CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
Subiect:
Resolution of the City of San Bernardino ratifYing submittal of a Letter of Interest to Kaiser
Permanente for funding in the amount of $25,000 to provide the Parks, Recreation and
Community Services Department Swim Program at Nunez Pool for the 2010 summer season.
Back2round:
Due to the City's budget constraints, only the Jerry Lewis Family Swim Center was originally
scheduled to open for the 2009 summer season last year. The Department and the Mayor's
Office identified two alternative funding strategies to augment the 2009 swim season: $25,000
from the Mayor's Office Professional/Contractual account and a $20,000 grant from Kaiser
Permanente Medical Center.
The additional funding enabled the swimming pools at Ruben Campos/Nunez and Hernandez to
be opened without delay and to stay open for the balance of the 2009 swim season, which ended
on August 29th, 2009. In addition, the Department opened the pool at Mill Park, from July 20th
through August 29th, 2009. The grant also provided for limited free swimming lessons for low-
income youth at Ruben Campos/Nunez and Hernandez pools.
The Nation's and City's economic hard times are expected to continue into the Fiscal Year 2010-
2011. Despite the negative financial forecast, Kaiser is once again awarding grants for the
upcoming summer season. A Community Benefit Grant from Kaiser Permanente Fontana
Medical Center award of $25,000 will allow the Department to offer open swim and free swim
instruction in the summer of2010 to the community surrounding the Ruben Campos Community
Center/Nunez Park area, which is in need of this city service. The Letter of Interest was due to
Kaiser on November 30, 2009 and submitted by staff on November 16, 2009. Although Kaiser
did not advertise award notice dates, staff expects to receive notification in January.
Financial Impact:
A Letter of Interest for grant funding in the amount of $25,000 is being requested from Kaiser
Permanente to provide the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department Swim
Program at Nunez Pool for the 2010 summer season. There is no City cash match requirement.
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution.

o ORGANIZATION'S NAME, DESCRIPTION/HISTORY:
City of San Bernardino; The City of San Bernardino ("City") is one
of Southern California's most historic and fastest changing
communities. Incorporated in 1854, the City's 205,000 residents
make it the second largest municipality east of Los Angeles and
18th largest in California. The City's elevation is 1,049 feet above
sea level and encompasses the area of approximately 59.3 square
miles. As the county seat of San Bernardino County, it lies in the
midst of the booming Inland Empire region. The City was founded
early in California's history, and its Bicentennial Celebration is
scheduled for 2010. Influences of Native Americans, Mexican
settlers, Spanish missionaries, and Mormon emigrants can still be
seen throughout the City today. From 1910 when Franciscan
missionary Father Dumetz named the area San Bernardino to the
present, San Bernardino - nestled south of the San Bernardino
Mountains and west of the lower desert - has been recognized for
its scenic beauty and strategic location.
San Bernardino has a wide variety of recreational attractions and
entertainment venues. From playing golf at one of its many public
and private golf courses, to a 30-60 minute drive to mountains,
skiing, deserts, beaches, resorts, and world-class cultural and
sporting events, a variety of activities for all ages is available to
residents and visitors. San Bernardino enjoys some of America's
finest weather, with its Mediterranean-type temperatures. Like the
rest of the Southland, the community enjoys the fruits of 30 years of
improving air quality, culminating in no smog alerts in 1999 and
only 30 days of unhealthy air in 2005.
San Bernardino is an ethnically diverse City with an above average
proportion of households having children under 18 years of age and
a below average income profile. The City is projected to grow
slowly over the next 10 to 15 years, after which growth is expected
to increase somewhat until 2035. About 60 percent of the growth
indicated by the build out projection is not expected to occur until
after 2035, according to the most recent Southern California Area
of Governments projections.
The City operates under a hybrid Mayor-Council-City Manager form
of government. The Mayor is elected by the voters at large, and is
the City's Chief Executive Officer. Each of the seven members of
Council is elected by voters within their respective Wards. The
Mayor and Council members serve four-year terms. Under the
supervision of the Mayor, the City Manager is the Chief
Administrative Officer. The City Manager directs most City
Departments, other than those governed by separate boards
(Water Dept., Civil Service, Library) and the office of elected
officials. The City Manager's Office, in addition to assisting the
Mayor and Council in policy formulation, focuses on special
projects. The City of San Bernardino also has an elected City
Attorney, City Treasurer, and City Clerk.
