COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT
DATE: December 16, 1997
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO SUBMIT APPLICATION FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
BLOCK GRANT FUNDS.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
AUTHORIZE the Community Services Director or designee to submit an application to the Contra Costa
County Community Development Department for $27,000 in Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds for Phase IV of the renovation and expansion of the Community Services Department's
Central Kitchen for the period from July 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No County funding is required. Funding for this project will be reflected in the Community Services
Department FY 1998-99 budget.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
On September 23, 1997, the Board approved the submission of a grant application in the amount of
$61,000 to the City of Richmond for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to purchase
kitchen equipment.
The funds from this application will be used in conjunction with the City of Richmond CDBG funds to
provide for the purchase and installation of equipment suitable for quantity food preparation and storage.
The Richmond area Central kitchen, for which this funding is used, provides daily meals for 1,300 children
currently enrolled in the Community Services Child Development and Head Start Programs.
Under welfare reform, the demand for child care will increase dramatically and the need for additional
facilities for food preparation will grow accordingly. Approval of this application will allow the County to
equip the Central kitchen to 85% of the final goal of 3,000 meals per day.
