ITEM 9.2.

DATE: June 19, 2023

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: Albert Stricker, Public Works Director
Dalia Fadl, Principal Engineer

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE CONTRACT NO. 2023-26 WITH PB ELECTRIC INC. IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $880,910 FOR THE PUMP STATION

GENERATORS PROJECT

RECOMMENDATION

Adopt the Resolution.

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

Adoption of the Resolution would authorize the City Manager to execute Construction Contract No. 2023-26 in an amount not to exceed $880,910 with PB Electric Inc. to construct the Pump Station Generators Project.

BACKGROUND

The City of Rancho Cordova operates and maintains six stormwater drainage pump stations throughout the City (see Attachment 2 for City Pump Stations Map). Bear Hollow Drainage Pump Station (D-44) is the only one of the six pump stations that has a standby backup generator. The City owns and operates one portable backup generator, which is shared between the other five pump stations. During power outages, any of the pump stations can be without a backup source of power, which increases the risk of flooding to roads, neighboring homes, and businesses.

The work to be performed under the Pump Station Generators Project consists of furnishing and installing four standby generators and related electrical components, including conduits, conductors, and appurtenances for fully operational standby power systems. One generator will be installed at each of the pump stations: Sunriver (D-07), Citrus Road (D-08), West Coloma (D-11), and Mather Industrial (D-46). The portable generator will be permanently assigned to the Mills Tower Pump Station (D-13).

City staff coordinated with the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) to submit a subapplication to FEMA for project funding under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). In May of 2022, FEMA approved this project for reimbursable funds up to $661,000.

Bids for this work were solicited on the City's website and CIPList.com on February 9, 2023.

City Council Staff Report - Page 2 of 2

Bids for the project were publicly opened on Thursday, March 9, 2023. Only one bid was received. As a result, FEMA directed the City to rebid the project. The rebid was posted on April 28, 2023. Bids were publicly opened on May 25, 2023. After careful review of the submitted sealed bids, the City deemed the apparent low bidder to be nonresponsive due to failure to acknowledge the bid addenda and other irregularities. The lowest responsible and responsive bidder was PB Electric Inc. with a bid amount of $880,910. The contract award is based on the lowest base bid, and there are no project bid alternates.

This project is expected to be under construction after substantial completion of the Pump Stations Improvement Project. Construction is expected to be completed by July 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE

The Pump Station Generators Project is funded from the Stormwater Enterprise Fund and FEMA HGMP grant funds. There is no impact to the City's General Fund. This project is included in the City's current approved FY 2022-23 Capital Improvement Plan.

MEMORANDUM

City Council Staff Report - Page 1 of 2

ITEM 9.3.

DATE: June 19, 2023

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: Randi Kay Stephens, Management Analyst II

SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF THE SECOND ROUND OF NONPROFIT COVID-19

RECOVERY AND SUPPORT GRANTS

RECOMMENDATION

Receive a staff report and approve the second round of nonprofit COVID-19 recovery grants for FY 2022-2023.

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

City staff will distribute the funds allocated for the second round of nonprofit COVID grants per the council subcommitee's recommendation list as authorized by Resolution No. 117-2022 for nonprofit recovery and support.

BACKGROUND

In June of 2021, City Council approved funding from both Measure H and Measure R to be used for nonprofit COVID-19 relief. A pilot program launched in January of 2022 and nonprofits founded in 2021 or earlier who are located in and serve Rancho Corodva residents were eligible to apply. In addition, the nonprofit was required to be in good standing with the California Secretary of State at the time, if required by law, and be a qualified nonprofit with proof of IRS Federal Tax-Exempt status. Lastly, it had to demonstrate that COVID-19 impacted them directly, such as to cover a loss of earnings, a decline in revenue, unexpected expenses to keep operating during the pandemic, or an increase in demand for services. Applicants applied online and City staff reviewed grant applications for completeness and eligibility.

Complete and eligible applications were reviewed by a review panel which met to discuss the applications and make a recommendation for funding disposition. In total, 36 grants were provided to Rancho Cordova-based nonprofits in fiscal year 2021-2022, totaling $335,000.

During the November 29, 2022, council meeting, a subcommittee consisting of Councilmembers Gatewood and Pulipati was created to provide Council input into the awards process for the second round of recovery grants launched in January 2023 and funded by American Rescue Plan Act dollars. The 2023 grant application focused on strengthening nonprofit resiliency, capacity building, and succession planning. Each nonprofit was required to be in good standing with the California Secretary of State, if required by law, and be a qualified nonprofit with proof of IRS Federal Tax-Exempt status. Additionally, each organization was verified for being located in and serving Rancho Cordova. Of the 49 applications received, 42 were eligible for funding. Several were resubmitted by applicants and two were ineligible. Staff

City Council Staff Report - Page 2 of 2

provided initial recommendations to the subcommittee which was based on considerations such as the organization's impact (number of Rancho Cordovans served) along with the organization's operating budget dedicated to serving Rancho Cordova. The nonprofit applicants were sorted into seven categories to describe their service to the Rancho Cordova community:

Arts, Business Support, Education, Family Services, Food Security/Homelessness, Service Organizations/Services to Veterans, and Sports. The subcommittee met twice to review and complete its recommendations of awards to 42 nonprofit organizations.

According to the National Council of Nonprofits, 92% of nonprofits are small and community- based, serving local needs. The nonprofit COVID-19 recovery and support grants enrich the fabric of our community by building a stronger nonprofit future for both small and community- based organizations serving Rancho Cordova. The list of recommended organizations and grant amounts is enclosed as an attachment to this staff report. Listed below is the category name along with the amounts and percent of funding the subcommittee recommends for distribution through the fiscal year 2022-2023 nonprofit recovery grant program.

1. Arts: $27,000 (5%)

2. Business Support: $27,500 (6%)

3. Sports: $65,000 (13%)

4. Education: $74,000 (15%)

5. Family Services: $95,000 (19%)

6. Services to Organizations/Services to Veterans: $99,000 (20%)

7. Food Security/Homelessness: $107,000 (21%)

8. Unallocated: $5,500 (1%)

Staff is prepared to complete the timely distribution of the awards with check processing commencing before the end of the current fiscal year.

FISCAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE

The funding source is the American Rescue Plan Act as allocated by the City Council on June 20, 2022, by Resolution No. 117-2022.

Describe the services the organization provides to Rancho Cordova residents.

We administer the free spay/neuter grant program funded by Measure H and R. 289 residents were able to spay/neuter their pets through this program in the last fiscal year. We provide pet food for low income residents upon request. We fully fund daily food for over 160 homeless cats in Rancho Cordova, through volunteer caretakers and residents of the cit y. Our volunteer builds shelters and feeding stations for homeless cats, provided at no cost to low income resident caretakers. Over 250 shelters and 150 feeding stations were built in 2022. Our volunteers trapped 120 stray cats for TNR, fostered kittens and educated reside nts on resources for any question they may have, because we answer our phones every day, 3‐10 calls per day. We feel phone contact is vital, especially for senior citizens. Dog and cat food is provided for over 100 Meals on Wheels seniors and 60 Vets at Mather Veterans Village, plus more at ot
her Mercy care centers.

