Priority Each Spring your Commission develops a parks and recreation capital improvement project priority list as the City budget for the coming year is developed. In June the City Council will approve the C.I.P. budget and approved projects for 1998-99 will be started and/or scheduled after July 1. Your priority list will be considered by Parks & Recreation Department staff, by the City Manager and by the City Council as we go through the budget process. �. Attached, please find wish lists developed by Parks Division and Recreation Division staff last November. These lists are not prioritized and, YES, I was very surprised when the budget estimates turned out to be exactly equal for the two divisions. I have just been advised by the City Manager that I can prepare our 1998-99 C.I.P. budget requests based on $150,000 each for the two divisions. In the past we have received $100,000 each for projects in the two divisions, so this would be a $50,000/division increase, if approved by the City Council. The extra $100,000 total will obviously be a big help in accomplishing another project or two each year. For your information: • Projects now in process: Landfill closure & 1 st stage improvements (parking lot, golf driving range and lighted soccer field); Paloma Tot Lot rehab; Washington Park restroom replacement; Alpine Tot Lot rehab design; Washington Park tennis court rehab (special "bumps" lawsuit funding); office improvements at Parks Division corp yard; BHS Aquatic Center design (School District with the City's money). • J Lot Tot Lot will probably not be rehabilitated until Public Works comes up with funds from parking rate increases. • We plan to do the Alpine Tot Lot rehab this summer as part of a combined project with the Paloma Tot Lot. • The proposed extra $50,000 per division next year can make it possible to do the Laguna Tot Lot rehab in the Spring of 1999. • Rehabilitating and bringing-up to code the Village Park Clubhouse is the Recreation Division's # I priority. This report is for your information. I propose that we bring this item onto your February agenda for further discussion. Attachments: C.I.P.

I hope you agree. cc Carol I latch, Rotary Club Past President Seniors And Youth Community Sezvtce (2e4mirt5 Scott Martindale Fall 1997 Journal -� 10/17/97 1 was very excited about the program this year. I knew that there would be more senior citizens this time, so hoped that it would be more successful. After 1 arrived in the computer lab, we all introduced ourselves, then were paired up. I began with the basics, but soon I got a bit carried away. My student was very eager to learn, and caught onto everything quickly, so I went ahead and started word processing. She really enjoyed learning all of this new stuff. I just hope that all that I taught her was not overwhelming. I usually start with more basic things, and save the more difficult lessons, such as word processing, for later sessions. All in all, I turned out to be a good first session. 10/24/97 1 looked forward to this day once again. When I arrived in the computer lab, I was surprised to find that there were significantly fewer seniors, with the same number of tutors. My student from last time did not show up this time, so I just sat around for a while. Then, another tutor asked it I wanted to help her out. I offered my help wherever I could. This senior really enjoyed the "Flying Kite' program, in which you add graphics to a background. 1 enjoyed working with her, and it worked out quite well having two teachers teach one student. This way, it is more likely that one of us will be able to figure out how to solve whatever problems may arise. 10/28/97 I heard that there was a shortage of tutors during the Tuesday sessions, so decided to come and help out. Unfortunately, all of the seniors that showed up were quickly paired, leaving me without a senior to teach. I watched the other tutors and their seniors for a while, then was asked to help one tutor out. We worked together to help a senior get onto the internet, and find information about some of her favorite actors and authors. She was entirely thrilled with this new "world at her fingertips." I really enjoyed helping her out. It gave me satisfaction that I was able to offer my services, even though I was not really the student's official teacher. 10/31 /97 1 looked forward to this day. This time, there was one student not paired up, and I did not have anyone to work with, so I worked with Barbara. She was very eager to learn, and caught on quickly. We covered a lot of the basics of word processing, as well as when and how to use a mouse properly. She was very pleased with what I taught her, and commented that I was a good teacher. This made me feel really proud that I was able to teach her so much. I was very glad to get to work with her. She was a terrific person! At the end, I was shocked to find that my original student from the first session had indeed showed up. I felt really bad that I had not seen her, especially when she told me that the tutor she was placed with did not know a whole lot about the Macintosh we had worked on in the first session. I will definitely look for her next 1-N Friday, and I know that she will do the same. 11 /4/97 1 showed up at the Tuesday session again hoping to be able to tutor someone again. There were several people in the PC room, but no one in the Macintosh room (which I normally teach in). Since there were two senior citizens without tutors. I decided to help them. They were both playing Solitaire, so I answered all their questions for them about the game. After a while, one of them got tired of playing, so she asked me to teach her something new. We began to work on basic word processing. Shortly after we began, another tutor showed up to tutor the other unmatched senior. I devoted the rest of my time to helping the one lady. She asked me a lot of questions, some of which I was unable to answer since I had never before taught with these computers. Overall, I managed to do quite well, and was pleased with myself. I was able to answer many of her questions about basic aspects of computers, including the internet. It turned out to be a great session. 