BACKGROUND Originally, the Arrow Route Center was known as the Neighborhood Center. It was obtained by the City from the County which had operated it as a social service facility over 25 years ago. Once staffed by the City, the Neighborhood Center developed into a community center that provided a variety of senior, youth and adult programs and services. Many of the services were originally developed to meet the needs of the Northtown community. Later on, it became a Senior Center that catered more specifically to seniors including services for all ages of the community. When the James L. Brulte Senior Center at Central Park opened up in May of 2005, all of the existing senior and service programs moved to the new Central Park facility. The Arrow Route Center then became a temporary home to the Theater Arts Center while the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center was undergoing design and construction. Once the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center was completed and the Arrow facility was vacated, the question arose how to most effectively utilize the Arrow Route Center to serve the community. To answer this question, staff began to hold informal discussions with local service providers to determine the needs of the community with an emphasis on the Northtown area (Exhibit 4). Staff then scheduled a meeting with the City Council Community Services Sub- committee on June 7, 2006 and a workshop with the full City Council on June 21, 2006 to review basic options for effective re-use of the Arrow Route Center. Please see the attached staff report (Exhibit 5) and minute excerpt (Exhibit 6) from that Council meeting. At this meeting, the City Council directed staff to explore the option of developing a "resource mall" that would provide program space for a number of non- profit service providers in order to better serve Rancho Cucamonga. QTY COUNQL WORKSHOP PncE 2 CONSIDERATION OF APROPOSED ARROW ROUTE CENTER "VISION" APRIL 4, 2007 FINDINGS Staff developed a vision paper that further explains how this "Resource Mall" concept might work and what types of specific services and activities would be provided by local service providers. This would include mostly programs by local non-profit groups but would also include programs from the City, school districts and churches that serve Rancho Cucamonga. Programs offered would include drug prevention and counseling, immunization clinics, support groups, parenting classes, financial counseling and classes, food and clothing assistance, vocational classes, English classes, tutoring and many more. In addition, recreation programs and classes would also be offered by the City and some of the non-profit groups such as the YMCA and the Camp Fire Girls. This facility would be staffed by a City Coordinator and part-time building staff. The Coordinator would be responsible for promoting use of the facility with non-profit service clubs and would manage the facility. In addition, the Coordinator would also generate some revenue to help offset some of the staffing and building costs by seeking sponsorships, providing some fee based classes and coordinating the application for grant funding. If this concept is approved by the City Council, staff would suggest that an Action Plan be developed so that every potential issue is identified and addressed before opening the facility. This may include further discussions with the non-profit service organizations to confirm their participation, implementation dates, development of policies on the operation of this facility and groups, brochure development that advertises the facility offerings and other potential issues. The goal would be to submit a budget for 07-08 and begin operation in the fall or winter of 2007. FISCAL IMPACT Cost to staff and supply such a facility would be approximately $117,000 per year. This includes afull-time Community Services Coordinator and part-time building assistants to perform room set ups and attend to public inquiries plus necessary clerical and building duties. The cost to maintain and clean this facility, as well as utilities, is currently budgeted. Revenue for the first year would be minimal and probably limited to sponsorships of $12,000. Grant requests would be submitted this first year while the revenue wouldn't be received until subsequent years. sped s miffed, evin McArdle, Community Services Director Attachments: Exhibit 1 Exhibit 2 Exhibit 3 Exhibit 4 Exhibit 5 Exhibit 6 A Vision, Arrow Route Center Arrow Route Center Proposed Use Model Arrow Route Center Potential Service Providers Agency Interviews of Northtown Service Providers June 21 City Council Workshop Staff Report June 21 City Council Workshop Minutes Exhibit 1 A VISION ARROW ROUTE CENTER Based upon a previous discussion with the City Council, staff has developed a vision for the Arrow Route Facility that addresses the community's more critical human services needs. The goal is to create a "Resource Mall" that would include many non-profit service organizations as program tenants to this facility. In particular, staff would concentrate on organizations that serve the south portion of Rancho Cucamonga, with particular emphasis on the Northtown area. As tenants, these organizations would partner with the City by providing services to the community out of this center. The City would staff and manage the facility; in addition, staff would recruit additional organizations to use programmable space at the center. The City would maintain the facility and staff to insure that it remains a quality facility with highly effective programs. Attached to this "Vision" is a colorized model that demonstrates the relationships of most of the key programs and organizations and how they will be managed. 