CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
Subiect:
Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino authorizing the
City Manager to approve a Facility Lease Agreement between the City of San Bernardino and
Project Fighting Chance to provide community and youth services at Perris Hill Community
Center (previously A Special Place Children's Museum).
Backe:round:
In FY04-05 the City entered into an agreement with a local non-profit to create a hands on
children's museum (known as A Special Place Children's Museum) at the Coddington Library
Building, located at Perris Hill Park. In FY07-08, the organization terminated their tenancy due
to financial constraints and the facility has been vacant ever since.
In an effort to revitalize programming and services at this site, while maintaining a "zero" impact
to the General Fund, the Department is proposing a standard Facility Lease Agreement between
the City and Project Fighting Chance for the exclusive use of facilities at what will be known as,
the Perris Hill Community Center. Project Fighting Chance (PFC) is a non-profit organization
whose mission is to provide a support system for local youth. By integrating the community,
educating and nurturing the lives of "at-risk" youth, PFC teaches youth to become contributing
members of society. PFC has proposed community and youth programming for the Perris Hill
Community Center in the following areas: after school programs and tutoring, youth sports,
mentoring, life skills workshops, physical activity classes and vocational construction training.
A description of all services is outlined in the Lease Agreement and Scope of Services, included
in Attachment "1" of the Resolution. PFC programs will not replace existing City or County
activities, but rather enhance the service offerings with additional resources that compliment the
center's calendar and schedule.
Financial Imoact:
There is no cost to enter into an agreement with PFC, however terms of the service contract
include facility improvements and beautification projects to be completed by PFC, estimated at
$10,000 annually, in exchange for community center use and access to city and county program
participants. PFC will directly provide all utilities, maintenance, and janitorial costs at the center.
Recommendation:
Adopt resolution
