August 4, 1986 Cointy SUBJECT: Legilation B-A3.6.9:6 SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION Recommendation: Adopt a position of support for AB 3696 (Bates) or any other legislation which provides an adequate cost-of-living adjustment for Schild day-care programs. Background: All State Department of Education programs, other than child day care, received a 5. 49% cost-of-living adjustment in the 1986-87 State Budget. The Legislature compromised on a 3 .16% adjustment for child day-care programs, which was. reduced by the Governor to 1%. Assemblyman Tom Bates is apparently prepared to amend AB3696, which currently deals with a related child-care issue, to increase the child day care cost-of-living adjustment to the 5 . 49% which all other State Department of Education programs received. The Contra Costa Children' s Council has asked the Board of Supervisors to support AB 3696 and their efforts to secure this increased cost-of-living adjustment. Contra Costa County receives $604,000 in child day-care funds, so any increase in the cost-of-living adjustment will be of direct benefit to the County. ( See additional background information contained in the attached letter from the Contra Costa Children' s Council) . AB 3696 is scheduled to be heard in the Senate Appropriations Committee on Monday, August 11, 1986.
