BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS „
On August 13, 1991, the Board of Supervisors approved Child Care Mitigation Agreements with
various property owners in the Contra Costa Centre Area, approved a Child Care Program
Administration Agreement with the Contra Costa Centre Association. The agreements provided
for a monetary contribution on the part of the property owners for child care mitigation and for
the Contra Costa Centre Association to undertake a Child Care Subsidy Program with the
interest earnings on said funds. Funds could also be used for capital contributions to child care
projects that would increase the amount of available child care space that serves the Contra
Costa Centre Area.
Contra Costa Centre has developed and implemented a Child Care Subsidy Program since
1993. The program provides for a subsidy payment to the qualified employees to offset a
portion of their child care costs. The Contra Costa Centre Association anticipates subsidizing
only those families whose incomes fall below $54,000 annually. Child care costs would be
reimbursed on a sliding scale. The program budget allows approximately 40 participant
families. On average, the families pay $150 per week for child care expenses. The Child Care
Subsidy Program reimburses an average of $75.00 per month.
