activating the roadway with a street festival centered on active transportation and bicycling.
This effort, if granted, would take the concept of “slow and active streets” a step forward by giving residents in Rancho Cordova a chance to see how their streets could be configured differently.
We encourage you to grant this request.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Croshere

Project Information
Project Name
Sports Facilities Improvement and Maintenance
Project Synopsis
The project provides funds to the Cordova Community Council Foundation for the purpose of making improvements and providing maintenance activities to Rancho Cordova sports facilities.
Project Description
The project duplicates a program already operating in the City of Rancho Cordova, wherein a school district or park district provides labor or other services for field or facility improvements and repairs on their property with material and other services costs, and volunteer effort provided by the Rancho Cordova Athletic Association (RCAA). The proj ects are selected by a consortium of Rancho Cordova youth sports league leaders organized under the RCAA, a project of the Cordova Community Council Foundation (CCCF).
CCCF provides coordination, reporting, bookkeeping and oversight. The sports leagues which stand to benefit from this project include Rancho Cordova Little League, Cordova Girls Softball, Ranch o Cordova Soccer, Rancho Cordova Track Club, Cordova Blue Marlins, Cordova Cordettes, Cordova Jr. Lancers, and possibly others. This project meets Community Enhancement Fund criteria by advancing community pride, promoting civic engagement, improving quality of life offerings to residents, and by providing growth and education opportunities for youth and children in the community thr ough quality sports programs. This project leverages existing community assets and previous City investments. In partnership with the Cordova Community Council Foundation, the Project Team has proven capacity to deliver the project.

Project Goals
Goal #1: Continue to enhance facilities with a variety of projects, including by not limited to, addressing rodent infestations and other turf issues including insufficient play‐condition dirt on playing surfaces; enhancing playing conditions in area gymnasiums with wall padding and safety cages; curing unsightly conditions at sports fields which generally improve the facility and are of be nefit to the surrounding neighborhood; proactive efforts such as the addition of sun shades to baseball dugouts and other venues; improvements which enhance the ability of leagues to become more financially self‐sufficient, such as improvements to snack bar facilities; provide temporary solutions to existing deficiencies, such as lack of lighting at sports fields; an d other restoration and maintenance issues at public sports facilities in Rancho Cordova. Goal #2: Attract and retain tournament play through upgrading Application #35

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
$82,500
Estimated Breakdown of Project Expenditures
Overview: Projects are identified during collaborative meetings in which RCAA member leagues participate. Midway through the funding cycle, projects which have not yet been completed or initiated are reviewed for continued viability, with adjustments made.
This request is structured as an 18‐month request beginning Jan. 1, 2024 and ending June 30, 20 25 in order to realign grant funding deadlines with CEIF standards, which were disrupted by COVID. While the funds would be scheduled as shown below, the full amount of $82,500 would be available for the 18‐month project to allow flexibility needed for this complex project. Overall, this request mirrors previous years. The grant total $82,500 would be distributed as follows: Jan. 1, 2024‐June 30, 2024: $27,500. This includes $25,000 for materials and services match, to be determined by leagues actively participating in the RCAA and with agreement of property owners; and $2,500 for administrative, coordination, oversight and bookkeeping (Cordova C ommunity Council). July 1, 2024‐June 30, 2025: $55,000. This includes $50,000 for materials and services match, to be determined by leagues actively participating in the RCAA and with agreement of property owners; and $5,000 for administrative, coordination, oversight and bookkeeping (Cordova Community Council). Examples of recent projects include: •Improvements to dirt conditions on the Cordova Girls Softba
ll (CGS) and RC Little League (RCLL) fields •Turf treatments at Stone Creek Park to benefit RC Soccer •Storage container purchase to support RC Track Club and reorganization of all units in the Cordova High container enclosure •Dugout shade structure replacement at RCLL •Painting of containers at Ahlstrom Field (RCLL, PAL) •Scoreboard installation at RCLL •Acquisition of field maintenance tools for CGS •Snack bar renovations at RCLL •Upgrading and improvement of batting cages at CGS • Rental of light towers to provide a temporary lighting for Jr. Lancers football Matching Funds
These projects are supported and matched by property owners through the provision of labor and project management Include Any Other Funding Contributions
None

Total Community Enhancement & Investment Funds Requested $82,500
Is this a multi‐year request?
Yes
If you answered yes above, provide the number of years of grant funding you are requesting. 1 If you answered yes above, describe your sustainability plan and whether the project is viable as a single year request.
Upkeep and improvements to facilities is an on‐going challenge for youth sports leagues. With an overall goal of increasing participation in youth sports leagues, as league registration grows so does the ability to provide maintenance. The youth leagues are handicapped by lack of ownership of the facilities they utilize and often ar e seeking a higher level of maintenance than provided by property owners. However, as recent growth patterns indicate, the improved condition of facilities is a factor in the expansion of youth sports opportunities for Rancho Cordova youth. Furthermore, the ability to attract tournament play due to excellent facilities increases the fundraising cap acity which supports these leagues while bringing visitors to the city who are introduced to the many amenities offered here while sending customers to local restaurants and stores.
How many years have you received funding for this project? 8 Application #35

3 When will your request for funding sunset for ongoing programs? As aging facilities are upgraded (Mills Middle School Softball Complex, Hagan Community Pool) it is logical that improvement projects will be in lesser demand. However, new facilities also need to maintained, so it is likely that items such as field dirt and turf restoration needs will continue, and possibly increase, with greater pla y. It is likely that on‐going funding will be likely. The success of this project has contributed to the overall goal of RCAA, which is to grow overall participation, achieved in part with the offering of improved fields. The final report for this project ending December 31, 2022 is attached as demonstrati on of the overall success of this multi‐pronged approach. Please refer to Exhibit C: Progress Report, which includes a table showing substantial growth in participation since 2019, despite disruption in 2020 and 2021 by the COVID‐19 pandemic.
Do you plan to ask annually for funding?
Yes
What other funding will you seek to support your project? This is a true collaboration with the Folsom Cordova Unified School District and Cordova Recreation and Park District, which also contribute to its success.
Project Schedule, Timeliness and Adaptability
Project Schedule
While the funds would be scheduled as shown below, the full amount of $82,500 would be available for the 18‐month project to allow flexibility needed for this complex project. Overall, this request mirrors previous years. The grant total $82,500 would be distributed as follows: Jan. 1, 2024‐June 30, 2024: $27,500. This includes $25,000 for materials and services match, to be determined by leagues actively participating in the RCAA and with agreement of property owners; and $2,500 for administrative, coordination, oversight and bookkeeping (Cordova Community Council). July 1, 2024‐June 30, 2025: $55,000. This includes $50,000 for materials and services match, to be determined by leagues ac tively participating in the RCAA and with agreement of property owners; and $5,000 for administrative, coordination, oversight and bookkeeping (Cordova Community Council).
In addition to providing the project timeline identified above, describe how you will be able to complete your project by June 30, 2024.
While this project suffered significant delays during COVID, when work crews were unavailable and leagues were not functioning, the project gained real traction in 2022. As a vital part of the overall RCAA youth sports leagues growth strategies, the close monitoring of project progress will continue to insure completion in a timely manner.
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.
In the event of a health orders change, this project will once again be subject to rules imposed by property owners which make this project possible. Modifications may be possible, but youth sports leagues by definition are in‐person activities which would likely be curtailed in the event of a pandemic‐like event.