Describe the organization’s target beneficiaries (e.g., seniors, youth, families, veterans, etc.) families with pets, seniors, youth (education), and Veterans COVID‐19 Impact
Describe the impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization’s programs/activities (e.g., increase/decrease in demand for services, program modifications due to social distancing, new programming to serve those impacted, limited operations, etc.) The demand for spay/neuter has increased exponentially while the clinics providing services were less efficient due to COVID‐19 protocols, COVID‐10 sickness that ended up closing the operations down for a time, lack of veterinarians and Vet techs to fill the needs of the community. Besides this, the cost for spay/neuter at these clinics has incr eased, which will use up our grant funding at double the expected rate.

Describe the impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization’s finances (e.g., increased or new expenses, reduced/cancelled fundraising, loss of earnings, decline in revenue, etc.) We had to cancel all our fundraising events, such as our annual dinner and raffle prize event. The cost of cat food has nearly doubled, or is unavailable. Our Rescue Bank Ambassador, where we would be able to get pallets of food for the cost of shipping, could not provide much cat f ood  at all. We are still able to get enough dog food for the seniors on the Meals on Wheels program and all food needed for Veterans. We thought the supply chain issues would be easing by now, so pet food would return to moderate prices and availability would stabilize. This has not been the case. Ca t food is very hard to find at reasonable prices, and many lower cost brands are not even available.

Describe any other impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization (e.g., staffing changes, volunteer impacts, periods of closure, mitigation efforts to contain the spread of COVID‐19, etc.) The periods of closure at the spay/neuter clinics hit us hard. We were unable to spay/neuter stray cats, and had nothing to offer our residents for their pets. Their protocols are still more inefficient due to spacing or offering only drive‐up services. I am sure this has ITEM 9.3.

ATTACHMENT 2

3 added to the costs they are now passing down to us. We have had very few new volunteers during this public health emergency, which increased the burdens on remaining volunteers.

What steps has the organization taken to address financial impacts of COVID‐19? We continue to apply for grant funding, such as the Glide Foundation, participate in Big Day of Giving in May of each year, and did receive $5,000 in a COVID Relief grant last year. These efforts have helped us, however, the supply chain issues and increases in spay/neuter costs are still impacting us.

How has the organization become more resilient in light of the pandemic? We rely more on phone and online methods to communicate with residents. We have expanded our board of directors to include two seasoned community members who have vast experience in this field. We have begun outreach to other large animal based non profits, so we can work together to provide more options fo r  spay/neuter. We are hoping to support more spay/neuter by having Mobile Vet Services in conjunction with Rancho Cordova Animal Services in 2023.

Describe the services the organization provides to Rancho Cordova residents.

Our mission and vision support our work to: build stronger families; empower parents to meet their family's needs; promote youth leadership through positive peer and adult relationships and increase community involvement. Our Family Resource Center is a community hub that offers parenting workshops, fun activities for children and families, school readiness activities, s upport  groups, crisis intervention, safe sleep workshops, stress reducing activities and community events. (Due to COVID‐19, most of the Family Resource Center programming has been virtual, but we have had some safe community events in our parking lot.) We are one of nine Birth & Beyond Family Resource Centers located in Sacrame nto County. It is our goal to partner with families to create a safe, fun and educational environment for the entire family to succeed and accomplish their goals. Our Job Center, one of the twelve America's Job Centers in the region, provides employment resources and career training to in dividuals  (including refugees and asylees) who are seeking job search and career development training. Also we offer Youth Services at our Job Center and in the Rancho Cordova community and schools, which focus on providing at‐risk and foster youth with tools for success and self‐ sufficiency. This includes providing positive role models thr ough mentoring activities, building professionalism and leadership skills, and providing work experience and job attainment assistance. Finally, the FCCP has been a key organization to provide COVID‐19 education and awareness and free COVID‐19 testing in Rancho Cordova. We provide free vaccine education and access as well as free community testing at our R
ancho Cordova testing site.

Describe the organization’s target beneficiaries (e.g., seniors, youth, families, veterans, etc.) FCCP serves Rancho Cordova community members that are in need of support. We served families, youth, seniors, refugees and asylees, unemployed and under‐employed, disabled and disadvantaged. We have many programs that serve specific populations/demographics, but over‐all, our services are provided to anyone/those in need. All of our services are fre e  to the community.

COVID‐19 Impact
Describe the impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization’s programs/activities (e.g., increase/decrease in demand for services, program modifications due to social distancing, new programming to serve those impacted, limited operations, etc.) The impact of COVID‐19 has definitely increased the demand for our emergency and financial supports and our employment and job training services. Our community support services, which provide one‐on‐one crisis assessment, community‐based advocacy, referrals and resources, as well as short‐term and long‐term solution focused case management, have been extremely important in these stressful times. The FCC
P immediately "went virtual" at the beginning of the pandemic ‐‐ our staff began working from home and transitioned most of our programming to online and phone platforms. Our staff has continued with a hybrid model of virtual and onsite services, making su re  scheduling provides plenty of room for social distancing. We have maintained a policy of always wearing masks indoors throughout the pandemic, as well as moved all of our internal meetings to Zoom. We have continued a hybrid model of service delivery virtual and in person) and have found that we are able to serve more of our constit uents this way.

3 Our mentoring, employment and job training services that require in‐person meeting take place in socially distanced spaces, and by appointment when needed.

Describe the impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization’s finances (e.g., increased or new expenses, reduced/cancelled fundraising, loss of earnings, decline in revenue, etc.) FCCP has received more restricted grant funding specifically for our COVID‐19 public health emergency, but our unrestricted funding has decreased drastically. We had to cancel our fundraising events, which brought in over $30,000 each year. Our individual and corporate donations also decreased significantly ‐‐ many of our usual donors weren't in positions to gi ve the way they had.

Describe any other impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization (e.g., staffing changes, volunteer impacts, periods of closure, mitigation efforts to contain the spread of COVID‐19, etc.) We have had staffing challenges due to the pandemic. Because our Leadership was so busy working to address the impacts of COVID‐19 restrictions and securing COVID‐19 specific services needed in the community, there was not time to replace staff that left the organization, and very little time to recruit new staff for new CO VID‐19 programming. We also were not able to keep the majority of our volunteers, due to programming going virtual and COVID‐19 restrictions. Fortunately, we are an organization where most of our staff can work virtually, and we haven't had to close, but it's been difficult on our staff to work through th ese challenges.

What steps has the organization taken to address financial impacts of COVID‐19? FCCP has been a key partner is providing financial services and resources to our community, receiving government grants to specifically address the COVID‐19 pandemic. In addition to delivering the COVID‐19 funding and resources provided by the grants, the FCCP has worked to bolster and expand our ongoing programming, as the need is even grea ter due to the pandemic.

