SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO ACCEPT AN OBESITY PREVENTION GRANT
Specific Request(S) or Recommendation (S) & Background and Justification
RECOMMENDATION (S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Community Services Department Director, or designee, to
accept a grant from the California Nevada Community Action Partnership in the amount not
to exceed $5,000 for obesity prevention services for the period February 1, 2006, through
June 30, 2006.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This grant is funded through the California Nevada Community Action Partnership. Funding
for this grant will be added via Appropriation Adjustment in the Department's FY 2005-2006
budget. There will be no net County cost to this contract.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Community Services Department (CSD) 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.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
This grant will enhance the Department's continuing efforts to combat obesity in Contra
Costa County. Department statistics indicate that approximately 25% of our,preschool age
children are overweight and another 10% are at risk of becoming overweight. This one-
time grant will fund the development of Department projects that support and promote
innovative approaches to improving healthy eating habits for the children ini our programs
as well as their parents at the Department's 18 Child Care Centers. The Board of
Supervisors approved the submission of this grant to the California Nevada Community
Action Partnership at its December 20, 2005 meeting.
