The state requires a designated authority to sign on behalf of the City for all childcare contracts. FISCAL IMPACT: Last year's grant was $150,854. This year's grant is also $150,854. The funds should be placed into account 206-5776 (revenue), and should be charged to account 206-7200-7203 (expenditure). There is no general fund impact. The grant has already been reallocated in original budget for FY 2004/05. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that City Council approve and adopt the resolution to enter into agreement No. GPRE-4289, with the California Department of Education, for Childcare Services.
