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. 165 ATTACHMENT D Page 10     SERVICE AREA: GENERAL GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT: PARKS, RECREATION & COMMUNITY SERVICES RESP. MGR.: D. HERNANDEZ          2013-14 BUDGET   FY 2012-2013 Work Plan (continued) 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. 166 Page 11     SERVICE AREA: GENERAL GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT: PARKS, RECREATION & COMMUNITY SERVICES RESP.
