ATTESTED: April 21, 2015 David Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: Chris Heck, Deputy cc: Ericka Ramirez, Ressie Dayco, Haydee Ilan C. 66 To:Board of Supervisors From:Kathy Gallagher, Employment & Human Services Director Date:April 21, 2015 Contra Costa County Subject:2014-15 Antioch Kids' Clubs Inc. childcare services contract amendment #2 BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) Department contracts with a number of community-based organizations. The board approved the 2014-15 contract on June 24, 2014. The board approved an amendment to this contract on February 3, 2015. The first action passed through the increased daily rate provided by the State Department of Education to the County via the State Preschool contracts. The daily rate had been increased from $19.53 to $20.50 per Child Day of Enrollment for State Preschool and from $29.41 to $30.88 for General Childcare and Development. The second action was to decrease the number of slots for the State Preschool Part-Day program effective December 1, 2014. The Contractor had its direct contract with the California Department of Education increased; due to limited capacity, the Contractor elected to reduce the number of slots allocated to County-funded childcare programs from 192 to 48 slots, effective December 1, 2014. This board order seeks to add one childcare slot to the contract to provide Head Start Wraparound services. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If not approved, County will be unable to meet childcare needs in this geographic area and fulfill State Preschool program goals.
