RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment & Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with the Catholic Council for the Spanish Speaking of the Diocese of Stockton to pay the county an amount not to exceed $28,000, to provide food services to the childcare program at El Concilio Preschool for the period May 1, 2017 through April 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No net County costs.  
  

El Concilio Preschool has agreed to reimburse the County, up to the limits of the California Child and Adult Food Program, for all food service expenses related to this contract. The County will provide breakfast, lunch, and snack to 20 children and 3 teachers at the rates specified below:   

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)
  
Breakfast - $3.25 each  
Lunch - $5.00 each  
Snack - $3.20 each

BACKGROUND:

El Concilio is a Migrant Head Start program operating through San Joaquin County’s program. The preschool provides services to migrant children for only a limited number of months each year. The Community Services Bureau would provide meals that meet the HS performance Standards and USDA meal guidelines. At some point in the future the Community Services Bureau may operate the program in the months the school is closed to ensure continuity of care for those families.  
  
The Center, located adjacent to Community Services Bureau's (CSB) Los Nogales Center serves the migrant farm-worker families of Contra Costa County. Both Head Start programs have similar missions and similar client needs. The San Joaquin agency has just taken over the El Concilio program and is unable to provide services to the families due to a lack of facility space to provide nutritious meals to the children. CSB has offered to assist with this unmet need for the following reasons:  
• The same community is served;  
• The continuity of services – the migrant program operates a limited amount per year. CSB would like to continue serving those families since they qualify for our program;  
• Besides our program, El Concilio is the only publicly funded program to provide these services to families. It is a great need.  
• Assisting with the nutrition program is one way that the two programs can partner.  
  
  

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will be unable to provide food services to its childcare partner.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment & Human Services Department Community Services Bureau supports three of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes - Outcome 1: “Children Ready for and Succeeding in School,” Outcome 3: “Families that are Economically Self-sufficient,” and, Outcome 4: “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing.” These outcomes are achieved by offering comprehensive services, including high quality early childhood education, nutrition, and health services to low-income children throughout Contra Costa County.
