BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
On August 13, 1991, the Board of Supervisors approved Child Care Mitigation
Agreements with various property owners in the Pleasant Hill BART Station Area,
approved a Child Care Program Administration Agreement with the Contra Costa Centre
Association. The combination of these two agreements provided for a monetary
contribution on the part of the property owners for child care mitigation and for the Contra
Costa Centre Association to undertake a Child Care Subsidy Program with the interest
earnings on said funds. Funds could also be used for capital contributions to child care
projects that would increase the amount of available child care space that serves the
Pleasant Hill BART Station Area.
Contra Costa Centre has prepared a Child Care Subsidy Program. The program provides
for a subsidy payment to the qualified employees to offset a portion of their child care
costs. The Contra Costa Centre Association anticipates subsidizing only those families
whose incomes fall below $54,000 annually. Child care costs would be reimbursed on a
sliding scale. The program budget allows approximately 40 participant families. On
average, the families pay $150 per week for child care expenses. The Child Care Subsidy
Program reimburses an average of $75.00 per month.
