Discussion
With the rising level of youth who are experiencing mental health issues, the Parks and
Recreation Department has been actively working to make youth and teen engagement a
priority by providing Cupertino teens with robust program offerings that foster
physical, mental and social development.
2019 in Review:
Continuing the department's goal of providing targeted and expanded programming,
seven new youth and teen initiatives were introduced in 2019. New programming,
events and updates are outlined below:
Cupertino Cafe
The Cupertino Cafe is a collaboration with the Youth Activity Board which opens City
facilities to Cupertino teens and gives teens a dedicated place to study and crunch for
final exams while being able to socialize, participate in recreation activities, and enjoy
snacks. Mobile recreation activities are set-up to give students a brief respite from their
studies and unwind by playing a game of corn hole, ping pong, foosball, or various
board games. This event is the latest effort in creating ways for teens to de -stress from
school, socialize with their peers, and educate them on the positive value of recreation.
Youth Activity Board
The Youth Activity Board (YAB) is a leadership group that consists of highly dedicated
middle and high school students who plan and lead events for youth and teens in
Cupertino. The Cupertino YAB collaborates with Parks and Recreation staff to develop
and execute these new programs. The primary goal of the YAB is to create engaging and
fun activities that aid with social engagement, stress relief, and the discovery of
recreational activities.
Techie Teens
The primary goal of Cupertino's Techie Teens volunteer program at the Senior Center is
to help teens give back to the community by engaging the 50+ community to assist in
developing their technological skills. Our volunteers gain the following experiences:
leadership roles, public speaking opportunities, interpersonal communication, and
much more
Youth Civic Engagement Forum
The intent of this platform was to give youth and teens an opportunity to provide input
on the citywide Parks and Recreation System Master Plan which will guide the City's
development, renovation, and activation of City parks, recreation facilities, and trails for
the next 20+ years.
TEDx Talk
The Cupertino Teen Commission and Cupertino Library Teen Advisory Board
partnered together for the first time to organize the TEDx Youth@TorreAve event, a
local, self -organized event designed to bring people together to share a TED-like
experience. The theme of this event was "Innovation: Out of the Box'. Six teens were
selected to inspire discussion and show teens that they can make an impact in the
community through novel ideas and help fill the creative gaps created by
misinformation and social barriers.
Wellness Carnival
A collaboration between FUHSD's IntraDistrict Council (IDC) and the City of Cupertino,
the Wellness Carnival was held at Homestead High School for students. This event
brought mobile recreation activities to the local high school for students to enjoy. The
Wellness Carnival was the culminating event of FUHSD's Stress -Free Week which
helped students de -stress during the final week in April.
Teen Center Facility Improvements
The Cupertino Teen Center was recently renovated to transform into a customizable and
collaborative space. Facility improvements made include painting, unisex restrooms,
new carpeting, and new furniture. Technology improvements include expanded internet
cabling, 3 new TVs, a roaming TV, 2 new iMacs, 4 gaming computers, and free printing.
These enhancements allowed for all gaming and technology to be moved into the Tech
Room and made way to develop the Infinity Room, a meeting space for Cupertino teens
to meet and collaborate with group study sessions, club meetings, workshops, and other
cooperative projects. The goals of the facility improvements were to create a (1) mixed -
use, flexible facility using Silicon Valley workspace environments as inspiration and (2)
help relieve weekend library attendance by having a collaborative space that teens can
reserve. Plans for the Infinity Room came from a 2014 Teen Center survey in where over
1,000 respondents said that they wanted more study/collaborative space.
Programming in 2020
City staff are looking to continue developing youth and teen offerings while the Teen
Commission is undergoing discussions for proposed work program items. The Youth
Activity Board will be entering its second year and recruitment season is imminent as
many YAB members shall be graduating this spring.
City staff anticipates that many existing programs and events will recur and continue to
thrive in 2020. The following timeline indicates the activities planned for 2020:

City of Cupertino and various internal and external partners to bring the department's
robust offerings to the youth and teen population.

