AGENDA REPORT
June 1, 2022
Item # 3.A.
TITLE: DrawBridge 2022/2023 Co-Sponsorship Recommendation
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Pickleweed Advisory Committee consider granting
DrawBridge a fee reduction or waiver for use of the Albert J. Boro Community Center’s
Art Room on Monday afternoons from September 12, 2022 through August 28, 2023,
excluding holidays and closures.
BACKGROUND
At their April 13, 2022 regular meeting, the Pickleweed Advisory Committee received an
application and presentation from DrawBridge requesting full co-sponsorship of rental
fees for their 2022/2023 Weekly Expressive Art Groups.
DrawBridge has been offering their Weekly Expressive Art Groups at the Albert J. Boro
Community Center since 2013. The City, through the Pickleweed Advisory Committee,
has been fully co-sponsoring the rental of the room for the program since 2017. The
activity fits well in the Center, especially in the Art Room, and appears to have a core
following of children that truly look forward to the program.
DrawBridge offers their Weekly Expressive Art Groups program for homeless, low
income and underserved children at the Albert J. Boro Community Center. The
program provides children a safe, fun, supportive environment where youth ages five to
18 can use art to “build community, process stress, and explore difficult emotions
through creative expression.”
DISCUSSION
As the Pickleweed Advisory Committee has had time to review the co-sponsorship
application, a recommendation is needed to grant a fee reduction (25%, 50%, 75%, or
other), grant a full fee-waiver, reject the application and ask applicant to resubmit with
Page 2 of 2
additional information, or reject the co-sponsorship application all together. Members
must also consider the Committee’s annual total allocation of $140,000 in fees that can
be waived.
FISCAL IMPACT
The non-profit value of a full co-sponsorship totals $1,410.00. A fee reduction or waiver
would potentially result in lost revenue to the City should a paying program be
interested renting the facility at that time.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Any other action as determined by the Comm ittee.

anecdotal feedback, observations, and opportunities for self-reporting. DrawBridge will solicit
evaluations and document feedback from children and their caregivers.
3. Success will also be measured by the number of individual children served as well as the
number of child visits to DrawBridge groups at each site.

DrawBridge in-person programs at the Albert J. Boro Community Center resumed in September of 2021 and
served 34 unduplicated children in a period of six months, with a total program attendance of 205 from
September 2021 to February 2022 (programs were paused in January due to the Omicron surge). During this
time, DrawBridge piloted a new visiting artist program to connect children with area artists including local Marin
artist Isidoro-Feldelfo Angeles who led DrawBridge art group participants in the creation of traditional shadow
boxes in celebration of Dia de los Muertos. In addition, as part of DrawBridge's holiday campaign, DrawBridge
youth artists received donations of backpacks filled with art supplies provided by the sport action brand Vans
and Flax Art and Design to wish program participants a creative new year. Despite the ongoing challenges of
the pandemic, the average attendance for DrawBridge programs at the Albert J. Boro Community Center has
been consistently strong and we anticipate meeting our annual attendance goals for the program by the end of
August as stated in our previous application.

As DrawBridge resumes in-person programs at the Albert J. Boro Community Center and
across the community, DrawBridge staff will conduct surveys and a full evaluation of
experiences with participants and parents in Spring of 2022 to better inform ongoing program
offerings in the future. Results of these findings will be shared with key stakeholders.
Samples of past evaluations are included with this document to demonstrate impact of this
program.
DrawBridge’s trained facilitators provide children and youth the safe space to build community
and explore creative expression. As Bay Area communities begin to reopen, DrawBridge
programs are in demand more than ever. We are delighted to have almost hit our annual
attendance goals in just four months since resuming in-person programs at the Boro Center and
anticipate these numbers to grow in the coming year.
DrawBridge has offered expressive arts programs to the Canal community for over 25 years.
Working in collaboration with site directors and long-time artist and facilitator Kathleen Keating,
a San Rafael native, DrawBridge is looking forward to once again offering free expressive
on-site arts programs to children at the Albert J. Boro Community Center.

