Description of proposed program or project-is this a new or continuing program or project. Continuing Project. Valley West Senior Center provides congregate meals, social activities, companionship, and transportation to 1,150 low-income senior and disabled adults in the Glendale area. YWCA coordinates services among four locations to provide nutritionally balanced hot meals at noon, educational opportunities, self- improvement activities, health screenings, health fairs, activities, and outings to engage and support clients. YWCA delivers meals and companionship to clients who are homebound and provides other transportation as needed. Home meal delivery also serves as a social visit and wellness check. These visits often loneliness, isolation, and mental health status checks. The Centers also provide pet food for client animal companions through our We Feed Four Feet program. All YWCA program staff are trained and undergo background checks. Program Goal: 1) Seniors and/or disabled adults eat at least one nutritious meal each week day. Objectives: 1) Provide 33,000 congregate meals to seniors and disabled adults in the Glendale area at one of four multi-cultural centers. 2) Deliver 60,000 hot, nutritious meals to homes of seniors and disabled adults unable to visit one of our Centers. Activities: 1) Serve one hot, nutritious meal each weekday at one of three senior center locations and once a month at an additional senior center. 2) Registered dietitian approves all meal menus. 3) Provide transportation to and from each senior center location for congregate lunch participants. 4) Provide meal delivery for homebound participants. 5) Schedule Health and Wellness presentations at two centers twice a month. 6) Provide socialization activities, special events, community resources, supplemental food programs, health fairs, and health screenings to address loneliness and isolation. 2. Description of how the proposed program or project meets one or more of Fort McDowell’s funding priorities. This program serves the public by providing nutritious hot meals, disease prevention, wellness activities, recreational activities that promote physical fitness, nutrition in seniors and disabled adults. 2015 Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation Grant Request Narrative Submitted by YWCA Metropolitan Phoenix 3. Identification of the need your grant will address, target population and number of people who will be served. The City of Glendale reports that it’s fastest growing population segment is baby boomers, ages 55 to 64. This is the age group most at risk for senior hunger according to Meals on Wheels Association of America Foundation. In Glendale, 12% of the elderly live in poverty in comparison to the national average of 8.9%. The U.S. Senate Committee on Education and Labor maintains that proper nutrition extends seniors’ lives and helps them maintain independence when combined with recreation, socialization, and education. Nutrition programs prevent or delay placement of senior in nursing homes and help people manage chronic health conditions, according to the Massachusetts Dietetic Association. The AARP reports that more than one-third of seniors surveyed are lonely, and the statistics are higher for low- income seniors (Loneliness Among Older Adults, A National Survey by AARP, September 2010.) In general, better nutrition improves overall health, immune systems, and functionality. Key findings from our statistics include that 57% of participants report their meal from YWCA as their main meal and 47% report as their only meal of the day. The impact is that a majority of the elderly participants avoid hunger and hunger related illness. This program will serve approximately 1,150 low-income disabled adults and seniors in Glendale aged 55 years and older. 4. Brief description of partners in the program or project or other entities providing funding and support Indication of any other applications made to and/or awards granted by other tribes/nations. The YWCA collaborates and shares resource with several agencies in the west Valley with a goal to eliminate elderly hunger, and the only organization that delivers meals to the elderly in the West Valley. The Valley West Senior Center coordinates meal service and delivery among three other multi-cultural centers including Glendale Community Center, Glendale Adult Center, and the Japanese Senior Center. The City of Glendale provides recreation and socialization activities. St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance shares maintenance food and supply items, and stocks our food pantry with take home items. Gleaners Brown Bag Program supplies free food products out of the Valley West Senior Center weekly and Waste Not provides excess food products. The YWCA Center also collaborates with the Area Agency on Aging to develop, coordinate, and deliver services to seniors. For more than 10 years, the YWCA Center also provides free use of our facility and multi-passenger van during off hours to the DEFAP and Fiesta Mexicana Dance Company, nonprofit whose mission is to reduce teenage drug abuse.

