APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment & Human Services Director, or designee, to apply for and accept funding from the Contra Costa Department of Conservation and Development in an amount not to exceed $35,000 of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for playground construction at the Employment & Human Services Department's building at 151 Linus Pauling Drive in Hercules, California during the term April 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% CDBG funding
No County match

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

If funded, allocation will be appropriated into the Department's 2010 - 2011 budget.

BACKGROUND:

The Department's Community Services Bureau is applying to the Contra Costa Conservation and Development Department to seek CDBG funding to purchase and install a playground at EHSD's facility located at 151 Linus Pauling Drive in Hercules.

The Department seeks to relocate its San Pablo Children's Center at this site in an effort to better serve the communities of Rodeo, Crockett and Port Costa. If funded, this grant will assist in realizing the goal to develop a childcare center at this location.
