FROM: TONY COL6N, DIRECTOR
COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT
February 6,2001
DATE:
suBJEcr; APPROVAL OF FUNDING RE-APPLICATION TO THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Community Services Director or designee to submit a continued
funding application to the California Department of Education for the period from July 1, 2001
through June 30, 2002 to continue the provision of general child care and state preschool services..
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No County funding is required. Funding is from the California Department of Education and, if the
applications contracts are re-certified, will be reflected in the Department's FY 01/02 budget during
the County budget process.
III. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Community Services Department Child Development Program supports two of Contra Costa
County's community outcomes: "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School" and "Families that
are Safe, Stable and Nurturing. These outcomes are achieved by offering comprehensive services,
including high quality early childhood education, nutrition, and health to low-income children
throughout Contra Costa County.
IV. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
Contractual agreements between the County and the California Department of Education (State) are
renewed annually until either the County or the State decides to terminate funding. The Department
is required to apply annually for recertification of said contracts in order to continue providing general
child care and state preschool services. Rather than submit separate applications for recertification of
each individual State Agreement (County #39-801, #39-809, #39-812, #39-849), the State allows the
Department to submit a comprehensive application for recertification. Approval of this application by
the State will result in approximately $4.7 million in reimbursable funding, which will allow the
County to continue to provide general child care and state preschool services to program eligible
children.