How has the organization become more resilient in light of the pandemic? Because of the pandemic, FCCP is now able to operate completely virtual when circumstances and the environmental factors requires it. We have updated our use of technologies to allow staff to work virtually. We have created additional infrastructure to reach more community members through never before used service delivery methods. The pa ndemic  has also allowed FCCP to add a new program modality in Adjacent Health Services. FCCP was able to step into a gap in the community to provide needed support services.

What is the organization's total operating budget?
FCCP's approved operating budget for the fiscal year July 2022‐ June 2023 is $3,568,294.00 Read‐Only Content

COVID‐19 Impact
Describe the impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization’s programs/activities (e.g., increase/decrease in demand for services, program modifications due to social distancing, new programming to serve those impacted, limited operations, etc.) Social distancing imposed because of the COVID‐19 pandemic presented challenges to the health and wellbeing of people with mental health and homeless issues, family careers, and healthcare professionals. This aspect could be also emphasized using technological devices that might lead to a depersonalization of relationships, forcing the sense of personal virtually re alties  may provide a more effective way to counsel client with low self esteem in personal communications. RCRC is focus this year to develop an online therapy and social service program, called Its Your Time! (Pending in June 2023) Describe the impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization’s finances (e.g., increased or new expenses, reduced/cancelled fundraising, loss of earnings, decline in revenue, etc.) The social distance and the security measures have affected the relationship among people and their perception of empathy toward others. From this perspective, telepsychology and technological devices assume important roles to increased negative effects of the pandemic, R.C.R.C. at this present phase is applying for financial support to provide these new te chnological  devices, to become ITEM 9.3.

Describe the impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization’s finances (e.g., increased or new expenses, reduced/cancelled fundraising, loss of earnings, decline in revenue, etc.) Save The Snakes fiances were impacted in the following ways: Our organization experienced a decline in donations, our 2020 wildlife conservation ecotour to Costa Rica was canceled and multiple workshops were canceled. We estimate that we had a decrease in earnings of about $20,000.

Describe any other impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization (e.g., staffing changes, volunteer impacts, periods of closure, mitigation efforts to contain the spread of COVID‐19, etc.) Save The Snakes essentially stopped all public events from mid‐2019 to late 2020. After health and Sacramento County officials could provide safe guidance on the pandemic, we were able to resume operations again. Once we began programs again, we invested in COVID‐19 mitigation tools (masks, sanitizers, etc).

What steps has the organization taken to address financial impacts of COVID‐19? As Save The Snakes currently has no paid staff, our organization focus funds to developing multiple revenue streams so as to not rely solely on individual contributions from our supporters. We developed a snake handling program for first responders, wildlife ITEM 9.3.

3 biologists, zoo keepers and other professionals who encounter rattlesnakes at their place of work. This program has become our number one source of revenue. Additionally, we created the outdoor Sacramento Snake Festival (www.savethesnakes.org/snakefest), which generated incredible local awareness about our snake conservation efforts in Rancho Cordova. Lastly, we increased our effort to find grant funding.

How has the organization become more resilient in light of the pandemic? The COVID‐19 public health emergency allowed our organization to plan and strategize. To better serve our community in Northern California, in 2021, Save The Snakes founded the Snake Conservation Center (SCC) in Rancho Cordova. This facility represents a truly unique opportunity for our organization, which has greatly expanded our local and international snak e conservation efforts and also serves as an educational resource for our community in Northern California. The SCC acts as a foundation from which to conduct our work and better serve our worldwide network of Conservation Partners. The SCC allows us to grow our regional snake education programs, drastically reduce human‐ra ttlesnake conflict and address the snake conservation needs of threatened and endangered snake species in the United States. Plus, the SCC serves as a physical location for all things snake education! The SCC houses multiple ambassador snakes in naturalistic habitats that were donated to Save The Snakes. Our te am  of volunteer wildlife biologists and environmental educators currently offer workshops, learning programs for students, on‐the‐go resources and information at local events, and specialized training courses about venomous snake handling and relocation.

What is the organization's total operating budget?

2 Many children in our community have little to no food available to them over the weekend. They receive free breakfast and lunch from their school, but there are 65 hours when we step in to ensure the children have a weekend bag of food to take home every Friday.

Describe the services the organization provides to Rancho Cordova residents.

We provide weekend food bags to 600 children, of which 500 children attend FCUSD schools and SCUSD, Abraham Lincoln elementary school. 50% of them receive pre‐packaged meals, while the other half come to our food locker, every 2 weeks, and picks up food. We are currently providing weekend food bags for every elementary school in R ancho Cordova (FCUSD) and 20 students at Cordova High School in the ELD department. In December we host a toy & grocery giveaway and provide a bag of toys and a box of groceries to 150 families that live in Rancho Cordova.

Describe the organization’s target beneficiaries (e.g., seniors, youth, families, veterans, etc.) Our children are the primary beneficiaries of everything we do. Our toy and grocery giveaway benefits children and their parents.

COVID‐19 Impact
Describe the impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization’s programs/activities (e.g., increase/decrease in demand for services, program modifications due to social distancing, new programming to serve those impacted, limited operations, etc.) We had to cancel our annual charity golf tournament in 2020 because Mather Golf Course and the rest of California was shut down.

We had to cancel our golf tournament in 2022 because when I got Covid it accelerated my heart disease, and I was very sick until they replaced my hear t  valve in Nov. 2022. Our golf tournament is in October and I'm the tournament director. We have had an increase of 55% more children added to our program over the last 1 1/2 years and we the need is still growing.

Describe the impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization’s finances (e.g., increased or new expenses, reduced/cancelled fundraising, loss of earnings, decline in revenue, etc.) Our profit from our golf tournament is approx. $20,000 and we missed our tournament for 2 years. The 55% increase in students is $34,000 for the school year. Our donations were hit hard during Covid but I have tried to make up the difference with food drives.

Describe any other impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization (e.g., staffing changes, volunteer impacts, periods of closure, mitigation efforts to contain the spread of COVID‐19, etc.) This is about the only area that Covid helped us because there were many who were not able to work, which gave them time to volunteer with us. We have had many volunteers step up over the last 3 years.

What steps has the organization taken to address financial impacts of COVID‐19? Grant writing, mostly unsuccessful, has been my main focus. We're hosting a "Souper Bowl" soup drive thru Super Bowl Sunday which we hope will replenish our shelves. I've been re‐establishing relationships with local businesses to remind them who we are, what we're doing and how much we appreciate their help which e nables  us to do what we do. We have scheduled our 6th annual Swing To End Hunger charity golf tournament for October 2023.

3 How has the organization become more resilient in light of the pandemic? Even though we were exhausted, we got a very necessary shot in the arm from Covid, Our program works 100% on anonymity which means we don't know the children on our program. Each Friday that we held the drive‐thru we made sure to have a surprise for the kids, along with foo d  bags. We got to look into the eyes of the kids we were giving a surprise to and see the looks of appreciation from the parents. Their kind words, sometimes accompanied by tears, warmed our hearts, and made all of the hard work worth it.

We learned to let volunteers help us be cause as seniors, we can't do it all by ourselves.