o FEDERAL TAX ID NUMBER: 95-6000772
o CURRENT OPERATING BUDGET: 389-Aquatics/Sports: $311,400
(Aquatics Part-time Wages: $106,100)
o TOTAL PROJECT BUDGET(REQUEST): $414,322 (UNFUNDED
$102,922)
o TOTAL FUNDING REQUEST $25,000
o STATEMENT OF NEED:
The City of San Bernardino 2009-2010 Operating Budget for
Aquatics/Adult Sports is under-funded by $102,922, with
maintenance standards at bare minimum. Part-time personnel has
been reduced by approximately $72,000 ($59,000 program staff,
$13,000 maintenance staff). Due to the City's budget constraints,
only the Jerry Lewis Family Swim Center was originally scheduled
to open for the 2009 summer season. For the 2009 Aquatics
Season, the City of San Bernardino secured $25,000 in a one-time
transfer of funds from the Mayor's Office and $20,000 from the
Kaiser Foundation Hospital Community Benefit Charitable
Contributions Program. This allowed us to open Mill Pool, extend
operations at two other pools, and provide two free swim sessions
at each of the Hernandez and Nunez Pools. Three neighborhood
pools will remain closed for the 2010 Aquatics Season (June-
August). Low-income areas will go under served in water fitness
and water safety (Iearn-to-swim) activities. Residents will need to
go elsewhere in finding other means to stay fit, seek relief from
summer heat, and learn swim skills. Youth obesity and the chronic
illnesses associated with it (asthma, diabetes) will increase, as will
the potential for deaths due to drowning and heat stroke. According
to the Center For Disease Control and Prevention, 36% of middle
school through high school students in the City of San Bernardino
are either overweight or at risk for becoming overweight; that's one
in every three teens. Furthermore, an astonishing 70% do not meet
currently recommended levels of physical activity, and 52% do not
attend physical education classes daily.
o PROGRAM OR PROJECT NAME: Nunez Pool Open Swim and
Learn-To-Swim Program
o INDICATE WHETHER NEW OR CONTINUING PROGRAM:
Continuing Program
o DESCRIPTION:
Open Swim and Learn-To-Swim programs are a part of the Parks,
Recreation and Community Services Department mission in the
municipal recreation and leisure service delivery system. Open
swirn is drop-in water play, six days a week (M-Sat), from 1 :OOp.m.-
3:00p.m. and 3:30p.m. - 5:30p.m. where the community can come
and swim for their health, socialize with friends, and/or cool down
from the hot summer weather. In the Learn-To-Swim program, low
income youth ages 6-16 years are taught basic swim skills and
water safety awareness in a two-week session, 45-minute daily
lesson in a small group setting. Nunez Pool is one of six aquatics
locations programmed in this manner. Swim activities at the 9th
Street Community Center Pool (Boys & Girls Club) and the
Delmann Heights Pool are provided through a partnership with the
Boys & Girls Club of San Bernardino. The Jerry Lewis Family
Swim Center at Perris Hill Park is currently the only swim facility
funded by the City's General Fund. A large portion of the City's at-
risk youth and low-income housing is situated in the Nunez Pool
service area.
o GOAL(S) AND OBJECTIVES:
PRCSD's primary goal through aquatics activities and facilities is to
promote healthier lifestyles, water safety awareness, and a higher
quality of life among community residents. One objective is to offer
swim opportunities to as many under-privileged families (youth,
teen, adult, and seniors) as possible by opening and staffing pools
that provide open swim activities to improve personal health and
fitness. Another objective is to save lives through the provision of
safe learn-to-swim activities that prevent drowning, especially
among youth. A third objective is to provide relief from the extreme
Southern California desert heat for both the young and old
especially. A more fit community will extend lives, reduce
healthcare costs, reduce juvenile crime and delinquency, and
attract greater business investment to further the quality of life of
our residents.
o TARGET POPULATION, AGE GROUP, ETHNICITY, GENDER,
AND GEOGRAPHIC AREA:
The target audience is the general public patronage in and around
the Nunez Park area, in particular the southwest quadrant (Wards 1
& parts of 3 and 6) of the City of San Bernardino. The area
represents much of the City's Hispanic disadvantaged youth (ages
6-17 years) and poor citizenry (seniors included). Especially critical
in this service are those neighbors within walking distance that
cannot afford to travel far for aquatics services.
o NUMBER OF PEOPLE EXPECTED TO REACH/SERVE. NUMBER
REACHED/SERVED THE PREVIOUS YEAR AND SERVICES
PROVIDED: Open Swim attendance at the Nunez Pool for the
2009 Season exceeded 4,400 (3,154 youth under age 18, 1,264
18+ years). The number of people expected to be reached in 1020
is the average of the past fives years (minus a surge in 2007 due to
very hot weather extended through the entire season) at 5,259.
(Note: The attendance at pools increases proportionately with
temperature increases, especially days over 100 degrees
temperature. Similarly, changes in the dates of middle- and high
school breaks/starts drastically affects pool attendance.)
o HOW WILL FUNDS REQUESTED BE UTILIZED (COMPLETE
THE BUDGET TEMPLATE): See attached budget template.
o COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS AND AGENCIES
INVOLVED/PARTNERS: Staffing of the 9th Street Pool (Boys &
Girls Club) and the Delmann Heights Pool is provided by an
agreement/partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of San
Bernardino. Two alternative funding strategies augmented the
2009 summer Swim Program: $25,000 from the Mayor's Office and
$20,000 from the Kaiser Community Benefit Grants Program. The
independent San Bernardino Water Department currently
supplements water use costs, and the City is working with Southern
California Edison at the Jerry Lewis Family Swim Center in their
Energy Conservation Rebate Program.