1. CITY STAFF WILL MANAGE THE FACILITY A minimal level of staff can manage a very effective facility by partnering with a large number of non-profit community service organizations. It is suggested that one new full-time Community Services Coordinator and five to six part-time building attendants' (8:00 a.m.-g:00 p.m., Mon-Fri) positions be created to manage this facility and the various non-profit organizations that utilize this center. This level of staff would enable the facility to be open Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and on weekends when necessary; and serve thousands of residents per year. This staff would be skilled and able to supervise and coordinate the use of the building, develop annual community needs analysis, promote partnerships with non-profit organizations, be responsible for grant applications and seek sponsorships to help pay for some of the incurred costs. 2. VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS WOULD PROVIDE COMMUNITY SERVICES a. Citv Programs: This might include educational classes for pre-kindergarten students, tutoring programs for elementary and middle school aged children, and human services information and referral services offered by other agencies. b. Cucamonga School District Programs: The school district is interested in eventually assisting in pre-kindergarten programs that emphasize English instruction as well. The district is also willing to partner in grant funded programs that offer more tutoring or instruction assistance in addition to family nutrition assistance programs. c. Northtown Collaborative Proorams: The Northtown Housing Development Corporation and local groups will bring human services and recreation programs to this facility that will provide much needed services to the Northtown area. Staff will also develop programs for those who reside south of Arrow that are also in need but not necessarily of the Northtown area. City staff will be exploring additional funding sources and grants that may enhance opportunities for this area of town. 1 d. Non-Profit Service Groups: City staff will be working with a variety of non-profit organizations to provide a significant number of services to the residents of Rancho Cucamonga with an emphasis on those who reside south of Arrow Route and especially in the Northtown area. Most of these groups have been involved in our community for years and staff has built a positive working relationship with them already. This will be the largest use of the facility and will include a myriad of services and could include between 50 to 100 non-profit organizations in the next few years. Staff will continue to promote this facility to existing and new non-profit organizations that are human service or recreation based that also may benefit this area of town. See attached matrix for a listing of potential agencies that are currently envisioned for this facility. 3. PROGRAMS AND SERVICES NEEDED WITHIN THE COMMUNITY The services and activities envisioned for this facility have been compiled based upon staffs experience with the area and interviews with the various service organizations that provide community services. The vast majority of these services and activities will be coordinated by a number non-profit organizations and churches. See attached matrix for a listing of potential programs. Some of the more prevalent services that are in high demand for this area are as follows: • Life Skills programs and classes that teach young adults and older teens how to successfully deal with life's challenges such as parenting classes, support groups (women's', bereavement, mothers', etc) and counseling (legal, insurance and employment) and intervention programs. Financial Literacy Programs that teach adults how to successfully build and manage their own income such as financial classes, financial counseling, income tax preparation assistance, • Food and Clothing assistance such as distribution of weekly groceries, school clothes and other clothing needs. Medical Assistance such as children's immunization clinics, vision and hearing screening, family wellness workshops and nutrition classes, drug prevention and counseling. • Vocational Classes such as job skills workshops and a possible partnership with Chaffey Adult Education to provide vocational classes that teach specific job skills. These classes will hopefully enhance residents' ability to successfully apply for skilled job or career opportunities. Recreation programs and classes that enhance each individual's quality of life through a collaboration of City and non-profit organizations such as the YMCA and Camp Fire Girls who will provide after school and evening programs for both children and adults. • Educational assistance programs that include English instructional classes for pre- school aged children and adults, tutoring, computer and technology classes, and home emergency classes. 