What is the organization's total operating budget?
As our program has grown so has our food budget. With the exception of our rent for our food locker, 100% of the funds we raise are used to buy food for the children. With 600 students we will be spending $2,100 a week/$76,000 for the school year. Currently, we have $9 7,000  in our food account which will carry us through this school year and 1/4 of the way through the new school year. In the 8 years we've been running Blessings in a Backpack we have always run with sufficient funds, and we didn't have to worry. I'm worried for the 2 023/2024  school year.

We provide a safe and fun sober event for the graduating senior class. We also provide staff appreciation events or gifts to all staff on the Cordova High School campus. We partner with staff to provide insight into the remaining student body on ways to make the school environment safer, accommodating, and wel coming  to all students regardless of race, gender, sexuality, religious beliefs, etc.

Additionally, we participate in conversations to provide insight into how we can help improve ways to make learning easier for the students.

Describe the organization’s target beneficiaries (e.g., seniors, youth, families, veterans, etc.) Students and staff at Cordova High School.

COVID‐19 Impact
Describe the impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization’s programs/activities (e.g., increase/decrease in demand for services, program modifications due to social distancing, new programming to serve those impacted, limited operations, etc.) The last 3 years have been difficult to be able to provide any sort of recognition to the students or staff due to the challenges of the pandemic. The first 2 years we were able to provide yard signs to the graduating class, and last year we were able to put on a small celebration for the seniors outdoors on cam
pus, but we were still limited to what we could do or bring to the celebration.

Describe the impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization’s finances (e.g., increased or new expenses, reduced/cancelled fundraising, loss of earnings, decline in revenue, etc.) Financially, our PTSA has struggled due to business closures and the recession. There are not as many companies that are willing to donate to us as there were prior to the pandemic. Our neighborhood families are also struggling and find it difficult to join the PTSA financially. Now, during the recession with th e  increased cost in everything, we are finding it difficult to keep up with basic fundraising efforts in order to even come close to putting on the same celebration as last year. We want to be able to provide a FREE event to our seniors as our community cannot afford any a dded  expenses, especially during senior year.

Describe any other impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization (e.g., staffing changes, volunteer impacts, periods of closure, mitigation efforts to contain the spread of COVID‐19, etc.) We are still a very small PTSA being ran by 4 people. Finding parental volunteers has been incredibly challenging in all aspects of the high school's organizations, not just our PTSA.

What steps has the organization taken to address financial impacts of COVID‐19? Thankfully, last year the PTSA was awarded one of the City's recovery grants which helped put our books back on track and we were able to put together a celebration for the senior class and provide a little gift to each staff member. Since then, we are working with local food businesses to do fu ndraisers, amazon smile fundraising, and employer‐based fundraising.

3 How has the organization become more resilient in light of the pandemic? Our PTSA has learned to function with minimal volunteers and have been able to adapt to each situation to ensure that students and staff are celebrated as best as they can at that time. We have learned to overcome adversity, show empathy and compassion to our entire community as we all a dapt  to each new challenge that is thrown our way. We continue to listen to the students and staff and help provide insight into ways that staff and teachers can help students learn easier and adapt to their own challenges.

2 Empowering medically underserved communities, particularly bilingual communities, with medical knowledge to improve medical outcomes and prevent disease. Initially we began with COVID‐19 prevention but we are expanding to education about other important diseases of diabetes, cancer, mental health, nutrition and strabismus among children.

Geographic Area(s) Served
Rancho Cordova, Sacramento and California.

Number of residents of Rancho Cordova served annually?
greater than 2000
Number of residents outside of Rancho Cordova served annually? We have distributed over 150,000 of our medical education books nationally Tax Exemption Status

No
Describe the services the organization provides to Rancho Cordova residents.

Developing and distributing medical bilingual education about important community diseases to empower them with medical knowledge and contribute to positive health outcomes. We will be targeting local grade school children in the next year with education about diabetes, strabismus, mental health and nutrition.

Describe the organization’s target beneficiaries (e.g., seniors, youth, families, veterans, etc.) Our educational is based on educating children of underserved communities. Our material is then designed to be taken home by these children and educating the extended family through the interactions they have with their children.

COVID‐19 Impact
Describe the impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization’s programs/activities (e.g., increase/decrease in demand for services, program modifications due to social distancing, new programming to serve those impacted, limited operations, etc.) Our program works with 410 grades schools nationally to prevent COVID‐19, promote vaccination and improve treatments in underserved communities.

Describe the impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization’s finances (e.g., increased or new expenses, reduced/cancelled fundraising, loss of earnings, decline in revenue, etc.) We received grants from the Rockefellar Foundation and Genentech to allow us to distribute educational material to 410 grade schools in underserved communities. The cost of the production of our educational material, mailing and distribution costs put a great financial burden on our resources. We provided our educational material to these u nderserved  communities at no cost to them. As we expand to educate about other important community diseases such as diabetes, mental health, strabismus and cancer we are experiencing far greater financial needs. Also at a time when the threat of COVID‐19 persists we will require updates to our COVID‐19 prevention an d vaccine promotion material. We have partnered with the National Hispanic Medical Association to ensure that our medical educational material is both relevant and effective.

Describe any other impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization (e.g., staffing changes, volunteer impacts, periods of closure, mitigation efforts to contain the spread of COVID‐19, etc.) Because we began as a COVID‐19 prevention organization, all of our resources were spent on its prevention and vaccination promotion in medically underserved communities. Our expenses were significantly increased because our volunteers and staff required COVID‐19 protection.

What steps has the organization taken to address financial impacts of COVID‐19? ITEM 9.3.

ATTACHMENT 2

3 We have renewed our efforts to solicit funds from the pharmaceutical industry , the National Hispanic Medical Association and public.

How has the organization become more resilient in light of the pandemic? We have used expensively volunteers to keep our expenses down so we can use our resources to primarily develop the future educational material we will distribute in medically underserved communities.

Describe the organization’s target beneficiaries (e.g., seniors, youth, families, veterans, etc.) Soil Born Farms’ programs serve the general public from Rancho Cordova and Sacramento County as a whole. Our location on the county‐owned American River Ranch is open for drop‐in visits, self‐guided tours, volunteer opportunities, and a wide variety of educational events and classes. Our Youth Education programs serve K‐12 y outh,  and place a particular focus on partnering with Rancho Cordova and South Sacramento’s lowest income public schools. Teachers and school districts are supported in school garden management and garden‐based education, delivering garden‐based learning for thousands of students each year. Soil Born Farms’ hosts on‐farm exploratory fie ld trips for classes and homeschool groups from throughout the Sacramento region, subsidizing visits for low‐income school sites. Five of the schools served on a regular basis live within walking distance of our farm. Soil Born Farms’ work addresses food system inequities by providing low‐ to moderate‐income families with healt hy  food access and organic garden ITEM 9.3.

