Page | 13 APPENDIX C <br /> <br /> Provide classes in outdoor skills and plan organized low‐cost family‐oriented and <br />intergenerational outdoor adventures similar to Ridge Runners to area lakes, parks and <br />mountains. <br /> Develop low‐cost/free programs for families in neighborhood parks to encourage children and <br />families to get out and play. <br /> Develop a Park Steward Volunteer Program where individuals can provide environmental <br />enhancements, clean‐up, and coordinate other volunteers within local parks. <br /> <br /> <br />Cultural Arts and Community Events <br /> <br />Cultural arts and events that provide entertainment such as concerts and theatre productions as well as <br />those that develop skills in dancing, drama, music, and the arts will continue to grow as residents of all <br />ages and ethnicities seek these opportunities close to home. Participation in performing arts, including <br />music and dance, addresses creative interests and physical and mental health needs for youth. <br /> <br />Community special events that bridge the community and bring people together for recreation, cultural <br />expression and entertainment are popular programs. These events unite the community, and build <br />community identity and vitality. <br /> <br />Recommended Actions <br /> <br /> Since the opening of the Firehouse Arts Center, Amador Theater has experienced deferred <br />maintenance, programming reductions, and declining attendance. In light of the role <br />established by the Firehouse Arts Center, it is recommended that evaluation of the following <br />options be considered by the city: <br />o Explore the potential for establish a public/private partnership whereby the City <br />provides a private operator with a long‐term lease in exchange of ongoing programming <br />and maintenance services. <br />o Explore cost and operations planning estimates to renovate and program the facility to a <br />degree that is appropriate for its size and capacity. <br />o Study the impacts and potential of returning of the facility to the school district. <br /> Provide greater access to arts programs by offering them at venues close to home: <br />neighborhood facilities, parks, churches, museums, the library and shopping malls. <br /> Develop multi‐cultural arts programs and activities that promote personal connections among <br />participants and allow the community to highlight and share its diverse customs, celebrations <br />and diversions. <br /> Survey current participants and non‐participants to determine their preferences for additional <br />kinds of classes, and determine if there are any deterrents to their participation, such as <br />transportation or child care. <br /> Collaborate with local and regional arts organizations to maximize resources and expertise to <br />bring additional cultural programs to residents. <br /> Expand cultural events and creative experiences through community partnerships with <br />merchants, businesses, Chamber of Commerce, and other community organizations. <br /> Showcase different cultures in special event programming to enhance cultural understanding <br />and unity.
