That the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Contracts CSPP-0343, Amendment 01 for the California State Preschool Program (CSPP) and CCTR-0159, Amendment 01 for General Child Care (CCTR), with the California Department of Education, Child Development Services for the 2020-2021 Fiscal School Year.

The approval of the California State Budget included a family fee credit for all state subsidized child care programs. Due to the pandemic, there has been a decrease in the approved number of children per classroom, which has impacted the estimated amount of family fee revenues the program would have collected in a normal year. The proposed contract amendment includes the State approved family fee credit for the program due to families who are not being served at this time due to limits on classroom capacity. 

The amended contract increases the CSPP program grant amount by $8,503, for a total grant amount of $1,528,940.  The CCTR program grant amount has been increased by $20,943, for a total grant amount of $2,518,980.  There are no changes to the required days of operation.

If the additional funds are approved by City Council, the total maximum reimbursable amount of both contracts will increase by $29,446, increased them from $4,018,474 to $4,047,920 for the 2020-2021 Fiscal Year.  All Child Development Division programs are funded through State and Federal grants.  The CSPP and CCTR programs are entirely funded by the State Department of Education and program administrative costs are also reimbursed through the contracts.  These programs receive no General Fund support.