4. BUILDING SPACES AVAILABLE FOR ACTIVITIES a. Human Service and Recreation Non-Profit Groups: Most non-profit groups would not be able to pay for activity space but would be the most significant users of this facility providing services to local residents. This refers to all of the non-profit organizations providing necessary human services and recreation 2 ,/ programs. Because they provide services for free to residents and are usually under-funded, they lack the financial resources to pay for the use of facilities. Most of these groups' funding is usually applied to their general operating expenses such as staff, office lease and products that are distributed to those in need. Most programming space is obtained by using facilities where there is no or very little cost to their organization. They might have some funding that could be used for those special occasions throughout the year when they may have an event, party or fundraiser that wouldn't normally qualify for a fee waiver and could result in some rental revenue to the City. b. Churches: Staff has been in contact with some local churches that are also interested in partnering with the City to provide human services assistance for residents. Some of these churches are willing to provide volunteers and even willing to consider some potential program sponsorship that would benefit the Northtown area. Listed below are those program areas that some churches have expressed an interest in providing through the Arrow Route Facility: Parenting Classes • Financial Counseling • Operation School Bell • Food and Clothing • Use of church owned recreation facilities (Pools and gyms) 5. POTENTIAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE a. Sponsorships: Staff will spend some of their time developing sponsorship opportunities to help fund some of the City sponsored and Northtown collaborative recreation and service programs housed at this facility. b. Fee Classes: There may be some programs that have a fee or partial fee to help fund some of the recreation programs offered at this facility. c. Grants: Staff will initiate grant requests to help fund various programs and hopefully reimburse some building costs.

The intent of these interviews was to determine what some of the more significant recreation and service needs might be for the Northtown community. Staff has provided a list of those non-profit agencies that were interviewed and what their recommendations were for the old Senior Center. Staff (Dave Moore, Community Services Superintendent and Cathleen Garner, Community Services Coordinator of Human Services and Volunteers) had interviewed ten non-profit agencies and they are as follows: I. NORTHTOWN HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION The Northtown Housing Development Corporation currently operates a community center and day care facility in the Northtown community. They provide some drop in activities at the center and some social services. They also partner with the City in providing additional programs for low-income Northtown residents. The City has expanded recreation and social service offerings to that same community but in a manner that has been assisting Nacho and his staff. The City and most other non- profit agencies have always considered Nacho Gracia as the spokesperson for the Northtown Community. Agency staff: Nacho Gracia, Executive Director Mary Rocha. Coordinator (Northtown Community Center) Their recommendations included the following ideas and are listed in the order of priority: 1. Boxing Facility (Nacho Gracia) 2. Boys Club/Girls Club (Nacho Gracia) 3. Health Clinic (Mary Rocha) II. MERCY HOUSE The Mercy House is anon-profit agency that provides assistance to parents who have children. They believe that if they can assist the parents to become better parents then their children will benefit significantly. They currently serve the Northtown area by providing parents hotel and food vouchers, financial training and assistance in completing forms such as loan applications, apartment applications, how to properly use and reconcile a checking account, how to develop a family budget, etc. They are based in Ontario and are relatively new to the Northtown area (2005). Agency Staff: Judy Saul Her recommendations include the following ideas and are listed in the order of their priority: 1 1. Family Medical Clinic: Would include check-ups for all ages, her comment- ed that a lost of the children hadn't received check- ups since they were infants. 2. Children Services: Distribution of food and clothing. 3. Life Skills Workshops & Individual Counseling: This type of activity would include some of the services that they are known for including: • Assistance in completing job applications Assistance in completing Financial Aid Applications Assistance in completing applications for all other services. 