Background of the Rancho Cordova Film O8ice
The Rancho Cordova Film O3ice was established in 2000 with the goal of developing the city as a recognized filming destination in California.

Since its formation, the o3ice has built a professional infrastructure comparable to many established film o3ices across the state. This includes a fully developed website, a growing library of filming locations, and established relationships with production professionals and state film organizations.

Over the years, the o3ice has hosted numerous producers, production companies, and location managers who were exploring filming opportunities in Rancho Cordova or the greater Sacramento region.

Through these e3orts, Rancho Cordova has earned recognition as a film-friendly city that welcomes production and supports filmmakers.

The o3ice has faced several industry-wide challenges in recent years, including the COVID19 pandemic, the SAG-AFTRA strike, and the Writers Guild strike, all of which significantly slowed film and television production nationwide. In addition, California has recently experienced a broader downturn in filming activity, which has been widely documented within the industry.

Despite these challenges, the Rancho Cordova Film O3ice remains a viable and fully operational program. With its infrastructure already in place and strong industry relationships established, the o3ice is well positioned to attract new productions as filming activity rebounds in California.

Continued support for the program will ensure that Rancho Cordova remains competitive in attracting film projects and capturing the economic and promotional benefits they bring to the community.

Economic Impact and Community Benefits
The Rancho Cordova Film O3ice plays an important role in generating economic activity and increasing regional visibility for the City of Rancho Cordova.

When film, television, and commercial productions choose to film in a city, they bring direct spending into the local economy. Production crews often require hotel accommodations, catering services, equipment rentals, transportation, and other logistical support. Local restaurants, retail businesses, and service providers also benefit from the presence of film crews working in the community.

ITEM 19.1. ATTACHMENT 3

Page 297 of 2125 ends

By actively promoting Rancho Cordova as a filming destination and facilitating production logistics, the Film O3ice helps ensure that these economic opportunities are captured locally. Even small productions can bring meaningful short-term economic activity, while larger productions can have a significant financial impact over the course of several days or weeks of filming.

In addition to economic benefits, film production also provides promotional value for the city. When Rancho Cordova appears in films, commercials, or digital media content, it increases public awareness of the community and showcases its locations to broader audiences. This exposure can support tourism, business development, and civic pride.

The Film O3ice also strengthens connections between the entertainment industry and the local community by promoting opportunities for local crew members, students, and creative professionals to participate in film production. Through partnerships with California State University, Sacramento, the program provides practical experience opportunities for film students through internships and industry engagement.

By maintaining a professional film o3ice infrastructure, Rancho Cordova remains competitive with other cities that are actively pursuing film and television production.

Continued support for the program ensures that the city is well positioned to capture both the economic and promotional benefits that accompany media production.

Program Sustainability and Future Outlook
The Rancho Cordova Film O3ice has already established the infrastructure, industry relationships, and promotional tools necessary to attract film and media production to the city. While the film industry has experienced temporary slowdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic and recent labor strikes, there are strong indications that production activity in California will rebound as these issues stabilize.

Because Rancho Cordova has already invested in building a professional and fully operational film o3ice—including a comprehensive website, an extensive locations database, and established relationships with production professionals and the California Film Commission—the city is well positioned to benefit when production levels increase.

Continued support for the Rancho Cordova Film O3ice ensures that the city remains visible and competitive in attracting film, television, and commercial productions. Maintaining this program protects the investment already made in building the Film O3ice infrastructure and positions Rancho Cordova to capture future economic opportunities and industry attention as filming activity returns to California.

Thank you for your interest in applying to the City of Rancho Cordova's Community Enhancement & Investment Fund. Applications are open from February 9, 2026, to March 13, 2026, Noon (12:00 p.m.) with a specific deadline of March 6th Noon (12:00 p.m.) for certain applications**. Before you begin, please read the notes about deadlines and certain types of grant applications/grants below. **School/Park Application Deadline **Note that projects or programs involving a park or school district have a deadline of March 6 Noon (12:00 p.m.) to allow for the third-party endorsement process by the grant deadline.** A Note about Religious Schools and the Application/Grant Process **Note for grant applications from religious schools. The United States Supreme Court has recently ruled in part that:
“denying a generally available benefit [from government] solely on account of religious identity imposes a penalty on the free exercise of religion that can be justified only by a state interest of the highest order.” The City is of the opinion that not all grants to religious schools are prohibited under this and other similar rulings. However, these United States Supreme Court decisions remain in conflict with a section of the California State Constitution that says: “[n]either the Legislature, nor any county, city and county, township, school district, or other municipal corporation, shall ever make an appropriation, or pay from any public fund whatever, or grant anything to or in aid of any religious sect, church, creed, or sectarian purpose, or help to support or sustain any school, college, university, hospital, or other institution controlled by any religious creed, church, or sectarian denomination whatever; nor shall any grant or donation of personal property or real estate ever be made by the state, or any city, city and county, town, or other municipal corporation for any religious creed, church, or sectarian purpose whatever”. The City will accept applications for grants of these City public funds from religious schools, but will have language in the grant agreements to address the possibility and consequences of legal challenges and new court decisions on this and related topics. ** Future Grant Opportunities If you are interested in remaining up-to-date on available grants from the City of Rancho Cordova, click here to sign up for the Grants Interest List.

Synopsis
This project will extend the existing school mural along an adjoining wall visible from the street, creating a larger and more cohesive public artwork.

The project will enhance the neighborhood’s visual landscape and support the city’s goal of promoting arts and culture in public spaces.

Provide a
Project/Program
Description
This project will extend an existing mural located on the front-facing exterior wall of the school, which is highly visible to the surrounding neighborhood and to individuals traveling along the adjacent street. The current mural, originally funded through the City Community Enhancement grant, runs along a portion of the building that faces parallel to the street and has become a positive and recognizable visual feature for the community. This proposal will expand the mural onto an adjoining wall that turns perpendicular to the street, creating a more complete and cohesive public artwork that enhances the overall visual impact of the installation.

To maintain artistic continuity and preserve the visual integrity of the original design, the project will hire the same local artist who designed and painted the original mural. This approach ensures that the extension will blend seamlessly with the existing artwork while expanding the mural’s reach and storytelling potential. The extended mural will build upon the themes and aesthetic established in the original work, creating a unified piece that is more visible from multiple directions along the street.

Hiring the original artist also supports local arts and cultural professionals while ensuring the highest quality outcome for the project. Maintaining the same artistic voice allows the expanded mural to remain cohesive in style, color palette, and thematic elements. This continuity preserves the integrity of the original artwork while allowing it to grow into a more impactful and meaningful installation.

Because the school is located within a residential neighborhood, the mural serves as a highly accessible form of public art for community members who pass by daily. The extension of the mural will transform an otherwise blank exterior wall into a vibrant and engaging visual landmark. Public art installations such as murals contribute to a stronger sense of place, making neighborhoods feel more welcoming, culturally rich, and visually interesting.

By extending the mural, this project will further enhance the aesthetic ITEM 19.1. ATTACHMENT 3

Page 301 of 2125 ends

quality of the surrounding area and reinforce the school as a positive community presence.

In addition to beautifying the area, the mural contributes to community pride and connection. Schools often serve as central gathering points within neighborhoods, and the presence of public art helps reinforce the school as a welcoming and creative environment. The mural extension will further strengthen the relationship between the school and the broader community by providing a shared visual asset that reflects the value placed on creativity, culture, and community identity.

