Project Narrative - Provide a narrative description of the proposed project. Who is going to do what, for whom, when, where, and why. Be clear and concise. The City of Tamarac is proposing a coordinated cultural arts program, including classes in the disciplines of dance, music, drama and poetry. The classes will be provided by the White Willis Theatre, Inc. The White Willis Theatre, Inc. is a multi -ethnic, multi -racial theatre company, based in Tamarac, known for its presentation of contemporary drama, comedies and large-scale musicals. They also offer a yearly series of Arts in Education programs, Children's Programs, and other outreach activities for all ages. We are targeting three groups for class participation, the young, 6-10, who participate in our youth and afterschool programs, teens 11-5, who participate in Teen Club, Center and related activities and seniors who participate in our senior program activities. Many segments of our population are isolated from sharing cultural experiences by lack of transportation, financial resources or opportunity. This project makes the cultural experience accessible and comfortable. Broward County has a wide range of cultural offerings but many of our residents are unaware or unable to access the fine programs. This project is an introduction to the cultural arts with professional artists to many participants who are presently underserved. The classes will be offered in two sessions. Session 1 will be Oct. 1-mid Jan. Session 2 will be Feb-1-mid April. Session 1 will be 14 weeks and session 2 will be 10 weeks. The classes will be offered at times determined to be most advantageous for the targeted groups, Saturdays for youth, weekday afternoons or evenings for teens and weekday afternoons for seniors. The classes will be offered in Tamarac recreation facilities, at 7401 N. University and the new community center to be completed January 2000. A second aspect of the project will be two exhibitions/performances. The first will be part of the festivities to celebrate the grand opening of the new Senior & Community Center and the second, part of the traditional Tamarac Day activities. The performance/exhibitions will be an extension of the Parks & Recreation theme, established this year, "Celebrate Tamarac". These events, activities and programs engage our community to foster recognition of the cultural diversity of the citizenry and promote partnerships with community organizations and businesses. The White -Willis Theatre will provide the technical assistance for these performances/exhibitions, building on the insights and skills participants have gained in the cultural arts classes. The mission of the City of Tamarac Parks and Recreation Department is to offer access to recreational opportunities. The definition of recreation has been broadened to include many avenues of community and individual exploration and expression. In September 1998, the community voted to build a new community center to meet the recreational challenges of the 2151 century for Tamarac. The CELEBRATE TAMARAC campaign, developed and implemented in FY99, is a new emphasis on engaging the community in activities, programs and events to foster community understanding and unity. This proposed project is Phase II of CELEBRATE TAMARAC. The Parks and Recreation is developing a more structured cultural program in response to the needs of the community by providing greater access to the cultural arts, thereby allowing greater opportunity for sharing cultural diversity and building community spirit Page 7 of 12 TR 8471 Exhibit A 14. Review Criteria - State how the proposed project(s) complies with the Review Criteria listed in the CAE program guidelines. Be clear and concise. 0 Cultural Merit This project will facilitate creative expression of the vast cultural diversity in the City of Tamarac. The participants will be introduced to various cultural disciplines to offer a new way to share personal experiences, enjoy life and expand understanding of our community. Our project is a partnership with the White -Willis Theatre group, an established, highly qualified and respected theatre company. This partnership allows the White -Willis Theatre to enhance their community presence by offering programs to local, undeserved audiences. Tamarac is a city in transition. We reflect the rich cultural diversity of South Florida. This intergenerational and multicultural project is an opportunity for the expression and celebration of "what is Tamarac". The outcomes will be increased exposure to the cultural arts at an introductory level, increased involvement in community activities and an increase in community understanding of "what is Tamarac". Many segments of our population are isolated from sharing cultural experiences by lack of transportation, financial resources or opportunity. This project makes the cultural experience accessible and comfortable. Broward County has a wide range of cultural offerings but many of our residents are unaware or unable to access the fine programs. This project is an introduction to the cultural arts with professional artists to many participants who are presently underserved. Community Outreach The response to the limited cultural programming offered in