11 /7/97 As soon as I showed up in the Macintosh room, my original senior from the first session quickly made sure that I worked with her. I was happy to be back with my original senior, as she once again proved to quickly catch on to things. We worked first with the Flying Colors "painting" program, then with an SAT prep program. She enjoyed the SAT program even though she would never actually take an SAT. There were all sorts of options, including games and a dictionary. She had a little problem sliding the mouse around because it would always go off the mouse pad, so I finally moved the keyboard out of the way so she would slide it around in a bigger space in front of the computer. Other than that, she really seemed to have a good time today. was very happy to work with her again, and look forward to seeing her again next week. 11 /14197 1 looked for my original senior when I arrived, but was asked to teach Barbara, whom I had taught before. Soon after, I saw that my original senior had showed up late. She found another tutor, and I hope that he did a sufficient job. With Barbara, we played the SAT prep game, as well as the Flying Colors game. She was really enthusiastic and eager to learn everything we tried. It is truly fun to work with her. At the end, we tried to get on the internet, but never really had any luck. However, she was thrilled just to see what it looked like. I explained everything about it that I could to her, and she seemed to understand everything very well. As I was leaving, my original student said that she would not be coming for the last session, so I look forward to working with Barbara again next week. 11 /18/97 Today, I again showed up in the PC room hoping to find someone to teach. There was one lady that was not paired up, so I worked with her. She was busy playing Solitaire when I arrived, and really seemed to enjoy it. I helped her out whenever she had a problem. Eventually, she decided to learn something new, so I taught her word processing. She had already practiced with this program, so I reviewed with her. Naturally, she did not remember everything, but did remember quite a bit. This was amazing, since it usually takes a long time to really learn something new on the computer. The time passed by very quickly. I was once again pleased that I was able to successfully tutor on the PC's. 1 look forward to teaching with them next week. After all, I learn a lot about them myself just by teaching others. 11 /21 /97 Today, I looked forward to seeing Barbara, and was pleased to find her. She was also very glad to see me. We immediately tried to get on the internet, as we had been unable to before. For a while, it worked out quite well, but the computer did not seem capable of accessing many web sites successfully. We eventually all but gave up, and I apologized for the terrible time we had. Barbara said she still was learning a lot, even if it did not work. Any exposure to computers seemed to satisfy her. Then, we worked on a jigsaw puzzle for the remainder of the time. I figured that this was a good way to practice clicking -and -dragging in a fun way; Barbara definitely enjoyed it. At the end, she even gave me a card expressing her thanks for all I had taught her. I was really glad I was able to help her out so much. 11 /25/97 When I arrived today, I was pleased to find that my student from the last Tuesday session was already in a word processing document. We worked to create a type of spreadsheet, but ran into some problems in trying to delete it from out page. Eventually, we got rid of it, and worked on other aspects of word processing, including cut -and -paste. She was really surprised at all that could be done to modify text on a computer. After she was done with word processing, she tried out some other applications. I did not know much about them, but there was not a whole lot that could be done with them anyway. The time passed very quickly, and I realized that this was the very last session for the fail semester. I was sad that it was soon over, but will definitely look forward to participating in this program in the spring semester. Personal Reflection This semester, I was thrilled to see so many students that participated in this program. Those who attended every session got the most benefit, but anyone who was able to come got at least some exposure to computers. The skills they learned will undoubtedly prove to be useful to them, whether they apply them to their own computers or to a computer at the library or some other place. One important thing that every student should have conquered is their intimidation of computers. When approached in the right way, computers can be fun and exciting. And with a little help from a generation who has grown up on computers, these students are well on their way to fully mastering some important computer skills. The seniors that I worked with realized computers are indeed fun. They were always overjoyed when they found a new game, learned a new technique, or explored a new program. This was clearly evident by the expressions of surprise and astonishment on their faces. Never was there a dull moment during those forty-five minutes. Every aspect proved to be fascinating and intriguing. With the completion of this tutorial, I hope that they walk away feeling more comfortable about sitting down in front of a computer. Even if all they can remember to do is move the mouse, that sure is a good start. While the students take away new knowledge, I take away a sense of pride and satisfaction. The students in this program were eager to learn, as evidenced by their enthusiasm and cheeriness. With this spirit, they proceeded to absorb new knowledge at an amazing rate. For any teacher, this is the best thing that you could hope for. It is thrilling to see that your instructions are understood and well -received by another person. And to see this person express their gratitude and thanks for this help completes the satisfaction. There is nothing in life more satisfying to me than helping another person. Whether or not your help is appreciated, it still is a meaningful experience. There is nothing in life that can substitute this experience, and nothing that can create memories like this. Service to another person out of your own heart is truly a wonderful thing. In.this day and age, when money and personal wealth are the most important things, it is comforting to know that there are still people out there giving back to their community. I am fortunate to be one of those people, and would not trade this privilege for all the money in the world. t 011 BURLINGAME PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT Collection Report Jan-98 Current Month 97-98 COLL.
