SR 08-23-2022 5D City Council Report City Council Meeting: August 23, 2022 Agenda Item: 5.D 1 of 7 To: Mayor and City Council From: Rick Valte, Public Works Director, Public Works, Office of Sustainability & the Environment Subject: Authorization to Accept California Volunteers Grant and authorize the City to issue a Contract with Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs Recommended Action Staff recommends that the City Council: 1. Authorize the City Manager to accept a grant awarded in the amount of $289,178 from California Volunteers to fund a youth climate corps program; 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents to accept the grant and all grant renewals; 3. Authorize the City to issue a subrecipient contract with Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs, the fiscal agent for Climate Action Santa Monica for a total amount not to exceed $289,178; and 4. Authorize budget changes as outlined in the Financial Impacts & Budget Actions section of this report. Summary Staff seeks authority to accept a grant from California Volunteers in the amount of $289,178 and to award a subrecipient contract in the amount of $289,178 to Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs (SEE), the fiscal agent for Climate Action Santa Monica (CASM), to manage the youth climate corps through May 1, 2024. CASM is a program of SEE and is obligated and responsible for the programmatic duties of the grant, with SEE as its fiscal agent providing administrative services and support. The City’s winning proposal to California Volunteers to participate in the CaliforniansForAll Youth Workforce Development Program has two intertwined goals: • Engage the community in action that helps to fulfill the City of Santa Monica’s climate goals, and 5.D Packet Pg. 43 2 of 7 • Help the youth of Santa Monica reach their fullest potential by connecting them with services that prepare them for the future. The funding and workplan proposed in this grant-funded program will recruit, train, and employ volunteer youth to take on strategies and actions identified in the City’s Climate Action and Adaptation Plan. This effort will be realized through a subrecipient contract with CASM. CASM will work with JVS SoCal and Santa Monica College (SMC) as subconsultants. Discussion California Volunteers issued a Request for Proposals for the CaliforniansForAll Youth Workforce Development Program. The program has three goals: 1. Increase youth employment; 2. Develop career pathways; and 3. Strengthen local capacity to address key areas of food insecurity, climate, and COVID-19 recovery. All participants must be between 16-30 years of age. Per the program guidelines, priority should be given to youth who: • Have not participated in an AmeriCorps program • May have difficulty finding employment • Are low-income • Are unemployed and/or out of school • Are or were justice-involved • Are in or transitioning from foster care • Are engaged with the mental health or substance abuse system California Volunteers encourages the City to sub-grant to an existing Community-Based Organization (CBO) for all grant-related activities. The City of Santa Monica Office of Sustainability will serve as the point agency for the grant and staff proposes sub- granting to CASM, which is an established local non-profit that is qualified to manage the program. 5.D Packet Pg. 44 3 of 7 About Climate Action Santa Monica (CASM) The City of Santa Monica has been collaborating successfully with CASM since 2013. The partnership, now in its tenth year, began by bringing diverse constituencies together in community-wide forums to explore climate-related problems and opportunities related to energy, water, and transportation. These successful forums engaged more than 1,000 people. In 2020 CASM began hosting online SAMOCAN (Santa Monica Climate Action Network) sessions. In 2016, CASM launched the CASM Climate Corps (Climate Corps). With funding from the City and support from local businesses, individuals, county government and foundations, Climate Corps has graduated more than 90 youth, mostly high school age, and engaged dozens of adult volunteers and agency partners. Climate Corps includes experiential training, project work, and engagement with local leaders and community groups. In the process, youth are connected to adults in government, business, and CBOs to help them develop life and career skills. Projects are executed in teams focused on areas such as energy, organics recycling, extreme heat, water and mobility. Program Goal and Design The Executive Director and Program Manager of CASM will staff and supervise the youth fellows. The staffing plan for this grant includes a phased hiring approach that involves: 1. August 2022-June 2023: Onboard two Community Engagement Fellows. 2. June 2023-May 1, 2024: Onboard two additional Community Engagement Fellows. Their term will end by May 1, 2024. These Community Engagement Fellows are more mature and will possess more leadership ability and independent work capacity. They will help with CASM and the CASM Climate Corp. 3. June 2023: Onboard an additional six On the Ground Project Fellows to work part-time (20 hours) per week for six months. 