Item # 3.B.
TITLE: Tamalpais Adult School/Bahia Vista Elementary School: English As
A Second Language Class 2022/2023 Co-Sponsorship Recommendation
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Pickleweed Advisory Committee consider granting
Tamalpais Adult School and Bahia Vista Elementary School a fee reduction or waiver
for use of an Albert J. Boro Community Center Meeting Room on Monday and
Wednesday mornings from September 6, 2022 through May 18, 2023, excluding
holidays and closures.
BACKGROUND
The Pickleweed Advisory Committee received an application and presentation from
Tamalpais Adult School and Bahia Vista Elementary School at their April 13, 2022
regular meeting, requesting full co-sponsorship of rental fees for their 2022/2023
English As A Second Language program.
Together, Tamalpais Adult School and Bahia Vista Elementary School provide a free
English As A Second Language course at the Albert J. Boro Community Center to
“support adult learners, many of whom have been under served in education, to thrive in
their community, learn English.” The program targets local parents, especially those
whose children attend nearby Bahia Vista Elementary School.
DISCUSSION
As the Pickleweed Advisory Committee has had time to review the co-sponsorship
application, a recommendation is needed to grant a fee reduction (25%, 50%, 75%, or
other), grant a full fee-waiver, reject the application and ask applicant to resubmit with
additional information, or reject the co-sponsorship application all together. Members
must also consider the Committee’s annual total allocation of $140,000 in fees that can
be waived.
Page 2 of 2
FISCAL IMPACT
The non-profit value of a full co-sponsorship totals $2,057.00. A fee reduction or waiver
would potentially result in lost revenue to the City should a paying program be
interested in renting the Meeting Room at that time.

COVID19 pandemic parameters have made in-person classes complicated at times where
surges and community spread is high. There has been a steady stream of adult learners in
the morning ESL class at Albert J. Boro Community Center. This is a success!
Tam Adult School is thankful for the opportunity to partner with San Rafael City’s, Albert J. Boro
Community Center by providing adult learners access to free English classes. Providing a
location to access free education classes is vital in the Canal area. Tam Adult School
welcomes all students and provides equal access to a continuum of educational services to
support academic, career and personal goals. W e look forward to continuing a partnership with
Albert J. Boro Community Center to serve adult learners who lives primarily in the surrounding
neighborhood.

AGENDA REPORT

Item # 3.C.
TITLE: Scouts BSA: Troop 2000 2022/2023 Co-Sponsorship
Recommendation
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Pickleweed Advisory Committee consider granting the
Scouts BSA a fee reduction or waiver for use of the Albert J. Boro Community Center’s
Multipurpose Room on Monday evenings from September 12, 2022 through August 28,
2023, excluding holidays and closures.
BACKGROUND
At their April 13, 2022 regular meeting, the Pickleweed Advisory Committee received an
application and presentation from Scouts BSA requesting full co-sponsorship of rental
fees for their 2022/2023 Troop 2000 meetings.
Troop 2000 has proudly called the Albert J. Boro Community Center and Pickleweed
Park home since forming in 2000. The City, through the Pickleweed Advisory
Committee, has been fully co-sponsoring the rental of the room for the program since
the troop’s formation. The activity fits in the Center’s schedule and the Scouts are
always agreeable to change rooms or move outside if there is a pressing need to use
the Multipurpose Room for a special meeting or event. Troop 2000 regularly gives back
to the Center and the Canal community by volunteering and performing special projects
in support of an individual member’s Eagle Scout Project. In past years the Scouts
have repaired the Centers’ back deck, made improvements and repairs to Pickleweed
Playground, repaired park signboards, and performed projects in the Canal Community
Garden. Staff also calls on Troop 2000 to support the City with community events, such
as assisting with the Día de los Muertos procession by guiding participants safely in
their lane.
Page 2 of 2
DISCUSSION
As the Pickleweed Advisory Committee has had time to review the co-sponsorship
application, a recommendation is needed to grant a fee reduction (25%, 50%, 75%, or
other), grant a full fee-waiver, reject the application, and ask applicant to resubmit with
additional information, or reject the co-sponsorship application all together. Members
must also consider the Committee’s annual total allocation of $140,000 in fees that can
be waived.
FISCAL IMPACT
The non-profit value of a full co-sponsorship totals $4,140.00. A fee reduction or waiver
would potentially result in lost revenue to the City should a paying program be
interested renting the facility at that time.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Any other action as determined by the Comm ittee.

We have provided and continue to provide services to boys in Marin County that want to joint
scouting.
The Scouts BSA is an international organization with a program based in the Scouting Promise
and Law, sharing the common goals of adventure, learning personal challenges and
responsibility. The program is carried out with adult volunteer leadership and provides a wide
range of activities including: planning outings and activities, making new friends from different
economic and social backgrounds, prepare the youth with active involvement with community
and the nation.

