HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA
TO: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS DATE: September 16, 1986
FROM: cc:
Perfecto Villarreal , Executive Director
SUBJECT:
LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR PRE-SCHOOL COORDINATING COUNCIL FUNDING REQUEST
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the Executive Director to prepare and submit a letter to the
Pittsburg City Council in support of the $100,000 funding request made by the
Pre-School Coordinating Council to assist in the expansion of the Child Care Center
in Pittsburg, as recommended by the Advisory Housing Commission.
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The Pre-School Coordinating Council is seeking funds to expand its Child Care
Center in Pittsburg, located next to the E1 Pueblo housing development. The
expansion .of the Child Care Center will enable the provision of child care for an
additional 50 children. The Child Care Center presently serves 80 children. In
addition to providing for additional child care services, the Pre-School Coordinating
Council would be able to permit greater public use of its multi-purpose room and
cafeteria if the facilities could be expanded.
Earlier this year the Pre-School Coordinating Council received a funding
commitment in the amount of $69,000 from the Contra Costa County Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program to finance part of the facility expansion. An
additional $6,000 will probably be allocated to the Pre-School Coordinating Council
from the CDBG Program later this year. Thus, the County's commitment would be
increased to $75;000.
The Pre-School Coordinating Council plans to submit a funding request for
$100,000 to the Pittsburg City Council to help finance .the expansion of the facility.
Mrs. Frances Greene, Executive Director of the Pre-School Coordinating Council , has
requested that the Housing Authority address a letter of support to the Pittsburg
City Council asking the City Council to fund the requested $100,000.

At its Regular Meeting on September 15, 1986, the Advisory Housing Commission
voted to recommend that the Executive Director prepare and submit a letter to the
Pittsburg City Council in support of the Pre-School Coordinating Council 's $100,000
financing request for help in financing the expansion of the Child Care Center in
Pittsburg.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to respond positively to the recommendation to submit a letter of
support for the Pre-School Coordinating Council 's $100,000 financing request from the
Pittsburg City Council could result in the expansion plans for the Child Care Center
in Pittsburg being delayed, thereby increasing the cost of the expansion and limiting
the child care facilities of the Center to the existing 80 openings.
