Burlingame, CA 94010
Dear Friends:
For over five years now, I have been serving on the Board of Directors of Music at Kohl
Mansion. I believe that you are all familiar with our Chamber music series that, over the years,
have greatly expanded, both in number and in the diversity of the musicians who have entertained.
However, you may not be familiar with the great expansion of our "Music in Schools
Program". I have attached a number of documents that describe that program and you will note
that it prsently exists in all Burlingame Grade Schools as well as Burlingame Intermediate and
Mills High School.
Several times a year, principally in the Spring, two of the professional Chamber Music
Quartets spend a considerable amount of time with the students in Grades 1-5 as well as all of the
classes at Burlingame Intermediate School. Many of these tutorial sessions are interactive and
then the musicians, on an individual basis, have become involved in "Master Classes" with
promising students in our school system.
The program has been highly successful and well received. In fact, you will find enclosed
letters from superintendent Sonny DaMarto as well as teachers from Roosevelt and McKinley
applauding the creative and professional manner in which the musicians work with the children.
In fact, at McKinley it is noted that a kindergarten class was involved as well.
All of the above is "good news" but unfortunately this year, there is some "bad news". f
am sure that you are well aware that the Governor (out of necessity) is cutting the State Budget
and has decided to make major cuts in those funds going to the various Art and Musical Programs
around the State. As a consequence, our budget has indeed been impacted. Needless to say both
the city budget and the school budget have also been impacted recently and the school district has
had to make major cuts in its music programs. Music at Kohl Mansion has tried to fill that gap

IAN KAWYERS
Burlingame City Council
May 29,2002 Page Two
for Burlingame and Millbrae students and has done so in the past at no expense whatsoever to
either the School Districts or the young students.
However, this year we have decided to approach the Burlingame and Millbrae City
Councils in a request to make a relatively small contribution specifically to the "Music in Schools
Program". I therefore would like to request that the Council support the program by contributing
$2,500 to it this year. If I can answer any further questions, please either call me at home or you
can certainly ask questions of our representative who will attend the appropriate Council session.
I hope to be able to attend if at all possible. Many thanks for your consideration. Keep up the
good work in the City.

Dear Council Members,
The Board of Music at Kohl Mansion would like to make you aware of theMusic-in-Schools programs it has been presenting to students of theBurlingame public elementary schools qd rvrlll9 iligtt sct ool for the past1o years. Th_is ploglql is compremeqred by childrei's and Famiiyconcerts at the Kohl Mansion which have formed part of our edricationalprograms for 15 years.
The Music-in-scho,ols program, which completed its 10th successfulseason a few months ago, is aimed at studerits in grades 1 thr;Gh g anoprepared and executed by two of our ensembles-In-residence, tfl" ouf s"fand the Sonix String euartets. once ayear (in the spring) ttr6 oerioiString -QuTtgt presents a 45 minute inieracive^^prog.aniior u1 urr"*blyof grades 3 through 5, each year based on a diffbreit rheme (music-around the world, dance, nature etc.) The musicians show urra ""pr"i"the different instruments, tark about the history oiclassical music andper{orm exc_erpts.from different periods. They'alio acquaint thestudents with various musical concepts and touch on ttie mathematicaland scientific aspects of music (like acoustics). The quartet can designthe program with input from the schools' teaching staffs and tie it inwith those aspects of the existin_g curriculum teuc"h"rs want emphasized.There is ample opportu-niry for tfie studenm to piitiiiput" ano ait<questions. After this 45 minute presentation thtre is an additionalsession with the Sth graders only, for a more in depth discussion andhands-on activities, as well as performance by ttre-quartet.
At another time during the- spring.the Sonix String euartet presents a 30minute performance geared to students in grades i and 2.
This was the second-year thatJames Henry, a well known percussionistand charismatic performer, has presented an extremety wbu i"i"ir"a tominute introduction to music for Kindergartners.
All musicians are well known Bay Area performers and teachers. Bothstring quartets have collaborated with the san Franciscosymphony in its Adventures in Music program roi ttre San FranciscoElementary School District.
Artistic oversight of the programs is in the hands of our artisticcommittee and the Alexander string euartet, our ensemble-in resid.ence
3J th" High School level (also memberi of the San Francisco Stateuniversity faculty and artists-in-residence at san FranciscoPerformances).
About three weeks before the performances in grade 1 through 5, Music
at Kohl makes study guides available to all teachers involved. Teachers
may use these guides for preparation and follow-up for the
performances. Afterwards, students in grades 3 through 5 have the
opportunity to participate in an art contest by drawing or painting their
response to the musical performance. For numy of the students our
program constitutes their only annual exposure to classical music.
For music students in grades 6 through 8 we offer master classes by the
Del Sol String Quartet for string players and by a San Francisco
Symphony musician like clarinetist Don Carroll, for wind players.
The Board of Music at Kohl Mansion is committed to enrich the lives of
young people by exposing them to high quality classical music and to
develop an young audience for this music. Thanks to our experience as
concert presenters, which gives us access to the best artists, and our
negotiating expertise, we have been able to bring the very best
performers and educators of classical music into the local schools.
The attached packet contains information about our organization, our
concert series, and a slmopsis of our educational programs, copies of
study guides and responses to the prograrn from the Burlingame and
Millsbrae School Disticts teachers and administrators.
We hope ttrat after a successful Loth season in the Burlingame schools,
you will allow us to toot our own horn a little and bring our small
contribution to the cultural enrichment of the Millbrae schools to your
attention.
Sincerely,
Tom Gilman