D. Summary: Briefly describe your overall satisfaction with your program and your reasoning, what
highlights you would like to bring to the Board’s attention, and any general comments about your program.
Rank advancement as outlined in the attachments:
Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class ranks are oriented toward learning and practicing
skills that will help the Scout develop confidence and fitness, challenge his thought processes,
introduce him to his responsibilities as a citizen, and prepare him for an exciting and successful
Scouting experience. Requirements for Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class may be
passed at any time after the Scout badge has been earned
The troop has successfully graduated more than 15 eagle scouts since established in Canal.
Currently we are working with the next generation of eagle scouts and recruiting more new
members to the troop. We will continue to request support from organizations that value that
Scouting brings to our youth.
The Troop has a legacy of community projects and service to the community including the
Albert Boro Community Center and beyond, whether collecting food for the community,
cleaning the streets or repairing and maintaining the parks, Troop 2000 has helped in many
ways. Despite challenges in transportation the troop has been active and participated in
scouting for food, our annually drive to help stock the food bank in November, celebrated our
annual Thanksgiving dinner, in December we did our Christmas gathering. In January, the troop
had done a camping. In February the troop participated in the annual first aid and emergency
and preparedness exercise and contest
“Red Code”obtaining first place and finally, did a
service project cleaning a local garden in Canal. We have plans to participate in Winter camp
and do two additional service project painting playgrounds in pre schoos (April and May).
Evaluation 2022
Outcome Statement
The program offers to expose the participant to three aims: one is
growth in moral strength and character, second is participating in
citizenship and the third aim is development in the physical, mental and
emotional fitness.
Measurement of outcome
We believe we have made a lot of progress in the community with our
troop. The fundamental goals of the Boys Scouts are Adventure,
learning, challenges, responsibility, developing self-potential, relating
to others, developing values and contributing to family and society.
The Troop serves boys from 11 to 18 years old in the primarily Hispanic
Canal neighborhood of San Rafael. We provide leadership, values,
outdoor activities, training, and opportunities otherwise unavailable to
our boys. We are making a difference in the community to provide
service projects in different areas of Marin. We have made extra
efforts to keep the troop united and thru the COVID 19 emergency
contacting members to check how they are doing. Recruiting parent
leaders has been a challenge for some years, more outreach is needed
in this area.

AGENDA REPORT

Item # 3.D.
TITLE: YMCA – Al Boro Afterschool Program Co-Sponsorship
Recommendation
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Pickleweed Advisory Committee consider granting the
YMCA a fee reduction or waiver for use of the rooms necessary to conduct an
afterschool program for Canal children at the Albert J. Boro Community Center and
Pickleweed Park, Monday through Friday, August 15, 2022 through June 9, 2023, with
permission for staff to grant additional space on a day-to-day basis, depending on
availability.
BACKGROUND
At their April 13, 2022 regular meeting, the Pickleweed Advisory Committee received an
application and presentation from the YMCA requesting full co-sponsorship of rental
fees for their proposed school-year 2022/2023 YMCA – Al Boro Afterschool Program.
The YMCA program, which is supported by San Rafael City Schools, plans to serve
approximately 75 school identified students with a safe program that will provide
academic, social, and emotional development, all free of charge to the participants.
The application requests use of many of the Center’s rooms and amenities. As was
done in the past with both the Catholic Charities Kids Club program and previous YMCA
programs, in order to accommodate other programming in the facility, staff recommends
granting the YMCA enough rooms for them to successfully base daily activities. Should
the Committee agree, additional rooms could then be granted on a daily, space
available basis. Generally, the activity fits well in the Center’s schedule and is very
much needed in the community.
Page 2 of 2
DISCUSSION
As the Pickleweed Advisory Committee has had time to review the co -sponsorship
application, a recommendation is needed to grant a fee reduction (25%, 50%, 75%, or
other), grant a full fee-waiver, reject the application and ask applicant to resubmit with
additional information, or reject the co-sponsorship application all together. Members
must also consider the Committee’s annual total allocation of $140,000 in fees that can
be waived. Should the Advisory Committee approve co-sponsorship, their
recommendation should consider supporting staff’s recommendation of granting the
rooms necessary to conduct a summer camp with permission for staff to provide
additional space on a day-to-day basis, depending on availability.
FISCAL IMPACT
The non-profit value of a full co-sponsorship totals $61,020.00 while still retaining space
for other programs. A fee reduction or waiver would potentially result in lost revenue to
the City should a paying program be interested renting the facility at that time.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Any other action as determined by the Comm ittee.

