raE HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL
palo Alto, california
Attention: policy an::! Services Committee
~£Q20.ed Interim Plan fc·r Ch __ ~ __ ld Care Administration
Kember. of the Council:
Report in SLiet
At th~ Policy and Services Committee me<::ting held on J.."f'!'il 20,
1993~ staff indicated that an interim plan would be submitted to
the Policy and Services committee regarding the City's child care
subsidy program for the fiscal year 1993-94. At that timer staff
anticipated that the City Auditor's Report on Palo ~lto community
child Care (P~CCC) would be completed by the end of May and that
the reportls findings would be utilized in planning future action
regarding the child care contract.
The Audit<er's report 'Will not be cOlTtpleted until the end of June
1993~ FUrthermore t PACCC has notified Council that it does ~ct ~ish
to be funded next fiscal year. For these reasons, staff's response
to the issiJes inherent in the c1".ild care s'..;bsidy contract are not
complete at this time and a long-term plan will not be presented
now.
Staff does have a short-term plan 'Which .... ill provide 6. cO .... Jtinuity
of sUbsidized cbild care for eligible farr,ilies from ,Jul~l 1, 1993
until an interim plan can be recommended.
AS indicated in the ]>.pril 20 discussion, there are t.wo major issues
in need of redress. One issue is the ~anagement of the City-subsi
dized child care contract~ The second issue is the City's response
regarding PACCC's school-age child care provision at Juana Briones
School (see related CMR:218:93).

Narrstive
Hanaqeaent or City-9ubsidize~ Child Care COb tract:
As the Committee is aware, irregularities in the management of the
City-subsidized child c-are contr-act ""ith PACCC i'lave been cited.
P1a:CCC .. ithdre,*" its application for fU:'l:iing thI'Ollqh the Hu:man
services Resource Allocation Process ,HSRAP) during the April 29th
Finance COm1ll.ittee Budget heariny for fiscal Year 1'93-94, Since
then r staff has discussed various alterrJatives {or providing these
services. It 'Would be premature, ho ... eyer t to recommend a method
for disbursing these contract funds c-€fore the Ci ty Audit:' s
complete. Also, the commenceme~t date c! July 1 (a timeline of two
weeks) would make it difficult for Human Services staff to
recommend and implement an i~terirn process.
Primarily for these reasons, staff rec=~ends that PACCC continue
to It.a~age the subsidy contract on a :::c.'ith-to-ll1onth basis, until
City staff can develop a recomroendatior; for an ir'.terim proced ... .Ire.
Staff is confident that PACCC can manage ~he 5ho~~-te~. contract in
an acceptable manner. The former Executive Director has resigned.
The Interim Executive Director, Kathle~n Sullivan, is the Director
of Child and Family Services at stanford University and a ~ember cf
PACCC's Board of Directors. Ms. Sullivan is in tr.e process of
hiring a Controller for t..""le agency ana t,as already made strides in
rectifying the previously-cited problems. With regard to the
administration of the subsidJ~ contract, Hs. Sullivan t.as already
worked with PACCC staff and has implemented n.eW' certification
documentation procedures and forms to ccoply ~ith the existing city
contract. Additionally, Ms. Sullivan }-)as developed a new invoice
format tor future billings to the city .... hici: ir.cludes all data
requested in the contract. These ~ctions provide positive
indications that the level and qual i ty of the administrative
a~pects are improving.
City staff, in conjunction 'With Ms. Sullivan, has revisE'.d the
Subsidize.d Income Guideline S.chedule to conform to State Department
of Education standards. PACCC is in 'tr.e process of using this neW'
standard in recertifying a 11 families-currently receiving city
subsidies" City staff will be providing assistance during this
transition period. PACCC can continue ~c provide this service on a
month-to-month basis Until a long-t~r~ recommendation can be
de.veloped. This action would provide fc'C continuity of service for
the subsidized families enrolled in the program during this
transition. PACCC is supportive of this short-ter~ plan.