COVID‐19 Impact
Describe the impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization’s programs/activities (e.g., increase/decrease in demand for services, program modifications due to social distancing, new programming to serve those impacted, limited operations, etc.) The pandemic brought an abrupt halt to the majority of Soil Born Farms’ programs, most of which are based on in‐person interactions. Our team rapidly shifted focus and developed new program areas to meet the needs of the community. Now in‐person education and services are taking place once again, an d  we are still working to rebuild our capacity to operate programs at pre‐ pandemic levels. Enduring pandemic‐era innovations include: ‐ Development of an Online Marketplace to facilitate local food access, sourcing produce, grocery items, plant starts, fruit trees and gardening supplies from our farm alongside 40+ local farms and food artisans. The Online Mar
ketplace now takes place alongside our weekly in‐person Farm Stand. ‐ The community demand for garden education was massive during the pandemic. We created new avenues for education, including instructional YouTube videos; virtual farm tours, home garden learning kits and curriculum for school classes; Zoom classes on gar dening  skills; virtual school garden teacher training; and nutrition/cooking/gardening education through our e‐newsletter. A great deal of education also took place through one‐on‐one interactions at the Online Marketplace drive through pick up. Many of these modes of education have endured as useful tools ‐ for example, a portion of s chool  garden teacher trainings are still hosted virtually, which increases the number of teachers who are able to attend. Likewise, Zoom classes have become a staple in our broader selection of Adult Education offerings. ‐ We utilized the pandemic shutdown to tackle infrastructure upgrades at the American River Ranch, all aimed at incr easing public accessibility and enhancing education. Completed projects include widening the entrance road, installing an ADA accessible parking lot, new outdoor classrooms, Farmhouse Kitchen renovation, and utility upgrades to support current and future facilities. The City of Rancho Cordova has been a partner in these improvements.

Describe the impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization’s finances (e.g., increased or new expenses, reduced/cancelled fundraising, loss of earnings, decline in revenue, etc.) We consider 2023 another year of strengthening and rebuilding from the effects of the pandemic. Prior to COVID, Soil Born Farms was making steady progress toward improved financial stability year over year. Pandemic‐related restrictions effectively reduced our overall funding from 2019 to 2022 by about 20% each year. We experienced drasti c  reductions in revenue from donations, fee for service programs, events and fundraisers. A variety of state and federal aid has been used to stabilize our staffing and program levels and minimize debt. The cost of new safety measures related to COVID included increased single use packaging of produce, new handwashing s tations, shade canopies for outdoor operations, porta potty rental, and new cleaning protocol, which initially totaled over $20,000. While these expenses have leveled off somewhat, we continue to experience long‐term financial challenges. For instance, for the third year in a row we canceled our major Autumn Equinox fundraiser, in par t  due to internal staffing turnover, and in part due to limited capacity of the event’s restaurant partners, who are also grappling with countless stressors. With these types of challenges in mind, we have developed a thoughtful but ambitious approach to our current budget, planning for continued recovery toward pre‐pandemic levels of fina ncial stability. We are also working toward new strategies for long‐term financial resilience, including the development of a legacy giving program.

Describe any other impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization (e.g., staffing changes, volunteer impacts, periods of closure, mitigation efforts to contain the spread of COVID‐19, etc.) Over the past 3 years we have continually adapted to shifting circumstances, working overtime to ensure that our programs remained relevant, our staff was cared for, and the organization remained viable. Though the process has been hugely taxing, we are emerging with gratitude for having survived as an organization and with a clear fo cus  on our path forward. The largest impacts that we are still feeling from the COVID pandemic include: Staff Turnover: Soil Born Farms has experienced staff turnover at a higher than normal rate during COVID and the Great Resignation. The vast majority of staff have left with an amicable relationshi p to the organization, yet career advancement opportunities, new babies, and other factors have prompted them to move on. As a grassroots non‐profit, we struggle to offer wage/benefit packages that are competitive in the current job market, and that keep pace with soaring inflation. Staffing Levels: Initially during the p andemic  our staffing levels were reduced for education and events.

Organization‐wide we consolidated and condensed many roles, working as efficiently as possible with minimum staffing. We are still working to rebuild to pre‐pandemic levels of staffing across our program areas. Illness: As of late, staff illnesses have also challenged our ability to proceed with business as usual ‐ the so called “tripledemic” of COVID, RSV , the flu have kept us occupied covering for
staff who are out sick or caring for family members who are sick. An Element of Uncertainty: Though we are hopeful that 2023 will bring predictability, there re mains  an element of uncertainty as we plan events/programs into the new year. For example, as ITEM 9.3.

4 mentioned, despite having planned to bring back our signature Autumn Equinox fundraising event in 2022, it was canceled due to circumstances out of our control. We continue to develop both plans and contingency plans as the future unfolds.

What steps has the organization taken to address financial impacts of COVID‐19? ‐ Applied for California COVID‐19 Relief Grant Program ($25,000 received) ‐ Applied for USDA Coronavirus Food Assistance Program ($10,835 received) ‐ Applied for USDA Agricultural Marketing Service Pandemic Response and Safety Grant Program ($20,000 received) ‐ Applied for City of Rancho Cordova Recovery Grant ($10,000 received) ‐ Increased revenue from weekly drive‐thru Marketplace sales of locally‐grown an d locally‐made products ‐ 2 rounds of Paycheck Protection Program funding ‐ Employee Retention credit funding ‐ SBA Economic Injury Disaster loan ($500,000) ‐ Earned Income Tax Credit ($365,000) ‐ Reduced staffing levels
How has the organization become more resilient in light of the pandemic? Cultivating resilience and adaptability has been a regular practice for Soil Born Farms since the onset of the pandemic, with actions including: ‐ Developing sustainable revenue streams through mission‐driven micro‐businesses that provide the community with organic gardening supplies, fruit trees, plant starts, dried herbal tea blends, prepared meals and soups, drie d  flower art pieces, and more. ‐ Leveraging win‐win community partnerships to advance our mission without overextending our staff’s capacity. ‐ Completing improvements to our education center and facilities to increase our capacity to serve the community. ‐ Investing in our programs that provide the highest level of community benefit. ‐ Working toward further diversification of the or ganization’s revenue streams. ‐ Reorganizing our staffing structure for efficiency and to best utilize our team’s strengths.

Are any of the organization's staff or Board members immediate family members of one or more elected/appointed officials of the City of Rancho Cordova? If yes, please explain.

No
Describe the services the organization provides to Rancho Cordova residents.

We offer organized youth sports for the community and a way for the high school to help guide the community players into their programs. We do this through running multiple seasons of football, as well as training camps, and team events to help build spirit and unity on our teams. We believe that ke eping kids active will help promote healthy lifestyles and keep kids out of trouble. It is out hope that the positive experiences that we foster will stick with them throughout their lives. Our organization also helps us to compete with our surrounding communities that do have football organizations for th eir  residents. Families make considerations such as youth sport offerings when picking a community to live in. Offerings such as ours give families yet another reason to pick our city to live in. More residents means better funded community programs, which in turn creates better athletes.

Describe the organization’s target beneficiaries (e.g., seniors, youth, families, veterans, etc.) Families with children aged 6‐14 that want to participate in community sports.