MUSIC AT KOHL MANSION
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
At the Kohl Mansion
Daytime Children's Concerts
L,ocal elementary schools students, kindergarten through eighth grades, have the opportuniry to attend
daytime performances in the Great Hall of the Kohl Mansion. Well known classical music ensembles (and,
occasionally, jez and world musicians) from the Bay Area present instructive and entertaining programs,
aimed at involving the audience. Some past performers include: the Turtle Island String Quartet, Pocket
Opera, Twin Pines Woodwind Quintet, Golden Gate Brass Quintet, Supercussion.
Familv Concerts
Concerts aimed at families with younger children are designed to bring the joy of classical music to those
of all ages. These concerts, aimed at elementary and middle schools aged children and their families, are
entertaining and educational introductions to chamber music. Each hour-long interactive performance is
followed by a meet-the-artist reception.
Music at Kohl's Family Concerts for young children are presented by groups like the Golden Gate Brass
Quintet, long a favorite at our Children's and Family Concerts, and Pocket Opera. These Family Concerts
provide another way for parents to become involved with their children's musical education and offer them
an authentic concert experience.
Aficionados Series
This series is aimed at older children (middle school and above) and any one who is interested in learning
more about chamber music. The first concert, "Mastering the Art of Chamber Music", is led by the
Alexander String Quartet, and explores the life and music of a major composer through music and
discussion. The second is the "Call and Response" concert led by the Cypress String Quartet. After several
outreach performances in nearty high schools, the Cypress will present the world premiere of a string
quartet they have commissioned, which responds to other classical works. The composer will also attend
to add to the discussion.
Music-in-Schools program
Since 1993, the Music at Kohl team has used its negotiating expertise and access to first rate performing
musicians with classroom teaching experience to bring interactive programs of live classical music into the
local schools. The presentations are designed with input from the schools' teaching staff and tie in with
those aspects of the existing curriculum teachers want emphasized. (For example, during the Music-in-
Schools program's 1998-99 season, the Del Sol String Quartet incorporated mathematical concepts in their
presentations for grades 3 - 5.) Music at Kohl's Music in Schools program started in the Burlingame
public elementary schools (grades I - 5) and at Mills High School, with visiting students from Hillsdale
High School, and has grown to include Burlingame Intermediate School, Mercy High School, and, in
neighboring Millbrae, Taylor Middle School and all four elementary schools (grades I - 5).
EJrsembles-in-Residence: Alexander String Quartet - Conducts the high school programs and one of
lhe Friday evening Aficionados Series concerts, as well as appearing regularly on oui Chamber Music
Series. They have final say in the other ensembles in the program and advise them on content and
presentation. They are ensemble in residence for San Francisco Performances and are on the faculty at San
Francisco State University. They have been with the program almost since its inception. Del So[string
Qrrartet - This young local quartet has extensive educational experience individually and as an ensemble.
Thgy represented the San Francisco Symphony in the San Francisco public schools ihrough the
Adventures in Music program and currently are on the roster of Yotng Audiences. The Sonix String
Quartet bring_s their presentation to all the lst and 2nd graders in the Millbrae and Burlingame public
schools. The Sonix developed their programs in collaboration with the San Francisco Symphony's
Adventures in Music progmm.
Master classes: Music at Kohl offers master classes for wind and string players, led by the Alexander and
Del SoI String Quartets and experienced San Francisco Symphony musicians, such as clarinetist Don
Canoll.

$100,950 - $130,950 $58,750
The 2002-03 proposed budget includes $78,750. Department budget guidelines provided for a 0o/o
increase in operating costs; therefore, there is no change recommended for 2002-03 community goup
funding. Most organizations honored our suggestion to keep their requested amount at current level'
therefore, we would suggest a guideline of no increases over last year.
Obviously, the most significant change from previous years is some new requests from the Historical
Society and the Summer Enrichment Academy for a total of $39,200 - $69,200. If the council held to
our suggestion ofno increase over last year, then there is $4,000 available to cover the new requests.
Given the size of the historical properties inventory request ($30,000 - $60,000), which at the high end,
exceeds total funds available for community groups, it does not seem practical to include it in with the
other community requests. If the Council were interested in funding the historical inventories project,
wg would need to look at contingency funds.W

Parca
Serving People with
Developmental Disabilities & their Families
February 15,2002
Mr. James Nantell, City Manager
City of Burlingame
Ciry Hall
501 Primrose Road
Burlingame, CA 94010-3997
Dear Mr. Nantell:
Thank you for the opportunity to present you with a proposal for your Community Groups funding
program. We are grateful for your past support of Parca and want you to know that your generosity
directly affects the lives of young people with developmental disabilities and their families in the
City of Burlingame.
As you know, Parca is a private, nonprofit organization serving people with developmental
disabilities and their families in San Mateo County for 50 years. Developmental disabilities include
mental retardation, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism, epilepsy and other neurological
disorders. Approximately 1,500 children and adults and their families are assisted annually through
Parca's many quality programs. Many of these families reside in Burlingame.
Raji House, located at l40l Palm Drive, supports families by providing weekend respite care for
children and youth ages three to 18. Respite care offers families a break from continuous daily care
of a child with disabilities, and plays an important part in reducing stress, improving parents' mental

Raji House is helpful to families when they go on vacatiorL as a form of crisis interventioq and
during planned respite periods. Raji House provides a clean, safe, supervised and home-like
environment for children with developmental disabilities in as natural and unrestrictive a manner as
possible. Raji House is the only out-othome respite care program on the San Francisco Peninsula.
Currently, three Burlingame families with children who have developmental disabilities regularly
use Raji House's services. For fiscal year 2002-2003, we are requesting $5,000 toward a $90,000
garage conversion project that will turn an unused space into a physical therapy and recreation room
for the program's clients. The construction bids that we have obtained from local contractors who
specialize in accessibility include the following items, which will make the space larger, safer,
lighter and more comfortable for the proposed activities:

Dennis Argyres, City Manager
City of Burlingame
501 Primrose Road
Burlingame, CA 94010
Dear Dennis,
I would like to extend thanks on behalf of Samaritan House for the City of Burlingame's
long-standing support of Samaritan House. Burlingame has been a constant community
partner in helping Samaritan House shelter the homeless and provide for the basic needs
of our less fortunate neighbors.
After the City of San Mateo, Burlingame represents our largest client base. The
Samaritan House Community Worker Program serves about 200 Burlingame families
each year, which translates into 600-800 individuals, the majority of which are children
Our Holiday Assistance Program serves 50 Burlingame families (up to 200 individuals)
during the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays, assuring that every family can enjoy
the holidays with traditional food and new toys.
Safe Harbor, the County's Emergency Winter Shelter, opened November 19, 2001 this
season and will continue sheltering the homeless through the encl of the fiscal year
without interruption. Next fiscal year, Safe Harbor will be open all 365 days. Long
standing support for this project by the City of Burlingame this has influenced other
donors and really helped in the campaign to expand the shelter's period of service.
The City of Burlingame contributed $8,000 to Samaritan House and $8,000 to Safe
Harhor this fiscal year. Samaritan House respectfully requests the same amounts for each
in fiscal year ending June 30, 2003. These contributions help assure that City of
Burlingame residents have access to a wide breadth of services offered by Samaritan
House including food, clothing, healthcare, matching savings accounts, emergency
financial assistance, translation, and shelter.
Thanks so much for your consideration and long-standing support of Samaritan House. If
you need any further information please don't hesitate to contact me at 341--4081.
Respectfully,
fu/.er.'

