Backllround: The City has participated in the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) federally funded program for over 32 years. In the last three years, over 323 participants contributed more than 103,242 hours annually. This grant will enable the City to continue providing these services. This program provides funding toward the cost of two full-time and one part-time staff, a Program Manager and a Coordinator of Volunteers. Forty-nine percent of the cost of program salaries is paid from the General Fund. The Program Manager and the Coordinator of ._ Volunteers recruit volunteers, provide work sites for volunteer participation, make site visits, and \...... prepare reports according to grant requirements. RSVP acquires new volunteers through active recruitment, by self-referral or through inquiry and registration at any of our RSVP sites. Once assigned to a site, the RSVP volunteers are under the supervision and auspices of internal regulations and policies of said site. Other requirements and responsibilities such as uniforms, badges, background checks, fingerprinting, specialized training or skills are the sole responsibility of the volunteer and may be provided by each agency where applicable. The policies and guidelines that the RSVP volunteers operate under are stipulated in an MOV between the site and RSVP and are updated every three years. .-' In the event that RSVP volunteers are assigned to a City of San Bernardino project or site, they would then be under any policies and guidelines established by the City. RSVP volunteers could mentor and tutor children; those volunteers who will be working with children undergo background checks through the Police Department prior to commencing their work with children. The City currently has no RSVP volunteers working with children. RSVP volunteers also provide transportation to seniors and participate with local law enforcement as Citizens on Patrol (COP). RSVP volunteers do not receive pay, but can request up to $15 per month as reimbursement for their transportation expenses paid for by the grant funds. The grant is an e-grant, which requires the applicant to complete the application online. This grant was due to the Corporation for National and Community Service on July 21, 2007. The Department received a Notice of Grant Award in the amount of$58,436 dated October 16,2007. The agenda item was delayed pending completion of an internal review of volunteer processing. "- r '-' ,'-" '- -~ '- Financial ImDact: The City provides matching funds for local travel, long distance travel, supplies, other volunteer support costs, salaries and fringe benefits for two full-time and one part-time employees, a program manager and a coordinator of volunteers, in the amount of $41,300, budgeted in the grant match line item, 001-386-5193 (General Fund). The City also provides $14,237 ofin-kind for accounting personnel, postage, telephone, volunteer meals, printing and office space. Combined in-kind contributions total $55,537.

Only --- Narratives Strengthening Communities Strengthening Communities The City of San Bernardino's RSVP currently serves 50% of the San Bernardino County population (potentially 704,314 of its 1,418,362 residents). The service area covers 8,067.32 square miles. Cities served include: San Bernardino, Highland, Yucaipa, Redlands, Grand Terrace, Colton, The San Bernardino mountain areas and High Desert communities of Phelan, Hesperia, Victorville, Apple Valley, Hinkley and Newberry Springs. In the more metropolitan areas, needs appear to lean more toward issues of education, health and nutrition, community and economic development and most especially, with this past year's increase in ,,-,. murders in San Bernardino County, there is the issue of public safety. The more rural and isolated communities have needs more directly related to the human needs and community and economic development areas. Information provided by the San Bernardino County Depllrtment of Aging and Adult Services, administrative personnel of several area school districts and local law enforcement agencies, suggest the needs of most communities within our service area are the same. SERVICES WITH COLLABORATIVE AGENCIES: RSVP will continue working with the County Health Department and the City's Center for Individual Development (CID) to provide public information and assistance primarily within the senior populations of our service area. Current medical information and the availability of services are shared with all of our project participants on a regular basis. Some pamphlets are also provided by the ........... Community Hospital of San Bernardino. These items are then distributed by volunteers and staff at the senior centers. For OIIIel.1 Use Only Page 2 For OIIIelol Use Only - ......... Narratives We generally participate in at least one senior health and fitness fair annually and at other events that present opportunities to handout information on the various aspects of volunteer service and to highlight the community partnerships with which our program collaborates. This includes, but is not limited to, programs and projects under our local sponsor - the City of san Bernardino Parks, Recreation & Community Services Dept. SENIOR NUTRITION SERVICES: ......... RSVP works with the PR&CS Department's Senior Nutrition Services, a County sponsored, federal grant funded program. Currently, a majority of our volunteers are in placements to help with the facilitation of the nutrition program. The County has stated that with the ever increasing growth of the senior population, it is essential for the programs to be maintained and expanded in San Bernardino County. Not only are they vital for nutritional reasons but they play an even more important aspect in socialization. Volunteers