AGENDA REPORT

Item # 3.E.
TITLE: Parent Services Project – Aprendiendo Juntos 2022/2023 Co-
Sponsorship Recommendation
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Pickleweed Advisory Committee consider granting the
Parent Services Project a fee reduction or waiver for use of the Albert J. Boro
Community Center on Wednesdays and Thursdays from September 8, 2022 through
June 2, 2023, excluding holidays and closures.
BACKGROUND
At their April 13, 2022 regular meeting, the Pickleweed Advisory Committee received an
application and presentation from Parent Services Project requesting full co-
sponsorship of rental fees for their 2022/2023 Aprendiendo Juntos program.
Parent Services Project has utilized the Albert J. Boro Community Center for their
Aprendiendo Juntos (Learning Together) program since 2007. The program has been
co-sponsored by the Pickleweed Advisory Committee and has been popular in
attendance over the years, thus reflecting community interest and need.
The developmental playgroup for children 0-5 years old and their parents, teaches
parenting skills and helps parents strengthen their relationship with their child. In
addition to encouraging the healthy development of infants and young children , the
program helps build a support network in the community and provides connections to
community resources, organizations and programs.
DISCUSSION
As the Pickleweed Advisory Committee has had time to review the co-sponsorship
application, a recommendation is needed to grant a fee reduction (25%, 50%, 75%, or
other), grant a full fee-waiver, reject the application and ask applicant to resubmit with
Page 2 of 2
additional information, or reject the co-sponsorship application all together. Members
must also consider the Committee’s annual total allocation of $140,000 in fees that can
be waived.
FISCAL IMPACT
The non-profit value of a full co-sponsorship totals $10,260.00 ($1,350.00 for
Meeting Room 3 on Wednesdays and $8,910.00 for the Multipurpose Room on
Thursdays). A fee reduction or waiver would potentially result in lost revenue to the City
should a paying program be interested in using either the Meeting Room and the
Multipurpose Room at that time. However, being that Parent Services Project conducts
the program three days a week at the Albert J. Boro Community Center, the City
realizes an estimated $8,662.50 in revenue for the paid rental of the Multipurpose Room
to the Parent Services Project on Fridays.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Any other action as determined by the Committee.

65 families
The results of our goals and outcomes will not be determined until June/July once the program has been completed
for the year. We will distribut the post surveys mid to late May, 2022.
As of this point in time, we believe that 100% of our outcomes will have been met by June 2022.
65 families are participating regularly in Aprendiendo Juntos this year. We will have held over 100 developmental
playgroup sessions Sept 2021-June 2022. Playgroup includes developmentally rich play activities, parent support
and education that encourages the healthy development of infants and young children.
Aprendiendo Juntos has a positive reputation in the Canal and families know and trust Parent Services Project. We
meet parents where they are at and challenge them to learn new ways of engaging with the community and with
their families. They are deeply committed to giving their children a better life. We hire culturally competent staff that
have a history of working with families and a passion for social justice. The staff/client connection is a critical
component of our success.

B. Measurements: Describe the measurements and evaluation strategies you used for each outcome, and
provide a summary or actual data analysis. Attach relevant documents for each outcome and measurement
strategy.
C. Success: If you did not succeed in meeting your objectives, tell us why you think that happened, and
what strategies you employed to change the situation, or are planning to change in the future.
D. Summary: Briefly describe your overall satisfaction with your program and your reasoning, what
highlights you would like to bring to the Board’s attention, and any general comments about your program.
PSP conducts pre and post surveys in order to evaluate Aprendiendo Juntos. There are
informal parent-coordinator meetings as well as parent-child activities, presentations,
workshops and referrals throughout the year to help and support families.
We firmly bellieve that we will reach all of our performance measures this year. We are thrilled
to be able to offer safe in-person programming, even through Omicron, and we continue to go
above and beyond to support our playgroup families and deepen our work despite the
challenges of the pandemic. In June/July 2022 we will offer a four week in person summer
program for families with children entering TK and kindergarten in August. We will continue to
offer behavioral health support and early childhood mental health consultation through the
partnership with JFCS and well as individual brief case management for all playgroup families
in need. We are excited to share that Parent Services Project is coordinating a Playgroup
Collaborative so that we can improve our efforts county wide and align where appropriate.
PSP is also part of the Canal Community Response efforts and through support from Canal
Alliance, we have distributed over 200 at home test kits to Aprendiendo Junto families.