4. January 2024: Onboard an additional crew of six On The Ground Project Fellows to work 20 hours per week through May 1, 2024. Fellows will be paid $20-$22 per hour. 5.D Packet Pg. 45 4 of 7 Strategies and actions below related to Santa Monica’s Climate Action & Adaptation Plan (CAAP) are among those that CASM has supported through its partnership with the City of Santa Monica. These efforts can be advanced with funding from this grant: Santa Monica’s CAAP goal CASM’s supporting role Create a Community Climate Action Network Santa Monica Climate Action Network (SAMOCAN) formed in 2020 with 20-25 participants per session representing 14 organizations. Convert existing natural gas equipment and appliances to electric Climate Corps energy track 2021 through current year educates about energy systems and City programs. Create equitable access to clean energy programs SAMOCAN event and advocacy for Solar in Multifamily Buildings. Climate Corps energy project on Community Solar development. Implement community choice energy (CCE) CASM steering committee members researched and educated on CCE formation 2014-2018, serve on CCA Community Advisory Board 2020 – current. Increase local solar for residential and commercial tenants Solar Brunches in 2018-2020 exchanged solar experience among neighbors. Implement citywide organics recycling Organized volunteers and Climate Corps to engage in outreach for green bin organics recycling in 2021 through current. Zero waste outreach and education Conducted surveys related to plastic straw ban and promoted reusable bags at Farmers’ Markets. Expand safe routes programs Ongoing campaign through Climate Corps to reduce car traffic to Santa Monica High School. Prioritize transit-oriented affordable housing Climate Corps surveyed about and publicized Expo Line, CASM represented community for green housing development. Promote low carbon, low waste lifestyles Engaged over 2,000 people in surveys and conversations at public events about energy, transportation, waste, and water choices and impacts. Increase climate and eco- literacy Hosted climate forums and educational events since 2013. 5.D Packet Pg. 46 5 of 7 Youth Recruitment/Development Youth will be recruited through the channels of the project partners with JVS SoCal and SMC playing lead roles, as they have established programs that can help reach youth meeting the grant’s criteria. Additionally, both JVS SoCal and SMC are key partners in the City-funded programs for “at-promise” (vulnerable/at-risk) youth. As such, they are a part of and familiar with the local and regional network of youth-serving organizations that serve the Santa Monica community and can help recommend local youth for the program. Recruitment may also occur through the City of Santa Monica’s online jobs board which the Community Development Department (CDD) promotes through email distribution, social media, and its website. CDDalso hosts job fairs. Local affordable housing organizations and other CBOs would be invited to promote the program and help recruit participants. CASM, through its connection to the community, recognizes that several youths are marginally or intermittently enrolled in school – or employed. Youth who reside in the community who have had trouble finding steady employment or have had difficulty remaining in school would be eligible for participation. Youth residing in a census tract identified by CalEnviroscreen 4.0 or as low income will be an acceptable criterion for qualification as well. Of those served, priority will be given to youth that reside in Santa Monica and/or attend a Santa Monica-Malibu Unified District school in Santa Monica. JVS SoCal will identify youth to refer to Climate Corps for consideration as program Fellows and will welcome referrals from Climate Corps of youth needing employment readiness services. Through the JVS SoCal-operated West Los Angeles America’s Job Center of California (AJCC) location in Culver City, JVS SoCal will provide engaged youth with soft skills and job readiness training, including creating a resume, practicing and preparing for interviews, reviewing personal hygiene and timeliness expectations, professional presentation and dress; better budgeting habits; and career exploration to determine long term interest in sustainability careers. JVS SoCal will provide or refer youth to local partners for wraparound services beyond the scope of JVS SoCal’s services, such as for mental health or substance use needs or housing assistance. JVS SoCal will assist youth with reengaging in school and enrolling in an academic program. 5.D Packet Pg. 47 6 of 7 JVS SoCal will co-enroll program Fellows into the adult program at the West Los Angeles AJCC for additional job readiness services and employment training opportunities for young adults ages 18+ and will leverage these resources for the CASMCC. JVS SoCal is well positioned to provide these services given their long track record of providing similar programming to Santa Monica youth through their City- funded programming for local at-promise youth. Santa Monica College will assist with recruiting in partnership with JVS SoCal, support alignment of course options and certificates with the real-life work experience and provide career counseling as needed. As Santa Monica’s local institution of higher education, SMC is also an integral part of programming for at-promise Santa Monica youth, bringing the knowledge of the local landscape and youth and family partner organizations involved in serving the older youth population.