Dear Mr. Nantell:
The c.A.L.L. Primrose center has received generous support from
the city of Burlingame community funding for many years. we are
extremely grateful for this support of our program. We are again
applying for a community grant with the enclosed proposal.
For your review I have enclosed a copy of our brochure, a copy of
our most recent newsletter as well as some recent press about our
organization, a proposal detailing our purpose, the amount of
funding we are seeking, and the number of Burlingame residents
we served in 2001
In addition to providing our mainline services of financial and food
assistance, we also loan out medical equipment to those who are in
need of it. We also continue to provide snacks monthly in a
program known as the "Brunch Club" program, to low-income
children at washington school. These snacks are confidentially
provided to these students who come to school without benefit of
breakfast. 2oo1 saw us completing the remodeling of our front
entrance in order to make our building wheelchair accessible.
In closing, we at the G.A.L.L. Primrose center continue to do all
that we can to help those in need. The year 2001 saw us increase
our linancial assistance to those in need from $+3,ooo in 2o0o to
$8o,014 in 2oo1! All requests are carefully screened and detailed
records are kept of all expenditures. we attempt to do great things
while remaining wise stewards of the funds entrusted to our care.
we are hopeful that the city of Burlingame will continue to help us
help those in need here in Burlingame.
Should you need additional information, or have questions
regarding this proposal, please contact me at our center. Thank
you for your consideration of our funding request.
Sincerely,

SERVICES PROVIDED
Started in 1983 as a telephone information and referral service, the C.A.L.L. Center became a
drop-in location in February of 1984. Since that time is has operated Monday through Friday
from 9:00 a.m. to 3:OO p.m. Those who come to the Center are low-income singles, families,
seniors and the homeless. We provide the following services:
. Information and Referral: Our first goal is to link people with the appropriate
services designed to eliminate or alleviate their need.
. Emerqency Direct Aid:,/ Food from our pantry,/ Bus tickets and gas vouchers for job interviews or doctor visits./ Rental assistance on a one-time only, emergency basis, where self-sufficiency can
be maintained.,/ Senior Brown Bag program, providing weekly food for low-income seniors
,/ Brunch Club, providing morning snacks for children at a local (Burlingame)
elementary school who do not have breakfast prior to arriving at school.
o Advocacv: People who are faced with a crisis need assistance in learning how to use
the social service system. Staff (paid and volunteer) are able to aid people by
empowering them to obtain the services they need.
. Medical Loan Closet: We loan out free of charge medical items such as wheelchairs
(deposit required), walkers, shower chairs, commodes, etc'
Time is spent with each individual served to understand and to determine the legitimacy of
the need and to assist in the process of self-sufficiency-

NUMBER OF BURLINGAME RESIDENTS SERVED
C.A.L.L. has 850 Br.li.rg"*. hor"eholds in our database. Last year, we provided direct aid to
more than 153 households. In addition to food and other services (transportation assistance,
in the form of bus passes, gas vouchers; the loan of medical items from our medical loan
closet; information-and refJrral services, etc.) we responded to requests for financial
assistance for Burlingame residents in the amount of $1 t,737.OO. Last year we provided
nearly 7,000 bags of Iood to those in need, the majority of which went to residents of
Burlingame and San Mateo.
We anticipate serving even more Burlingame residents in 2Oo2, as the economic situation
here in San Mateo C[unty continues to-be challenging. While it is difficult to anticipate how
many additional households we may begin to serve, I believe it to be apparent that the needs
will continue to increase. I have attached some recent press articles showing how much the
demand for our services increased in 2OO 1'

Burlingame, CA 94010-3997
Dear Mr. Nantell:
I am writing to request continued funding from the City of Burlingame in
support of the YFA Crisis Intervention and Suicide Prevention Center, one of
the nine programs of YFA (Youth and Family Assistance).
The YFA Crisis Intervention and Suicide Prevention Center seeks to provide
readily accessible help to people of all ages in their times of greatest need.
We do this through crisis lines, counseling, education, and interventions in
the community. For more than thirty-five years, the YFA Crisis Center has
been the only 24-hour suicide and crisis hotline in San Mateo County. The
Center, located in Burlingame, provides a continuum of care that begins with
the crisis lines and links clients with other services offered by the program.
On a round-the-clock basis, we deal with the most difficult problems
threatening members of our cofilmunity. We receive calls from people who
are on the verge of homelessness and provide them with referrals for shelter
or rental assistance. We get calls from people who are being abused by their
partners and try to instill in them the courage they need to seek help. We
take calls from people with chronic mental illness and listen with empathy.
We provide information and education to callers who are affected by alcohol
and drug use. We handle calls from people who are contemplating suicide
and intervene. For all these kinds of calls and many others, crisis line phone
counselors offer our clients referrals from our database of more than 1,500
local service providers that address a range of issues, thus providing easy
access to other support services available in the community.
The crisis lines are comprised of the 24-hour Crisis Line, the 24-hour
Alcohol and Drug Help Line, and the Child Abuse Warm Line. Trained
volunteers staff all three lines in rotating shifts throughout the day and night.
Private therapists and non-profit counseling centers (such as Project FOCYS
and the Family Service Agency) give our number to their clients so that they
may have after-hours support in case of crisis. Therapists, social workers,
nurses, lawyers, police officers and other service providers regularly call the
Crisis Line requesting referrals for their clients.
FEB 2 5 2002
Unique to San Mateo County, the YFA Crisis Center also offers the services of the Youth
Intervention TeanL which directly addresses suicide prevention and intervention for young
people. This program seeks to reduce the number of suicides and self-destructive behaviors
among children, ages 7-18. The Youth Intervention Team provides on-call counselors to San
Mateo County schools and police to assess suicidal behaviors or other crisis situations. When the
Youth Intervention Team is called out for an on-site intervention, a counselor meets initially with
the youth to assess and quetl the immediate crisis, and then involves the family in the
development of a treatment plan. The counselor also provides up to three follow-up sessions
with the youth and family.
ln addition, the Youth Intervention Team offers educational programs in the schools, which
include recognizing the signs of depression, skills for managing stress and anger, and suicide
prevention and intervention. The goal is to help young people develop healthy coping skills for
dealing with stress rather than resorting to self-destructive behaviors such as violence, suicide,
and substance abuse. Last year, the Yo'ath Intervention Team provided tr35 of these educational
programs to 3,546 participants in San Mateo County schools.
In addition to all that the YFA Crisis Center does to reach out to youth in our community, it also
offers a variety of educational programs to colleges, parenting classes and community groups.
YFA Crisis Center also provides therapeutic services including the Survivors of Suicide Support
Group and Grief Support Groups at the schools for teenagers who are coping with the death of
someone close to them. ln order to maintain and improve its effectiveness, the YFA Crisis Center
networks with other crisis line providers throughout the Bay Area to discover ways to enhance its
service to the thousands of callers who use our hotlines each year.
To support the work of the YFA Crisis Center, YFA is seeking funding from the local cities
whose residents are the direct beneficiaries of our services. For fiscal year 240212O03, we are
requesting $3,000 from the City of Burlingame. This request represents less than l%o of the
operating budget for the YFA Crisis Center.
Each year, the YFA Crisis Center receives nearly 15,000 calls. Roughly 27o (or 258) of the
individuals who called our hotlines in the last fiscal year are residents of the City of Burlingame.
This fiscal year to date, an additional 1,639 youth were served through our in-class educational
services, offered free of charge to local public schools. Approximately 27o (ot 33) of these youth
were residents of Burlingame.
YFA appreciates the past support that the City of Burlingame has provided to the YFA Crisis
Intervention and Suicide Prevention Center. Funding trends indicate that financial support for
programs such as ours are becoming increasingly difficult to come by. As the need for our
i"rui"", continues, we hope that the City will support these essential services to the community.
Thank you very much for considering this request. If you would like any further information,
please contact Cordelia Leoncio, Development Associate, at (650) 366-8401, ext- 312.

