Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA), which oversees statewide parks and open space funding, awarded the City of Sacramento $20 million in Community Reinvestment Project funding in FY 2022/23 through the 2022 Budget Act.
The proposed amendment will support three city-owned projects in the amount of $1,410,000 under the Community Grant as listed in Exhibit B. Each city department listed is responsible for project planning, seeking CIP authority, and executing the projects as the state originally intended per CNRA grant guidelines. There are three programs to be implemented by other agencies and non-profit
File ID: 2025-01297 7/1/2025
organizations under City subrecipient agreements totaling $625,000 listed in Exhibit B. The proposed actions include authorizing execution of the CNRA grant agreement for three subrecipients. The final allocation will support grant administration in the City Manager’s Office in the amount of $34,582.
The CNRA requires the City Council to approve modifications to the state grant award, execute subrecipient agreements for newly identified projects, and obligate funding for city projects before the state grant agreements expire. The grant agreement between CNRA and the City allows for amendment by mutual agreement (Section D - Project Administration, #7. of Exhibit A).
Policy Considerations: The recommendations contained in this report are consistent with Sacramento City Code Section 3.04.020, which requires Council authorization to modify or enter into an agreement greater than or equal to $250,000; and City Council Resolution 2024-0193, which requires Council authorization to establish capital improvement projects, budget transfers, and distribute subaward grants of $250,000 or more.
The State grant funding will continue to enable the City and its community partners and agencies to implement new capital improvement projects, improve existing City facilities, enhance community livability, improve public health and safety, provide jobs for youth, and respond to the needs and interests of residents. This is consistent with the City’s General Plan Goals in the areas of Education, Recreation, and Culture.
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations: California Environmental Quality Act: The grant agreement and subrecipient agreements include the requirement to conduct environmental review for the capital improvement projects under CEQA once the preliminary design is completed and the scope of the construction project is defined in order to evaluate the potential environmental impacts and identify feasible mitigation measures. CNRA will not approve release of the grant funding until the CEQA process is completed.
Sustainability: The City capital improvement projects have been reviewed for consistency with the goals, policies, and targets of the City’s Sustainability Master Plan (SMP), the City’s Climate Action Plan, and the 2035 General Plan. The projects will advance the goals, policies, and targets of these plans by improving the health of residents and providing recreational opportunities through improvements to City facilities.
Commission/Committee Action: None.
Rationale for Recommendation: The purpose of the grant funds is to support community reinvestment programs and projects that benefit many diverse communities across the City Sacramento. The recommended programs and projects meet the grant criteria as they address a wide continuum of life-enriching programs and strengthening neighborhoods, in alignment with the
File ID: 2025-01297 7/1/2025
purpose of the grants. Sacramento communities’ economic and social conditions reflect a high need for support services, community engagement and development opportunities, as well as expanding capacity of local organizations to deliver projects and critical services.
Financial Considerations: The California Legislature has allocated specified funding for City and community projects through the Budget Act of 2022. Projects will be managed and tracked by multiple city departments and community-based organizations.
Staff recommend accepting the budget modification and reallocation of state grant funds, establishing capital improvement grant projects, and respective budgets to memorialize the entirety of the two state grant awards. The tables below reflect all projects, award amounts, and the responsible department or entity.

7. This Agreement may be amended by mutual agreement in writing between the Grantee and the State.

8. Grantee must report to the State all sources of other funds for the Project.
E. Project Termination
1. All funding is contingent upon appropriation. Prior to the completion of the Project, either party may terminate this Agreement by providing the other party with thirty (30) days' written notice of such termination. The State may also terminate this Grant Agreement for any reason at any time if it learns of or otherwise discovers that there is a violation of any state or federal law or policy by the Grantee which affects performance of this, or any other grant agreement or contract entered into with the State.
2. If the State terminates without cause the Agreement prior to the end of the Project Performance Period, the Grantee shall take all reasonable measures to prevent further costs to the State under this Agreement. The State shall be responsible for any reasonable and non-cancelable obligations incurred by the Grantee in the performance of the Agreement prior to the date of the notice to terminate, but only up to the undisbursed balance of funding authorized in this Agreement.
