East County Boys & Girls Club proposes six core areas for program support for
EI Pueblo youth. The program explores personal adjustment issues, character
and leadership development, education and career development, health and life
skills, social recreation, and sports and fitness. Transportation for El Pueblo
youth to and from the Club will be provided by the East County Boys & Girls
Club. The program will begin June 19th and end August 25th. The East County
Boys & Girls Club has asked for $6,700. Staff spoke with East County Boys &
Girls Club and explained the Housing Authority would not be able to fund their full
request because of the amount available in the budget and funding requests from
other agencies. The amount recommended for approval is $6,000.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board of Commissioners elect not to approve the expenditure of
funds from the Housing Authority Management Funds to authorize the 2000
Summer Recreation Programs in Bay Point, and Pittsburg, those areas will be
deprived of programs which provide recreational, educational and social
activities to its youth participants and their families.

Dear Mr. Rosario:
First Baptist Church requests funding to conduct a Summer Youth Recreation Program for children
who live in the Los Medanos Housing Development in Bay Point.
This year,urgency of such a program is even greater. The children of this community, according to
our knowledge,have not received funding through any community group to provide such activities.
Secondly, employment opportunities for youth normally through the Neighborhood Ycuth Corps
(NYC)program funded by the.Federal Government has been discontinued. It would be our goal to
hire ynuth from the Los Medanos Housing Development who would,as stated,normally be working
with the NYC program. The Contra Costa County Housing Authority funding this request will meet-
several goals and/or crisis:
• Allow us to serve approximately 30-40 children from the ages of 3-12.
• Provide excursions for said children.
• Assist parents with part-time childcare during this time period.
• Provide nutritious snacks/lunch eliminating cost to families.
In addition to serving the children, it would also allow us to provide employment to ou; ;youth who
had the hope of employment through the traditional NYC program.
The site would be the .First Baptist Church in Pittsburg. First Baptist Church would provide
transportation daily to accommodate this community. Our emphasis would still be to serve the Los
Medanos Housing Development in Bay Point, giving them priority entrance.
The budget breakdown is attached. We are requesting $16,279.56 for this six-week program. We
are proposing to start July 5, 2000 through August 18, 2000. In addition, the budget Includes the
total cost of personnel, fringe benefits, and other cost. The funds used for excursions will be for a
field trip to Marine World in Vallejo.
We look forward to a favorable response of this proposal. We are again excited and enthusiastic
about the Summer Youth Recreation Program. Even though the location may be outside the Bay
Wcw
