REPORT TO THE HONORABLE , ., MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM THE CITY MANAGER August 28. 2000 Subject Agreement for Redwood City Healthy Start Network. Recommendation Execute the Agreement between the County of San Mateo. the City of Redwood City, and the Redwood City Elementary School District for support of the Redwood City Healthy Start Network for fiscal year 2000/2001. ' Background The City of Redwood City in partnership with the Redwood City School District and the County of San Mateo agreed to assist the Redwood City Healthy Start Network with sustainability of the program at Taft. Hoover and Fair oaks schools. The Redwood City Healthy Start Network was established to actively involve Redwood City residents, educators and human service providers in supporting neighborhood children to become successful learners. The Network provides health services, family support services. parent-community partnerships and after-school programs. This program is supported by Redwood City 2000. The Healthy Start Network reaches students and their families at three "family centers" housed at the elementary schools mentioned above in a way that few programs do, by serving their minds and bodies. The family centers are one-stop centers that provide services such as pediatric health and dental services, after-school tutoring, homework assistance, parent education. adult ESL, adult literacy and community mediation programs. San Mateo County is funding Healthy Start with $100,000 and the Redwood City Elementary School District is funding the program with $50,000 for fiscal year 2000/2001. In March 1999, Council approved funds for fiscal year 1998/99 to match the contribution for the School District for Healthy Start in the amount of $50,000. The total Healthy Start budget for 2000/2001 is approximately $1.5 million. Over 50% of the budget are redirected and in-kind resources. Additional funds include $100,000 from the State Healthy Start grant (one year remaining), $55.000 from the Cowell Foundation (one year remaining), $50,000 from Peninsula Partnership (two years remaining), and $25,000 from Luke B. Hancock Foundation (one year remaining). The agreement between the County. the School District and the City is a challenge grant. In theory, should any of the partners not contribute what was originally agreed to, the others would withdraw their contributions as well. The attached agreement ensures continued sustainability for the Redwood City Healthy Start Network for fiscal year 2000/2001. Fiscal Impact $50,000 which has been budgeted in the 2000/2001 budget. Alternatives Council can elect not to enter into the agreement. fUr' , . ; ,~'. ,/( ,°,_". ,/, ~. ~'_A../ .
