CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
Subject:
Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino ratifying the
submittal of a $7,500 grant application to the GoGirIGo! Grant Program and authorizing the
Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services to administer the grant for the period of
April 1, 2005 through April 1, 2006.
Background:
The goal of the GoGirlGo! Grant Program is to maximize the use of sport/physical activity as an
educational intervention and social asset in order to enhance the wellness of girls as they
navigate between childhood and early womanhood.
The GoGirlGo! Grant Program provides funds to support sports and physical activity programs
that add new or expanded program participation opportunities for under-served girls, particularly
economically disadvantaged girls and/or girls from populations with high incidences of health-
risk behaviors.
The Westside Steppers Drill Team and Drum squad has an average of 50 to 60 young ladies ages
8 to 13 years. The ladies perform drill and dance steps that are combinations of high-spirited
inter-woven 4 and 8 count marches and aerobic routines set to intricate drumbeats. The Senior
Recreation Supervisor and 10 to 12 parent volunteers supervise the team. In addition to the team
members practicing and performing routines, they also attend workshops and special events
covering topics such as leadership, body image, peer pressure, drugs, nutrition and other subjects
relevant to this age group. The team is funded through donations, fundraisers, and grants.
The GoGirlGo! Grant does require a commitment to implement the GoGirlGo! educational
curriculum, which is provided by the foundation free of charge. This will require a pre and post-
project attitudinal survey. All commitment requirements will be accomplished by the volunteer
efforts of the Senior Recreation Supervisor.
If approved, the funds from GoGirIGo! Grant Program will be used for the Westside Stepper
program operation to include equipment and transportation for team members to participate in
events and workshops and registration/entry fees. Unfortunately, this information was not
received until November 24, 2004 and the grant deadline was November 30, 2004; therefore, the
application has been submitted. Staff is requesting that this action be ratified.
Financial Impact:
The acceptance of the GoGirlGo! Grant does not require the City to provide any cash match.
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution.

body image and drugs. There is also expert information on
each topic.

Exhibit "A"
City of San Bernardino Parks, Recreation & Community Services Department
San Bernardino Westside Steppers Drill Team and Drum Squad Program
Pro~ram Summan
Founded September I, 1991, the Westside Steppers Dri1J Team and Drum squad has been
recruiting, training and performing an average of 50 to 60 young ladies ages 8 to 13
years, annually in a physical activity program of drill and dance steps. The drill and
dance steps are combinations of high-spirited inter-woven 4 and 8 count marches and
aerobic routines set to intricate drumbeats created and taught by the different team
members and coaches. For years audiences have marveled and applauded over and over
the 50 to 60 drill team members while they perform their creative routines that they spend
countless hours perfecting. In addition to the team members practicing and performing
routines. teams members attend workshops and special events covering topics such as
leadership, body image, peer pressure, drugs, nutrition and other subjects relevant to this
age group.
The City of San Bernardino has a population of 187,000, many of whom receive some
type of government subsistence. This has created a large population of at-risk youth who
do not typica1Jy participate in the standard sports programs offered at schools and through
the Parks and Recreation Department. The Westside Steppers Dri1J Team and Drum
Squad, is supervised by Senior Recreation Supervisor, Glenda Martin-Robinson, provides
activities that not only benefit our youth physica1Jy, but build self-esteem and introduces
the youth to other cultures, communities and opportunities that they would not have
without the program. Ms. Robinson has over 20 years experience working with youth in
various programs. She works along with 10-12 volunteers and parents of the youth
approximately 50 hours per month to train, transport, fundraise, plan and supervise the
annual activities of the program. The youth practice 50 weeks per year every Monday and
Wednesday evening from 5:30pm to 8pm. Because of the volunteers and fundraising
efforts, the program is offered to our youth at a very low or no cost depending on the
individual member's situations.
The team members' hard work and commitment to the program has allowed them to
travel to cities and participate in events that they would not have been able to experience
by any other means. The team has traveled and performed both in Southern and Northern
California. Las Vegas, Nevada, Chicago, Illinois, and Washington D.C. In 2002 and 2003
the team members were invited to perform during half time for the WNBA Los Angeles
Sparks at the nationa1Jy renowned Staple Center. Each time the team received a standing
ovation from thousands for a performance we1J done. Afterwards a selected few of the
girls were a1Jowed to go back and talk to members of the I,..A. Sparks team. Other
members were given Lisa Leslie bobble head dolls and other memorabilia to mark the
day's event.

Exhibit "A"
PrOl!ram Benefits
The following are some of the benefits the program provides to girls ages 8 to 13 years.
./ Provide fun physical activity
./ Builds self-esteem and self \\'orth
./ Opportunities to successfully compete
./ Exposure to new and different places and people
./ Opportunities to give back to the community
In a community where many of the population are below the poverty level a grant from
the GoGirlGo foundation would allow the City to offer the program at a very low to no
cost to its participants. Girls ages 8 to 13 could continue to travel to places outside of
their blighted neighborhoods better known for their growing gangs, violent crimes, drugs
and high teen pregnancy rate. The GoGirlGo curriculum could easily be implemented
within the program as part of the workshop/education program component. The program
would utilize any and all GoGirlGo speakers willing to come (free of charge) and present
information that encourages females' participation in sports and fitness activities that
shov,: how physical fitness activities are important to the health, leadership development
and well-being of all girls and women.
Budl!et
The City of San Bernardino is a nonprofit, tax-exempt municipality, tax identification
#95-6000-772 with an operating budget (2004/05) of $124,682,400. The Parks and
Recreation Department has an operating budget of $5,595,800. The Wests ide Steppers
program operates on an annual budget of $16,000 to $18,000 annually. This includes both
an in-kind and direct budget funding. Over the years, the program has received $89,000
in CDBG funds, $7,500 Nutrition Network State grant funds and raised over $50,000
from donations, fees and fundraisers. An average of 12 volunteers donate an average of
50 hours per month, which at the national volunteer rate of S 16/hr. is equivalent to an
annual income SI15,200. All funds go towards operational cost such as transportation,
lodging, food, registration/parking fees, and equipment and uniforms repair/replacement.
There are no paid staff members.
Currently the program members and parents are feverously working to raise funds for the
Westside Steppers to participate in the 2005 National Drill and Drum Competition
sponsored by the Benevolent and Protective Order of ELKS, a Fraternal Organization,
We anticipate that the competition will be held in Atlanta, Ga. or New Orleans, Lo. June
2005. (At the time of this proposal the location and date had not been finalized.) We're
h0J1ing to send 67 team members of whom 53 are girls 8 to 13 years of age.