The term of this Agreement is: 5.D.b Packet Pg. 50 Attachment: CalifornianForAll Grant Agreement (5184 : California Volunteers Grant) 1 City of Santa Monica Request for Funding: 2021 Californians For All Youth Workforce Development Program Santa Monica Climate and Community Engagement RFA #, JP21-002 Section 1: Program Goal (10 points) The proposed program has two intertwined goals. The first is to engage the community in action that helps to fulfill the City of Santa Monica’s climate goals. The second is to help the youth of Santa Monica reach their fullest potential by connecting them with services that prepare them for the future. This is the focus of the City of Santa Monica’s Cradle to Career program, a multi-organization partnership. The City of Santa Monica has set a goal of 80% reduction (below 1990 levels) in community carbon emissions by 2030. Steps to achieve this vision are set forth in the City’s Climate Action and Adaptation plan (CAAP), updated and adopted in 2019 by Santa Monica’s City Council. The key strategic goals in the plan are: Zero Net Buildings, Zero Waste, Sustainable Mobility, Climate Ready Community, Water Self Sufficiency, Coastal Flooding Preparedness, and Low Carbon Food Systems. The funding and work proposed in this grant application will employ youth and recruit and train volunteer youth to take on strategies and actions identified by the CAAP. This will be accomplished through a partnership with local CBO Climate Action Santa Monica (CASM). The work will be primarily conducted through CASM’s Climate Corps (CASMCC) program, which trains youth in local climate action. In 2013, the City of Santa Monica began its collaboration with Climate Action Santa Monica (now a program of SEE, Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs, which is CASM’s fiscal agent). The partnership started by bringing diverse constituencies together in community-wide forums to explore climate-related problems and opportunities related to energy, water, and transportation. These successful forums engaged more than 1,000 people. In 2020 CASM began hosting online SAMOCAN (Santa Monica Climate Action Network) sessions. In 2016, Climate Action Santa Monica launched the CASM Climate Corps (CASMCC). With funding from our City and support from local businesses, individuals, county government and foundations, CASMCC has graduated more than 90 youth (mostly high school age) and engaged dozens of adult volunteers and agency partners. CASMCC includes experiential training, project work, and engagement with local leaders and community groups. In the process, CASMCC connects youth to adults in government, business, and CBOs and helps them develop life and career skills. Projects are executed in teams focused on areas such as Energy, Organics Recycling, Extreme heat, Water and Mobility. City of Santa Monica #JP2001 Exhibit A Scope of Work 5.D.b Packet Pg. 51 Attachment: CalifornianForAll Grant Agreement (5184 : California Volunteers Grant) 2 Strategies and actions below related to Santa Monica’s CAAP are among those that CASM has supported through its partnership with the City of Santa Monica. These efforts can be advanced with funding from this proposal: Santa Monica’s CAAP goal CASM’s supporting role Create a Community Climate Action Network Santa Monica Climate Action Network (SAMOCAN) formed in 2020 with 20-25 participants per session representing 14 organizations Convert existing natural gas equipment and appliances to electric Climate Corps energy track 2021 through current year educates about energy systems and City programs Create equitable access to clean energy programs SAMOCAN event and advocacy for Solar in Multifamily Buildings.