Cheryl

Burlingame, CA 94010
Dear Mr. Nantell:
On behalf of Shelter Network, I am writing to request a grant of $5,000 from the
City of Burlingame toward our emergency and transitional housing programs for
homeless families and single adults. We greatly appreciate the City of Burlingame's
past support and hope that the City will continue its commitment to helping its
homeless residents return to permanent homes of their own - a commitment that is
particularly vital this year, as our community's low-income families and individuals
have been especially hard-hit by the current economic downturn. Lastfucal year,
Shelter Network served 18 udults and childrenfrom Burlingame when they
became homeless,
Sky-high living expenses, combined with a critical shortage of affordable
housing, have made it very difficult for low-income families and individuals to
survive in the Bay Area, now one of the most expensive places to live in the
United States. Even with the recent decline in housing costs, the average rent for
aBay Area apartment is still more than $1,800 per month - more thanthe total
monthly income of a full-time minimum-wage worker. Those hardest hit by the
high cost of living and housing shortage are low-income workers and families.
Many have been severely impacted by the current economic slowdown, which has
caused layoffs and increased unemployment, while the cost of housing has
remained high. A single emergency - loss of a job, an increase in rent, a serious
illness, or loss of child care - can cause these families and individuals to lose their
housing. Each year, an estimated 6,000 residents of San Mateo County become
homeless.
Shelter Network is dedicated to helping these homeless families and individuals
stabilize their incomes and regain their places as productive members of our
community. At our emergency shelters, families and individuals find an
immediate place to stay and a full range of support services for up to two months.
Our longer-term transitional programs provide two to six months of stable

housing, coordinated case management, and comprehensive support services, allowing us to help
transition homeless parents, children, and single adults back into their own residences in the
community. Our results have been impressive; over 80% of families and 65% of single adults
completing our transitional programs successfully return to permanent housing each year.
Shelter Network's Redwood Family House in Redwood City, a transitional housing program,
and First Step for Families in San Mateo, an emergency shelter for families, are dedicated to
helping the homeless families of Burlingame and central San Mateo County. For single adults
from Burlingame and the rest of San Mateo County, our Maple Street Shelter in Redwood City
provides both emergency and transitional housing and services. In fiscal year 20A0101, three
families and eight single adults (a total of eighteen adults and children) from the City of
Burlingame found themselves homeless and tumed to our progftlms for support. The
comprehensive services we provide cost Shelter Network approximately $4,000 per family and
$2,500 per individual.
At this time, we hope that you will consider a grarfi of $5,000 to help cover the costs of these vital
emergency and transitional housing services, thus enabling us to continue helping homeless
Burlingame residents retum to their roles as productive members of our community. Shelter
Network relies on all of the cities whose residents are served by our programs for financial
support. Other cities currently contributing to our programs include Redwood City ($95,000),
South San Francisco ($28,000), Daly City ($26,000), San Mateo ($25,000), San Carlos ($20,000),
Palo Alto ($18,000), Belmont ($10,000), Menlo Park ($9,000), San Bruno ($7,500), Foster City
($6,500), and Colma ($2,500).
Your support for Shelter Network's vital "safety net" seryices is more critical this year than ever,
and I hope we can count on the City of Burlingame to continue a strong commitment to helping
the neediest Burlingame residents survive this difficult time. If you would like any further
information, or if I can provide a tour of any of Shelter Network's facilities to interested
Burlingame City Council members, please do not hesitate to contact me at (650) 685-5880 ext.
2 I or mjackson@shelternetwork.org.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I look forward to continuing to work
with the City of Burlingame to build a stronger, healthier community for all of us.

Dear Mr. Nantell:
Enclosed is Human Investment Project's (HIP Housing) proposal for the coming
fiscal year. We are requesting $3,000 to continue to provide housing options
through HIP Housing's Homesharing, Homelessness Prevention, Self-Sufficiency for
Single Parents and Home Equity Conversion for Senior Citizens Programs that serue
persons who live and work in the City of Burlingame.
Although we are aware of economic concerns, we are requesting increased funding
due to the record number of City residents served by HIP Housing's Homesharing
Program in 2000-2001.
131 Burlingame residents were provided service - 89% of those had very low
incomes and require very time intensive seruice. Homesharing is the only resource
for housing that is readily available to persons at the lowest end of the income
spectrum.
Our thanks to the City of Burlingame for its consideration of our request and its
past suppoft.
Very truly yours,
Judy Gaither
Executive Director

Dear Mr. Nantell,
Mission Hospice, the premier provider of end-of-life services in San Mateo
County, is an independent, community-based non-profit organizatron. Our
highly qualified nurses ate specialists in the field of caring for the terminally ill.
All of our staff. our Board. and our volunteers are committed to that mission.
We hope that in reviewing *ris letter, several things will be reaffirmed for you.
\X/e hope that you will recognize what a difference our care makes to our pa-
tients in facing their own deaths, as well as to their families in caring for their
loved ones through the most difficult of times. We hope that you will see that
hospice services are not so much about death as they are about the quality of the
life that remains. And we hope that you will consider this mission worthy of
your continued generous assistance.
Mission Hospice has been providing quality, compassionate end-of-life care for
People with terminal illnesses in San Mateo Counry - our neighbors and friends
- since 1979. Since our inception, we have helped more than 31300 people to
live their final days in the comfort of their own homes, surrounded by fam-
ily and friends. Through our nurses' expert pain and symptom management, our
patients are better able to enioy the time they have remaining with their loved
ones. Bereavement suPport for those left behind continues for more than ayear
following the death.
We serve all hospice-appropriate patients, regardless of ability to pay.
However, because costs of care - especially drugs,- have skyrocketed, insurance
reimbursements are woefully inadequate and the cost of even the most routine
czte fat exceeds coverage. Therefore; 'u/e must rely on the communiry* for fiezrlrf
forty percent of our budget. The current Medicare rate of reimbursement is
$148.90 per patient per day, while actual costs arc 9247.89 per patient per day.
With an
^ver ge of about 30 patients per day, over $2,970 per day is not covered
by reimbursements.
When we are faced with a patient with extraordinary needs, then, the
hardship becomes extreme and often can threaten the future of our or-
ganization \we faced such a situation recendy, with a case that would tercify
even the most stouthearted. "Mr. Smith" was a man in his eady fifties, diag-
nosed with cancer. For three years, his pain had been escalating as the canler
consumed his body. And as the pain escalared, so did the dosages of his pain
medication. Mr. Smith was on vast amounts of an enormously expensive nar-