are then in place to encourage lunchtime participants to join in other activities provided at the same locations. Volunteers at these locations also provide the extra work force needed to help with the Health Department's immunization programs that provide free flu and pneumonia shots on an annual basis. . The auxiliary volunteers at the Community Hospital of San Bernardino and San Bernardino County - Hospital provide information throughout the community at various times of the year for families with For OIIIelol u.e Only Page 3 For OlIIc1al Uoo Only ,- '-' Narratives young children and provide low-cost or free immunizations. Our volunteers serving on the west-side of San Bernardino at the 16th St. Seventh-Day Adventist Church provide assistance for people throughout the community. They also serve as back up to the Community Hospital's Disaster Program by making quilts which they have stock piled if blankets run out at the hospital. INFORMATION & REFERRAL SERVICES '-' The County projects a sharp increase in the senior population as the baby boomers reach 60, with the over 75 age group being the fastest growing age group. Statistics show that between the year 2010- 2030 seniors will account for 20% or better of the overall population. This means not only will RSVP be challenged to find interesting volunteer assignments, but also to meet the rising requests from our currently established partners, as their need for volunteers increases. In order to fulfill the ever increasing senior population's need for assistance and services, RSVP works with the staffs of Senior Information and Assistance at the Department of Aging and Adult Services, San Bernardino Adult School, Highland Senior Center, and the City of San Bernardino's Senior and Community Centers. Volunteers are trained to work with staff to provide diverse, quality services and' to provide information for seniors on various needs. ""- For OlIIelal Use Only Page 4 For OfIIcI.,lllla Only - --- Narratives SAN BERNARDINO ADULT SCHOOL SERVICES: We have strengthened our partnership with San Bernardino Adult School staff. Our volunteers assist and facilitate seniors in computer literacy, as well as recreational activities. Department of Aging information and observation of participants have shown that participating in mentally stimulating and or physical activities can improve the quality of life and longevity of our senior population. Because of the seniors' participation in our programs, improvement is shown in their demeanor and appearance, and there is marked improvement in socialization skills. ,.- """"'" SENIOR TRANSPORTATION SERVICES: Transportation services do not serve all remote areas. Services are extremely inadequate in the high desert and mountain communities and do not always meet the needs of seniors or individuals with disabilities. They are generally high cost and require 24 hour notice. This is a continuing high priority need. RSVP volunteers are currently participating in Highland Senior Center's Transportation Assistance Program (TAP) but fill only a small portion of the area's need. Without this transportation alternative, seniors are at the mercy of private, high cost individuals or businesses in order to go to the doctor, get groceries and medicine or just to alleviate isolation. RSVP will continue its endeavors with Highland Senior Center to increase the number of available drivers to meet the needs of an everincreasing client list. '- Friendly Visitor volunteers serving in the remote and rural areas of Hinkley and Newberry Springs For OfIIcl.llllla Only PageS For amelll Uoo Only ",- "'-' Narratives continue to provide their senior neighbors with transportation into Barstow for doctor visits, grocery shopping and social activities. INCOME TAX PREPARATION ASSISTANCE: Considering that county statistics show 72% of the elderly residents over the age of 65 live at or below the poverty level, tax consulting and preparation are provided by RSVP volunteers at both Perris Hill and 5th Street Senior Services Centers at no charge. These volunteers serve for three months a year and see hundreds of people who could not afford to have their taxes done or do not understand certain ""- nuances of tax law that relate directly to seniors. The 'clients' trust the volunteers who are their peers in relation to age. PUBUC SAFETY SERVICES: Public Safety remains this RSVP's key focus. In a county known for its high crime rate, and this year the increase in murders and gang related violence, challenges are being tackled by our Citizen Patrols (COPs) and California Highway Patrol (CHP) volunteers. We are continuing to work with law enforcement agencies to train their staff and volunteers as Fraud Fighters. Fraud Fighters then work internally in the community to educate others about telecommunication fraud, especially against seniors. "- For Otlielal Uoo Only Page 6 For OIIIcl.. ..... Only ........ Narratives As a normal part of their volunteering duties, the CO Ps and CHPs address other issues including education on the proper use of child safety seats, finger printing children for identification purposes. vacation watch and disaster preparation. RSVP volunteers are making a significant impact on all issues of public safety within our service area. This includes the area of elder abuse as well. We continue to work closely with the Victim/Witness Program, the DA's office and DAAS and their staff at Adult Protective Services as well as AARP and are looking for funding options to hold another area- wide community training for the seniors and volunteers. We are currently in discussion with the office of Senator Bob Dutton to work on this issue. Recruibnent and Development '--. Recruitment and development Recruitment and training will be determined and developed