FY 2012-2013 Work Plan
Develop an improved working relationship with area hotels to expand potential activities and
opportunities related to use of the Veteran’s Memorial Auditorium for programs and activities that
would bring in additional out of town visitors to our community.
Status: Culver City hotels have been personally contacted and pitched co-promotional ideas. New
web pages for Veterans Memorial Complex have been developed and posted on the City website with
links to the Visitors, Business, Resident and Cultural Affairs sections. Rental Office procedures have
been updated to include a specific rental email address to provide more accessibility. More performing
arts organizations and Culver City Performing Arts Grant Program recipients have been encouraged
to perform at Veterans Memorial Building to attract more visitors and residents. New tables, chairs,
and risers have been selected for Veterans Memorial Building to enhance the meeting and event
rooms. WiFi is being investigated for Veterans Memorial Building and the Teen Center to attract more
users.
Continue to work with the Culver City Senior Citizens Associati on, Inc. (CCSCA) to develop and
execute a MOU formalizing the terms of the relationship between the City and the CCSCA.
Status: The MOU framework has been edited by City staff. The MOU process has been delayed by
the change of leadership in CCSCA’s Board of Directors. Staff will continue to work with the new
Executive to secure a MOU.
The Volunteer Program will start two Experience Corps pilot programs, one utilizing a City
Department and the other a local Culver City non-pr ofit. We aim to complete the first three steps
within the first six months of the Fiscal year: Identifying partner agen cy, identifying program and
project needs and recruitment of skilled volunteers. The intermediate steps we aim to complete in the
latter half of the Fiscal Year are: Interview and screening volunteers, placement and training and
beginning project work.
Status: Our pilot City Hall Corps program began in July of 2012 and resulted in twelve volunteers
being placed in six different City departments. Volunteers were interviewed, screened, matched and
surveys were given to both staff and volunteers. A follow-up meeting was held with all volunteers 3
months after placement to assess progress and success of the matches. As of January 24, 2013 nine of
these placements are still active. We have identified the Culver City Adult School G.E.D. Program as
our outside partner agency and have begun recruiting volunteers; so far the adult school has
interviewed four potential tutoring volunteers.

Through the Culver City After-School Program, increase the participant’s physical fitness in an effort
to fight obesity and to promote health active lifestyles by implementing the NFL Play 60 physical
fitness activities, healthy snacks and the dairy Council’s nutrition education program.
Status: Staff follows the NFL guidelines as outlined in the materials by offering students
recommended recreational activities. We have also issued to the students the Dairy Council’s guide to
Healthy Nutrition. Staff supervises and leads students in actives from the Dairy Council’s Workbook
for arts & crafts enrichment.
Research innovative ways to gain new sponsorships to support operational needs which engage youth
in activities and programs that build self-esteem, preparation for higher education, health lifestyles, and
physical and emotional well-being for participants at the CC Teen Center.
Status: Staff have partnered with several organizations in an effort to achieve this goal. The Culver
City Rotary Club, UCLA BruinCorps and Theta Epsilon Sigma of Culver City will continue their
fundraising partnerships during this fiscal year. Just recent, Jersey Mike’s sponsored a fundraiser to
support the Teen Center’s operational goals. Staff continues to research local non-profits that focus
on youth development and healthy lifestyles. Staff will also examine opportunities at the upcoming
California Parks Recreation Society (CPRS) conference in March.
Research new or preexisting grants that will allow the Youth Mentoring program to continue in the
coming years.
Status: Grant opportunities are being researched on an on-going basis but appropriate grant funding
for this program has not been identified to date.
Continue to monitor and evaluate the progress of the Counselor in Training program to better serve the
teen population.
Status: The last two years, we have offered the Counselor in Training Program but the interest has
not been there as such it has not been successful. This past summer there were no sign ups for the
program. As such, staff is looking into alternate ways to offer a program to train youth in the
recreation profession by researching similar programs in the local area to gain more information on
marketing, application process, fees, and training point associate with Counselor in Training
programs.