Discussion
The City of Cupertino hosted various holiday activities in December: Tree lighting,
Breakfast with Santa, Signing Santa, Santa Visits, Holiday Ham Lunch, Holidays in
Hawaii, Holiday Sing -a -Long and Birthday Bash.
Events
Tree Lighting (12/6/2019):
The Parks and Recreation Department hosted Cupertino's annual Tree Lighting event, at
the Quinlan Community Center. Due to the rain, this outdoor event was moved
completely indoors. The event included musical entertainment from Business Casual —
an award -winning a cappella group, crafts, hot chocolate, cookies, a movie, balloon
animals, and a visit from Santa. Special thanks to the Santa Clara County Fire
Department for bringing Santa and his Elf to Quinlan on a fire engine. Tree Lighting
could not happen without the support of the Public Works Department. A huge thank
you to the Tree Division for hanging the lights on the Quinlan tree. This is not an easy
task, but they did an outstanding job! The tree looks absolutely beautiful! Tree lighting
hosted approximately 600 parents and children.
Breakfast with Santa (12/7/2019):
The 28th Annual Breakfast with Santa event was held at the Quinlan Community
Center. Over 300 participants enjoyed a morning of holiday cheer. The De Anza
Optimist Club of Cupertino, along with over 26 teen volunteers, supported staff to
provide a wonderful pancake/sausage breakfast, letter writing to Santa at Santa's Post
Office, and a variety of holiday-themed crafts for the Cupertino community. Na'
Hoaaloha Ho'okani Pila provided a wonderful musical performance and set the mood
for the spirit of the holidays. The highlight for many children and families was having
their picture taken with Santa ... a lasting memory for all! We hope to see all again next
year! Breakfast with Santa was sold out with 304 participants.
Signing Santa (12/14/2019):
The Parks and Recreation Department introduced a unique holiday event — Signing
Santa! This event was the first of its kind in the Bay Area and provided an opportunity
for deaf and hard of hearing children to talk to Santa using American Sign Language
(ASL). Santa was accompanied by an interpreter, so he was able to communicate with all
family members. More than 70 people attended the event and enjoyed crafts, cookies,
and hot cocoa, along with some quality time with Santa. Staff was very pleased with the
turnout and plans to continue offering Signing Santa in the future. Signing Santa
registered 71 participants in its inaugural year,
Santa Visits (12/14, 15, 20, 21, 22/2019):
The Cupertino Parks and Recreation Department aided Santa in visiting over 30 homes
this season. Santa and his elf join Cupertino families in their home for a magical meet -
and -greet that ends with a delicious candy cane. This in -home event is offered to
Cupertino Residents only and consists of 15-minutes of North Pole magic. Santa Visited
31 homes in the 2019 season.
Senior Center Events
Holiday Ham Lunch (12/6/2019)
This event fed 45 members a hearty meal of ham, mashed potatoes, green beans, salad, a
roll, and triple chocolate cake. The opportunity to eat at the center before engaging in
the usual Friday activities —bingo, mah jongg, ping pong, or the book review, was a
lively change for the Friday crowd
Holidays in Hawaii (12/4/2019)
The Senior Center's very own Lei Nani Hula dancers and the Pila Ho' Okani band
hosted over 100 guests in a hula performance and lesson accompanied by seasonal tunes
with a Hawaiian twist.
Holiday Sing -a -Long (12/11/2019)
The second week of December saw the Senior Center's all -volunteer Harmonikatz band
lead an audience of over 80 in Hawaiian holiday songs —even Santa himself made a
guest appearance at the beginning of the show
Birthday Bash (12/18/2019)
The Senior Center wrapped up its holiday season with the December Birthday Bash,
feeding 117 seniors a meal of tri-tip, scalloped potatoes, holiday salad, sweet ginger
carrots, and New York cheesecake.

by Department Heads and the City Manager when developing the proposed City Work Program
for Council's consideration. When the proposed City Work Program is brought to Council in

Work Program is adopted by Council, Commissions will then develop their Commission Work
Programs based upon the items relevant to them in the approved City Work Program. Smaller
items that do not require staff time or budget may be added to the Commission Work Program
at this point in the process. Final Commission Work Programs should be brought for Council's
approval as consent items before July. For a flow chart of this process, see the City Work Program
Flow Chart.
Guidance on Commission Proposals for the City Work Program
Commission proposals for the City Work Program should be within the purview of the
Commission, have timelines of 12 months or less, and identify projects or deliverables the
Commission would be interested in addressing over the course of the next fiscal year. When
developing proposals, consider constraints related to:
• Staff resources,
• Budget, and
• Demands from routine business of the Commission.
If there are existing City Work Program items that the Commission would like to propose
continuing into the upcoming year, the Commission should include these items in their list of
proposals. Please identify:
• The Commission's top three proposals to aid in the prioritization process and
• No more than 10 proposals total for submission. There is no minimum number of
proposals required. Please note that not all proposals will be included in the proposed
City Work Program. When the proposed City Work Program is brought to Council, the
proposals submitted by Commissions will be provided as attachments with indications as
to which proposals are reflected in the proposed City Work Program.
GUIDANCE ON COMMISSION PROPOSALS FOR CITY WORK PROGRAM
Suggested steps to develop Commission proposals for the City Work Program:
1. Review the purpose of the Commission as defined by the Cupertino Municipal Code in
Chapter 2.
2. Discuss and outline any priorities established by Council such as from prior City Work
Programs.
3. Brainstorm proposals relating to the Commission and determine the following:
a. Identify potential projects and deliverables relevant to the Commission.
b. Determine the benefit if the project or deliverable is completed.
c. Is it mandated by State or local law or by Council direction/priority?
d. Would the task or item require a policy change at the Council level?
e. Identify resources needed for completion such as staff time, creation of
Commission subcommittees, coordination with other Commissions etc.
f. What is the timeline to completion? (1 year, 2 year, or longer term?)
i. Proposals should be completable within the upcoming fiscal year (within
12 months). If a project or deliverable will take more than a year, it should
be broken up into phases and the proposal submission should only
include what can be accomplished in the upcoming fiscal year.
g. Determine measurement and evaluation criteria. How will you know you are on
track? How will you determine success?
4. Prioritize projects from urgent to low priority.
5. Identify the top three proposals from the Commission that can reasonably be
accomplished or worked on in the coming year.
6. Submit the Commission Proposals for City Work Program Form.
