CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
Subiect:
Resolution authorizing the execution of Amendment No. 14 to the Agreement between the City
and Casa Ramona, Inc. to operate a drop-in center located at 1524 West 7th Street, San
Bernardino, California for one additional year.
Backl!:round:
This department has contracted with Casa Ramona, Inc. for operation of Ramona Drop-In Center
since September I, 1983. The center offers information and referral services on a variety of
citizen needs, as well as assistance in completing forms and making applications for various
services and social programs. The center is also a site for the city-sponsored Summer Lunch
Program, which provides free lunches to children. Other services are provided to the poor,
elderly, homeless, unemployed, non-English speaking, new arrivals, and crime victims. City
residents are aided directly and non-city residents are referred to appropriate agencies. The
Hispanic community continues to grow in San Bernardino and these services would benefit a
large number of our citizens in much-needed social services.
The proposed services include assisting clients with a variety of forms, employment and legal
referrals, holiday assistance to needy families and public information/updates. Also included are
referrals for daily needs i.e. housing, food, clothing and etc.; seminars on various community
interest items, social security assistance, Summer Youth Program, translation services, letter
preparation and citizenship information.
The complete Casa Ramona proposal of services with a proposed budget of $50,783 is attached
to this report. If the City were to provide these services, it would cost an estimated $133,017 to
fund a center manager, two administrative clerks, lease fees and supplies. By outsourcing these
services the City saves an estimated $82,234 annually. These fees were based on cost of
operation for the Westside Community Services Center, which provides similar services to those
of Casa Ramona.
Financial Imoact:
The Ramona Drop-In Center contract cost has remained the same since the1990-91 FY with no
increase in compensation. The proposed FY 2004/2005 budget for the Parks, Recreation and
Community Services Administration Division will include $50,800 for this item.
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution.

THE CASA RAMONA DROP N CENTER PROVIDES SAN BERNARDINO

SPECIFIC SERVICES AND PROGRAMS. WHICH THE CENTER PROPOSES TO
PROVIDE DURING THE FISCAL YEAR 2004-2005. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
IS PROVIDED ON ACCOMPANYING PAGES, AN APROXIMATE SCHEDULE

PROGRAMMING IS ALSO INCLUDED.
WE PROVIDE SERVICES TO THOSE WITH THE GREATEST NEED, THE POOR,

SPEAKING, NEW ARRIVALS, AND CRIME VICTIMS. NO ONE IS TURNED
A WAY. SAN BERNARDINO LATINO COMMUNITY CONTINUES TO GROW, AS
DOES THE NEED FOR BILINGUAL SERVICES. CASA RAMONA CONTINUES TO
BE THE MOST DIVERSE SERVICES PROVIDER IN THE COMMUNITY. SAN
BERNARDINO'S RESIDENTS ARE AIDED DIRECTLY AND OTHERS
SOMETIMES ARE REFERRED ELSEWHERE FOR ASSISTANCE, MOST CENTER
CLIENTS RESIDE IN THE SPANISH SPEAKING NEIGHBORHOODS OF THE
CITY'S WEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL AREAS, HOWEVER, WE SEE MANY
PERSONS AT THE CENTER FROM OTHER AREAS THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF
SAN BERNARDINO.
1
,
THE LARGE NUMBER OF DISADVANTAGED PERSONS WITIDN THE
WESTSIDE AND THE NEED FOR THE AVAILABILITY OF PROMPT SERVICES,
MAKE TIllS CENTER AN ESSENTIAL.
THE WESTSIDE NEED TIllS TYPE OF FACILITY. I BELIEVE TIIA T TIllS
CENTER IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE WELL BEING OF THE LARGE NUMBER OF
DISADVANTAGED RESIDENTS OF THE WESTSIDE.
AS YOU ARE PROBABLY AWARE, STATISTICAL DATA REVEALS THOSE
MANY OF THE WESTSIDE RESIDENTS ARE FROM A LOW INCOME STATUS,
AND BECAUSE OF TIllS, TRANSPORTATION IS AL WAYS A PROBLEM.
CASA RAMONA DROP IN CENTER, IS RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE FEW
COMMUNITY CENTERS OFFERING SERVICES TO MAJORITY RAZE
CONSTITUENCY IN SAN BERNARDINO.