Arizona State University (ASU) is a state university under the jurisdiction of ABOR. Under Section 115 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), income derived by a state political subdivision from the exercise of an essential governmental function is not subject to federal income tax. Therefore, income derived by ASU is not subject to federal income tax pursuant to Section 115 of the Code. As a consequence to qualifying under the provisions of Section 115 of the Code, the following should be noted: • Taxpayers are allowed to claim charitable contribution deductions under Section 170 of the Code for gifts, grants, or contributions to ASU in the same manner and to the same extent as if ASU were a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code. • ASU is not a private foundation as defined in Section 509(a) of the Code because that section only relates to those organizations that are tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code. • ASU, as a state political subdivision, is not required to file annual Forms 990 with the IRS. A copy of the determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated March 17, 1994 to ASU Comptroller and Treasurer confirming the tax status of ASU is attached. Please contact the ASU Office of General Counsel with any questions about the tax status of ASU. Sincerely, rgA.

Box 17779 Fountain Hills, AZ 85269 Re: Proposition 202 Application Arizona State University Dear Mrs. Castaneda: Bob Ramsey Executive Education at Arizona State University respectfully submits an application for Proposition 202, Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation. Funding would enable us to offer a Certified Public Manager® Program in Holbrook, Arizona, with the goal of developing the management and leadership competencies of public administrators in Northeast Arizona. A Certified Public Manager® Program requires 25-35 participants for an optimal learning experience. The program fee is $3,225 per participant. We are requesting funding for however many scholarships (up to 35) and whatever amount per scholarship (up to $3,225 per scholarship) the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation is willing to fund. The scholarship recipients or their employers would be required to pay the unfunded portion of the program fee. The contact information for local government entity is: Amanda Nash, Legislative Analyst Maricopa County Government Relations 301 W.

Monroe Street, Ste. C-105 Phoenix, AZ 85004 Office: 602.496.1308 Email: Hector.Zelaya@asu.edu Thank you, and please let me know if you have any questions. Sincerely, Hector Zelaya Director, Bob Ramsey Executive Education School of Public Affairs, Arizona State University NARRATIVE Proposition 202, Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation Grant Application March 31, 2015 1. PROPOSED PROGRAM; NEW OR CONTINUING PROGRAM Arizona State University’s Bob Ramsey Executive Education is the only nationally accredited provider in Arizona of the Certified Public Manager® (CPM) Program. The program is accredited by the National CPM Consortium and is designed to improve the effectiveness of government agencies by developing the following competencies in its managers: Personal and Organizational Integrity Managing Work Leading People Developing Self Systemic Integration Public Service Focus Change Leadership The Certified Public Manager® Program at Arizona State University was developed in 1979. Over 2000 public managers have earned the CPM designation through ASU. The program is available in both an online and a classroom format in Downtown Phoenix. Because traveling to Downtown Phoenix once a week for a 9-month program is a logistical challenge for public administrators in Northeast Arizona, we propose launching a Certified Public Manager® Program in Holbrook. For added convenience, two of the five courses would be delivered online. 2. SATISFACTION OF FUNDING PRIORITY The Certified Public Manager® Program will meet the education priority funding area. Bob Ramsey Executive Education is a professional development center within the School of Public Affairs, which is part of the College of Public Service and Community Solutions at Arizona State University. Bob Ramsey Executive Education is the only nationally accredited provider of the Certified Public Manager® Program in the State of Arizona. The National Certified Public Manager® Consortium establishes the accreditation requirements. Certified Public Manager® (CPM) candidates are required to complete a minimum of 300 hours of structured learning activities addressing the CPM competency model. Each learning activity is designed to achieve specific learning objectives. Such learning activities may include application projects, structured readings, and other approved workshops/courses. Candidates also must complete a public management project, which includes a written demonstration of participants' effectiveness in applying the core competencies to their job environment. 