4. Information Referral 5. ESL Classes 6. Senior Lunch Program 7. Feeding program for children on the weekends III. ABUNDANT LIVING FAMILY CHURCH The Abundant Living Family Church is active in the Northtown area but is also relatively new to the area. They are currently based in Rancho Cucamonga and they are in the middle of constructing their new facility. It will include a 30-acre site with a church that seats 3,500 people and will include two gymnasiums, one Olympic size pool, two baseball fields and one soccer field. The site is located on Civic Center Drive and Red Oak just south of Foothill Blvd. They are interested in providing field space for local youth sports groups and a facility that can be used by the Northtown residents. Staff had suggested conducting swim lessons and other activities at this facility for the Northtown community. He was very much interested in this type of facility use. However, he was more interested in providing services and activities out of their new facility versus recommending uses of the old Senior Center. Agency Staff: Danny Limon, Pastor His recommendations as far as indoor needs for the Northtown community include the following ideas and are listed in the order of their priority: 1. Food bank 2. Housing 3. Intervention programs 4. Financial Literacy 5. Shared use of facilities activities for non-profit sports groups and North Town Note: Pastor Limon provided these ideas but would prefer to provide them out of their own facility. He also stated that they were more interested in providing their facilities for community use and hosting activities versus conducting the services themselves. 2 ~~ IV. REACH OUT WEST END This agency has been active in the area since 1969 and is based in Upland. Their programs focus on life-skills type issues. One of their more popular programs is their Promitore programs that focus on life-skill type services for women that promote self- esteem, independence, sense of community, etc. Agency Staff: Diana Fox Her recommendations include the following ideas and are listed in the order of priority: 1. Promitore programs: Promoting women's' services type programs that teaches life-skills such as parenting skills, build self esteem, independence, sense of community, etc. These women then go out into the community and teach these life skills to other women. 2. Drug Prevention and Counseling including rehabilitation 3. Non-Profit Service Mall: Where a variety of non-profit agencies shares the facility and provides services to the community from that location. 4. Life Skills Counseling 5. Planned parenthood V. UNITED WAY, NEIGHBORS INACTION & KIDSMART Three agencies decided to be interviewed together in one setting. United Way sponsors numerous agencies and programs. Most people are familiar with the United Way so I won't go into detail on describing their agency. Neighbors in Action is based in Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga and seeks funding for other agencies that provide financial literacy programs in the Northtown area as well as other communities. Kid Smart has been involved in Rancho Cucamonga since 2005 in adopt a family and toy distribution programs. They are involved in a number of communities. All three groups did state that they came together to present one recommendation (Boys & Girls Club). Agency Staff: Carol Baker (United Way) Marco Ramirez (Neighbors in Action) Loraine Ousley (Kidsmart) Their recommendations included the following ideas and are listed in order of priority: 1. Boys & Girls Club: They also commented that if we provided the whole building to the Boys & Girls Club then they could sustain their own costs. If however, we only provide them partial use of the building then they would be expecting the City to subsidize some of their day- to-day operating expenses (copy machine use, utili- ties, etc.) 3 2. Resource Mall: This would involve a number of non-profit service agencies that would be provided office space there and provide programs while the City would manage and maintain the building. Los Angeles has such a facility. 3. Catholic charities 4. Latina House Collaborative (needs office space) 5. After school based programs VI. CUCAMONGA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (Cucamonga School District) It was our intention to speak with someone from the Cucamonga School District that could give us their perspective as to the needs for that area. The referred us to the principal of Cucamonga Elementary School who has been employed by their district for over 18 years and is very knowledgeable of the area's needs. Agency Staff: Shari Biscotti, Principal Her recommendations concerning indoor needs for the Northtown area are as follows and are listed in the order of priority. 1. Pre-school classes: Their preschool program has since replaced the popular Head start program in which pre-school children are brought to the level of other children their ages. 26% of their kindergarten students are learning the English language for the very first time and this puts those students at a severe disadvant- age. Include computer field trips to expose children to other places. 