Community Service Schedule
The following is a draft community service schedule for the program's first
year of operation.
Team Supervisors will remain the same, for the most part, but participants
will move around and complete various projects throughout their year of
service. Spike Camp opportunities will exist for the residential as well as
the non-residential crews.
Each residential participant will spend some time during their year
assigned to the camp to perform camp related activities. Residents will rotate
every other week.
A community service record will be on file for all community service
projects.

Date: Nov 07,94 9:30 AM
We're up and running. 80 went through orientation last week, today
they started a rehab project on the Devil Fire. This will be a large
group effort as safety and additional training will be involved. The
media is coming out tomarrow to see how the rehab is going as well as
report on AmeriCorps. We're getting ready to do another in-house
newsletter, I'll get copies to you. I would still like to have you
come down and meet our folks, I'll get some dates to you. We'll be
having one to two dates per month where everyone will gather for
reflection, safety, team mtg's, etc.
Also: I have the concept paper for FY'96 about ready to submit, I
just want to run it by the forest leadership team first. What date
would you like it submitted to the RO so that you can have it into WO
by the 21st? If you need any help in pulling the regional package
together I'd be available to help out, just let me know.
I'll give you a call, I have some thoughts about the R5-FY'96 program.
That's about it, overall, we're feeling pretty good about our
start-up, still a lot to do, but overall- everything is going well.

Message:
Yesterday, Tim Read, BLM Recreation & Wilderness Branch Chief called
to say how pleased he was with the rehab work being done on the
Devil Fire. I haven't returned his call yet, although this morning I
came in and his business card was on my desk. He is very interested
in using our crews, apparently he was impressed with the work on the
rehab project. He wants to discuss BLM getting involved with our
program. Also received a call from CDF concerning the cost of our
crews for the FEMA-Idywild Hazard Protection project. Apparently
they expect a FEMA decision soon. They want to select three
communities in California to do a major hazard reduction/fire
protection project. I made a presention at their last CRIMP meeting.
I will coordinate any response with the DR. rs
Erna/Lou: Not sure we'll have final decisions from other agencies by
the Nov 21 Concept Paper due date, but I will reference them in our
paper.
Erna: Do you have a date that you would like the Concept Papers
into your office?

AMERICORPS/USDA - PROJECTS IN CALIFORNIA
AmeriCorps is a program that engages diverse groups of
Americans in performing critical service to meet human,
environmental, public safety, and educational needs in return for
vouchers for education, vocational training, or loan repayment.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is running three types of
AmeriCorps teams, composed of approximately 1,200 members, at 42
urban and rural sites nationwide: an Anti-Hunger Team, a Public
Lands and Environment Team, and a Rural Development.
In the Anti-Hunger Team, members are working to help thousands
of low-income families and individuals improve their diets and move
toward self-sufficiency.
In the Public Lands and Environment Team, members are helping
communities reduce environmental hazards and are working on public
lands to conserve, restore, and sustain natural habitats.
The Rural Development Team groups members in regional and
state cluster of 20 paraprofessionals who are assisting rural
communiteis in identifying needs and resources necessary for
economic, human, and environmental well-being.
Natural Resources and Conservation Service (NRCS)
Number of AmeriCorps Members: 30
Flood-Related Project
In San Bernadino County, AmeriCorps members are working with
tribal leaders at the Morongo Indian Reservation to address that
community's flood-related damage. The reservation is experiencing
severe eroision which is threatening homes. AmeriCorps members and
their NRCS technical experts are surveying and documenting damage
with the goal of designing solutions for preventing the mud flow
into the homes.
In addition, NRCS is sponsoring Rural Development Teams in a
number of counties in California.
The AmeriCorps members in Apple Valley have been working with
local agencies and groups to streamline the permit process for soil
scientist to be able to analyze the soil for mapping. They also
have completed an update of the prime farmlands map for San
Bernardino County to identify those aras that are considered to be
either prime farmland, farmlands of statewide importance, or unique
farmlands.
The AmeriCorps members in Auburn are working on a project to
reduce the possibility of catastrophic wildfires.
The AmeriCorps members in Lancaster are working with residents
of the 1993 Kinneloa fire area in Los Angeles County on mitigation
plans to protect residents and their property along the rural/urban
interface of the fire area.
In Petuluma, Santa Rosa, and Ukiah, the six AmeriCorps members
are working on watershed projects such as assisting dairy farmers
in learning to use test kits to test water quality.

PLAN FOR COLLECTING OBJECTIVES - RELATED DATA
Data collection will be reviewed by the program director weekly, and will
be included in the annual report. Four methods of data collection will be
utilized;
First, all Team Supervisors will submit, weekly, a Team Summary
Report. This report will document individual project progress, cost
incurred, support received from non-AmeriCorps project participants,
safety meetings held, education and training provided specific to the
project and a brief diary of significant events. A program managers
file will be developed for each project and will include all original
documentation for individual projects.
Second, all residential camp staff and residential living and activity
leaders will submit weekly a consolidated Summary of Planned
Activities that list activities that participants may become involved
in, such as off duty recreational events or educational activities.
Also to be submitted will be an Activity Accomplishment Roster for the
previous week that list individual participation in planned
activities. A brief diary will be included to document any additional
significant activity during non-project work hours.
Third, required monthly, the program administrative officer will
provide a summary of participant hours worked, training and education
received, and a budget summary for all program activities, and
Fourth, all participants will be required to provide weekly, a Time
and Accomplishment Report The report will list hours worked and
include a brief diary of activities participated in during the week.
A blank copy of this report will be placed in each participants
mailbox at the beginning of each week, along with an activities
summary and program directors message. Periodically, participants may
be asked to provide specific input about program areas. (Participants
will have an opportunity to express their feeling or concerns at the
programs Monday morning breakfast meetings. These weekly gatherings
will include all program participants, staff and director.)
Non of the documentation listed above, with the exception of the
administrative officer's monthly report, will take more that a few minutes
each day to complete. If it's found that the reports are not serving there
intended purpose, we will re-think and re-develop our process.