The extended mural will remain a long-term community asset. Unlike temporary programming, a mural provides lasting benefits for years to come by continuously enhancing the visual environment and promoting appreciation for public art. The location of the mural along a highly visible exterior wall ensures that it will continue to serve residents, students, and visitors as a source of inspiration and neighborhood pride.

Overall, this project represents a thoughtful and cost-effective way to expand an already successful public art initiative. By extending the existing mural with the same artist, the project will enhance the neighborhood’s visual character, support local arts and culture, and contribute to the City’s broader goals of community enrichment and cultural vibrancy.

Goals
The primary goal of this project is to expand the existing school mural to create a larger, cohesive public art installation that enhances the visual landscape of the neighborhood and increases access to public art for the community. By extending the mural onto an adjoining exterior wall visible from the street, the project will transform an additional blank space into a vibrant cultural asset that can be enjoyed by students, families, neighbors, and visitors.

A second goal is to strengthen the school’s role as a welcoming community landmark. Because the mural faces a public street in a residential neighborhood, the expanded artwork will contribute to neighborhood pride and reinforce the presence of arts and culture within the community.

Progress toward these goals will be measured through several clear metrics.

The first metric is successful project completion, defined as the design, preparation, and painting of the mural extension within the proposed project timeline and budget.

A second metric is increased public art visibility, demonstrated by the completion of the mural extension along the additional wall surface, increasing the overall scale and street visibility of the artwork.

A third metric is community engagement and awareness, which will be supported through communication with the school community and neighborhood about the mural project and its completion.

To ensure the project remains focused and efficiently managed, the project team will work closely with the original mural artist to establish a clear timeline for design, preparation, and installation. The team will monitor progress through key milestones, including finalization of the mural extension design, site preparation, painting, and project completion.

Regular communication between the project team and the artist will help ensure the work remains aligned with the original mural’s artistic vision and with the goals of enhancing the community through public art.

By maintaining clear goals, defined milestones, and regular coordination with the artist, the project team will ensure that the mural extension is completed successfully and continues to serve as a lasting artistic and cultural asset for the community.

Project/Program
Synopsis
Acquire lighting equipment for use on traditional performance stages, and offer a workshop with national caliber theater lighting professional, to inspire Rancho Cordova youth interested in technical theater and enhance the experience of those who attend shows at the Mine Shaft in Rancho Cordova, including our signature event, Heartstoppers Haunts.

Provide a
Project/Program
Description
Background: Theater Education 4 Theater Nerds (TE4TN) is a Rancho Cordova-based 501(c)(3) community benefit theatrical education organization. Having produced its signature theatrical fundraiser, Heartstoppers Haunts, in and around Rancho since 2010, TE4TN achieved tax-exempt status in 2018, and the Heartstoppers event has only grown every year since with approximately 14,000 people attending its performances at the Mine Shaft in October 2025. A major aspect of that event, and the secret to TE4TN’s success, is our community volunteer and theater education programs, which operate year-round in the Mine Shaft facility.

For young people interested in the ‘behind the scenes’ aspects of theater production there are limited opportunities to learn the advanced techniques and practice skills necessary for a high-quality theatrical production.

Theater Education 4 Theater Nerds is one of the only theater organizations in the region that offers community members of any age - but especially youth - the opportunity to learn about technical theater (lights, sound, animatronics, special effects) and stage craft (costumes, scenery, props, makeup.) Most high school and childrens' community theater programs focus on the performing arts, and don't have opportunities for students to operate equipment, much less learn design, engineer tech scenarios or craft scenery.

For theatrical lighting specifically, while TE4TN has offered skills training around lighting equipment over the many years of Heartstoppers’ events, none of that equipment is designed to be used on traditional thrust stages, as that is not the type of productions TE4TN has done in the past.

However, in Spring 2025, TE4TN produced its first non-Heartstoppers related play at the Mine Shaft: a traditionally staged premiere of “She Has A Ticket To Ride,” a dark comedy that was well received by the Rancho ITEM 19.1. ATTACHMENT 3

Page 316 of 2125 ends

community. What that production made plain was the need for different lighting equipment in order to maintain the high production quality for which TE4TN has become known.

Grant Project Scope: In order to increase the capacity of the Mine Shaft facility for more theatrical productions, and to offer the best possible learning experience, TE4TN requires theatrical lighting equipment designed for traditional stages with which to teach and continue to expand its theatrical offerings to the Rancho Cordova community. TE4TN’s portion of the proceeds from the Heartstoppers event provides its annual education program budget and the seed money to build the next year’s fundraising event.There are no excess funds to purchase the necessary equipment all at once to ensure compatibility and training efficiency. To provide maximum usability in both production and training environments, the equipment needs to be mobile, weather-resistant (e.g. Theater in the Park,) recent technology, allow for design flexibility and a wide variety of infrastructure resources, as well as compatibility with TE4TN's existing light program boards and other equipment to leverage CEIF dollars.

Equipment: The equipment to be purchased includes two telescoping light poles with integrated stabilizing bases that can work at heights between 12 and 18 feet, allowing for both intimate indoor productions as well as larger outdoor stagings. The cross trusses are removable for maximum storage options. Blizzard TOUGHPAR Neo light units will serve as key front/defined color splashes, and the Blizzard Wash lights will keep symmetry with design and color output even at 100 feet distance to allow for maximum design flexibility, thus giving TE4TN students and partnering community groups a full-range of creative options. In addition, the package includes NewFeel 380W moving heads to provide high-intensity dynamic spot lighting. These powerful lights can be programmed to move on cue or follow the stage action, and they can also be used via manual remote control. The equipment wish list includes all of the cabling and power supplies needed, and all units are DMX controllable and power-linkable for a fully integrated – and interchangeable – system that is suitable for indoor and outdoor events. The project includes the purchase of specialized storage containers to maximize secure storage space at the Mine Shaft (when it’s not being used) and transportation safety for the equipment as it moves to its next use.

Project/Program
Team
TE4TN President/Executive Director – Joel Watson: The original “theater nerd,” Joel started out in his high school’s theater program because he wanted to learn how to make cool effects with lights.

Combining his love of all things Halloween with theater tech and the detailed décor he grew up admiring at Disneyland, was a natural evolution.

After years of progressively complex and popular home haunts, Joel opened his first professional haunted theatrical production in 2007, “Heartstoppers Haunted House.”

In addition to the valuable work our dedicated volunteers will do on behalf of the Kick Off workshop and the training of interested community members on the use and care of the equipment, TE4TN has budgeted for its employees to inspect and manage the equipment and the training program, as well as purchasing the containers to securely store the equipment at the Mine Shaft when not in use. Funding and sponsorships are also being sought to pay for additional industry expert workshop presenters and mentors in the areas of light board programming and operation, lighting design, and scenery projection to enhance the education offered around the requested equipment. These workshops are in addition to the 2026-27 planned educational classes on such topics as stage makeup, crafting props, set building, sound effects, etc., for which TE4TN’s part of the Heartstoppers’ revenues are used. It is hoped that the cumulative effects of this thorough education approach will help increase awareness around the performing arts in Rancho Cordova, encourage volunteerism for our artistic organizations, and raise the production levels of theater events locally.