COVID‐19 Impact
Describe the impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization’s programs/activities (e.g., increase/decrease in demand for services, program modifications due to social distancing, new programming to serve those impacted, limited operations, etc.) As a community sport league we could not perform our main function of teaching groups of people in person. Unfortunately you cannot run a football league remotely. So our entire business was stopped, we were unable to bring in revenue through enrollments.

Describe the impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization’s finances (e.g., increased or new expenses, reduced/cancelled fundraising, loss of earnings, decline in revenue, etc.) Finances were severely impacted, we could not earn revenue. Money had already been spent for the season that was unable to be refunded. Fundraising was cancelled since most places didn't know how to respond to COVID.

Describe any other impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization (e.g., staffing changes, volunteer impacts, periods of closure, mitigation efforts to contain the spread of COVID‐19, etc.) Due to not having a football season to plan for the business stagnated and fell into decline a bit. Volunteers were always difficult to get, but due to lower than usual enrollment numbers after the restrictions were lifted it was very difficult to recover personnel that was lost. It's 2023 and I' m  just able to reform our board. We had to shut down operations entirely to help prevent the spread of COVID, which meant closing enrollments and camps.

ITEM 9.3.

ATTACHMENT 2

3 What steps has the organization taken to address financial impacts of COVID‐19? The organization is able to spend less while no revenue comes in. However, the organization cannot operate without income indefinitely, there are still administrative costs to keep business going.

How has the organization become more resilient in light of the pandemic? Since the pandemic it seems that the economy had recovered a bit. We've found new sponsors and fundraising opportunities. We are taking advantage of all of the grants for recovery where they pop up. Many businesses offer discounts to non‐profit organizations especially in the wake of COVID. We have goals to build up financ es to help us better endure hardships like this. We have helped other organizations to establish themselves a bit and they have offered us benefits of assisting them that make it cheaper and easier to do business.

What is the organization's total operating budget?

Describe the organization’s target beneficiaries (e.g., seniors, youth, families, veterans, etc.) Infants, School Age Children, Adults with disabilities and their Family Members.

COVID‐19 Impact
Describe the impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization’s programs/activities (e.g., increase/decrease in demand for services, program modifications due to social distancing, new programming to serve those impacted, limited operations, etc.) COVID‐19 reduced all service lines by presenting obstacles to in‐person therapy, adult activities and work availability. As a result, therapy cancellations, adults confined to homes/residential care facilities reduced revenue generating fee‐for‐service activities.

Every new variant created real and imagined threats that confined people served into homes; moreover, public healt h  agency proclamations and directives confused both providers and participants into inaction. The recent strain and accompanying RSV, Seasonal Flu and Colds further exacerbated the condition causing some schools to close, parents to shutter medically fragile infants, and adults to remain secluded from both Adult Day Programs and Work Opportunities. Current Directi ves are both contradictory and service prohibitive as in‐person adults programs are required to maintain social distancing standards severely limiting interactive opportunities in facilities while Infant Programs are not subject to such limitations. PPE and other measures are likewise confusing and contradictory across program lines Remote Tele‐Services are bein g  utilized but represents a far less effective means to deliver programs as access to technology, family participation, hands‐on therapy was greatly diminished. As Adult Day Programs were ordered to re‐open, the Transportation Companies typically charged too move clients from their residence or care homes had ceased operations du e to inadequate funding, lack of clients and closed services; subsequently, re‐opened programs continue to have issues transporting eligible and willing clients to facilities.

Describe the impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization’s finances (e.g., increased or new expenses, reduced/cancelled fundraising, loss of earnings, decline in revenue, etc.) Earnings decline resulting from appointment cancellations, staff and/or client positive tests, contradictory directives are evident. In FY 2021‐2022, the Affiliate experienced a revenue to budget shortfall in Adult Services by $216K; Pediatrics by $325K and Enterprises (Work and Career Development) by $42K.

Describe any other impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization (e.g., staffing changes, volunteer impacts, periods of closure, mitigation efforts to contain the spread of COVID‐19, etc.) Pandemic Impact on staffing has been significant. Pediatric Staff positive tests contributed to protracted cancellations during the mandated quarantine period; Adult Services in both Day Programs and Enterprises were hampered by staffing shortages as requirements governing staff to client ratios were unachievable; staff shortages were further exacerbated by government incentivized subsidies encour aging  potential employees to remain unemployed.

3 What steps has the organization taken to address financial impacts of COVID‐19? Maximized billing efficiencies through remote services, Enterprises contract contraction to restricted geographic areas, and broadening payor sources for Pediatrics. Adult Programs hampered by transportation issues noted previously and contradictory government agency directives have encouraged remote activity through inventive, imaginative and creative exercises; Enterprises did not rebid/renew contracts in remote areas as a means to concentrat e services to the immediate areas surrounding the Rancho Cordova headquarters to mitigate transportation challenges for both clients and equipment; Pediatrics sought scheduled contract rates with outpatient medical groups to broaden reimbursement opportunities and Kaiser Permanente responded with a favorable reimbursement ‐ other groups such as Dignity Health, Sutter, UC Davis ar e being likewise courted for similar fee‐for‐services.

How has the organization become more resilient in light of the pandemic? Easter Seals Superior California boasts a dedicated, diverse, ethically entrepreneurial management team and supportive Board of Directors that exceeds resilience and is confident that the Affiliate will be a stronger community servant as a result of the pandemic experience. The Board of Directors supervised and executed a perfectly timed property sale benefitin g  from an advantageous market environment that netted a return offering significant security against unforeseen future issues ‐ similar to conditions wrought by the pandemic. The sale proceeds will ensure services remain intact during the current period with funding available for opportunities should prospective situations arise. Staff successfully received PPP 1, PPP 2 and ERC disbursements; the PPP 1 an d 2 loans were converted to grants by the SBA; Enterprises was recently awarded a Janitorial Contract with the City of Rancho Cordova fitting the current operational plan to localize services.

What is the organization's total operating budget?
In FY 2021‐2022, total Revenues tallied $13M.

Describe the services the organization provides to Rancho Cordova residents.

The CCC has been the catalyst for community interactions and special events since its inception in 1959. Today, the CCC is the recognized leader of special event presentation for the City, providing a wide array of memorable activities designed to touch all sectors of the community over the course of the year. In a ddition,  CCC convenes affinity groups to encourage organized and well‐ coordinated activities which advance common interests. These include the Rancho Cordova Athletic Association (youth sports leagues), Rancho Cordova Arts Council (music, visual and performing arts organizations), and Rancho Cordova Interfaith Council (church and faith organizations). Through careful coordination of these seemingly disparate pu rposes, Rancho Cordova has achieved a rare, high level of community cooperation and connection that has become the envy of the region. CCC special events range from small to extra large and are well‐known throughout the community. Signature events include Community Volunteer Awards, Kids Day in th e  Park, iFest International Festival, Moonlight Movies, Rancho Cordova Fourth of July, Friday Night Concerts, State of the City and Community Christmas Tree Lighting. Other events, such as Memorial Day and Veterans Day observances, the Rancho Cordova Luncheon and the organization’s annual Heartstoppers Haunted House are all part of the mix. CCC provides s ignificant funding and leadership to the Rancho Cordova River City Concert Band, the Symphony d’Oro and Rancho Cordova Arts to assure stability and wide access to the arts to the community. Finally, CCC provides a ready skillset for special activities upon which the City frequently calls. Examples are the 2 010  and 2019 successful entries for the National League of Cities All‐America City award competitions, and elaborate anniversary celebrations for the 10th and 20th incorporation milestones.

