RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to seek reimbursement from the California Department of Education in an amount not to exceed $912, to maintain Child Days of Enrollment during emergency closures at County operated site, Las Deltas, during FY 2017-18.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this action will allow the County to maintain Child Days of Enrollment for FY 2017-18, preserving revenue of $912 from the California Department of Education.

BACKGROUND:

During FY 2017-18, an additional emergency closure occurred at one of the County-operated childcare site, Las Deltas. The closure affected 14 children in total. On May 14, 2018, the center could not operate due to an emergency water shut down that impacted the entire building.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In order to prevent a loss of funds during this period, the County has the option to submit a Board Order to the State in order to maintain childcare fund reimbursement for the impacted day of closure. This option is allowable per California Department of Education, Child Development Management Bulletin 10-09 "Reduced Days of Operation or Attendance Due to Emergency Conditions."

Previous acknowledgement of site closures in 2017-18 were approved by the Board on January 9, 2018 (c.94) and March 27, 2018 (c.82).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the County will forego $912 in potential revenue.