Based on the operating life-span of TE4TN’s inventory of other theatrical equipment, thanks to TE4TN’s volunteers’ careful use and maintenance, it is anticipated that the light fixtures and cabling will have a five-year operating life after which they will need to be replaced or repaired. The stands and trusses will probably be functional for 10 years. TE4TN’s long term plan is to both secure future equipment grant funding and expand budgetary commitments to TE4TN’s ‘reserve for replacement’ account, so that it is fully funded and future equipment replacements and upgrades can be accomplished timely.

Challenge 1 – most of this equipment is imported and the current tariff environment could change thereby increasing costs beyond the budget. If that becomes the case, there are a few solutions – not the least of which is a combination of all of them: a.) if we think the prices will go down in the near term (30-60 days,) we just wait to make our purchases; b.) buy fewer pieces or different brands so long as the objective of a workable lighting system is achieved; c.) depending on revenues from the 2026 Heartstoppers event, TE4TN could contribute a few more dollars to make up the difference if it doesn’t jeopardize the build budget for the 2027 event and/or the ongoing educational program objectives for the 2027 fiscal year.

Challenge 2 – Unable to secure space or desired caliber of speaker for kickoff event at desired time; Solutions are to try other venues, move the date, try other contacts or some combination of the three.

How many individuals
does your
project/program
serve?
The kick-off workshops and the rest of the lighting workshop series could reach over 200 individuals, while the hands-on advanced training will be limited in 2027 to six senior students (more in subsequent years); the impact of improved theatrical lighting for the benefit of audiences in 2027 alone is potentially over 1,000 people.

How many Rancho
Cordova residents
does your
project/program
serve?
While it is the intention of the program to market all events to residents of Rancho Cordova first, with preferences for Rancho students, etc., ultimately the objective is to reach as many people as possible for the workshops and to sell tickets to performances to support ongoing programming. Based on the volunteer participation in the Heartstoppers fundraising event, we would expect approximately 40 percent of the program participation numbers noted above to be from Rancho Cordova.

Heartstoppers Haunts attracts patrons from all over Northern California (and a few from Southern California,) but the Showcase and Hummingbird Theater’s performances will only pull from the greater Sacramento area, including Rancho Cordova.

TE4TN’s dedicated volunteers are all theater lovers and many are members of Rancho Cordova’s community. It is anticipated that at least ten of our volunteer group will assist with the Kick Off workshop by doing community promotions, outreach to schools in Rancho to encourage them to come to the schools-only Friday session with the workshop presenter, and to assist at the Saturday workshop itself, with set up/take down, directing students, distributing materials, etc.

The estimates for this level of engagement are 10 persons over many days, totaling approx. 150 hours. Later in the 2026-27 term, volunteer educators will be working with our technical theater students to teach them how to use the new equipment and those estimates are five individuals putting in eight hours each to ensure the equipment is used correctly and safely.

Community Enhancement & Investment Fund Grant Program
Rancho Cordova, CA
Dear CEIF Team:

On behalf of the Cordova Community Council (CCC), I am delighted to endorse and strongly urge approval of Theater Education for Theater Nerds (TE4TN)’s application to purchase theatrical lighting equipment to enhance community performances in Rancho Cordova.

CCC has proudly partnered with TE4TN since 2013, as they created and built Heartstoppers Haunted House, now the Sacramento region’s leading Halloween haunt attraction. Through this signature event, TE4TN has cultivated a powerful sense of belonging for hundreds of youth and adult volunteers while helping establish Rancho Cordova as a true Halloween-season destination. Each year, more than 14,000 visitors experience Heartstoppers, with ticket revenue supporting the charitable missions of both TE4TN and the Cordova Community Council.

Beyond the annual haunt, TE4TN demonstrates an unwavering commitment to quality and community engagement. They are a fan favorite in the Rancho Cordova Fourth of July Parade and have expanded their presence by participating in our annual “Date Night” volunteer recruitment event. They generously donate complimentary tickets to support local fundraisers and intentionally create space within their volunteer ranks for a broad and diverse community of theater enthusiasts of all ages.

In recent years, TE4TN has expanded its impact even further. They now offer hands-on training classes for aspiring “haunters” and stage artists, covering essential skills such as set construction, costuming, theatrical makeup, and technical production. For the past two years, they have transformed the Mine Shaft property— home to Heartstoppers—into a live theater venue, producing original plays and demonstrating the space's versatility. This year, they are collaborating with Hummingbird Theater to continue expanding performing arts opportunities in our community.

The focus of this grant—upgrading theatrical lighting equipment—represents a critical next step in strengthening the technical capacity of our local performing arts scene. Modern, flexible-use lighting will not only elevate the quality of productions at Heartstoppers and other performances but also provide meaningful skill-building opportunities for youth and adults interested in technical theater. As Rancho Cordova’s performing arts sector continues to grow, access to professional-grade equipment and hands-on training will help cultivate talent, deepen connections, and foster a true sense of belonging.

In support of this effort, the Cordova Community Council has committed space at our Mine Shaft property for skill development, safe storage, and proper use of the requested equipment. We are proud to partner in ITEM 19.1. ATTACHMENT 3

ensuring that these resources are maintained responsibly and leveraged to raise the overall quality of stagecraft in Rancho Cordova. As additional venues are identified and developed in the future, having established performing arts groups and loyal audiences will position our city for continued cultural and economic success.

TE4TN’s dedication to continuous improvement, inclusive participation, and community enrichment makes them an outstanding candidate for support through the Community Enhancement & Investment Fund. We are proud to collaborate with them and enthusiastically support this investment in Rancho Cordova's blossoming performing arts sector.

Sincerely,
Shelly Blanchard

To Whom It May Concern:

My name is Danielle Mercado, and I am the Artistic Director of Hummingbird Theatre Company in Rancho Cordova, CA. We are currently in residence with the Non-profit ‘Theatre Education 4 Theatre Nerds’’ (T.E.4.T.N.) at the Mineshaft Building in Rancho Cordova. We are putting on “Romeo and Juliet (but Pirates)” in May 2026 and have been working with TE4TN as well as the Cordova Community Council Foundation for the last couple of months to begin conceiving and developing this project.

I understand that T.E.4.T.N. is applying for a grant, and I am happy to write this letter in full support of their organization.

While I haven’t known Joel, Lisa or the organization for very long, the Heartstoppers event's reputation speaks for itself. They have shown enormous growth and potential throughout their stay at the Mineshaft Building, building up Heartstoppers year after year in what can only be described as a magnificent feat. They are very well known in Northern California.

The TE4TN team has been very supportive and accommodating as fellow theatre lovers and makers. That initiative speaks volumes about the leadership. They understand that community theatre thrives on support, collaboration, and shared success. The Heartstoppers team puts in an incredible amount of work behind the scenes. From set building and technical design to administration, outreach, acquiring materials, and taking care of actors and creative teams, education in costuming, special effects, engineering, stunts, etc., they are ready to bring even more to the space and use it as a multi-event venue.

This request for lighting would not only allow them to put on more shows throughout the year, it would also allow organizations such as mine to thrive as well. If we pool our resources, we can create a multi-discipline creative arts space that allows us all to reach our full potential, put on incredible shows, and truly benefit the entire City of Rancho Cordova.

I have no doubt that Theatre Education 4 Theatre Nerds would use grant funding responsibly and transparently. The leadership team members are thoughtful, organized, and passionate about bringing quality theatre to our community. The impact of their work extends beyond actors - it also benefits technicians, students, creative teams, families, and audiences throughout the Sacramento region and beyond.

