SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR AUTHORITY TO PURCHASE A SUBREGIONAL BREAKDOWN OF
CHILDREN IN CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING THE
UNMET NEED FOR CHILD CARE IN THE COUNTY
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
AUTHORIZE the County Administrator to spend not to exceed $200 to
purchase a breakdown of the number of children by age within
subregional areas within Contra Costa County from the U.S. Census
for use by the Child Care Task Force in estimating the unmet child
care needs in the County.
BACKGROUND:
One of the charges given to the. Child Care Task Force is to
determine the unmet need for child care in Contra Costa County and
plan for how that unmet need can be met. Data is now available
from the 1990 census on the number of children in the County by
various economic categories . Additional detail on the breakdown of
the number of children is. also available for six subregions within
the County, by age group and economic category. Obtaining this
additional detailed breakdown will cost $200 . * .This information is
essential in order to determine the need for child care in each
area of the County and then to plan for how to meet that need in
each area of the County.
The Child Care Task Force, at its last meeting on November 22,
1993, voted to ask the Board of Supervisors to allow the County
Administrator to spend $200 to obtain this additional detailed
breakdown. Without access to the census information, it will be
impossible to provide a description of the unmet child care needs
in the County with any degree of accuracy.