cotic, administered through an IV pump, which only contained his excruciating pain at a barely tol-
erable level . . . most of the time. The pain still very frequendy spiked to agony.
The drug costs alone fot controlling Mr. Smith's pain amounted to more than 9201000 per
month, or about $665 per dry - more than six times the reimbursement rate! And this didn't
even include the usual costs of nurses, home health aides, medical equipment, and more.
What's more, this was only one case, albeit the most extfeme we've ever faced. Extraofdinary costs
^pper from time to time, punctuating our dependence on the community we serve to provide the
means of our survival, so that we may continue to serve a population with a growing need.
There are about a million people in Mission Hospice's service territory of San Mateo County. tX/ith
the graying of America, and the continued rise of cancer and other terminal illnesses, the need for
hospice c^te c rr only increase as well. The death of a loved one is an issue of concern to every-
one everywhere. It is an issue which will affect us all at some point - and probably repeatedly. Ulti-
mately, we will all face our own deaths, hopefully surrounded by those we love.
If we become able to eliminate the need to raid our assets each time a patient's costs exceed our re-
sources, Mission Hospice won't have to face the specter of no longer being here for people who are
dying in our community. Our finances will be more stable, our administrators will be more optimis-
tic, and our clinical staff will be able to provide their exceptional services free of the stress caused by
financial worries. Rather than face Mr. Smith's admission to our program with dread, our
usual compassionate welcome would not be tainted with a behind-the-scenes cringe of fear.
There was quite enough fear znd suffering surrounding Mr. Smith's pain and impending death. De-
spite financial worries over the case, the nurses and others who cared for him wete attentive to man-
aging his pain and his other needs and were able to make him as comfortable as was possible under
the circumstances. Ultimately, they succeeded in alleviating his pain. After three years of suffering
with his cancer, and two months in our service, Mr. Smith died peacefully and pain-free in his home
with his loved ones present. None of these people, least of all Mr. Smith, needed to be distracted by
money concerns. The fact remains, however, that in those two months, Mr. Smith's care ap-
proached $501000 in unreimbutsed costs.
\X4rile this is an unusual example, even an zver^ge patient's costs exceed reimbursements by $99
each day, costs continue to rise and reimbursemeflts do not keep up. Add to that an increase in the
^ver^ge
number of patients served per day, and you can see that we continue to lose gtound.
It is through contributions from people like you that we are able to continue to provide such
important services to our neighbors and friends in San Mateo County. W'e are very grateful for
your past support, and ask that you continue to be generous, thereby ensuring that our services will
continue to be available to all in need. \X/e hope that you are able to match your generous gift of
$2,000 last year, which helped us to serve 21 patients in Burlingame. As always, of course, a gift in
any amount will be weli spent and very much appreciated.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
e*r.fY

Dear Mr. Nantell,
for the
and local
support.
AGENCY PURPOSE
Friends for Youth is-a non profit organization that serves our community's youth-in-
need by creating and cultivating friendships with adult volunteer mentois. Friends for
Youth's kids are physically or emotionally deprived, exhibit delinquent behavior, or are
at risk of academic failure. Friends for Youth volunteers hglp the klds strengthen their
skills, develop their values and reali2e their fulIpotential. Fiiends for Youth-counselors
provide ong_oing, individualized attention and guidance to support and enrich each
friendship. We-also providelife skills workshops and a grouf ictivities program
(recreational, educational, cultural and.community serviie experiences) thatis designed
to expose yguth to new options for activity and giowth. Friends for Youth is dedilated
tohelping childrgn participate in the comri-runity, succeed in their personal lives, and
achieve their highest goals.
PROGRAM EFFECTIVENESS
Friends for Youth has a 9A+% success rate at keeping youth out of trouble and away
from the juvenile court system. Formal research^haI iemonstrated that the Friend6 for
Y:".,1mentoring Program is having a-clinically significant impact on at-risk youth.
Studies have analyzed changes in the behavioi and wel-being of the youth iir our
program and found positivdimprovement in self-este"*, u"Jd"mic a"chievement,
internalized behavior-(depression, anxietlr), uld externalized behavior (acting out,
aggression). Friends for Youth has also seen drastic improvement in social s[i[s,
community involvement, new skills development and plans for fufure educational
and/or vocational goals. Our track record of turning around the lives of troubled youth
and making them productive members of society can only serve to benefit the local
community.

Friends for Youth is cost effective. It costs the state over $30,000 per youngster annually
to be in the California Youth Authority. It costs over $100,000 per bed to build additional
facilities. Locally, a youngster in the juvenile probation system will cost up to $45,000 per
youngster per year. Friends for Youth costs around $5,0q0 per youngster per year.
(fnisis the cost per child relative to budget.) This is less than other one-to-one
programs. It is ilso a fact that relatively-little money is spent on prev-e-ntin-g. youth from
i:ntering the Juvenile fustice System. In San Mateo County, around $60 million is spent
each yeir on ]uvenile fustice Programs. O.ly $1 million is spent on prevention. Friends
for Y6uth is seeking to prevent our local yorith from becoming involved in the |uvenile
Justice System by making them productive members of our community.
The sutcess and quality of our program has not gone unrecogniz"4. WS have received
San Mateo Count!'s Ai,vard for-ExCellence for our work with at-risk children. Other
recognition has included the Bay Area Award for Management Excellence, and the
Presidents'Volunteer Action Aiarard Citation (given to 60 programs nationally out of
4,400 nominated).
In Februa ry 1999,Friends for Youth's Executive Director attended a White House
Mentoring Ceremony at the invitation of First Lady Hillary no-dhqq Clihton. 1n1999
and 2001,-we wbre s6lected as one of 6 programs in the state of California to receive a
"spirit of Mentoring" Award. Friends for Youth has also established a Mentoring
Inititute that provides technical assistance to other mentoring organizations.
SERVICE TO BURLINGAME
Friends for Youth has always enjoyed a special relationship withBurlingame. Our
program serves all of San Mateo County, howeverwe have worked with agreat many
vo""tn from Burlingame in our twenty-three year history. They ary referred to us
frrimarily from Scliools, ]uvenilePro6ation, Childrens' Protective Services, Family
bervice Agency, and San Mateo Counfy Mental Health. Currently, we work with an
average oiZ-+ if,itdren per year in Builingame who receive l-ong-term, intensive mat+-
,p r.fri."s and/or serv'ice [hrough our recreation prograq fg. ygrth on the waiting list.
The cost of these services is g10,0b0-$20,000. We are grateful foi the support of The City
of Burlingame last yeat, and would like to ask for a dbnation of $750 this year to support
this level of service to Burlingame.
Friends for Youth has many volunteers from Burlingame. Several have worked one-on-
one with our youth; others-have served on our Board of Directors or given time to
special projects.
Thank you again for your past support, and for your consideration again-this year.