I strongly support Theatre Education 4 Theatre Nerds and am confident in their ability to successfully complete the proposed project. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.

Best Regards,
Danielle Mercado
Hummingbird Theatre Company
Artistic Director

CEIF PROGRAM APPLICATION – TE4TN
ATTACHMENT – PROJECT TEAM (continued)
Joel Watson continued - Over the intervening years, Joel has created a program offering hundreds of young people opportunities to try their hand at theatrical lighting, sound effects and set design – not to mention project management, team work and problem solving – while working on the annual Heartstoppers production, as well as other stagecraft skills and technical topics through monthly theater education workshops. Joel designs all of the educational opportunities and uses his contacts in the technical theater and professional haunt industries to bring presenters for the various workshops, as well as serving as the primary instructor during the Heartstoppers production season.

Cordova Community Council Foundation: CCCF was originally introduced to TE4TN in 2010, when the Heartstoppers haunted theatrical event came to Haggin Park, and then began actively working with the organization in 2013 to more fully integrate TE4TN with the Rancho Cordova community and its high school students. Today, the CCCF assists with location management and is a major financial beneficiary of the large community fundraiser that Heartstoppers has become. As the owner of the Mine Shaft facility where the requested lighting equipment will be used and stored, the CCCF’s mission will also benefit in that the equipment would be available (along with TE4TN-trained advanced tech students) for use with the community concert band and other CCCF supported groups when they come to the facility to rehearse or perform.

TE4TN Board Secretary/CFO – Toan Pham: Mr. Pham is a live performance sound engineer and sound board software developer, who joined the TE4TN board of directors in January 2025, but has ties to Heartstoppers that go way back. He is part of Joel’s circle of fellow theater techies that started out working with theatrical lighting and sound design in the mid 90s. Now as the volunteer CFO for the organization, he is responsible for financial oversight and ensuring that all funds are used according to the budget, grant and sponsor restrictions, and board guidance.

Toan works closely with the organization’s Business Manager who has the day-to-day money management duties.

Description
Project Details
Sacramento Children’s Museum respectfully requests $50,000 in funding support over a two-year period from the City of Rancho Cordova Community Enhancement & Investment Fund (CEIF) to bring a new nationally traveling exhibit called Aim High: Soaring with the Tuskegee Airmen to our Museum in Fall 2027.

This immersive exhibit invites children and their families to explore multiple aspects of aviation, from the rich history of the Tuskegee Airmen to 21st century STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) concepts. Inspired by the tools and tasks related to flying and aeronautics, the interactive experiences mix real artifacts with hands-on play. Visitors of all ages will be able to imagine themselves in the role of aviators, inspired by the past and dream of the future. In this exhibit, visitors can:

Scroll through an interactive slide show featuring historical images of the Tuskegee Airmen and their airplanes.

Dive into aviation history by exploring historical artifacts and information panels on display that highlight the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen and their influence on the future of aviation.

Get an up-close view of the inside of a Cockpit Flight Trainer and watch videos of the plane taking off and landing from the captain’s seat advantage point. This life-size cockpit is perfect for dramatic play and includes a row of actual airplane seats.

Design and build a custom rocket using just paper and tape, and watch it blast off at the Rocket Launcher.

Step up to the Interactive Mirror, activated by pressure sensitive mats, to expose images of airplanes. This activity helps visitors see themselves in roles in the aviation field with a variety of costumes.

ITEM 19.1. ATTACHMENT 3

Page 336 of 2125 ends

To complement this exhibit and expand the learning experience, we plan to host three community events during the exhibit’s run (September 2027 - January 2028). These events will offer extended evening hours for families to explore the Aim High: Soaring with the Tuskegee Airmen exhibit and will feature community partners. All Rancho Cordova residents will receive free admission for these family-friendly events.

CEIF support will cover essential expenses for our project, including exhibit rental and shipping costs ($18,000); installation costs ($20,000); marketing and graphic design ($4,500); personnel expenses ($2,500); and free event admission for Rancho Cordova residents ($5,000).

Alignment with Grant Purpose
Our project primarily aligns with the fund’s focus on promoting Arts, Culture, History and Entertainment for the benefit of the Rancho Cordova community. The Aim High: Soaring with the Tuskegee Airmen exhibit brings history to life. The exhibit centers on the Tuskegee Airmen, the first military division of African American pilots who fought in World War II. Their courage, dedication, and groundbreaking achievements in the face of adversity are an essential part of American history, and this exhibit will provide a unique opportunity for local children to learn about these trailblazing figures in an interactive, age-appropriate setting. Further, the family-friendly events will celebrate the rich aviation history of the Sacramento region and Rancho Cordova. We will invite community partners to participate and table at these events, including California Capitol Airshow, the City of Rancho Cordova, and other Sacramento Area Museums.

Our project also aligns with the fund’s focus on Children and Youth. The exhibit’s engaging, hands-on activities on aviation and aeronautics will make a profound impact on promoting STEM education for those in the critical 0-8 age range. By making these STEM concepts accessible and fun, the exhibit will not only engage children in understanding how flight works, but will also foster their curiosity about science and technology at an early age. Moreover, this exhibit inspires children to dream big! Children of all ages can imagine themselves as future aviators through hands-on imaginative play, interactive games, and inspirational artifacts and stories from the past.

Sacramento Children’s Museum has proudly served the Rancho Cordova community for the past 15 years, and this new project will provide thousands of local children and their families with a rich, multidimensional learning experience that incorporates STEM education, the heroic contributions of the Tuskegee Airmen, and Rancho Cordova’s ties to the aviation industry.

What challenges do
you anticipate in your

implementation?
What is your plan to
complete your
project/program
should those or other
challenges arise?
We anticipate that maintenance of the Aim High: Soaring with the Tuskegee Airmen exhibit will be one challenge. Because the exhibit is interactive, we expect some of the exhibit’s hands-on components to wear out or break and some of the technological elements may fail. To ensure that all exhibit components continue operating smoothly, we will develop a proactive maintenance and inspection schedule to ensure everything is functioning properly, with special attention to high-use exhibits. We also will train staff on basic troubleshooting.

Another potential challenge is reaching our intended audience. To build awareness and ensure maximum engagement, particularly for our familyfriendly community events, we will utilize social media, press releases to local news outlets, and community partners to promote the project and broaden its reach, and increase these efforts if our events are not heavily attended.

Re: Letter of Support for Sacramento Children’s Museum
Dear Grants Committee,
I am pleased to offer my strong support for Sacramento Children’s Museum’s grant proposal to feature a new children’s exhibit highlighting the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen and the fascinating world of flight.

The California Capital Airshow is proud to support educational efforts that inspire young people to explore aviation, aerospace, and STEM opportunities, and we are honored to partner regularly with Sacramento Children’s Museum in sharing the rich aviation heritage of our region. Located near historic Mather Airport -- home to more than a century of aviation history -- the Museum provides an exceptional environment to spark curiosity in young minds and introduce children to the many rewarding careers across aviation, aerospace, and advanced technology industries.

This work aligns closely with our own mission at the California Capital Airshow to inspire young people to explore these career fields through exciting and meaningful educational experiences.

