ITEM #14 <br />CITY OF COLTON <br />AGENDA REPORT <br />FOR THE COUNCIL METING OF February 6, 2007 <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members <br />FROM: Bill Smith, Community Services Director <br />SUBJECT: Request for Increase of Revenue and Expenditure Appropriations in <br />the Childcare Fund to Account for "Cost of Living" Increase to the <br />State Contract for Preschool Childcare Services in the Childcare <br />Division of the Community Services Department <br />DATE: <br />January 17, 2007 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The City of Colton's Preschool Childcare Program, located at Sierra Vista Baptist Church, is <br />funded by a grant from the State of California, Department of Education. The amount of this <br />grant, as listed in the approved Childcare Division budget, for the current fiscal year, is <br />$161,025. The State of California has recently notified the City of a "cost of living" increase for <br />the existing grant in the amount of $9,533. <br />ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: <br />These "cost of living" increases are standard procedure with the Department of Education. <br />They are intended to facilitate the adequate provision of childcare services, allowing for <br />inflation. In order to accommodate this receipt of additional funding, and allocate said funding <br />for expenditure, the Preschool Program budget in the Childcare Division must be adjusted. <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br />To accommodate this request, Childcare Revenue Account 206-5776, and Childcare <br />Expenditure Account 206-7200-7203-1040, will both increase by $9,533. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: <br />None <br />CONFLICT OF INTEREST: <br />None <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that City Council approve resolution increasing revenue and expenditure <br />appropriations in the Childcare Division of the Community Services Department, to account for <br />a "cost of living" increase to the State contract for preschool childcare services, and authorize <br />the City Manager to sign the corresponding contract CPRE -6293. <br />Prepared by: Mary Alice Romo - Administrative Assistant <br />Attachment: Resolution <br />REVIEW TEAM ONLY <br />City Attorney: — — A :1 <br />City Manager: <br />Finance Director: <br />OTHER: <br />