Dear Mr. Nantell,
Thank you for providing the Center for Domestic Violence Prevention the opportunity to

Grant Application for City of Burlingame FY 2002-2003 Application Date: 12 March 2002
Amount of Funding Requested: $3,500
Description of Purpose and Services
The Center For Domestic Violence Prevention has been providing the same services to
the residents of San Mateo County for the past24 years through our mission "To end domestic
violence in the lives of individuals andfomilies by providing direct services and educational
programs.'DVP is committed to ending the intergenerational cycle of violence through direct
service as weii as through increasing public awareness of the issue of domestic violence. The
center is the only agency in our county of over 750,000 residents that offers a residential shelter
which includes a full array of in-house social, legal, educational, counseling, and other services
for victims of domestic violence. We also provide extensive services through our business office,
which is located in the City of Burlingame.
Domestic violence is a widespread societal problem with consequences reaching far
beyond the family. There is growing evidence that domestic violence and relationship violence
accounted for the majority of emergency room cases with the exception of those caused by
automobile accidents. There's also growing evidence that violence within the family becomes
the breeding ground for other problems such as substance abuse, juvenile delinquency, and
violent crimes. In consideration of the complexities of this problem, DVP offers a wide range of
programs and continues to grow to meet the ever-changing needs of our community.
Hiehliehts of DVP's Prosrams
Sheher Progran-Individual counseling, children's art therapy program, social services,legal services,
assistance frnding permanent residence.
Transilional Housing Prograrr-Transitional shelter for those who are prepared to leave the shelter, but
who have not yet found pemnnent housing. Residents of the Eansitional shelter also received counseling
and other social services.
Legal Progran-Assistance with paperwork to obtain domestic violence reshaining orders, court
accompaniment and assistance with child custody issues.
Community Support Graups-support groups located throughout our community to provide women with
mutual support when tackling issues related to domestic violence. We offer these groups in Spanish,
English and Tagalog.
Crisis Intervention Counseling-Short term counseli.g provided by trained staff and voltrnteers.
Community reaching prevention programs designed to educate the community about
I
issues related to domestic violence.
Teen Progran-Workshop presentations and counseling in middle schools and high schools aimed at
identifying abusive behavior and its roots. We also sponsor a teen dedicated website, which includes a Chat
Room devoted to teen relationship issues staffed by teens under professional supervision. Additionally, we
have teens providing teen focused Crisis/Support Line telephone services during after school hours four
evenings a week.
Asian Pacific Islander Outreach-We are emphasizing our current outreach efforts on Filipino and
Samoan communities.
24-Hour Support/Crisis Line-DVP's counselors are available 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Emergency Outreach Program-We operate the county's official Domestic Violence Response Team,
which has active parhrership with every police jurisdiction in our county. This program provides outreach
counselors who respond to all domestic violence related 911 calls.
Anticipated Services to Burlinsame Residents
Each year the numbers of individuals that we serve in the City of Burlingame increase slightly
and we remain committed to providing these critical services to anyone who needs them. We
anticipate that as our agency continues to grow and provide outreach to more diverse
populations, we will continue to increase our services to your community. The following are
statistics from a previous year that reflect services provided specifically to Burlingame residents:
including Burlingame.
Officers.
The scope of our programs extend to all of San Mateo County and it is difficult to predict the
number of Burlingame residents that will be using our services over the next year. Programs such
as our shelter services are provided on a first come first serve basis and with only 16 beds. The
unfortunate reality is that the availability of our services is oftentimes inadequate to meet the
needs of San Mateo County. However, without continued support from each city, including the
City of Burlingame, this situation will only worsen.
Thank you for considering our request of $3,500. We appreciate your past support and it is our
hope that the City of Burlingame continues to find our programs and services to be vital assets to
it's community.

Dear Jim,
Broadway By the Bay (formerly Peninsula Civic Light Opera), located on the border of San
Mateo and Burlingame, is a community theatre that provides affordable, professional-quality
musical theatre performances and education to more than 3,000 Burlingame households each
year. (In fact, in 2001 more than 19,000 tickets were sold to people residing in the 94010 zip
code!) Broadway By the Bay would like to request that the City of Burlingame continue its
support of our orgarization's programs with a gift of $2,000.
Over 40,000 people see Broadway By the Bay shows each year. We are proud to tell you that
our 2001 Season received 8 nominations for the Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle awards! Our
productions also provide local Equity and non-Equity artists with opportunities to perform.
Broadway By the Bay offers discounts on show tickets for seniors, families, youth, and groups
that make going to the theatre fun and affordable for everyone. In addition, PreviewNight
tickets are available to dance, drama and music students (and their drivers) for only $5! The
attached flyer was sent to both Burlingame High School and Burlingame Intermediate School
inviting students to attend the Preview Night performance, which also includes a pre-show
presentation by the Artistic Director.
In addition to its award-winning performances, Broadway By the Bay sponsors the Youth
Theatre Conservatory (YTC) and Outreach program. Most YTC participants are residents of
Burlingame, Hillsborough and San Mateo. Students pay a small fee to take part in these
workshops taught by professional Bay Area teachers, but the Youth Theatre Conservatory is not
self-supporting and relies on contributions.
The YTC is offering 4 classes in the Spring of 2002;9 scholarships have already been granted so
that children who cannot afford the fee-based programs may attend. In addition, free Outreach
programs are held in coordination with local agencies and schools so that low-income and at-risk
youth that lack transportation have access to theatre training in the neighborhoods where they
live.

Because Broadway By the Bay offers professional-quality performances and training at low
prices - to encourage the widest community participation possible - we require additional
financial support to defray many of our expenses. The donations of individuals in surrounding
communities are wonderful, but are not enough to sr.pport our organization; corporate
contributions and foundation and govemment grants are necessary to continue our programs.
Enclosed are materials that you may find helpful when considering our request. Please feel free
to contact Rosemary Hood, Executive Director or Jennifer Frank, Development Director if you
have any questions or would like to obtain any additional supporting materials.
The staff, volunteers, casts, crews and orchestras at Broadway By the Bay appreciate the
continued support of The City of Burlingame! We are grateful for Burlingame's involvement in
Broadway By the Bay and plan to continue to serve thousands of its residents. Thank you very
much for your time and consideration; we are hopeful that our request for $2,000 will be
favorably received.