Sacramento Children’s Museum consistently delivers engaging, hands-on learning experiences that translate complex ideas into moments of discovery for young learners. Their commitment to interactive education and family-centered programming makes them an invaluable community resource and a trusted partner for organizations like ours that are dedicated to inspiring the next generation.

The proposed Aim High exhibit is a natural extension of the Museum’s mission.

Through hands-on and age-appropriate activities, children will explore the principles of aerodynamics and the mechanics of flight while discovering the heroic contributions of the Tuskegee Airmen. As the first Black military aviators in the U.S.

Army Air Corps during World War II, the Tuskegee Airmen demonstrated extraordinary skill and courage while helping break barriers in American aviation.

Their legacy remains especially meaningful in our region, which is fortunate to be home to two very active Tuskegee Airmen Heritage Chapters that continue to preserve and share these important stories. An exhibit like this will resonate deeply with the incredibly diverse students and families we serve, offering young learners both inspiration and a powerful reminder that aviation—and the opportunities it represents -- belongs to everyone.

Description
The I Love Rancho Cordova Outerwear Giveaway is a community-wide initiative designed to promote civic pride, strengthen community identity, and provide practical support to residents. Organized by I Love Rancho Cordova (ILRC), a nonprofit dedicated to celebrating and uplifting the City of Rancho Cordova, the program distributes high-quality “I Love Rancho Cordova” outerwear to residents during a free public community event.

The goal of the program is to bring residents together while reinforcing a shared sense of pride in Rancho Cordova. Participants receive outerwear featuring the message “I Love Rancho Cordova,” encouraging residents to celebrate the city they call home and fostering a visible expression of community pride.

This project aligns with the City’s Community Enhancement & Investment Fund goals by promoting community engagement, strengthening local identity, and creating a positive, inclusive experience that is open to all residents. The giveaway is designed to be accessible and welcoming, allowing individuals and families from across the community to participate without financial barriers.

In addition to promoting civic pride, the program also provides a practical benefit to residents. The outerwear distributed through the program offers a useful clothing item that can be worn throughout the year, particularly during cooler months. For many families, this provides both a meaningful symbol of community pride and a tangible benefit.

The giveaway event itself also serves as an opportunity for residents to gather, meet neighbors, and connect with their community in a positive and welcoming environment. Events like this strengthen relationships among residents and contribute to a stronger sense of belonging.

Beyond the event, the outerwear continues to promote community pride as residents wear it throughout Rancho Cordova at parks, local businesses, community events, and other public spaces. Each item becomes a visible reminder that Rancho Cordova is a community people are proud to call home.

By supporting the I Love Rancho Cordova Outerwear Giveaway, the City’s Community Enhancement & Investment Fund will help expand a program that encourages civic pride, supports residents, and strengthens the sense of community that makes Rancho Cordova a vibrant and connected city.

Tell us about your
Project/Program
Team
The team is led by Elliott Stevenson, Brandon Coleman, and Ed Harris all co-founders of I Love Rancho Cordova. We also have volunteer that help during the event. We use a local Rancho Cordova print shop to produce the outerwear.

Project/Program
Goals
The goal of the I Love Rancho Cordova Outerwear Giveaway is to strengthen community pride, encourage civic connection, and provide a practical benefit to residents through a positive, inclusive community event.

The program is designed to create a visible expression of pride in Rancho Cordova while bringing residents together in a welcoming environment.

First, the program seeks to promote civic pride and a stronger sense of identity among residents. By distributing outerwear featuring the message “I Love Rancho Cordova,” the project encourages residents to celebrate their city and visibly express pride in their community. As residents wear the outerwear throughout the city, the message reinforces a positive shared identity and strengthens the overall sense of belonging within Rancho Cordova.

Second, the program aims to increase community engagement by creating a free public event where residents can gather, meet neighbors, and participate in a shared community experience. Events that bring residents together in a positive and welcoming setting help build stronger relationships and contribute to a more connected community.

Third, the program provides a practical benefit to residents by distributing high-quality outerwear that can be used throughout the year, particularly during cooler seasons. Providing useful clothing at no cost helps ensure the event is accessible and beneficial to residents from a wide range of backgrounds.

Finally, the program aims to create a lasting impact by extending the visibility of community pride beyond the event itself. As residents wear the outerwear at parks, local businesses, community events, and other public spaces, the message continues to promote Rancho Cordova as a city where people take pride in their community and support one another.

Through these goals, the program contributes to building a stronger, more connected Rancho Cordova where residents feel proud of the place they call home.

Description
The Sacramento Telangana Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich culture and arts of India.

Our mission is to bridge the gap between diverse ethnic communities and integrate multiple cultures through active civic engagement and community involvement.

Every year, during the September–October time frame, the Sacramento Telangana Association organizes the festival “Bathukamma – Festival of Flowers.” This vibrant and colorful celebration highlights the intrinsic relationship between earth, water, plants, flowers, and human beings, fostering a sense of community integration and harmony. The festival honors the beauty of nature, the collective spirit of people, the indomitable strength of women, and the agrarian community’s scientific approach to preserving natural resources.

The Bathukamma Festival is a unique cultural event that showcases the heritage of Telangana through a variety of activities. These include traditional dances, music performances, art exhibitions, and educational workshops on creating Bathukammas—beautiful, multi-layered floral arrangements. The festival also features authentic Telangana cuisine, which is served free to all attendees, offering a delightful cultural and culinary experience.

The Sacramento Telangana Association is requesting community enhancement grant funds to support the Festival of Flowers. This event encourages active civic engagement and provides a strong sense of place for residents through arts, music, culture, education, and entertainment.

Over the past decade, this festival has served as a platform for integrating diverse cultures into the community, fostering mutual respect, appreciation, and understanding.

Over the last ten years, the festival has attracted approximately 2,000 participants annually from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, including elected representatives, public officials, business leaders, community leaders, and volunteers. Measure H grant funding will enable us to further enhance, educate, and organize this unique festival in the heart of the City of Rancho Cordova.

Bathukamma – Festival of Flowers has the potential to grow into a major regional tourist attraction, drawing visitors from across California and beyond. It promotes the image of Rancho Cordova as a vibrant cultural hub, enhancing the city’s reputation while contributing to economic growth.

Visitors from cities such as Folsom, Roseville, Rocklin, Stockton, Yuba City, Fremont, San Ramon, Fresno, Modesto, and Fairfield help generate new revenue for the local economy and create opportunities for partnerships that improve quality of life in Rancho Cordova.

In summary, the Bathukamma Festival is not just a celebration of flowers— it is a celebration of culture, community, and collective spirit. It serves as a vital platform for cultural exchange, education, and civic engagement, making it an invaluable asset to the Sacramento region.

Goals
Our goal is to integrate the diverse cultures and ethnicities of the Greater Sacramento region by providing enriching experiences in arts, music, culture, and education. This festival connects various sectors of the community through active civic engagement, fostering a strong sense of place and community pride. It strengthens community relationships through shared experiences in arts, music, culture, education, and entertainment.

This festival is free and open to all community members. It remains a celebration of women’s strength and symbolic empowerment. The event honors womanhood and nature’s beauty by celebrating flowers and their significance in cultural tradition.

It is essential to educate future generations about different cultures, traditions, and the diverse world we live in. As global connections continue to grow, cultural understanding becomes increasingly important. The Bathukamma festival helps children in our community learn to appreciate and respect various cultures and traditions, ultimately shaping them into more informed, compassionate, and responsible citizens.

