Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The City provides a before and after school child care program known as the “4th R” at many elementary schools operated by Sacramento City Unified School District (SCUSD). The 4th R program uses portable buildings located on the school campus for this program. The City is currently utilizing two portables to serve 200 students in Caleb Greenwood Elementary School which is located at 5457 Carlson Drive. Currently, there are approximately 100 students on the waiting list. As a result, the City needs an additional portable building at this School to meet the demand for the 4th R program. The District has an existing portable building that can be refurbished and placed at the School for City’s use contingent on City reimbursing District for its costs (not to exceed $257,500). The expenditures for utilities and maintenance that would incur by adding an additional portable will be recouped through fees charged to the parents of children served by the program.
Policy Considerations: Providing child care services are consistent with the City’s strategic plan to enhance livability in Sacramento’s neighborhoods by expanding recreation and enrichment programs throughout the City.
Economic Impacts: SCUSD will refurbish an existing portable building and install it at the school campus using their own forces.
Environmental Considerations: The proposed action to fund the costs to add a portable building at Caleb Greenwood Elementary School is exempt from environmental review under the CEQA Guidelines section 15303, small structures.
Sustainability: Not applicable.
Commission/Committee Action: None.
Rationale for Recommendation: The City currently provides 4th “R” child care services at this school site and the addition of a third portable will allow the program to provide child care services to another 40-60 families.
Financial Considerations: The 4th “R” Child Care Program is a fee-based, self-sufficient program. No General Fund dollars are used in the delivery or administration of the program. While the program will incur a one-time cost for the addition of a portable building in an amount not to exceed $257,500, the expanded capacity of the program is expected to generate approximately $129,600 annually in additional revenue. Staff recommends increasing revenues and expenditure budgets in the FY2019/20 Youth, Parks, and Community Enrichment Department by $129,600 (4th R Fund, Fund 6012) and an authorization to adjust the revenue budget to reflect actual revenues received and adjust the expenditure budget by a like amount in the YPCE Operating Budget for the 4th R Child Care Program. Sufficient funds are available in the YPCE Operating Budget to support the costs of the SCUSD Agreement.