Re: 2002 Funding REuest For the Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County
The Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County, a private nonprofit
corporation seruing Peninsula communities since 1958, is requesting a
grant of l$mfrom the City of Burlingame to enhance the delivery of its
services to children, hmilies and seniors in Burlingame.
Delivering free civil legal seruices is a critical component of sofuing some
of a community's most serious problems. A woman and her children can
find safety if she gets the legal assistance necessary to obtain a temporary
rcstraining order and ultimately a divorce from a battering spouse. A
senior lMng alone may be able to remain in the home she has rented for
years if she is represented by a lawyer. The family of a child with a
disability can leam to become advocats on behalf of their child if they
consult a lawyer.
Leveraging its resources while addressing isues, Legal Aid is at the forefront
addressing the growing legal difficulties faced by family caregivers,
those residents of the City of Burlingame who are either adult family
members caring for adults age sixty and over, or who may be
grandparents or other relatives over age sixty who are raising
children eighteen and under. Legal Aid has developed an innovative
Caregivers Network through which private attomeys will provide legal
advice and representation to f;amily caregivers.
Legal Aid collaborates with many countywide groups and organizations to
address the legal problems f,aced by residents of the City of Burlingame,
including: The Housing Leadership Council and New @innings. Legal Aid
advises and counsels staff of the Long Term C-are Ombudsman Program.
Legal Aid is paft of a health collaborative with Nuestro Canto de Salud,
Self Help for the Elderly andthe Center for the Independence of the
Disabled. We train volunteers for the Center on Domestic Violence

It is likely that we will continue to see an increase in the number of Burlingame
residents who come to Legal Aid. With a generous grant of $25fi) from the City of
&rrlingame, Legal Aid will be able to continue its effiorts on behalf of Burlingame
re$dents.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Legal Aid recently received the Silver Star Award from the 2002 Peninsula Partnership
for Clrildren Youth and Families. The award was given in recognition of legal Aid's Teen
Parents'Project, which helps pregnant and parenting teens and their children achieve
freedom from domestic violence.
Last year, legal Aid provided free legal services to more than 2300 people and helped
another {XD find the right resource. In 2fi)1, lcgal Aid assisted 76 clients from
Burlingame in a variety of legal matters, a 9olo increase from the prior year. Burlingame
residents came to Legal Aid fur legal assistance with housing, domestic violence and
drild custody, medicare and rnedicaid benefits, income maintenance, disability matters,
q)nsumer and contract prcblems, and ernployment law matters.
Afthough there are signs of recovery, the recession continues to have a de\rastating
impact on low-income workers in Burlingame. Low-income workers in retail, the
restaurant industry, automotive and travel have either lost their jobs or been cut way
bac*, and face the possibility of future lay offs. Many familie are now taced with the
loss of income and health insurance. Legal Aid taken a pro active role by providing on-
thespot advice about unemployment insurance and access to health insurance
benefits at local office of Bre Employmeflt De\relopment Department.

Dear Mr. Nantell,
We thank the city of Burlingame for its generous grant of $1500 last year for the 5th edition of
Indicators For A Sustainable San Mateo County: A Report Cord Of Our County's Suality Of
Life, and request that you renew your grant this year for the 6th edition. It is grati$ing that I I

Re: City of Burlingame Application Process Funding Requests
Community Groups
Dear City Manager Nantell,
As you know The Burlingame Historical Society has been serving
Burlingame for almost 30 years of Burlingame's almost 100 year
existence.
With that in mind, The Society would like to request help in
funding efforts that coincide with our city's Centennial Celebration as
well as programs that help educate our community.
Education is The Burlingame Society's primary objective. Often
this is accomplished through one on one interaction with those doing
research, but more and more it is done through community outreach.
For instance, this year we have started our "Passport To History"
Program. The program, an interactive tour throughout Burlingame
geared specifically for Burlingame's third graders, has become quite
popular. We estimate that this program alone will reach over 500 of
Burlingame's children along with their parents and teachers. With
the overwhelming success of this privately funded program it is clear
that other education programs will greatly increase the
understanding and appreciation of the rich and vast history of our
town. We would like to entertain several programs that encourage
more youngsters as well as teens and adults to participate. some of
these programs are in their infancy and may include classes in local
history, slide presentations, lecture series and printed works. These
initiatives can not commence without the kind of help you are
offering. We estimate the starting costs of some of these educational
APR 1 2 7007
IE8 BI'RIJNGAI(D BISIIORICAI, SOCIETT P.O. BOX ITT. BI'RLINCAITE.LIA g{OfJ
efforts at approximately $5000. We estimate that many residents of
Burlingame will be affected by our programs.
In a few short years Burlingame's Centennial Celebration will be
here. It should be an outstanding opportunity for the community to
come together under the umbrella of history.
The Burtingame Historical Society would like to be a leader in the
planning and implementation of many of the remembrances of
Burlingame's 1o0th Birthday. With community support like yours,
The Sotiety can begin the planning process. Events, exhibits and
permanent Commemorations of this momentous occasion are just
io-e of the thoughts currently being discussed. Simple exhibits and
displays alone can range in cost from $500 to $1000 to execute- The
estimated cost to begin processing these ideas is approximately
$2soo.
Like many of our programs, it is our hope that all those who live,
work or travel in Burlingame will benefit-
Thank you for supporting many of our community's fine
organuattons through your generous funding program. The
Burlingame Historical Society hopes to be one of its beneficiaries.
Pleise feel free to contact me directly at 348-6930 or call The
Burlingame Historical Society archives at 340'9960 with any
questions.

Re: Historical Significant Properties List for The City of Burlingame
Dear Mayor Janney, Council members,
I would like to thank you for the opportunity to speak at the public
comment section of last Saturday's joint planning/council meeting on
the subjects of signage and The Historical Significant Properties List.
However, in light of some of the feedback that the city received from
their consultarnt, Mr. Bill Sugaya of Carey and Company, a member of
The Burlingame Historical Society contacted Mr. Sugaya.
During their conversation it became clear that Mr. Sugaya was
unaware that much of the data has already been catalogued by The
Burlingame Historical Society, nor was he aware of the volunteer
potential of the society, nor was he aware that the society was
willing to contribute lovo of the cost of the project. In fact, he was
unaware of the very existence of The Burlingame Historical Society.
Mr.Sugaya has since revised his cost estimate from $200,000 to
$30,000- $36,000 and his staff time estimate to minimal. These
estimates are consistent with those the Burlingame Historical Society
has received from Mitch Postel, Director of The San Mateo County
Historical Association.
Given this news I would respectfully request the City discuss funding
this important document.
I recognize that there may be questions or misconceptions that
remain regarding the features and benefis of such a list. per a

conversation with members of The Burlingame Historical Society,
Mitch Postel has agreed to moderate a discussion with experts from
The Office of Historic Preservation and yourselves at your
convenience. I would be more than happy to arrange such a meeting
or you may contact Mitch directly at 650-299-0104.
Burlingame must become pro-active in promoting its cultural and
architectural heritage. I implore you to send the message that You,
our current leaders, are proud of how our past leaders envisioned
Burlingame.
Wouldn't it be nice to point with pride to more than just the library
and the fire station as shining examples of how we respect our
heritage? This is a project that can be implemented wittrout
impeding the progress of any other project on the ci$r's priority list.
Mayor Janney, Councilmembers, Planners, there is no time like the
present to promote and preserve our past.

