SUBJECT: SUMMER CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR EL PUEBLO CHILDREN
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE summer Child Development Program for children of E1 Pueblo, to be
operated by the Pre-School Coordinating Council , Inc. , and allocate $7,500 from the
Housing Authority's Local Management Fund to fund this program, as recommended by
the Advisory Housing Commission.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Housing Authority has adequate funds in the Local Management Fund to cover
the cost of this program.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
Since 1989 the Housing Authority has funded a summer Child Development
Program for children 2-1/2 to 5 years of age at El Pueblo in Pittsburg. The program
was very successful . A proposal has been received from the Pre-School Coordinating
Council , Inc. to operate a similar program this upcoming summer for 20 children, from
2-1/2 to 5 years of age, who live in the E1 Pueblo public housing development. This
six week program would begin on June 1, 1992 and end on July 11, 1992, at a cost of
$12,000. In 1991 the Housing Authority funded a four week summer program for 18
children for a four week period at a cost of $7,500. Staff recommended to the
Advisory Housing Commission that a similar program be funded for 1992.
The Policy & Strategy Committee of the Advisory Housing Commission received
this Child Development Program proposal on May 19, 1991 and has recommended that
a four week program, at a cost of $7,500, be funded from Housing Authority Local
Management funds. The Budget Committee reviewed this proposal and recommended that
the program be funded at 1992 levels again this year.
At its Regular Meeting on Tuesday, May 19, 1992 the Adv, ,..ory Housing Commission
voted to recommend approval of a four week summer Child Development Program for the
children of El Pueblo, to be operated by the Pre-School Coordinating Council , Inc.
and to allocate $7,500 in Local Management funds for the operation of the program.

IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board of Commissioners elect to not approve the expenditure of $7,500
from Housing Authority Local Management Funds to authorize the 1992 Summer Child
Development Program at E1 Pueblo, CAL 11-5, Pittsburg, the 2-1/2 to 5 year olds of
that area will be deprived of a very successful program which provides recreational ,
educational and social activities to its participants.