Describe the organization’s target beneficiaries (e.g., seniors, youth, families, veterans, etc.) The Cordova Community Council does not limit its services to any beneficiary targets; rather, we design events and programs that cover all groups in the city. Sometimes there is overlap, but by focusing on various groups for service within our menu of events, targets do come in for special treatment as we work thro ugh the calendar. For example, while everyone can enjoy Kids Day in the Park, it is designed with families with children under the age of 12 in mind. Our iFest International Festival is a celebration that is enjoyed by all, but it does carve out special opportunities for newcomer g roups in the community to share their native culture.

Together, our broad offerings create the mosaic that is Rancho Cordova.

COVID‐19 Impact
Describe the impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization’s programs/activities (e.g., increase/decrease in demand for services, program modifications due to social distancing, new programming to serve those impacted, limited operations, etc.) We are proud of the many adjustments made in response to COVID‐19, and we are especially gratified by the assistance CCC was able to provide to affiliates during this historic public health emergency. Financial impacts were greatest in 2020, when virtually all ITEM 9.3.

3 events were canceled. This included unrecoverable costs incurred with the cancelation of events, including a six‐figure loos at the Rancho Cordova Fourth of July; refunding of sponsorship commitments due to event cancelation; inability to raise sponsorship funds due to program cancelations; cancelation of fundraising events (Rancho Cordova Community Golf Classic 2 020  and 2021; Heartstoppers Haunted House 2020); loss of ticket revenue for events such as the Volunteer Awards 2020, Rancho Cordova Fourth of July 2020, and others. In a quest to provide COVID‐safe alternatives, the CCC inaugurated a drive‐in concert series at the Mine Shaft property in 2020; converted Ki ds Day in the Park to a Drive‐Through Safari at the Mine Shaft property in 2021; provided support to other non‐profits at little or no cost at the Mine Shaft property (Sacramento Valley Spark Arts Drive‐Throughs in 2020 and 2021, Sacramento Region Relay for Life; and outdoor rehe arsal  space for the Rancho Cordova River City Concert Band). A three‐year funding commitment was made to launch the Rancho Cordova Holiday Lights Drive‐Through Experience to provide affordable holiday entertainment for families quarantined by the pandemic. CCC provided Zoom meeting support to member organizations and guided the Rancho Cordova Li ttle  League and Cordova Girls Softball through an innovative funding response to keep these important community assets alive through the crisis. We are proud to say that all of our efforts brought us through the pandemic to a place where today community members are once again enjoying all of these ben efits  of living in the City of Rancho Cordova.

Describe the impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization’s finances (e.g., increased or new expenses, reduced/cancelled fundraising, loss of earnings, decline in revenue, etc.) In 2020, sponsorship funding for the Cordova Community Council declined from $125,000 in 2019 to $85,000 in 2020. A strong sponsorship rally on behalf of the Holiday Lights Drive‐Through provided surprising relief for what was anticipated to be an even greater loss. While cancellation of events created losses throughout the year, no ne  was more devastating as the losses incurred at the 2020 Rancho Cordova Fourth of July. While gallantly attempting a drive‐in fireworks show for residents in 2020, the event was canceled just two days before presentation in consultation with the City Manager, Mayor and Rancho Cordova Police Department after Gov. New som called upon all providers in the state to cancel community fireworks gatherings. The hard cost losses of this cancelation totaled $61,824 – the majority for late cancelation of the fireworks contract. The loss of 2020 revenue from ticket sales, onsite sales and vendor fees is an additional $104,000 (2 019  actual) for an overall impact of $165,824. The annual losses to the Cordova Community Council due to the cancellation of the Rancho Cordova Community Golf Classic in 2020 and 2021 totaled $30,000. The loss incurred by the Cordova Community Council due to cancellation of the Heartstoppers Haunted House in 2020 is estimated at $1
27,000 (2019 actual), offset by $28,000 produced by a drive‐through substitute, for an overall loss of $99,000. Added together, these examples of losses directly attributable to COVID‐19 total $328,000 and while not all inclusive, draws a picture of the unrecoverable impacts on our organization produced by the pan demic.  We are grateful to have received a $10,000 COVID Recovery Grant from the City of Rancho Cordova in 2022, which we applied to our depleted Fourth of July budget.

Describe any other impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization (e.g., staffing changes, volunteer impacts, periods of closure, mitigation efforts to contain the spread of COVID‐19, etc.) With the assistance of SBA Paycheck Protection loans, the CCC was able to maintain staffing, which enabled us to provide the various substitute services and activities described above. However, even in 2023, the organization is continuing to recover from impacts more difficult to quantify, such as the permanent loss of many volunteers, longtime vendors an d providers and more. These losses have increased the need for paid providers ‐‐ if we can find them. While attendance at events has bounced back, the rebuilding of sponsorship relationships and development of a new volunteer corps will take time and investment which at this time is difficult to quantif y. Rancho Cordova is a growing community, and as demand increases, the cost of our free events increase.

What steps has the organization taken to address financial impacts of COVID‐19? CCC has taken numerous steps to address the financial impacts of COVID‐19. We have completed a top to bottom scrub of all our events to eliminate extra costs without impacting general quality of our events and redesigned events to be more pandemic and weather‐proof. Examples include shortening daily open hou rs  of the Rancho Cordova Fourth of July festival to reduce the need for volunteers and costs of some attractions. Another example is the shift to all 20 x 20 tents to virtually cover all activities at the Community Christmas Tree Lighting. We believe these changes make our outdoor events more resilient to a fut ure health emergency or weather impacts while maintaining high quality. We have also maintained the knowledge and supplies needed to pivot to outdoor drive‐through events should circumstances warrant, making our considerable investment in traffic control and outdoor‐ready infrastructure (such as the 200‐plus fixtures used for the Holiday Lights Drive‐Through) a goo d investment. The pandemic pushed us to move to online ticketing for the Fourth of July, which we believe is providing additional safety and income at our entry gates in the post‐pandemic era. We enacted an across‐the‐board ticket price hike where applicable in 20 22. We believe the well‐documented actions taken by the MACC to keep the arts lamplight burning through the pandemic was exceptional. Those actions included online gallery tours, concert performances and more, and the MACC is now seasoned in how to produce arts benefits for the community in the fa ce  of shutdowns triggered by any reason.

How has the organization become more resilient in light of the pandemic? The pandemic taught us many lessons in resilience which we continue to perfect. Some have become central to the way we do business, such as the use of Zoom/Microsoft Teams to continue engagement of members and affiliates and online ticketing changes ITEM 9.3.

