These <br />state-owned facilities will be leased for $1 per year. Five million dollars of one-time <br />funds are available statewide. It is anticipated that these funds will not become <br />available again. According to State Guidelines, the City of Colton has been determined <br />to be aPriority One community. A Priority One ranking indicates that Colton will be <br />considered a first priority community to receive funding. <br />These one time funds do not require a local dollar match, other than the $1 per year <br />lease payment. If approved, the grant funds will be utilized to acquire a relocatable <br />classroom for Reche Canyon Elementary and Wilson Elementary Schools. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: <br />No match is required. Once the grant is approved and the facilities are received by the <br />City, the City will then be able to terminate its monthly lease with Scotsman for the rental <br />of two (2) portable classrooms at both sites. This grant will result in an annual savings <br />to the City of Colton in an approximate amount of $12,000. <br />--�') <br />Randy Anstine, Neighborhood Services Director <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: <br />None <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that Council approve the filing of a grant application to the State <br />Department of Education for Child Care Facilities. <br />Item # 22 <br />