Work on organics and low-carbon systems also supports food insecurity. SMC and JVS SoCal working together with CASM and the City is particularly potent as it is a goal of JVS SoCal that youth in its programs access post-secondary education and certificate programs. The Community Engagement fellows will be brought on board with training and mentorship provided by CASM staff. They will receive training in the digital tools used by CASM and guidance and support on community outreach. All of the Fellows will receive climate training during the two week CASMCC program, as well as real-life work experience. This can provide the City and regional contractors with an employee pipeline. On the ground, project Fellows will 5.D.b Packet Pg. 52 Attachment: CalifornianForAll Grant Agreement (5184 : California Volunteers Grant) 3 receive training specific to implementing their project. The Fellows will also be exposed to career options in the non-profit community organization space through their work with Climate Action Santa Monica and the CASMCC, opening up career options in that sector. The project will be implemented in phases. Stage 1: Community Engagement Fellows. (April 2022-May 2024) Total of Four Fellows, two employed from April 2022 – June 2023, and two more employed from April 2023 to May 2024. (Fellows may reapply after the first year). CASMCC Leadership and Support: CASMCC Fellows will assist with the management and training of CASMCC. This is an annual summer program with volunteer opportunities throughout the year. The Fellows will orchestrate CASMCC training, which includes both classroom and outdoor experiential learning. Classroom learning includes, for example, presentations on the CAAP and conversations with a local climate expert, and experiential learning includes activities such as working a compost pile, exploring active transportation for safe routes to school, and using digital tools to map local solar power options. Fellows will also help coordinate CASMCC project teams, helping the youth use their individual talents and skills to execute their projects. The Fellows will help the CASMCC share what they have learned with their communities, local leaders, and peers through letters, online posts, and meetings with city leaders. Because the summer CASMCC is an intensive program, Fellows from the first year may overlap for a few weeks with Fellows from the following year for training and support. SAMOCAN (Santa Monica Climate Action Network): Fellows will orchestrate bi-monthly online SAMOCAN Climate Conversations and a series of year-round community-building programs which support the work of CASM and other climate-related groups. These may include citizen science participation in the Coastal Commission’s King Tides project, community garden workdays, and mobility workshops together with local businesses and community groups. This will connect them to local leaders in a variety of fields who may be good career supporters. Digital Communication and Management: Fellows will coordinate and execute digital communication on upcoming events, city and state climate programs, and local people making a difference. They will update and maintain outreach and use CASMs contact management software. They will help administer tracking of Climate Corps related activities. They will develop online marketing and communication skills. Fellows will also help with program management including running meetings, tracking attendance, and coordinating the annual culmination ceremony. These will provide marketable skills in organizational management, community outreach, project management, communications, and operations. Stage 2: On-the-ground Projects Team (July 2023-May 2024). Total of 12 Fellows. Six employed starting July 2023 to December 2023, plus six from January 2024 to May 1, 2024. (Fellows may reapply after the first six months.) Having people visible in the community makes implementing climate action more successful. Projects under development may include: 5.D.b Packet Pg. 53 Attachment: CalifornianForAll Grant Agreement (5184 : California Volunteers Grant) 4 • an organics recycling outreach effort begun in 2021 to help support compliance with and education about the new state organics recycling mandates. An expanded team would put stickers on green organics bins, do lid checks to assist with compliance, and provide feedback to local landlords, individual homeowners, and city staff on the program. • an air quality citizen science project to assist data collection needed on air quality and temperature in Santa Monica’s Disadvantaged Communities (DACs) to respond to and support initiatives addressing extreme heat, building electrification, and transportation shifts. • community renewable energy outreach to help people take advantage of programs supporting access to local solar power and storage, particularly programs available to low income households. • supporting implementation of new water conservation or reclamation programs. Section 3: Youth Recruitment/Development (20 points) Youth will be recruited through the channels of the project partners with JVS SoCal and SMC playing lead roles since they have established programs that can help reach youth meeting the grant’s criteria. The City of Santa Monica has an online jobs board which it