3. If the Grantee fails to complete the Project prior to the termination date, the Grantee shall be liable for immediate repayment to the State of all amounts disbursed by the State under this Agreement, plus accrued interest and any further costs related to the Project. The State shall consider extenuating circumstances and not require repayment for Project work partially completed provided that the State determines it is in the State's best interest to do so. This paragraph shall not be deemed to limit any other remedies available to the State for breach of this Agreement.
4. Failure by the Grantee to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement under the Act may be cause for suspension of all obligations of the State hereunder.
5. Failure of the Grantee to comply with the terms of this Agreement shall not be cause for suspending all obligations of the State hereunder if, in the judgment of the State, such failure was due to no fault of the Grantee. At the discretion of the State, any amount required to settle at minimum cost any irrevocable obligations properly incurred shall be eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement.
6. Because the benefit to be derived by the State, from the full compliance by the Grantee with the terms of this Agreement, is the for the purposes as stated in the Application for the people of the State of California, and because such benefit exceeds to an immeasurable and unascertainable extent the amount of money furnished by the State by way of grant funds under the provisions of this Agreement, the Grantee agrees that payment by the Grantee to the State of an amount equal to the amount of the grant funds disbursed under this Agreement by the State would be inadequate compensation to the State for any breach by the Grantee of this Agreement. The Grantee further agrees therefore, that the appropriate remedy in the event of a breach by the Grantee of this Agreement shall be the specific performance of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed to by the State.
Exhibit A

Grantee acknowledges that it is solely responsible for compliance with items to which it has certified.
3. Grantee and State agree that in the event of judgment entered against the State and the Grantee because of the gross negligence of the State and the Grantee, their officers, agents, or employees, an apportionment of liability to pay such judgment shall be made by a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither party shall request a jury apportionment.

2. Grantee agrees that during regular office hours, the State and its duly authorized representatives shall have the right to inspect and make copies of any books, records or reports of the Grantee pertaining to this Agreement or matters related thereto. Grantee shall maintain and make available for inspection by the State accurate records of all of its costs, disbursements, and receipts with respect to its activities under this Agreement.
3. Grantee shall use applicable Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, unless otherwise agreed to by the State.
H. Use of Facilities
1. Grantee shall ensure that use of the Project Property is for the purposes for which the grant was made and shall make no other use or sale or other disposition of the property.
2. Reimbursement of Grant with interest: At the State's sole discretion, if the Grantee owns the Project Property and the use of the property is changed to a use that is not permitted by the Agreement or if the property is sold or otherwise disposed of by Grantee, the State may seek an amount equal to: (1) the amount of the Grant plus accrued interest at the prime interest rate at the time of disposition, and (2) the amount of any increase in property value attributed to grant-funded improvements to the Project Property.

N. Disputes
If the Grantee believes that there is a dispute or grievance between Grantee and the State arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Grantee shall first discuss and attempt to resolve the issue informally with the Agency Grants Administrator. If the issue cannot be resolved at this level, the Grantee shall follow the following procedures:
1. If the issue cannot be resolved informally with the Agency Grants Administrator, the Grantee shall submit, in writing, a grievance report together with any evidence to the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Bonds and Grants for the California Natural Resources Agency. The grievance report must state the issues in the dispute, the legal authority, or other basis for the Grantee's position and the remedy sought. Within ten (10) working days of receipt of the written grievance report from the Grantee, the Deputy Assistant Secretary shall make a determination on the issue(s) and shall respond in writing to the Grantee indicating the decision and reasons therefore. Should the Grantee disagree with the Deputy Assistant Secretary's decision, the Grantee may appeal to the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Finance for the Natural Resources Agency.
2. The Grantee must submit a letter of appeal to the Assistant Secretary explaining why the Deputy Assistant Secretary's decision is unacceptable. The letter must include, as an attachment, copies of the Grantee's original grievance report, evidence originally submitted, and response from the Deputy Assistant Secretary.

The decision of the Assistant Secretary or designee shall be final.
O. Audit Requirements
Grant projects are subject to audit by the State annually and for three (3) years following the final payment of grant funds. The audit shall include all books, papers, accounts, documents, or other records of the Grantee, as they relate to the project for which the grant funds were granted.

