ADOPT priorities for State funding of child care and development programs in underserved areas as recommended by the Local Planning Council for Child Care and Development (LPC). 2. AUTHORIZE the Board of Supervisors' designated representative (Chief Assistant County Administrator) to sign the LPC County Priorities Report. BACKGROUND: In accordance with Assembly Bill 1542, the LPC is mandated to prioritize "underserved areas" of the county for State child care and development funding. The State definition of"underserved areas" is based on the ratio of State subsidized services to the need for services within a particular area. The LPC has developed recommendations in the three subprogram areas: General Child Care and Development Expansion, State Preschool Expansion and Migrant Child Care Expansion. The LPC's recommendations take into account the current distribution of State funding and an assessment of current needs within the County. The LPC held a public hearing on January 25, 2001 and voted to adopt these recommendations. The LPC's recommendations adjust the priorities to recognize East County as the first priority for expansion funding. n CONTINUED ON ATTACHMENT: YES slt;i ATURE: RECOMMENDATION OF COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR -RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD C ITT APPROVE OTHER SIGNATURES: /0_o�lq�5_ ACTION OF BO RD ON Fe 6 001 APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER VOTE OF SUPERVISORS 1 HEREBY CERTIFY THAI THIS IS A TRUE XX UNANIMOUS(ABSENT ) AND CORRECT COPY OF AN ACTION TAKEN AYES: NOES: AND ENTERED ON THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD ABSENT: ABSTAIN: OF SUPERVISORS ON THE DATE SHOWN.

Stewart Center OFFICE OF ' • 77 Santa Barbara Road • Pleasant Hill, CA 94523 (925)942-3388 Local Planning Council for Child Care and Development January 29, 2001 Scott Tandy Contra Costa County Administrator's Office 651 Pine Street I Ith Floor Martinez, CA 94553 Dear Mr. Tandy, Please find enclosed a copy of the new Countywide Priorities for State Funded Child Care Programs for our County. In accordance to our mandate AB 1542, the Local Planning Council is required to make recommendations for priorities of certain zip codes that are considered "Underserved". The California Department of Education defines "Underserved" as: " "Underserved Area" is a county or subcounty area where the ratio of publicly subsidized child care and development program services to the need for these services is low, as determined by the Superintendent of Public Instruction." Using this definition, careful research of the four subcounty areas determined that currently, West County is receiving 60% of the State Funds for child care, East and Central are receiving about 20% each. With the high need in East and parts of Central County for all types of care, our recommendations are to make these Priority One for the General Child Care and Development Expansion dollars, amounting to $1,237,412.00 of new money allocated for Contra Costa County. We have changed the priorities set last year for State Preschool and Migrant Child Care Funding to more accurately reflect the needs of our county. For State Preschool with only $142,000.00 allotted, we recommend that the bulk of the county be Priority One, with South county as Priority Two. For Migrant Child Care, we recommend that Far East and East County be at the top, with the bulk of the county as Priority Three. The Local Planning Council held a Public Hearing on January 25, 2001 and the Council voted to adopt these recommendations at its monthly meeting held the same evening. The LPC is asking the Board of Supervisors for its support of these Priorities that will be recommended to the California Department of Education, Child Development Division.