promotes through email, social media, and its website. It also hosts job fairs. Local affordable housing organizations will be invited to promote the program. CASM, through its connection to the community, recognizes that a number of youth are marginally or intermittently enrolled in school – or employed. We propose that youth who reside in our community who have had trouble finding steady employment or have had difficulty remaining in school be eligible for participation. We also propose that residing in a census tract identified by CalEnviroscreen 4.0 or as low income be an acceptable criteria for qualification. In Santa Monica minimum wage is $15.00/hour and by ordinance may be increased based on the Consumer Price Index. Since no benefits are offered, we are offering $20.00/ hour for the On The Ground Project Fellows and $22.00/hour for the Community Engagement Fellows. Section 4: Metrics/Outcomes (10 points) The project partners can provide the metrics requested. Pre-hiring and exit interviews will be conducted. Experience shows that it can be difficult to generate data following completion of a youth program. So, Metrics/Reporting on items such as Percentage of youth who report an interest in a career in public service after one year of employment, may be difficult to obtain. Section 5: Budget/Staffing/Communications (10 points) The staffing plan is: • City of Santa Monica Office of Sustainability will serve as point agency for the grant. • Climate Action Santa Monica (SEE) will serve as a sub-grantee. Staff of Climate Action Santa Monica, the Executive Director and Program Manager, will staff the program. When working on projects in coordination with a city department or agency, that group will help 5.D.b Packet Pg. 54 Attachment: CalifornianForAll Grant Agreement (5184 : California Volunteers Grant) 5 shape the program and provide supervision. CASM also has a contract with the City of Santa Monica. CASM’s Advisory and Steering Committees, which include people experienced in youth development and education, non-profit management, climate and sustainability, will advise on the program. • Program development input will be provided by City departments, such as Office of Sustainability and the Office of Resource Recovery. • JVS SoCal will identify youth to refer to CASMCC for consideration as six-month program Fellows and will welcome referrals from CASMCC of youth needing employment readiness services. Through the JVS SoCal-operated West Los Angeles America’s Job Center of California (AJCC) location in Culver City, JVS SoCal will provide engaged youth with soft skills and job readiness training, including creating a resume, practicing and preparing for interviews, reviewing personal hygiene and timeliness expectations, professional presentation and dress; better budgeting habits; and career exploration to determine long- term interest in sustainability careers. JVS SoCal will provide or refer youth to local partners for wraparound services beyond the scope of JVS SoCal’s services, such as for mental health or substance use needs or housing assistance. JVS SoCal will assist youth with re- engaging in school and enrolling in an academic program. JVS SoCal will co-enroll program Fellows into the adult program at the West Los Angeles AJCC for additional job readiness services and employment training opportunities for young adults ages 18+, and will leverage these resources to the CASm project. • SMC will assist with recruiting in partnership with JVS-Socal, support alignment of course options and certificates with the real life work experience, and provide career counseling as needed. • Numerous local organizations and individual volunteers support the training and work of CASMCC. The staffing plan for this grant is to hire two Community Engagement Fellows in April 2022 to work for fourteen months, and then two more Community Engagement Fellows to work for one year from June 2023 to May 2024. These Community Engagement Fellows are more mature and will possess more leadership ability and independent work capacity. They will help with CASM and the CASMCC. In June 2023, an additional six On the Ground Project Fellows will be hired to work part- time (20 hours) for six months. Then in January 2024, an additional crew of six On The Ground Project Fellows will be hired to work 20 hours per week until May 1, 2024. Branding for the CaliforniaVolunteers will appear on City and CASMCC websites, on various communications, and in training presentations. The partner organizations will be able to place branding in some of their recruitment materials and communications. Additional branding opportunities will be considered as requested. The City of Santa Monica and Climate Action Santa Monica will be pleased to participate in a program launch with CaliforniaVolunteers. Depending on specifics, SMC and JVS will be able to participate as well. 5.D.b Packet Pg. 55 Attachment: CalifornianForAll Grant Agreement (5184 : California Volunteers Grant) City Of Santa Monica #JP2001 Applicant: City of Santa Monica Items Description Calculation Total BudgetAdministrative Costs Grant and contract 28,000.00$ Total 28,000.00$ # Requested Hourly Salary # of Hours Total Budget Fellow 1 Comm Engmt 22.00$ 1300 28,600.00$ 4/1/22 thru 6/30/23, 20 hours per week for 65 weeks.