around specific targeted efforts to meet the national service priorities with consideration of each community's area of need; increasing the quality of volunteer experience by inclusion in the selection of projects and planning and guaranteeing levels of promotion and responsibilities. Opportunities to serve as Team Leaders and trainers will be developed to oversee and assist in the effort to increase station participation and in the recruitment and training of new volunteers. In June of 2007. we began seeking new collaborators to work with us developing a community "Transition Center" which would focus on addressing the needs of the rising tide of baby boomers. Initial partners include San Bernardino Adult School. Inter Valley Health Plan (IVHP) and Hesperia Adult School. We have our 2nd steering committee scheduled for July 21st and which will also --. include members of our advisory council. Focus will be people transitioning from the workforce into the next chapter of their lives. I ncluded in discussion has been the start of a Senior Leadership For OIlIel.1 Uat Only Page 7 - '- - '- '- For OlIIci.1 U. Only Narratives Academy so that the recipients of the training may then utilize their new skills to teach other seniors and or act as a peer counseling facilitator. New brochures and handouts will be the focus for this grant cycle. We wish to increase the quality of materials currently being distributed and utilized. By designing something we can distribute in public venues as well as volunteer training sessions, we will keep things functional and economical. Items will need to have substantial boomer appeal and be something to entice those who are still working; to be used as we venture out to have discussions with up and coming retirees oflocal companies and businesses. Program Management Program management We will continue to utilize the Volunteer Works database for updating records and files on an ongoing basis to ensure the most current information is available for reporting at any time. Join Senior Service Now (JASON) is currently being used for online recruiting and staff are working on expanding the available listings. A monthly station request for data, information & update form will still be a required report for site supervisors to include with the timesheet submissions or check verification signed sheets. This tool will be used to notify RSVP staff for changes to station, staff and their volunteers, as well as any specific needs or requests they may have for the RSVP office. The form will also be used for data collection relevant to national service priorities for outcome reporting and verification. An annual project assessment and/or update survey will be sent to all volunteers. This information will allow RSVP to keep records up to date even more so, as well as analyze overall satisfaction of For OlIIci.1 U.

We will continue to seek volunteer and station collaboration and participation for fundraising endeavors to increase financial resources that will be used to cover related expenses for training, recognition and outside evaluation costs as required. We will also seek other in-kind contributions or sharing options that can be cooperatively exchanged for mutual benefits with other partners and community collaborations. Organizational Capacity Organizational Capacity The City of San Bernardino's RSVP project has been under the sponsorship of the Parks, Recreation - '-' and Community Services (PR&CS) Department for over 32years. Kevin Hawkins, the new Director of PR&CS, has been over to see us and talk to us about the RSVP and what were working on right now. This meant the overview of our program and the Transition Center concept along with a brief discussion of my involvement with CNCS and our newly formed Affinity Group for putting a new face to our RSVP in the future. Support, leadership and supervision is also provided byCurtis Brown, our Recreation Superintendent and Aaliyah Harkley, Senior Recreation Supervisor. Ms. Harkley acts as our RSVP staffs immediate supervisor. The project manager, Nancy Clatfelter, with over thirteen years experience, and the coordinator of volunteers, Teresa Dobbs with over eight years with both RSVP & SCP, have established an extensive network of people to provide assistance with assessing community needs and sharing/providing training and technical assistance. Teri , although currently serving as Acting Manager for SCP, may '- still return to her Coordinator position with RSVP. Jamilla Cornell, Recreation Aide, has been working in an assistant capacity with RSVP until such time as staffing needs for RSVP and SCP have been For OIIIel., \loa Only Page 9 ,- '- "-' "-' For OIIIclol U. Only Narratives reviewed and the hiring process gone through. Goals and objectives are provided to the department by the RSVP Manager and Coordinator of Volunteers on a regular basis and/or as part of the annual performance appraisal process. At this writing, Budget reviews are done by the Parks Administration Staff and the City's Finance Department. The Finance Department distributes quarterly financial status reports, which are reviewed by the project director. The Finance Department also handles the financial status reporting in the electronic reporting programs. Also new this year (2007) is that the Finance Dept. began direct mailing of reimbursement checks to the volunteers at home. This is a very practical and economic savings to us as now there is less handling of the checks and Finance pays to mail them. PR&CS Department administrators encourage attendance at seminars and training venues that support the staff and program. The RSVP Advisory Council usually conducts an annual assessment of the project and staff. Other N/A PNS Amendment (if applicable) N/A For OIIIclol U.