Brief Project/Program Description:
Sacramento Area Creeks Council (SACC) is applying for a California State Specified Grant to serve as the fiscal sponsor in support of River City Waterway Alliance (RCWA). RCWA is a grassroots, all-volunteer group dedicated to cleaning, restoring and protecting the imperiled waterways of the Sacramento region. RCWA hosts volunteer waterway cleanup events, and works in partnership with public agencies, community groups and citizen volunteers. RCWA also raises awareness about environmental damage to our waterways and advocates for policies that provide abatement and restoration measures to improve the long-term ecological health and sustainability of local creeks and rivers.
Since RCWA’s inception in January 2023, it has hosted 430 volunteer cleanup events, involving 12,982 volunteer hours and the removal of 1,466,000 pounds of trash from local waterways and adjacent riparian habitats. This includes 705 shopping carts, 280 tires tires, over 32,000 batteries and over 12,000 hypodermic needles. SACC is seeking this grant for RCWA to build on this momentum and expand its reach and impact.
As part of this grant project, RCWA expects to host approximately 234 events during the 24-month grant period, most of which will be completed during the first 18 months of the grant (averaging 13 events per month). This will result in the removal of an estimated 585,000 pounds of trash and debris from local waterways (average of 2,500 pounds per event). This impact will be made by dozens of local citizen volunteers, who will be donating an estimated 8,424 volunteer hours to remove trash from local waterways during RCWA events (average of 36 hours per event).
This grant request will support the purchase of tools and supplies, refreshments for volunteers, fuel and transportation, and promotional materials to recruit new volunteers and raise awareness about our waterways. The grant represents an investment of
$427.35 per event, or about $0.17 per pound of trash removed and $11.87 per volunteer hour. This is a bargain for taxpayer investment, compared to the $86 to $97 hourly rate of County Parks contractor ACTenviro who recently won a bid to perform similar work.
Funding from this Grant Program will be leveraged by supplies and services donated by other public agencies, monetary donations from individuals, and thousands of in-kind volunteer hours. Partners in this project include Sacramento County Regional Parks, Sacramento Area Sewer District, City of Sacramento Youth, Parks & Community Enrichment, City of Sacramento Department of Utilities, Reclamation District 1000, American River Flood Control District, and local groups such as Friends of Steelhead Creek, Arcade Creek Adopt a Creek Project, and Elk Grove Anti-Trash Volunteers.
a. S.M.A.R.T. Deliverables
2 DELIVERABLE #1: RCWA-Hosted Group Cleanup Events on Local Waterways
Specific: This project proposes to host 234 events along local waterways. Potential waterway locations include the Sacramento River, American River, Arcade Creek, Steelhead Creek, Robla Creek, Morrison Creek and other local creeks and streams.
Measurable: All events hosted by RCWA are tracked carefully and logged into a database that includes event date, location, number of volunteers, event duration, quantity of trash removed, and links to Facebook posts or YouTube videos documenting the event.
Achievable: Since its inception in 2023, RCWA has hosted 430 events. This remarkable achievement was a result of RCWA hosting 5-6 events almost every week. RCWA will continue this momentum by completing an additional 234 events during the grant period. While this is an ambitious goal, RCWA’s track record proves that this is an achievable goal. RCWA’s growing body of volunteers, its strong partnership relationships, and its streamlined and flexible process for event coordination and logistical planning also make this goal realistic and viable.
Relevant: Unfortunately, public agencies are either incapable or unwilling to adequately remove trash from Sacramento waterways. They are limited by either lack of jurisdictional control, insufficient staff or financial resources, and/or liability issues. As such, trash accumulates in and around our waterways to the detriment of water quality and wildlife habitat locally and downstream. Citizen volunteers are critical to the removal of this trash. The events hosted by RCWA are absolutely imperative for the cleaning and restoration of our waterways. Group events provide the knowledge, teamwork, experience, emotional and physical support, safety, camaraderie, specialization and mere economies of scale to allow RCWA volunteers to tackle even the most severely trashed stretches of creeks and rivers in the Sacramento community.
Time-bound: RCWA proposes to conduct an estimated 234 cleanup events during the grant period. This number is based on an average of 13 events per month over the course of 18 months. Most events are 3 hours in length, though some events may be longer or shorter in duration due to variables such as weather, conditions, and willingness of volunteers to work longer.
