DECLARE AN EMERGENCY EXISTS AT LAKE CHILD DECEMBER 16, 2008
.CARE CENTER IN SAN PABLO
The cost to remove, abate and replace these sections of the floor and walls that are affected is
approximately $ 40,000. However, this amount may change once the wall and floor boards are
opened. It will take an outside contractor approximately three weeks to complete all of the work.
The impacted children have been moved to other classrooms. Since CSB is required to maintain full
enrollment at all times, the transfer of these children into already full classrooms creates
overcrowding, which, given the present circumstances, cannot be avoided. CSB will continue to
provide child care services at Lake with the remaining three classrooms. Both matters present
potential health and safety issues that must be resolved quickly for the health and safety of the
children, parents and.staff.
The Employment and Human Services Department, Community Services Bureau, has requested that
the General Services Department immediately retain a contractor to provide emergency abatement
and renovation services at the Lake Child Care Center in San Pablo.
