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

six week program would begin on June 21,° 1993 and end on July 30, 1993, at a cost of
$7,500. In 1992 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 1993.
The Policy & Strategy Committee of the Advisory Housing Commission received
this Child Development Program proposal on May 19, 1993 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
