FROM: Phil Batchelor Contra
County Administrator
Costa
DATE: April 9, 1987 County
SUBJECT:
Legislation: Assembly Bill 2628 (Vasconcellos)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(,S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION-
Adopt a position of support for AB 2628 by Assemblyman John
Vasconcellos which would repeal a limitation on the ability of
day care programs to transport children to specified extended day
care programs.
BACKGROUND:
Under current law, transportation services for extended day care
programs can only be provided by school districts and county
offices of education. Supervisor Torlakson has brought to the
Board' s attention a situation in the Pittsburg School District.
The School District does not have sufficient vehicles available
to transport children to extended day care programs, but the
Pittsburg Preschool Coordinating Council does have available
sufficient vehicles which meet all applicable safety standards
and whose drivers meet all appropriate licensing standards. The
day care center operated by the Coordinating Council cannot,
however, legally use their vehicles to transport children because
of the limitation in existing law.
In 1986, Senator Roberti carried legislation which would have
repealed this provision. The bill passed the Legislature, but
was vetoed by the Governor for reasons unrelated to this
provision. Assemblyman Vasconcellos has now introduced AB 2628
which, among other things, repeals the limitation described
above. Since the repeal of this legislation is a part of the
Board' s 1987 legislative program, it is recommended that the
Board support AB 2628 .