3. PERCEIVED NEED, TARGET POPULATION, AND NUMBER OF PEOPLE Many municipal, county, state, and tribal government employees in Northeast Arizona who wish to become Certified Public Managers® are unable to travel to Downtown Phoenix on a weekly basis and lack the financial resources to pay for the certification program. A Certified Public Manager® Program in Northeast Arizona could potentially serve public administrators from Navajo County and Apache County, as well Coconino County. The combined population of Navajo County and Apache County is approximately 180,000. A Certified Public Manager® Program requires 25-35 participants for an optimal learning experience. The program fee is $3,225 per participant. We are requesting funding for however many scholarships (up to 35) and whatever amount per scholarship (up to $3,225 per scholarship) the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation is willing to fund. The scholarship recipients or their employers would be required to pay the unfunded portion of the program fee. 4. OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, PARTNERS OR FUNDERS PARTICIPATING IN THE PROJECT AND THEIR ROLES; OTHER APPLICATION MADE/AWARDS GRANTED No other organizations or partners would participate in the management of this project. However, Navajo County would help promote the Certified Public Manager® Program throughout the Northeast region and help determine a timeline that best serves the region’s needs. 5. TIMELINE FOR IMPLEMENTATION August 24, 2015: Grant Awarded September 2015: Announcement of Scholarship Availability February 2016: Sample start date for the CPM Program October 2016: Sample end date for the CPM Program and Graduation The timeline will depend on the start date of the first course. The start date will be determined through conversations with stakeholders such as Navajo County. The program duration is typically 9 months from the start of the program. ATTACHMENT Proposition 202, Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation Grant Application March 31, 2015 PROPOSED BUDGET. A Certified Public Manager® Program requires 25-35 participants for an optimal learning experience. The program fee is $3,225 per participant. We are requesting funding for however many scholarships (up to 35) and whatever amount per scholarship (up to $3,225 per scholarship) the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation is willing to fund. The scholarship recipients or their employers would be required to pay the unfunded portion of the program fee. PROJECT SUSTAINABILITY/LONG-TERM FUNDING RESOURCES. The Certified Public Manager® Program is already proven as a sustainable project. The Arizona program was developed by Arizona State University in 1979, and Bob Ramsey Executive Education currently delivers the CPM Program twice per year in a classroom format and twice per year in an online format. Over 2,000 public managers have earned their certification through ASU. Additionally, Bob Ramsey Executive Education has customized the Certified Public Manager® Program for organizations throughout Arizona and abroad.

Durango Street Phoenix, AZ 85009 Phone: 602-506-4608 Proposed project Fax: 602-506-4882 www.mcdot.maricopa.gov Located in unincorporated southwest Maricopa County in the Rainbow Valley Planning Area, the proposed new project consists of roadway improvements to Beloat Road at Tuthill Road. Improvements include: widening the road from the north side of the Tuthill Bridge to north of Beloat Road, construction of a dedicated left-turn lane and construction of an eastbound left-turn lane. MCDOT requests $275,000 in Proposition 202 funds for project construction. Funding priorities The proposed project satisfies the transportation priority funding area. Target population, number served and project need The Rainbow Valley Planning Area is located in one of the fastest growing regions in the country. Despite its rapid pace of growth, it remains a primarily farming and ranching community that contains several hundred single-family homes, significant areas of farmland and several large dairy farms. Tuthill Road provides the only route for Rainbow Valley Planning Area residents to reasonably access the greater Phoenix Metropolitan area. In addition, Beloat Road at Tuthill Road experiences significant commercial vehicle use given the economic importance of its agricultural and dairy farming operations in Rainbow Valley. Serving approximately 3000 vehicles daily, the Beloat Road at Tuthill Road intersection is considered a high-accident location, and the proposed project serves to mitigate public safety concerns by providing safer traveling conditions. In addition, improvement to this intersection is in the economic best interest of the Rainbow Valley Planning Area. When the intersection is closed due to an incident, several thousand noncommercial vehicles per day are diverted through school and residential areas, causing significant congestion and resulting in a detour of over 12 miles. When the intersection is closed due to an incident, commercial vehicles are prohibited from utilizing the same detour as noncommercial vehicles, and are required to travel a detour of over 100 miles along the next closest available truck route through Gila Bend to the south. Target population Rainbow Valley Planning Area residents Number served 3000 vehicles daily (approximately) Project need Mitigation of public safety concerns Page 2 Project partners The Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) will provide funding for right-of-way acquisition, scoping and design labor, engineering services, public outreach labor, maintenance, utility relocation, environmental services and clearances, and contingency funding for unseen problems. MCDOT will contribute approximately $200,000 for the proposed project. Timetable for implementation Project Activity Completion Date Scoping May 2016 Design October 2016 Construction March 2017
