AS FOLLOWS:
1. City agrees to give Recipient and the Recipient agrees to accept from City the
City Council approved amount of $150,000, to be distributed in two equal payments of $75,000
each, which shall constitute full and complete compensation for Recipient's services under this

2001, with the second payment covering the period of January 1, 2002, through June 30, 2002.

Page 1 of 5
to Recipient or any other person for, and Recipient shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold
harmless Indemnitees from and against, any and all liabilities, claims, actions, causes of action,
proceedings, suits, damages, judgments, liens, levies, costs, and expenses of whatever nature,
including reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements (collectively, "Claims"), which
Indemnitees may suffer or incur or to which Indemnitees may become subject by reason of or
arising out of any injury to or death of any person(s), damage to property, loss of use of
property, economic loss or otherwise occurring as a result of or allegedly caused by the
Recipient's performance of or failure to perform any services under this Agreement, or by the
negligent or willful acts or omissions of Recipient, its agents, officers, directors, or employees,
committed in performing any of the services under this Agreement.
If any action or proceeding is brought against Indemnitees by reason of any of the
matters against which Recipient has agreed to indemnify Indemnitees as provided above,
Recipient, upon notice from City, shall defend Indemnitees at its expense by counsel
acceptable to City, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld. Indemnitees need not
have first paid for any of the matters to which Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification in
order to be so indemnified. The limits of the insurance required to be maintained by Recipient
in this Agreement shall not limit the liability of Recipient hereunder. The provisions of this
section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
The provisions of this section do not apply to Claims occurring as a result of the City's
active negligence or willful acts of omission.
5. Without limiting City's right to indemnification, it is agreed that Recipient shall
secure prior to commencing any activities under this Agreement, and maintain during the term
of this Agreement, insurance coverage (if applicable) and consistent with standards in such
agencies as follows:
A. General Liability and Property Damage Insurance: Recipient agrees
to procure and maintain general liability and property damage insurance at its sole expense
to protect against loss from liability imposed by law for damages on account of bodily injury,
including death therefrom, suffered or alleged to be suffered by any person or persons
whomsoever, resulting directly from any act or activities of Recipient, its subconsultants, or
any person acting for Recipient or under its control or direction, and also to protect against
loss from liability imposed by law for damages to any property of any person caused directly or
indirectly by or from acts or activities of Recipient, or its subconsultants, or any person acting
for Recipient, or under its control or direction. Such public liability and property damage
insurance shall also provide for and protect City against incurring any legal cost in defending
claims for alleged loss. Such general liability and property damage insurance shall be
maintained in the following minimum limits: A combined single -limit policy with coverage
limits in the amount of $1,000,000 per occurrence will be considered equivalent to the required
minimum limits.
Page 2 of 5
B. Automotive Insurance: Recipient shall procure and maintain public
liability and property damage insurance coverage for automotive equipment with coverage
limits of not less than $500,000 combined single limit. If Recipient does not own automobiles,
Recipient shall provide a waiver releasing City from all liability resulting from Recipient's
use of personal vehicles on project.
C. Worker's Compensation Insurance: Recipient shall procure and
maintain Worker's Compensation Insurance in such amount as will fully comply with the laws
of the State of California and which shall indemnify, insure, and provide legal defense for both
Recipient and City against any loss, claim, or damage arising from any injuries or
occupational diseases happening to any worker employed by Recipient in the course of
carrying out the Agreement.
D. General Insurance Requirements
a) All insurance shall be primary insurance and shall name the City of
Santa Clarita as additional insured with exception to Worker's Compensation. The naming of
an additional insured shall not affect any recovery to which such additional insured would be
entitled under the policy if not named as an additional insured, and an additional insured shall
not be held liable for any premium or expense of any nature on the policy or any extension
thereof solely because they are an additional insured thereon.
b) If the operation under this Agreement results in an increased or
decreased risk in the opinion of the City's Risk Manager, then Recipient agrees that the
minimum limits hereinabove designated shall be changed accordingly upon written request by
the Risk Manager.
c) Recipient agrees that provisions of this paragraph as to maintenance
of insurance shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which Recipient may
be held responsible for the payment of damages to persons or property resulting from
Recipient's activities, the activities of its subconsultants, or the activities of any person or
persons for which Recipient is otherwise responsible.
d) A Certificate of Insurance and Endorsement evidencing the above
insurance coverage with a company acceptable to the City's Risk Manger shall be submitted
to City prior to execution of this agreement on behalf of the City.
e) The terms of the insurance policy or policies issued to provide the
above insurance coverage shall provide that said insurance may not be amended or canceled
by the carrier, for nonpayment of premiums otherwise, without 30 days prior written notice of
amendment or cancellation to City. In the event the said insurance is canceled, Recipient
shall, prior to the cancellation date, submit new evidence of insurance in the amounts
heretofore established.
D All required insurance must be in effect prior to awarding the grant,
and it or a successor policy must be in effect for the duration of the agreement. Maintenance
of proper insurance coverage is a material element of the Agreement, and the failure to
maintain and renew coverage or to provide evidence of renewal may be treated by the City as
a material breach of contract. If Recipient, at any time during the term of this Agreement,
should fail to secure or maintain any insurance required under this Agreement, City shall be
permitted to obtain such insurance in Recipient's name and shall be compensated by
Recipient for the cost of the insurance premiums.

6. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as limiting in any way the extent to
which Recipient may be held responsible for payments of damages to persons or property
resulting from Recipient's or its subcontractor's performance of the work covered under this
Agreement.
7. This agreement supersedes any and all agreements, either oral or written, between
the parties hereto with respect to the services by the Recipient for City and contains all of the
covenants and agreements between the parties with respect to the rendering of such services
in any manner whatsoever. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that no
representations, inducements, promises, or agreements, either orally or otherwise, have been
made by any party, which are not embodied herein, and that no other agreement, statement,
or promise not contained in this Agreement shall be valid or binding. Any modification of this
Agreement will be effective only if it is in writing signed by the party to be charged.
8. The period of this Agreement shall extend from the effective date and expire
June 30, 2002. However, this Agreement may be extended year to year after its initial
expiration, based upon the same terms and conditions, and upon request by the Recipient and
approval by the City Council.
9. Recipient agrees that funds shall be disbursed or encumbered no later than June
30, 2002, and that any and all funds remaining as of June 30, 2002, which have not been
disbursed or encumbered shall be returned to City.
10. Recipient agrees to indemnify and hold City, its officers, agents and employees
harmless from any and all claims of the United States of America for reimbursements of funds
or any portion thereof due to the improper use of funds.
11. Pursuant to Senate Bill 542, chaptered in 1999, the Employment Development
Department (EDD) of the State of California requires that a W-9 Form be filed by all vendors
for all contracts entered into with the City that meet or exceed $600 in value. Recipient

Dear Adele,
Thank you for you assistance in our on-going relationship to provide viable recreation, education,
volunteerism and life long learning opportunities for the elders of our community. With your new
involvement in this vital relationship, I feel certain we can continue to make great strides in our service to the
community and in particular to our senior citizens.
To expedite the information you are requesting, I am summarizing our accomplishments last year with a
historical reference as it pertains to this contract. Normally, our comprehensive analysis is conducted with
our annual report that is available in November of each year.
Prior to receiving funding from the City of Santa Clarita in fiscal year 1990-1991 our agency was providing a
modicum of recreational services that served an approximate 1,200 people. Through our small variety of
programs at that time, we had an approximate participation level of 14,000. This number equates to 1,200
people signing in for one recreational activity or another. These activities could range from 1 hour to several
days booked on one of our trips and tours activities. In 1991-1992, this participation grew by 50 percent to
over 28,000 "sign -in signatures" at one activity or another. With City funding in 1992-1993, our recreational
programming expanded and grew by 36 percent from the previous year. Unduplicated participation grew an
approximate 66 percent to over 2000 people.
Bringing you further up-to-date in more recent years with funding in the amount of $150,000 from the City of
Santa Clarita for these activities; unduplicated participation in 1999 grew to an approximate 1,510 people
from the community and an additional 1028 people. These participants overlap from other program areas
and are also involved in our recreational programming. These people are initially registered with our
congregate meal program and primarily benefit from special events. Documentation from activity sign -in
sheets demonstrated a 93 percent increase in participation from 1992-1993 with 65,562 signatures.
In fiscal year ending June 2000 these numbers grew to 1,721 people in the community who registered in our
recreation programs and was augmented again by an approximate 1,257 seniors who overlap from other
program areas but are beneficiaries of the recreational programs. This growth period witnessed an
approximate increase in unduplicated persons of 440 people constituting a 17 percent increase In a single
year. Participation documented by signatures grew by 2.3 percent to 67,102.
Last year, 2000-2001 we experienced a problem with new computer software we purchased in hopes of
giving us a more comprehensive analysis. Numbers according to this software demonstrate a decrease in
signature documentation to 55,733 participations. Unduplicated persons also dropped by 450 4ffor a
t�IVED
Community Services
total of 2,528. 1 believe this last year's statistics are falsely skewed downward. We have returned to our
previous software for this year and hope to Improve on it with technical support.
Each year we have made significant progress in providing new and expanded programming to reflect the
interests of our constituency. First and foremost to our thinking and operations is our emphasis on
intergenerational programming. We are the only agency of our type, to my knowledge, that incorporates this
strategy. It is not uncommon to see two or perhaps three generations of the same family taking a computer
class, an art class or a dance class together. By allowing and promoting intergenerational programming, we
help to break down ageism and its barriers throughout the community. The intergenerational friendships that
develop enhance the quality of life across the board in our community and promote a healthy outlook by
younger people towards the issues and stereotypes of aging.
This category of programming at our agency includes a strong and proactive organization of volunteers that
serve the community as a whole. We have more than 300 volunteers who give on average an estimated
44,000 hours of community service.
The City's funding of our recreational, educational and life long learning activities include the major
categories of trips and tours, exercise programs, art programs, computer training, internet training, group
activities, consumer education, crafts, special events, training, community chorus and musical groups, free
medical screenings, health fairs for the community, flu clinics and other special events throughout the year.
I am attaching the complete list of our individual activities and services offered rather than repeating them
here. I am also enclosing our last Annual Report and audit for your perusal. In addition, please also find
enclosed a budget for this contract for the time period FY 2001-2002.
In closing, you can see the tremendous yearly growth In our recreation, education and life long learning
activities. We anticipate that fiscal year 2001-2002 will witness an additional extraordinary growth period.
After many years, we have reached a level where we are now dedicating a Director level staff person to
further improve and innovate in these programs. We anticipate the expansion of our volunteer programs that
include a better collaboration with the City of Santa Clarita, a newsletter that will educate and inform seniors
and others of the services available in the community, take part in a national survey focusing on the needs
of the elderly in Santa Clarita, develop and provide monthly programming for the older residents of the City
in conjunction with Public Access Television and make additional progress on providing services in elder
congregate living facilities. I hope this information is useful to you in your Council report.
You ly,
Brad Berens, ecubve Director
Santa Clarita Valley Committee on Aging