2. ESL Classes: She would like to see more English as a Second Language classes taught to adults so that more parents can begin teaching their pre-school aged children the English language. This would also help their children enter kindergarten without a learning disadvantage. 3. After school recreation programs 4. Turn the facility into a neighborhood facility that provides activities and services for all ages of the Northtown community with an emphasis on youth. 5. Tutoring 6. Youth oriented activities 7. Child/Family friendly programs VII. GAP FOOD BANK This agency is currently located in Rancho Cucamonga and has been here since 1990. Its sole service is to provide food to those in need. They currently serve 300 families on a weekly basis. Their current warehouse is 4,500 square feet and they 4 la- would like a larger warehouse facility. They provide assistance to mostly single moms who are on minimum wage with 3-4 children. However, 20% of their clientele are seniors. Their program basically provides each family one full grocery bag per week. Agency Staff: Pari Blackman Her recommendations are listed as follows and in their order of priority: 1. Food Bank facility 2. Thrift Store VIII. RANCHO CUCAMONGA/FONTANA FAMILY YMCA Staff met with Dianna Lee, Executive Director of the YMCA twice on this issue. They are very much interested in using this facility. Both meetings were very different. During the first meeting, they indicated that they would be interested in it least one good size room to offer after school programs for the Northtown area. They would move their CDBG funded program that used to take place in Old Town Park to the old Senior Center. During the second meeting, Dianna indicated that she would like to lease the whole building to use it as a space for all of their fitness type classes that are conducted at various off-site locations. These classes usually have equipment needs that require significant storage space that they currently lack. She did mention that she would eventually like to look into gymnastic classes and the ability to use equipment. In addition, she would like to use part of this location as a teen center. However, she did state that this intended use would be for the entire community and not just the Northtown area.

' • Offering of ESL (English as Second Language) and other Adult Education classes. • Children's playschool or preschool options with an English emphasis. II. A "Social Service or Resource Mall" operated by City staff. The facility could offer office space and/or program space to various types of non-profit groups. Staff would develop partnerships and promote use of the facility. III. The entire facility could be leased to a specific group such as the YMCA, Boys and Girls Club, etc. • One option could include leasing the facility to the YMCA for direct expenses and they might relocate their programs and services from the Central Park facility. City staff then could use these same areas at Central Park as additional office and activity space for youth programs and room rentals. • Other organizations such as Camp Fire Girls, Boys and Girls Club and Gap Food Bank are also interested in leasing the entire facility. Some of the types of activities that might occur in this facility under these groups are as follows: a. After School Programs (All groups) b. Day Care Program (All groups) c. Summer Day Camp Programs (All groups) d. Fitness Center with exercise equipment (YMCA only) e. Teen, Adult and Senior aerobic type programs (YMCA only) f. Teen Center/Child Watch room (YMCA only) g.

DISCUSSION ON THE FUTURE USE OF THE ARROW ROUTE COMMUNITY CENTER Kevin McArdle, Community Services Director, referred to the memo distributed to the Council. Dave Moore, Community Services Superintendent, talked about the process they went through in interviewing the groups that were identified. Councilmember Gutierrez asked if there was currently enough space for the Playschool Program. Dave Moore, Community Services Superintendent, stated it does continue to grow and that they are always looking for more space, but stated right now it is just fne. Councilmember Gutierrez stated he likes the idea of having this as a place where kids can go after school, including a playschool. Councilmember Williams felt we should partner with other agencies to provide some of the services at the center so we do not have to reinvent the wheel. She stated she is concerned about taking on a whole community center without a current budget for it. Mayor Alexander stated he agreed about not having a budget for it. He did not feel we could commit staff to that facility right now based on all we currently have going on. Councilmember Michael stated he likes the idea of partnering. Councilmember Spagnolo stated he agrees and likes Option No. 2. Councilmember Michael stated he is interested in having a place where other organizations pay to run their operation out of our facility. Councilmember Williams felt there was a lot of opportunity there. M. ADJOURNMENT MOTION: The meeting adjourned at 5:30 p. m. Respectfully submitted, Debra J.