The festival features a variety of engaging programs, including traditional dancing, an art exhibition, an educational workshop on creating Bathukammas, and the opportunity to enjoy authentic Telangana cuisine— served free to all attendees.

This festival supports the Rancho Cordova community by attracting visitors from across the Sacramento region, including cities such as Folsom, Roseville, Rocklin, Stockton, Yuba City, Fremont, San Ramon, Fresno, Modesto, and Fairfield. The influx of visitors contributes new revenue to the local economy and creates opportunities for partnerships that enhance the overall quality of life in Rancho Cordova.

Synopsis
Teatro Espejo’s 51st season will feature resonant and electric offerings for the community including a piece of original theater created by our ensemble of teatristas, a comedic one-man show, and our bi-annual Intercultural Festival of the Arts.

Description

THE SEASON
Teatro Espejo’s 51st season is designed as a three-part, communitycentered initiative serving Rancho Cordova and greater Sacramento County through original artistic creation and intercultural collaboration.

The season begins with the development and production of a new, collectively created original play. Rooted in community stories and devised in collaboration with local artists, this work will reflect the lived experiences, histories, and aspirations of Rancho Cordova residents. The creation process will include artist convenings, story circles, and rehearsals that prioritize multigenerational participation. The production will be presented at Fat Elephant Theatre, with accessible ticket options to ensure broad community access.

The second show of our season is a new comedic one-man show written and performed by a local favorite, Ike Torres. Having performed several of his original solo shows throughout the Sacramento region, Ike has cultivated a local following and will premiere his newest show, HUMANIDAD, in collaboration with a creative team of teatristas. The show, while still in development, will touch on themes of being Latino in today’s political climate, the “American Dream”, and gender expression. With a shorter run, HUMANIDAD will also be presented at Fat Elephant Theatre.

The third anchor of the season is the Intercultural Festival of the Arts, a week-long celebration produced in partnership with culturally specific arts organizations including Matriarchy Theatre, Sinag-tala Filipino Theater, Ma Series Arts, and PNDA Lahiarts. Each partner will curate an evening of performance representing distinct cultural traditions across theater, dance, music, spoken word, and visual art. The festival culminates in a free community block party featuring live music, local vendors, teaching artists, and family-friendly activities.

ITEM 19.1. ATTACHMENT 3

Page 389 of 2125 ends

Together, these programs advance Rancho Cordova’s goals of community enhancement by:
• Expanding access to arts programming at low cost
• Increasing visibility and opportunity for historically under-resourced BIPOC artists
• Strengthening cross-cultural understanding and civic connection • Activating local venues and public spaces
• Driving foot traffic to nearby small businesses during performances and festival events

COMMUNITY BENEFIT
Rancho Cordova is home to a diverse and growing population. However, culturally specific performing arts opportunities that reflect the identities of Latine, Black, Indigenous, and AAPI residents remain limited. Teatro Espejo’s season directly addresses this gap by creating spaces where community members see their stories, languages, and aesthetics represented.

Our plays offer local artists paid professional opportunities while fostering collaboration and skill-building. The Intercultural Festival expands audiences across communities, breaking down silos between organizations and encouraging shared participation. The culminating block party and marketplace support local creative entrepreneurs and vendors, contributing to neighborhood vibrancy and economic activity.

By combining original storytelling with intercultural celebration, Teatro Espejo’s season strengthens cultural vitality, supports economic activity, promotes inclusive public gathering, and deepens community pride in Rancho Cordova. It represents both artistic excellence and meaningful community investment.

costs beyond Fiscal
Year 2026/2027, if
applicable.

Teatro Espejo’s season does not create any long-term capital improvements or facility obligations that would generate ongoing maintenance costs beyond the grant period.

Ongoing operational costs associated with Teatro Espejo’s annual programming include typical artistic and administrative expenses such as artist stipends, venue rentals, insurance, marketing, and production materials. These recurring costs are incorporated into our standard annual operating budget and supported through a combination of ticket revenue, individual giving, government grants, foundation support, and partnerships.

Because this project relies on short-term venue rentals and temporary event permits rather than permanent installations, there are no additional maintenance, repair, or long-term upkeep expenses anticipated beyond Fiscal Year 2026–2027.

What challenges do
you anticipate in your
project/program's
implementation?
What is your plan to
complete your
project/program
should those or other
challenges arise?
As a small, artist-led organization, the primary challenges we anticipate involve funding timing and audience development.

FUNDING AND CASH FLOW
As with many nonprofit arts organizations, grant disbursement timelines and reimbursement-based funding can create temporary cash flow challenges.

Response: Teatro Espejo maintains a diversified funding strategy that includes individual donations, earned income, and government support. The project budget is built conservatively, and programming can be scaled proportionally to confirmed revenue. If necessary, production elements such as design scope, marketing spend, or number of performances can be adjusted without compromising artistic integrity or community access.

AUDIENCE VARIABILITY
While previous iterations of the festival have demonstrated strong attendance, audience behavior can shift due to economic pressures and/or competing events.

Response: Our outreach strategy prioritizes direct, relationship-based engagement through partner organizations, community leaders, churches, schools, and small businesses. We will employ multilingual marketing, sliding-scale ticketing, and free public components to reduce barriers to participation. Should attendance projections shift, we will increase targeted outreach and leverage partner mailing lists and cross-promotion.

EXTERNAL FACTORS
Unforeseen circumstances such as venue availability changes, permitting delays, or public safety considerations may arise.

Response: We secure permits and venue contracts well in advance and maintain open communication with venue partners and the City. Backup dates and alternative space options will be identified during early planning stages to ensure continuity.

Teatro Espejo’s 50-year history demonstrates resilience and adaptability.

Our implementation strategy emphasizes early planning, shared leadership, fiscal conservatism, and scalable programming. Should challenges arise, we are prepared to adjust responsibly while ensuring that the core goals of artistic excellence, community access, and intercultural collaboration remain intact.

Why the Rancho Cordova Film O5ice Is Uniquely Positioned to Carry Out This Project
The Rancho Cordova Film O3ice is uniquely positioned to document the construction of the Zinfandel Drive Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing because of its direct connection to the community, its professional filmmaking capabilities, and its experience producing documentary projects focused on Rancho Cordova.

Led by Charles Lago, the Film O3ice combines professional film production expertise with a deep understanding of the city and its institutions. The team has already produced two documentaries highlighting important Rancho Cordova organizations, including Symphony D’Oro and the Rancho Cordova Food Locker, demonstrating the ability to tell meaningful local stories through high-quality filmmaking.

The Film O3ice is also currently producing a feature-length documentary about Soil Born Farms, further illustrating the team’s experience managing long-form documentary productions from concept through completion.

Because the Film O3ice operates locally and works closely with the City of Rancho Cordova, it is well positioned to coordinate filming access, maintain communication with city departments, and ensure that the project aligns with the city’s communication goals.

The Film O3ice also has the professional production equipment and post-production capabilities necessary to complete the project without requesting additional funding for equipment.

This combination of filmmaking experience, local knowledge, and existing resources makes the Rancho Cordova Film O3ice the ideal organization to document and preserve this important moment in the city’s history.

Community Benefit / Impact
Documenting the construction of the Zinfandel Drive Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing will provide meaningful benefits to Rancho Cordova residents by giving the community an opportunity to see how a major infrastructure project comes to life.