Tamarac has been positive. Our youth, teens and seniors each have a unique situation that has created barriers to cultural exposure. Conversely, these populations have been unable to offer their experiences and talents. This partnership is a commitment to provide an opportunity that is mutually beneficial by furthering the goals and objectives of the City, the participants and the White -Willis Theatre. The City has the ability to effectively market this project. The City publishes the Tamagram monthly, which contains information on all city programs and activities. The TAM is distributed to most homeowner associations and developments in Tamarac with plans to mail directly to households in the future. The City • also has a web page, tamarac.org, with up to the minute information on city happenings. The Parks and Recreation Department publishes quarterly brochures, in addition to flyers, public service announcements and newspaper articles and advertisements, to announce all programs, events and activities. Signage, including new marquees at major buildings, is increasing as a means to alert the public to offerings. The City Public Information Officer is organizing talks with interested groups for dissemination of community information. Lastly, the City will be holding several events to celebrate the opening of the new Senior and Community Center in mid January 2000. This will be our major CELEBRATE TAMARAC focus for FY2000-the new millenium. Proiect Administration The City of Tamarac is dedicated to providing quality programs, activities and events for the residents. The City recently passed a referendum to fund a 3.25 million -dollar bond issue for the construction of a new community center. The Parks and Recreation Department has been successful in building many fine programs over the years. The department has an annual budget of over 1.6 million dollars. The staff consists of qualified leisure professionals with expertise in program and event planning, implementation and evaluation. The City Commission has consistently allocated funds for new programs, activities and events on an annual basis. The City welcomes community involvement. There are 16 appointed boards and committees in the City. The Parks and Recreation Department has an active Advisory Board, who play an essential role in guiding the development and implementation of city recreational opportunities. The Chairman serves on the Broward County Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board also served as a nucleus for the "Friends of the Community Center", a group instrumental in developing community awareness and support for the successful bond issue for the community center. They intend to remain as an advocacy and support group for continuing recreation issues The department has utilized grant funds for development projects but has never had a Broward County cultural grant. The department and the City is committed to full utilization of resources and welcomes the opportunity to work with the County in this endeavor. C. Page 8 of 12 TR 8471 Exhibit A 15.

Cash Expenses The expenses of the project include $13,000 to the White -Willis Theatre, Inc. to provide instructors for the classes and technical assistance for the two community exhibition/productions. $10,000 will be grant funds and $3,000 from City matching funds. The in-house personnel (administrative) expenses are the salaries of City of Tamarac staff: Recreation Superintendent Special Events Coordinator Adult Services Coordinator Public Information Officer for a sum of $3,500.

Are there any unique populations in the organization's service area? (e.g. at -risk, youth, the disadvantaged, persons with disabilities, ethnic populations, elderly populations). Which of these populations will your CAE project serve? The City of Tamarac is in the northwestern area of Broward County. Tamarac has a population of over 50,000. Our activities draw participation from the neighboring cities of Coral Springs, Lauderhill and North Lauderdale. The 60* age group is over 54% of our population. Many of our seniors cannot travel on . their own and can only participate in city activities and programs because of our transportation program. Our younger population is growing. Many families are moving into Tamarac because of the excellent community programs and feasible housing market. Tamarac Elementary School has been a critically overcrowded elementary school for several years. Overcrowding has its greatest impact on the offering of nonacademic programs, specifically the arts. The City of Tamarac has always provided the aftercare and camp programs for the TES and community children. There has been a significant increase in the ethnic diversity of our younger community. We have recently added a new emphasis on teen programming, recognizing that the child who started in our youth programs are growing older and are in need of suitable programs and activities. Transportation is also an issue for this group so we provide City transportation for teen programs. These three groups will be served by the CAE project. The CAE project will offer opportunities for each of these groups to participate and share experiences; past, present and future. • Page 10 of 12 TR 8471 Exhibit A • 17.