Burlingame, CA 94010
Dear Mr. Nantell,
INTRODUCTION
I am writing on behalf of the children and families that live in Burlingame. These
families understand the need for quality after-school and suruner educational
opportunities. There are over 20,000 children in County schools whose parents work
outside the home. Muly of these parents work because of economic neiessity.
However, too many of their children do not have access to affordable, supervised,
academic and constructive activities during the after school hours and summer months.
Indeed, experts estimate that there are at least five million "latchkey" children who
come home each day to empty houses.
These children are at higher risk for drug, alcohol, tobacco use, delinquent
behavior, violent victimization, and *iury than their peers who are supervised after
school and during the long suruner days. Statistics show that the largest number of
juvenile crime and victimization are during the hours when sfudents are released from
school. The nation's police chiefs believe we can no longer ignore the obvious. The
National Organization of Police Officers unanimously support new investments in after-
school and summer prografiuning. They, along witti Anierica's teachers, feel it is one
of the best deterrents against juvenile crime andl victimization. Children need safe and
engaging opportunities between the last school bell and the start of a new school day or
school year.
BACKGROUND DATA
The National Report,Srfe and Smart: Making Aftu School Hours Workfor Kids,
provides-evidence that safe, enriching, and high-quality after-school oppoitunities can
help students acquire new skills and broaden theii edutation. The Preiident and United
State.s Congress also have called for new investments in community youth programs.
Hoping that every child in the U.S. will be able to take part in compu[er classesfart and
music courses, receive academic assistance, mentoring, and futoring. Providing
evidence, calling for investments and hoping that quality after-school programs
materialize through National Reports and political rhetoric don't make them
APR 200211
page 2
materialize. That takes a great deal of effort, team work and investment by caring
citizens, communities, schools and corporations, especially in California, a state whose
budget limits summer educational enrichment opportunities to7Y" of its public school
student population.
Knowing the grim state funding for sufirmer educational programs how do
Burlingame youth fair? Better than most for recreational activities, below the average
for academic and fine arts activities. That's if they have money. Literally thousands of
middle and low income elementary school children are added to the "latch key" roles
each summer in our community because their parents do not have the fiscal resources
for daily participation in high or low quality programs over the long ten week sununer
period. Those elementary school children along with thousands of middle school
sfudents, who have the most limited program offerings in summer, "hang-out" after
the last school bell rings in |une and stagnate. Hundreds of Burlingame students, who
were supervised from B:00 AM - 3:00 PM while attending school, find themselves "on
their own" each summer because the State funds for summer education are so limited.
At one point, several years ago, Burlingame Elementary School District had over a
hundred parents in line at 6:00 AM trying to enroll their children in the "free" State /
District suruner program. By 9:00 AM on the first day the sununer program was not
only filled but had a waiting list of more than 250 Burlingame communify students. The
need in our city for affordable academic enrichment and theatre experiences in the
suruner is simply enormous. I have taught in this community for 2Syears and I know
what kids need and I also know the importance, as a parent, of affordable academic
enrichment experiences for children, especially during the long suruner months.
Ten years ago several educators designed a very unique partnership with the
City of Burlingame, the Burlingame Elementary School District, local businesses and
Foundations and created SEA (the Summer Enrichment Academy) and BCT (the
Burlingame Communify Theatre). These programs have enhanced academic
achievement and perfoimance and demonstrated effective community partnerships.
Our programs weie even featured in the newspapers and on television. The SEA
Academy was awarded over $ 70,0000 in "start up" funding frgm Foundations such a
theDavid and Lucille Packard Foundatioru the Bay Meadows Foundation and the
Peninsula Community Foundation. Our young people have been "engaged in", notjust
"supervise d itl" , meaiinglful, enriching, and compieheislye e(ucational programs both after
sch6ol and summers. Fol over a decade thousands of Burlingame children have
benefited from these unique activities.
Proposal Narrative
As stated, the Summer Enrichment Academy (SEA) began in order to "Bridge the
Gup" that exists between affordable and un-affordable $gh quality educational
activities for Burlingame families. Ten years ago Sl students participated in the
Summer Enrichmeit Academy Prograrie (SEA). It was located on one Burlingame
school site (BIS) with four staff members and no scholarship sqpport. Thery as now, the
program ofierings modeled the quality gy-tlined.ir, jh" nati-onaL rbsearch document Safe
ind"Smart Becalse we have been a "collaborative" of Community Based
Organizations (CBOs), we could provide ahigher quality of PrgqTam for a reasonable
fee"because we"pooled our resources togethei". Tliat exponentially raised the bar. SEA
Page 3
has grown from 81 students at one site to nearly six hundred sfudents at three program
sites. The yearly operating budget has grown from $ 20,000 dollars to over $ 250,000
dollars. SEA has gone from offering prograrns solely for elementary students to
programs for the "ha1d to please" middle school age student and even adults. Lr ten
ye_arg we have also gone from no scholarship requests to over $ 5,000 + in yearly
scholarship requests from needy Burlingame families.
Our Request to You
The summer of 2002 brings us to a new place - a crossroad. One of our
commqluty partners (Burlingame School District) is experiencing very difficult financial
times. Their ability to provide facility support, computer equipmentior clerical work,
insurance and rent free spaceceased |anuary \,2002.In additibn, we have already
received more requests for scholarship assistance than ever before and the suruner
brochures have just "hit the streets".
Our request to you is three fold....
o First, we would ask that you help us purchase a new laptop computer system
and-printer to assist us_rn managing our growing program. The syslem c6uld be shared
by lhe many staff members who are involved in marl-eting, payr6ll, administration and
registration;
' Second, we ask that you consider supporting four students with summer
scholarships; and,
- ' Tinally, rye Te expenglcing over a $ 20,000 increase in operating costs due to
the rental fees for Burlingame School District facility space and fees for iniurance (both
F.abiliq/ and Workmanl.Cgfp previously provided -free of charge to SEA by the'
District's carrier SMCSIG). We can not generate that much additional income in such a
short p_eri9d of time without_raising tuitions out of the "doable" range for most of our
target Burlingame families - the lower and middle class community children.
We have increased fuition this summer as much as we think our corununity
families can absorb but we will still be strapped to make ends meet during this difficult
"transition" period. After ten years we do not want to cancel the SEA eniichment
Programs, in fact we had ptgt_9_"1pand and open "state of the art" Reading and Math
tutorial centers such as the SCORE Center located in the City of Belmont. ThE SCORE
center is packed each weekend, afternoon and evening wittr-sfudents and families
enhangqg their skills in math and reading using exciting, but expensive, software
Plovided by Oracle Computer. We were in thehidst of negotiafing a lease for the use
of.similar prodLrcts this summer andhad hopes of piloting 6ur firstleading center this
fall. Now all of those plans along with our BCt surirmer riusical are on hofd.