Monthly video updates will allow residents to follow the progress of construction and better understand the scale and complexity of the project. These updates can be shared through the City’s communication channels, helping keep the public informed and engaged.

The completed documentary will serve as an educational and inspirational piece that highlights the work of engineers, planners, construction teams, and city leadership. It will ITEM 19.1. ATTACHMENT 3

Page 416 of 2125 ends

showcase the investment the city is making in improving safety, mobility, and connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists.

The project also strengthens civic pride by celebrating the people and vision behind an important improvement to Rancho Cordova’s infrastructure. By documenting the process from start to finish, the film will help residents feel connected to the project and understand the role it plays in shaping the city’s future.

Historical and Civic Value
Major infrastructure projects are defining moments in the development of a city. The construction of the Zinfandel Drive Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing represents an important step in Rancho Cordova’s continued growth and commitment to safe, modern transportation infrastructure.

By documenting the project as it unfolds, the Rancho Cordova Film O3ice will create a permanent visual record of this milestone. The finished documentary will preserve the story of how the bridge was conceived, designed, and constructed, capturing insights from the individuals responsible for making the project possible.

This historical record will become a valuable resource for future residents, educators, historians, and city leaders. It will help tell the story of how Rancho Cordova invested in its infrastructure and worked to improve quality of life for its community.

In this way, the project goes beyond simple documentation—it preserves an important chapter in the ongoing story of Rancho Cordova.

Description
First, to maintain the start and finish line configuration from the previous year’s grant, which considers the start line in William Pond Park (to facilitate larger volume parking accommodations) and all finish lines and the entire Kids Otter Dash within the Rancho Cordova City limits, similar to the Eppie’s Great Race configuration (and what is now the Great American Triathlon). The section along the American River Parkway, from River Bend to Sunrise, is the main route for the Parkway Half Marathon, and travels through the most pristine, remote, and expansive portions of the Parkway.

Additionally, to continue the Parkway Half Marathon route and finish line within the Rancho Cordova city limits aligns the city with a major running event, as well as a meets the goal of having a community health a fitness event. The Parkway Half also raises awareness for, as well as greatly contributes and promotes, Rancho Cordova as an active lifestyle community in concert with other local jurisdictions health resources and environments. The alignment of the Parkway Half Marathon with Rancho Cordova elevates the City as a primary regional supporter of the Parkway, as proceeds from the race are donated to fund projects and improvements along the Parkway. Having the race route and finish line within the City and connected to other existing events is beneficial to all local residents.

Further, to maintain support for the Kid’s 1k “Otter Dash.” This is known as the Otter Run. The goal is to align this event to the morning of Kids’ Day in the Park. As Kids’ Day is no cost to participants, the object is to continue with keeping the Otter run at no charge to all Rancho Cordova children as well. The participants in the event have all the safety, supervision and environmental needs of a race event. Plus they are provided with a shirt and medal.

Finally, to provide an opportunity for local youth organizations to volunteer in a safe environment while supporting a major running event. It, also, expands the awareness of the sport of running and hiking. Youth groups would primarily be identified as those associated with the Rancho Cordova Alethic Association.

Goals
The primary goal of the race is to provide a positive race experience for the participants to inspire healthy, active lifestyle, and regular fitness engagement and, as such, leveraging those attributes (which annually attracts participants from over 130 California cities) to both brand the race as a City of Rancho Cordova event, and elevate the City of Rancho Cordova as a California destination for travel.

Secondary goals include:

1. Upgrading and improving the American River Parkway experience of its users (5 million annually), of which a substantial portion runs through the City of Rancho Cordova, thereby making it a primary recreational location for numerous residents of the City of Rancho Cordova.:

2. Providing the best affordable half marathon race to the community.

Driving out-of-town participants to use Rancho Cordova’s hospitality services.

3.. Maintaining sponsorship of the 1k Kids race to provide a free event for the children of City of Rancho Cordova with all the excitement of a race event, in concert with the existing Kids Day event in the afternoon.

The combined metrics of these goals include:

Raising over $400,000 over the past 17 years, with 100% of those proceeds used to benefit the Parkway by various projects. The most recent project is a collaborative effort with the City of Rancho Cordova, the Cordova Recreation and Park District, the Rotary Club of Rancho Cordova and the Parkway Half Marathon, which has led, so far, to the completion of installing of four drinking fountains, and one more installation scheduled for April 2026. These fountains are ADA accessible, dog friendly, bike safe and runner/walker useable, all within the boundaries of the City of Rancho Cordova along the Parkway.

Aligning and branding the race event with the City of Rancho Cordovan through website and other media broadcasts, including having Rancho Cordova local government officers serving as grand marshal at the race start to deliver a message to the community, and a post-race video message to all participants from the mayor of Rancho Cordova.

We have been producing this race for 17 years and have leveraged the region's best industry professionals to ensure any challenges that arise can be anticipated and mitigated to eliminate any impact to the event. To date, all events have been executed in full capacity with no diminishment or reduction of service or experience. In fact, the only challenge that has impacted the event to the extent that it could not be operated, was the pandemic. In those extreme cases, our mitigation plan is to cancel the event, advise all participants and vendors of a new proposed date, offer reimbursement or rollover of registration fees to participants, and hold over any already-purchases resources for the next available date.

How many individuals
does your
project/program
serve?
Between 1200 and 2000 at the event, depending on registrations.

Additionally, because all proceeds are invested back into Parkway improvements (specifically drinking fountains), our project, on a more broad scale, serves all residents of the Sacramento area, including Rancho Cordova who frequent the Parkway. Annual estimates are 5 million visitors How many Rancho
Cordova residents
does your
project/program
serve?
Any resident who frequents the Parkway and uses the drinking fountains, participates in the race, or derives indirect economic benefits from the visitors frequenting businesses in Rancho Cordova.

should those or other
challenges arise?
A potential challenge is if the City is unable to expand the budget to fully support a two-day event with high-end gaming PCs. Should this occur, we are prepared to proceed with a single-day event, utilizing Nintendo Switch consoles instead of online machines. This approach ensures that the Expo remains accessible, engaging, and community-focused, while still delivering workshops, tournaments, and interactive activities. We will maintain our core goals of community engagement, youth empowerment, and local creative showcases, ensuring a meaningful experience for all participants despite scaled resources.

Dear Members of the Selection Committee,
I am writing to strongly support College Esports’ application for the City of Rancho Cordova’s Community Enhancement Grant. College Esports provides valuable hands-on learning opportunities in the growing esports industry, helping students develop leadership, teamwork, and technical skills. Their inclusive programs engage local students, offering mentorship and career pathways in tech, media, and business.

I hope you will consider supporting College Esports again this year, allowing them to continue to foster youth development, workforce growth, and creativity within Rancho Cordova. I believe their initiatives have had a lasting, positive impact on the community and I hope they will have the opportunity to expand their events so they can include more students in these wonderful, hands-on, leadership opportunities.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
Amber Gillespie
President, Sacramento Extra Life

Synopsis
Our program focuses on Veterans and First Responders who have mental health disabilities in training their own service dogs at no cost. We also have a Peer Support Canine program for public safety agencies to support mental wellness to officers, staff and civilians.