DELIVERABLE #2: Trash and Debris Removal from Sacramento Waterways
Specific: This project proposes to remove 585,000 pounds of trash and debris during this project. RCWA volunteers will remove trash from creek and river channels and along banks, levees, and associated riparian habitat. Items such as textiles (rugs, clothing, sleeping bags), mattresses, shoes, propane canisters, lighters, tents, tires, batteries, hypodermic needles, plastic and glass containers, shopping carts, containers of human waste, and electronics are typical items removed by RCWA volunteers. Volunteers use an arsenal of tools and supplies to accomplish this, including grabbers, buckets, bags, knives, shovels, nets, cultivators, wagons, hoists and other items, including proper protective clothing (i.e. boots, hi-visibility vests, waders, hats).
Measurable: Trash weights are measured by a scale at the landfill or by weights reported by the public agencies that haul RCWA’s trash piles. In situations where actual weights are not available, RCWA leaders estimate trash weight.
With more than 400 events under its belt, RCWA is very adept at estimating the weight of trash piles and is very cautious against any over-reporting. In addition to total weights, RCWA also tracks the total number of shopping carts and tires removed.
Achievable: RCWA is very experienced in trash removal, and has removed more than
1.4 million pounds of trash since its inception in January 2023. This was accomplished during 430 events, which averaged to 3,409 pounds per event. This project’s estimate is for an average of 2,500 pounds per event (585,000 total).
Because this estimate is a bit more conservative, it should be achievable.
Relevant: The ecological health of the local waterways in the Sacramento region is severely degraded by the accumulation of trash and inorganic debris. The inordinate deposit of trash and debris chokes out oxygen flow and 3 impedes fish migration and spawning habitat. Trash in waterways also impedes natural water flow, compacts soil, threatens public recreation opportunities, adds toxic chemicals to the water, and creates public safety and public health hazards. Regionally, trash from Sacramento waterways is carried downstream into the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and beyond.
Time-bound: RCWA proposes to conduct an estimated 234 trash cleanup events during the 24-month grant period. This project should be completed within the first 18-months of the grant period, and is based on an average of 13 events per month.
DELIVERABLE #3: Engagement of Citizen Volunteers
Specific: This project proposes to engage local citizens in 8,424 hours of volunteer service. RCWA events have tasks for a variety of physical abilities, interest levels and skills, including easy-to-grab trash from land (i.e. lightweight plastics) to heavy and/or difficult-to-move items such as mattresses, buried textiles, and abandoned furniture. All volunteers are encouraged to only do what they feel comfortable doing and to ask for help and take breaks as needed.
There is something for everyone and all volunteer efforts are appreciated and celebrated. Most events are appropriate for ages 16 and older.
Measurable: RCWA tracks all volunteer participation through sign-in sheets at each event. RCWA leaders then meticulously track this participation to be able to quantify the number of volunteers and volunteer hours.
Achievable: With an anticipated 13 events per month, each event will have an average of 36 volunteer hours (468 monthly hours) for a total of 8,424 volunteer hours over the course of the grant. These numbers are achievable based on RCWA’s proven track record and its growing roster of interested and engaged volunteers. RCWA actively promotes its events on Facebook and through a weekly email newsletter. RCWA may also use Facebook “boosts” to engage a wider audience, as well as cross-promotion with event partners, and/or press releases to local media and elected officials.
RCWA’s frequent presence at community events and its media attention also recruit new volunteers.
Relevant: RCWA’s events are excellent opportunities for citizens to get involved and inspire action that directly and meaningfully addresses the problem of pollution in our local waterways. Volunteers enjoy the camaraderie of an RCWA event and being a part of dramatic before-and-after transformations along local waterways.
Time-bound: With an estimated 234 events during the grant period, there will be multiple opportunities for volunteer engagement. Most events will be hosted Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday. Events are generally held between 9 am and noon, though some events will take place in the afternoon or evening hours.

Brief Project/Program Description:
Gun violence is a leading cause of premature death in the U.S. Guns kill more than 38,000 people and cause nearly 85,000 injuries each year. Brother 2 Brother recognizes that we must formulate a comprehensive public health approach to addressing this growing crisis.
In the United States, gun violence is a major public health problem and a leading cause of premature death. Preventing death, disability and injury from gun violence requires a public health approach that involves data collection and surveillance, research to understand which policies and programs are effective in decreasing gun violence, initiatives to implement those measures that are shown to work and continued surveillance and evaluation.
