APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Community Services Director or designee to execute

Administration for Children and Families. Funding has been added via an appropriation
adjustment. First Baptist Church is responsible for the local, non-cash, in-kind match of
$47,500.
III. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Community Services Department Head Start Program supports two of Contra Costa
County's community outcomes: "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School" and
"Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing." These outcomes are achieved by offering
comprehensive services, including high quality early childhood education, nutrition, health,
and social services, along with a strong parent involvement focus, to low-income children
throughout Contra Costa County. The overall goal of the program is to bring about a
greater degree of social competence in preschool children from low-income families.
1V. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
On April 24, 2001 the Board of Supervisors approved and authorized submission of a Grant
Application to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) for Head Start Improvement Grant Funding.
These Head Start Improvement Grant funds are provided as Head Start One-Time Program
Improvement funding. The Board of Supervisors will review acceptance of this award on
December 11, 2001. Accepting this award will allow the County's Head Start program to
construct a facility at the County's Verde site, renovate the County's Balboa site, and add a
modular classroom and playground equipment to the First Baptist delegate agency site.
Approval of this amendment with First Baptist Church will allow this delegate agency to
purchase a Modular unit and playground equipment in order to provide a safe childcare
.center for children being served at the Odyessa Center in Pittsburg CA.
This contract will be reviewed and approved as to form by County Counsel prior to
execution.