,
OMBUDSMAN SERVICES/CLIENT ADVOCACY
ORIGINALLY, THE CASA RAMONA DROP IN CENTER WAS ENVISIONED AS A
SATELLITE CITY HALL. IT OFFERS A WIDE RANGE OF SERVICES CWSE TO
HOME, TODAY, THE CENTER HAS EVOLVED FROM A GENERALIZED "MINI
CITY HALL" INTO A MORE OF AN OFFICE OR FIRST AND OFTEN LAST
RESORT ASSISTANCE FOR A LARGE NUMBER OF CITY RESIDENTS.
PRIMARILY, WE NOW SERVE THOSE WHO LACK THE CONFIDENCE, SOCIAL
OR LANGUAGE SKILLS OR STAMINA TO CONFRONT PUBLIC AGENCIES OR
MUNICIPAL DEPARTMENTS ON THEIR OWN.
THE DROP IN CENTER IS THUS THE ONLY ENTRY BY WHICH MANY, MANY
THOUSANDS OF CITY RESIDENTS CAN CONFIDENTIALLY SEEK
INFORMATION ON ISSUES REGARDING CITY SERVICES, PUBLIC HEALTH,
EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION, HOUSING, ETC. CONVERSELY, MOST CITY
OFFICES AND A GREAT MANY PUBLIC AGENCIES SERVING SAN
BERNARDINO CITIZENS REFER PERSONS TO OUR AGENCY.
WE ARE ASKED TO DO A CASE REVIEW AND "WORK UPS" TRANSLATIONS,
AID WITIl FORMS, COUNSELING, FAMILY NEEDS, ASSESSMENTS AND A
VARIETY OF REFERRALS. MANY TIMES OUR CLIENTS ARE UNDERGOING
PERIODS OF PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL STRESS. CITY DEPARTMENTS AND
PUBLIC AGENCIES OFTEN EMPWY OUR STAFF AND FACILITIES AS "SAFETY
VALUES" TO A VOID CONFRONTATIONS WITH PRIMARY "ENTRY POINT"
FOR MANY CITY RESIDENTS SEEKING INFORMATION AND GUIDANCE FOR
PEOPLE WHO ARE DIRECTLY TO WCAL GOVERNMENT DOWNTOWN
OFFICES FOR ASSISTANCE.

'>
,
WE SEE MANY PERSONS EACH WHO ARE SOLEY SPANISH SPEAKING AND
WHO MANY EVEN BE UNABLE TO READ OR WRITE IN ANY LANGUAGE,
MANY OF THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE UNDERSTANDABLY VERY SENSITIVE
ABOUT EXPRESSING THEIR DISABILITY TO OTHERS.
FINALLY THE DROP IN CENTER STAFF ACTS IN THE ROLE OF OMBUDSMAN.
WE DO NOT MAKE POLICY DECISIONS WE ONLY REPORT RECOMMEND TO
OUR SUPERVISORS THE TYE OF ASSISTANCE WE SHOULD OFFER. VERY
OFTEN, WE ARE ABLE TO CUT THROUGH THE BUREAUCRATIC RED TAPE
AND PROVIDE MORE IMMEDIATE SERVICE.
AT THE DROP IN CENTER WE HAVE LEARNED TO TAILOR OUR WORDS AND
ACTIONS TO THE VARIED REQUIREMENTS OF PEOPLE IN CRISIS. AS
PROFESSIONALS WE ARE ALSO HERE TO EXPLAIN THESE NEEDS TO OUR
CITY HALL PERSONNEL AND THE OTHER PERSONNEL OF THE PUBLIC
AGENCIES IN SAN BERNARDINO. WE ARE A CENTRAL COMPONENT IN
WHAT MAYBE VIEWED AS A "MUTUAL AID PACT' FOR INDIVIDUALS AND
FAMILIES IN NEED.
OUR ULTIMATE GOAL IN SERVING PERSONS AND FAMILIES IS TO FOSTER
SELF-CONFIDENCE, PRIDE AND GOOD HEALTH IN OUR CLIENTELE,
INSTRESTINGL Y, MANY OF OUR BEST VOLUNTEERS WHO SPEND MANY
HOURS MONTHLY WERE ONCE THEMSELVES CLIENTS OF THE DROP IN

STORIES.
