6.L.- Page 2of9 <br />ANALYSIS <br />If passed by the State Legislature and signed by Governor Newsom, this grant program will help child <br />care/preschool operators to create facilities to serve more children of both low- and moderate -income <br />families statewide. City staff continues to work with Assemblyman Mullin's staff on amendments to the <br />bill language to ensure that the grants program will be usable for the types of projects that are feasible in <br />Redwood City, much of San Mateo County, and other built -out, high cost areas. Free-standing, new <br />construction on land owned by the operator is rarely an option. Eligible projects need to include build -out <br />of space in housing or mixed use developments, remodel of existing commercial, school or community <br />buildings, etc. These projects often leverage other significant public and private financing. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no direct fiscal impact in adopting a resolution and providing a letter of support. There is potential <br />positive impact to the City and/or community partners, developers, and child care/preschool operators if <br />facility grants become available. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br />This activity is not a project under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as defined in CEQA <br />Guidelines, section 15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or reasonably <br />foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. <br />PUBLIC NOTICE <br />Public Notification was achieved by posting the agenda, with the agenda items being listed, at least 72 <br />hours prior to the meeting. <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />The Council could choose not to adopt a resolution of support. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Attachment A: Resolution in Support of Assembly Bill 452: Childcare Facilities Grants <br />Attachment B: Sample Letter of Support for AB 452 - Assembly Floor (Rendon) <br />Attachment C: Sample Letter of Support for AB 452 - Assembly Appropriations Committee (Gonzalez) <br />REPORT PREPARED BY: <br />Chris Beth, Parks and Recreation Director <br />cbeth@redwoodcity.org <br />(650) 780-7253 <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.ore <br />267 <br />