Brother 2 Brother’s primary prevention and disruption approach involves the use of core public health activities to interrupt the transmission of violence: (1) conducting training classes for real-life exposure to gun-related deaths and injuries, providing insight into the causes of gun violence and assess the impact of interventions; (2) identifying risk factors associated with gun violence (e.g., poverty and depression) and resilience or protective factors that guard against gun violence (e.g., youth access to trusted adults); (3) developing, implementing and evaluating interventions to reduce risk factors and build resilience; and (4) institutionalizing successful prevention strategies. Importantly, prevention does not require predicting who will be violent. Just as aviation safety regulations make air travel safer for everyone, commonsense measures to prevent gun violence make communities safer for everyone.
As such, we have developed an innovative class to bring gun awareness and harm reduction to the forefront in at- promise communities across Greater Sacramento.
1. Tailored and Contextual Learning
Customization allows the model to be adapted to the specific experiences and realities of the students’ communities. By reflecting each environment's cultural and social nuances, the program becomes more relatable, fostering greater engagement and relevance.
Local context: Addressing local factors such as gang presence, economic stress, or racial disparities increases the likelihood that students will identify with the material and apply lessons to their own lives.
2. Modular Flexibility
Adaptable content: The modular structure allows educators to focus on specific aspects of gun violence that are most relevant to their students. This flexibility means that the curriculum can address topics such as trauma response, conflict resolution, legal consequences, or de-escalation techniques based on the student population's needs.
Scalable interventions: Modules can be expanded or condensed depending on the time available or the group's progress.
This makes the model suitable for both short-term interventions and long-term educational efforts.
3. Holistic Skill Development
6 The model is designed to integrate life skills such as emotional regulation, critical thinking, and communication, which are essential for navigating violent situations. It emphasizes not only the immediate goal of preventing gun use but also long-term resilience and emotional intelligence.
Conflict resolution and mediation training embedded in the curriculum help students learn alternative ways to handle disputes without resorting to violence.
4. Empowering Students as Agents of Change
A youth-centered approach positions students not just as participants but as active learners who can take leadership roles in advocating for non-violence within their peer groups and communities. By empowering youth to become educators or ambassadors for peace, the program leverages peer influence, which is often more impactful than external authorities.
Leadership development: Some modules focus on community leadership and advocacy, equipping students to become advocates against gun violence, further amplifying the program's reach and influence.
5. Psychological and Social Support
Trauma-informed modules recognize the impact of gun violence and its associated trauma, offering coping strategies, support resources, and healing practices for those who have already experienced violence.
Providing peer support or facilitating group discussions to build student solidarity, making them feel less isolated in their experiences and more supported in making positive choices.
6. Data-Driven and Evidence-Based
Our modular-based approach allows for the integration of evidence-based practices that have been shown to reduce violence and promote peace. Educators can continuously update modules with the latest research and proven strategies for gun intervention.
Measurable outcomes: Modules allow for easier tracking of progress and impact. Our Peer Educators can adjust based on real-time feedback from students, refining the curriculum to better meet the learners' needs.
7. Sustainability and Long-Term Impact
By providing tools and frameworks that students can use beyond the classroom, this model encourages long-term behavior change. This reduces the likelihood of recidivism into violent behaviors or environments.
Community integration: Modules include components that involve family or community leaders, creating a broader network of support for students and fostering environments where non-violence is actively promoted.
8. Reducing Systemic Violence
Preventative measures through education can help students avoid interactions with the criminal justice system. By providing alternatives to gun use and teaching about the systemic consequences of violence, the model helps reduce the cycle of violence and incarceration in marginalized communities.
Addressing root causes of violence, such as economic disenfranchisement, racial inequality, or lack of opportunities, helps students understand the broader social forces at play and empowers them to challenge these systems constructively.
Our customizable modular-based gun intervention and violence prevention model equips high-risk high school students with practical tools for avoiding violence, fosters a sense of agency, provides trauma-informed support, and engages them in broader efforts to create safer communities. Its flexibility and ability to meet students where they are, both literally and
7 figuratively, make it a powerful tool in the fight against gun violence.
Brother 2 Brother – Workforce Development Expansion
Brother 2 Brother seeks to expand its impact by adding a workforce development component through a Social Enterprise model. The program will launch a food truck initiative that provides youth with hands-on food preparation and culinary training. This model is designed to create both employment pathways and entrepreneurial opportunities for participants.
The long-term goal is to establish a self-sustaining enterprise that helps offset the cost of future gang prevention and intervention programs.