4 described above. The pandemic inspired the CCC to look for ways to retain the Mine Shaft property for uses not before considered to be important – who knew what an asset the ocean of parking would be? That has led to more expansive thinking about how that wonderful community asset should be pre served  and developed to become not just a port in a storm, but an important community amenity. We continue to develop our strong online presence because we watched our newsletter impact grow during the pandemic.

Finally, we are dedicated to restoring the comfortable reserve we had been developing to see th e  CCC through lean times. There were many lessons learned from the pandemic but having survived and come out on the other side, we believe we have much to share with other non‐profits. We do this at every opportunity, including service on the boards of directors of other important organizatio
ns such as the Rancho Cordova Food Locker, Cordova High School MACH and California Capital Airshow.

What is the organization's total operating budget?

501(c)(3) History
Children’s Choice for Hearing and Talking Sacramento (CCHAT) received its own 501(c)(3) designation on July 15, 2014. Prior to this date, CCHAT worked under the Foundation for Hearing Research, Inc. (FHR) 501(c)(3) designation and FHR had fiscal responsibility for our organization.

Foundation for Hearing Research, Inc. was founded in 1967 when eight families organized an auditory/oral program for their profoundly deaf children. The 501(c)(3) was acquired in 1973 under the name Foundation for Hearing Research, Inc. The program grew, hired teachers of the deaf and was given the name Peninsula Oral School for the Deaf (POSD). The name Jean Weingarten was added in 1989 (JWPOSD). The sole purpose of the Foundation for Hearing Research, Inc., at that time, was to give guidance and support to JWPOSD. FHR later became the umbrella and guiding organization for the CCHAT Center-Sacramento.

2 Mission Statement
The Rancho Cordova Chamber of Commerce Foundation is an independent but closely aligned, charitable affiliate of the Rancho Cordova Chamber of Commerce dedicated to developing a prosperous Rancho Cordova business community. Education enrichment, leadership development, economic progress, and community betterment/viability are the cornerstone components of our mission.

Geographic Area(s) Served
City of Rancho Cordova
Number of residents of Rancho Cordova served annually?
Specifying how many residents are served annually is difficult as this is a leadership development program. From one perspective, thousands of residents are impacted through LRC graduates serving.

Number of residents outside of Rancho Cordova served annually? A participation requirement is that applicants must live or work within the Rancho Cordova Planning Area. All consider themselves emerging community leaders. We have had over 300 graduates to date.

Tax Exemption Status
501(c)(3)
Is the organization registered and in good standing ("active" status) with the California Secretary of State? (https://bizfileonline.sos.ca.gov/search/business)
Yes
Are any of the organization's staff or Board members immediate family members of one or more elected/appointed officials of the City of Rancho Cordova? If yes, please explain.

No
Describe the services the organization provides to Rancho Cordova residents.

The Foundation is responsible for developing, implementing, and administering Leadership Rancho Cordova (LRC). LRC's mission is to develop community leaders, activists, visionaries, and advocates dedicated to Rancho Cordova through all levels of community engagement. Leadership Rancho Cordova is a program for and about Rancho Cordova. Through modules explicitly designed to reflect ou r  community, LRC participants learn about our history and culture, the development of strong neighborhoods, public safety, the role of local government, community and economic development, and more. Additionally, current events and local issues are woven into the program. The objective is a well‐rounded and detailed understanding of how better to meet the needs of our communit
y and residents.

Describe the organization’s target beneficiaries (e.g., seniors, youth, families, veterans, etc.) LRC participants live or work within the Rancho Cordova Planning Area and consider themselves emerging community leaders. They have a commitment to serve and a desire to share their skills with community organizations and entities. Participants represent a wide range of backgrounds and professions, such as business, government, education, and non‐profit organizatio ns. Beneficiaries are organizations represented by the participants and our community‐based organizations in developing and training prepared and engaged leaders. Participants take the knowledge, skills, relationships and apply them to serve our community better today and tomorrow. The program has trained over 300 individuals for service to Rancho Cordova.

COVID‐19 Impact
Describe the impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization’s programs/activities (e.g., increase/decrease in demand for services, program modifications due to social distancing, new programming to serve those impacted, limited operations, etc.) The pandemic impacted three years of Leadership Rancho Cordova classes. Class 14 was required to complete the second half of their program under COVID non‐gathering protocols. The modules were presented virtually, including a very successful graduation wherein graduates celebrated their accomplishments and near completion of their project in the comfort of th eir  homes via zoom.

The 2020‐2021 Program‐after much debate and creative brainstorming, the leadership of LRC determined participants would not receive the quality of programming they deserved or that we would be able to provide. The program did not occur from September of 2020 through June of 2021. Class 15 (2 021‐2022)‐We determined that we would move forward with Class XV but with revised priorities. the class was reduced to only 15 participants, social distancing and masking protocols are carefully followed, engagement outside of the programs is encouraged to be virtual, and developing a project creates a u nique  set of challenges that other classes did not have to face.

ITEM 9.3.

ATTACHMENT 2

3 Describe the impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization’s finances (e.g., increased or new expenses, reduced/cancelled fundraising, loss of earnings, decline in revenue, etc.) Leadership Rancho Cordova depends on rollover funding to maintain the program. We also depend on a full class contingent of at least 22, preferably 22‐24, students to cover the annual cost of each program. The Chamber receives a small fee to offset the time and resources dedicated to managing and leading the pr ogram. Expenses have increased as space rates remain the same, but costs are spread among fewer participants due to social distancing requirements. The LRC alumni fundraiser did not occur in 2020, 2021 or 2022. A portion of monies raised provides scholarship and program offsets. We estimate the financial impact of the COVID‐19 health emer
gency to exceed $21,000.

Describe any other impact the COVID‐19 public health emergency has had on the organization (e.g., staffing changes, volunteer impacts, periods of closure, mitigation efforts to contain the spread of COVID‐19, etc.) The Continuity of LRC has been impacted. Leadership Rancho Cordova is a well‐respected and successful program, and it is critical that, when adaptions were required, the quality remains the same. As a result, many hours have been spent revising and modifying each module. Much of this work has been done by cham ber  staff using personal time. If monetized, the cost of time spent on revising the program would be approximately $1,200.

What steps has the organization taken to address financial impacts of COVID‐19? Rancho Cordova Chamber staff administer the program, including recruitment, retreat organization, securing module sites and speakers, communication with student and module leaders, program facilitation at each module, on‐site administrative support, and fundraising. The Chamber did not request fees for these services between 2019 and 2022. The Chamber has not charged the program fo
r hard costs such as printing, binders and other supplies. We have successfully grown in‐kind support for meals and module sites.

How has the organization become more resilient in light of the pandemic? Leadership Rancho Cordova has been able to adapt to change in a short period. Such as class 15 started in September of 2021, and in January 2022, we had to go virtually for two modules due to COVID increased cases in Sacramento County. We make sure that we have protocols in pla ce  to react and make sure that our participants are safe.

What is the organization's total operating budget?
In a typical year of 25 participants, our operating budget is $24,375.
