CITY OF COLTON <br />AGENDA REPORT <br />For the Council Meeting of March 7, 2000 <br />To: Honorable Mayor & City Council <br />Approval: Henry T. Garcia, City Managerw <br />0From: Ron Kenny, Interim Director of Recreation Parks <br />Carolyn Jones, Childcare Manager <br />Subject: Authorization for Ronald C. Kenny and Carolyn Jones to <br />Sign Contract for Appearance of T. Berry Brazelton, et al, <br />As part of National Seminar Series to be Held in the <br />Spring Of 2001 <br />Date: February 28, 2000 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />On January 11 & 12, 2000 Community Childcare sponsored a children's conference (What <br />Matters Most: Our Children, Our Future) at Loma Linda Medical Center. Dr. T. Berry Brazelton, <br />internationally respected pediatrician and author, headlined the event as part of a contractual <br />agreement with Community Childcare. The conference held particular meaning because Dr. <br />Brazelton only honors 8 conference requests per year (he literally receives hundreds). The two- <br />day event was designed for the benefit of parents, childcare/medical professionals and <br />interested members of the community. <br />Over 400 people from across the state attended the event. Since the conference, we have <br />received many phone calls thanking us for arranging the conference; in fact many agencies are <br />now requesting a working relationship with Community Childcare. Dr. Brazelton and his <br />colleagues expressed their delight at the response and enthusiasm of this community. They <br />have agreed to do a follow-up conference in the spring of 2001. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: <br />There will be no general fund impact. Funds for expenses will be raised by sponsors located in <br />San Bernardino and surrounding counties. If the revenue cannot be raised, we will not request <br />from the general fund and will cancel or allow another agency to take over. All revenue from <br />sponsors will be placed in account no. 206-7200-7202-7847-0000-000 and seminar related <br />expenditures will be taken from this account. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: <br />None <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that City Council Authorize Ronald C. Kenny and Carolyn Jones to Sign <br />Contract for Appearance of T. Berry Brazelton, et al, as part of National Seminar Series to be <br />Held in the Spring of 2001. <br />Prepared by: Carolyn Jones <br />Item #17 <br />