Page 455 of 2125 ends

Project/Program
Description
Our service dog training program consists of multiple classes a week, each with no more than 6 teams for a 12-18 month-long course covering 3 levels of training. The first level consists of basic obedience training, the second level consists of introducing the start of cues for task work, and our last level is team specific task work to assist the handler in navigating their disability. After the first level, our trainers, every other wee,k accompany our teams to various public spaces to support them in a real-world environment, such as Home Depot, Lowe's, pet-friendly stores, Target, Walmart, Coscto etc. Our teams are required to attend classes weekly for approximately 1 hour, complete weekly homework, and submit monthly progress reports. After each level, teams are tested on our benchmark criteria and the appropriate level of the American Kennel Club tests, where they earn an AKC certificate, ribbon, and patch celebrating their teamwork in training. Our entire program is at no cost to the Veteran or First Responder, as most do not have the resources to pay for a service dog and all that goes into caring for one. We receive many applications from students who go to Mather VA Hospital in Rancho Cordova and the Vet Center.

Our Facility/Peer Support Canine program focuses on training a canine for a specific public safety agency. That could be a Fire Department, Law Enforcement, or District Attorney's office. These canines work to support the officers, firefighters, and all of their staff in Critical Incident Debriefings in their overall mental wellness. The canines also participate in school events, visit hospitals, and community events to bring education and engagement to the community they serve. Our Peer Support Canines have their own curriculum they are taught, including fun tricks to engage all they serve. They learn "high-five", "sunny side up" (belly rubs), "wave", "stop, drop, roll", to name a few. They also learn how to recognize someone who might be having a difficult time by the behavior that person is exhibiting.

With this program, our trainers go to the team's agency (site visit) in place of public access. They train the team where they spend most of their time.

The program is approximately 9 months long and very closely mirrors our service dog program. The Peer support program's testing is all 3 of the AKC Canine Good Citizen tests.

Once a team graduates, we hold a graduation ceremony where they receive a Certificate of Completion, and the community, along with friends and family, is invited to congratulate them on their success. Our graduation for last year's teams is being held at the Rancho Cordova Elk's Club. We, as an organization, feel it is important to promote and support within our community.

Both of our programs also have lifetime support available for our teams and have a requirement to be recertified at 6 months, 1 year, and every 3 years.

Goals
4 Paws 2 Freedoms goal for our service and facility canine program is to have all teams enrolled successful. How we assist them in being successful is after each of our levels the teams are tested on our internal benchmarks and the corresponding American Kennel Club test. While we as an organization make every attempt to have all of our teams succeed; anytime canine's are involved and as they move forward into more complex tasks they might not all be service dog material. Our trainers make every attempt to work with said team if that becomes apparent through training and meet with the handler to discuss different paths that might work for both the canine and handler.

Challenges can always occur when working with our student population.

Those can include missed classes due to their mental health as well as taking longer to learn concepts. We have always held our students accountable for their participation in class and have a policy for missed classes. We also offer them to come to another class that is open to do make up lessons and offer phone or zoom review. They are also given a workbook for each level explaining how to train their canine on that week's lesson if they do miss a class.

Project/Program
Description
The funds would be used to replace all aging chairs and some of the tables which are of safety concern. The new chairs and tables will be stored and used at the lodge. This project would be executed by the lodge purchasing the items from a supply vendor. This would be replacing two hundred aging chairs, chair racks, and some of our eight foot and six foot tables which are beyond repair. The table and chairs would be used by the elks to include supporting many community functions. Here is a list of some of the functions that will be using the table and chairs at the Rancho Cordova Elks Lodge 2484.

Boy scouts use the chairs and tables for monthly meeting and events by the Rancho Cordova Cub and Boy scouts .

Using these chairs and table to provide free dinners to all veterans and their family on Veterans day.

Promote the Rancho Cordova Lancer Leaders & Legends kids by providing them learning and financial opportunity in the food preparation and serving at many events.

The chairs and tables are used for event in support of funding and visibility of the services offered by Four Paws For Vets During the year we have multiple fund raisers using the table and chairs in support for the annual Elks youth scholarship program.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE) will not allow additionally insured on the Elks Master General Liability Insurance. To meet the City of Rancho Cordova requirement of insurance. Our officers are looking to purchasing a separate insurance policy for the purpose of this Grant.

Another challenge is the fluctuation of price of goods that may arise from increases of tariffs., To address this issue it may require us to adjust or reduced items needed to meet costs of project.

Another issue is items being on back order, or delivery issues.

Continuous communication and updates with vendor on items stock level and estimated delivery times. Communication with the vendor will provide us the tools to set the estimated delivery date on our timeline.

Also vendor updated will provide us a method to monitor our milestone and the progress of our timelines. By monitoring the progress and milestones of our time line.

The lodge is currently actively working on an insurance policy to be used in support of the Rancho Cordova City's insurance requirements.

Project/Program
Description
Village Rising hosts our Financial Empowerment Series two times per year as a pop-up event held in various locations around Sacramento, California.

This series offers free round table financial education and wealth resource navigation to underserved and working families who live and work in Racho Cordova and are striving for long-term stability and economic independence. This program and the other full service programs that Village Rising offers aim serve Rancho Cordova and Sacramento families who do not qualify for or have transitioned out of California low-income programs but have not yet achieved full financial independence by helping them phase into a more advantageous and sustainable socio and economic stability.

The goal of our Professional Education Series Program is to support two types of families. The first type is low- and middle-income families who have graduated from low-income assistance programs but remain financially vulnerable due to the “benefits cliff.” As households increase their income and transition off California Works (CalWorks) programs, California’s public assistance programs often lose access to critical programs and support before their earnings are sufficient to achieve financial stability. As a result, many families find themselves earning too much to qualify for childcare, housing, food and financial assistance, yet not enough to build savings, reduce debt, or invest in long-term financial security that would yield to an increased quality of life. The second demographic served by this workshop includes middle-income families who have never qualified for CalWorks low-income assistance programs and often fall through the proverbial cracks of existing support systems.

ITEM 19.1. ATTACHMENT 3

Page 481 of 2125 ends

Although these households may not meet eligibility thresholds for assistance, many continue to face significant financial pressures, including rising living costs, debt obligations, limited access to financial education, and barriers to building long-term financial security. The Financial Empowerment Series will provide practical financial education, coaching, and access to trusted financial resource professionals to help families stabilize their finances and move toward socio-economic mobility.

The first semi-annual Financial Empowerment Series event will be held on May 26, 2026 at the Frequency Coworking Event space in Rancho Cordova. Future events scheduled for program year 2026 and program year 2027 will also be held at the Frequency Coworking Event Space in Rancho Cordova but these worshop are contigent upon funding. The four sessions will serve 50 - 60 individuals and families in Rancho Cordova and neighboring Sacramento communities from age 16 and up. Working youth and adults will have seperate workshops and youth will be afforded the option to learn and plan with their families. All participants will attend at no cost, eliminating financial barriers to access. Each participant will leave with a personalized short-and long-term financial action plan and follow-up access to assigned industry professionals who donate their time to support measurable financial outcomes.

To elaborate on the synopsis provided above, our event workshops focus on providing families and individuals with the following services:
- Budgeting and financial planning
- Credit building and debt reduction
- Homeownership and real estate acquisition
- Estate planning navigation
- Business structure development (for-profit and nonprofit) - Banking systems and financial resource navigation
- Veteran financial planning