JUAD& Brion •• Chi1d Care center:
PACCC has been notified that the Cit}:' will not be reneving that
agency's LeaGe Agreement beyond July 1, 1993 for school-~ge child
care provisioJ". at Juana Briones SchooL Requests tor Proposals
(RFP's) have been sent to all licensej school-age providers in the
area. The due date for proposals is June 15, 1993. Meetings
between the various applicants and t!',E Juana Briones Child Care
Parent committee are scheduled for June 24, 19SJ. A decision
regarding the new provider vill be nade by July 1, 1993.
The State's COlllmuni ty Care Licensing Di ..... ision r~quest.s a t""o-l!'iont.h
turnaround time in approvinq nev license applications so this
shQuld allow the State adequati:. ti::e. to .app["ove the applicant in
time for a September 7, 1993 starting date. The child care program
will not operate dur ing the SUClJllE:.!' recess 1 lJut Juana Briones
enrollees in need of summer care have found alternative arrange
me.nts 'With the. able assistance of P;'_CCC.
Language has been added to all eleven Lease Agreements .,i th the
s~hool-age child c~re providers, ~tipulating that non-a~bulatory
licenses from the Co~~unity Care Licensing Division of the state
Department of Social Services are mar.dated. All eleVen SChool-age
child care providers either possess these special licenses or are
in the process of applying for the:::!. By September 1, 1953, all
programs will have these licenses.
Conclusion
staff'S previous recommendation fer FACCC's funding for fiscal year
1993-94 (before PACCC rescinded ~heir r~quest} called for an annu~l
contract in the amount of $345,500, o~ which $270,500 was directed
for sul:lsidized child care provision and $75, aco fer 'ma.naging the
subsidy contract.
staff recommends developing a month-to-month contract with PACCC in
the amount of $28,792 monthly, $22t5~2 for subsidy assistance, and
$6,250 for administrative support, effective July 1, 1993.
Should the Policy and'services Com=ittee direct staff to proceed
with the extension of the contract, staff will return to Council on
June 28, 1993 with a contract amendment allowing for the additional
services. Staff envisions that a proposed interim plan could be in
place by OCtob~r l, 1993.
Once the city Auditor complet.es his report, staff \iill l'"eturn to
the Policy and Services comroittee .oOith various long-range options
for administering the City's child ca~e subsidy contract.

Council Memher Kniss asked whether anything significant h3d cl"'.anged
in the program or any oth-=I' particular problems ned arisen 'Which
exacerbated the situation. Since PACCC had been in existence f~r
a long time, either the initial problerr.s had not co:ne to light or
somet."ing was different in the manner iT', 'Whictl U::e progr-am was
administered or conducted~
Mr .. Ms.rtin said the numbbr "f school site progrdms had increased
[rem three to elev~n. Staff had worked with parent. groups and
selected providers to accoJ:plish the .i ncrease. At nine of the
eleven school sites, parents chose PACCC •• :hieh caused PACCC to
suddenly move from a program serving 400-500 ~hildren to run~ing
nine school~age programs. There had also been a change in leader
ship after the ne,-, progra"!'ts ¥iEre implement.ed. PhCCC did not have
the ad:r.inistrative: structure in place in a central office to
operate a program with a $3 million budget t sao c'hildren. OVer loa
staff, and l5 child care sites. ~hen the programs first started,
the contract \o'ith the PAUSD Cdlled for one classrocp.! at .each of the
11 sites, serving 30 children. Also, the Arr.ericans 1IHth Disabili
ties Act {ADA) had not been implemented, so ~any c1"',ild care
programs did not have the training to de.al ""ith special nE:eds
children. Many site.s (Eriones, Walter Hays, Duvenec'\(, and Addison)
now had two portables serving 70 children. The ad::!',inistration
capability of l'r'tar.aging the progrcln had not increased ... ·i th the
service delivery sites.
council Member Kniss asked how current prc,blens cculd be r6so1~ted
because of the impact~
city Auditor Bill vinson s'lid part o! the his assessment would
evaluate management of PAC ... ·C~ its administration, and its spending.
Prior to speculation on thE. problems and solutions l he asked
indulgence while his staff continued their invest.igat.ior.s. Tne
findings 'liould be reported as discover~d. It 'Was not an at.tempt to
cover anrthing or not share infortlation. but it va.s irr.portant that
all information or evidence f':;Iund in the audit be thoroughly
corroborated with PACCC management~ The audit .... 'ould be coople:ted
by the end of next nontn.
Ctairperson Simitian clarified CQuncil Member Kniss' question as
detennining he· .. to obtain solutions. He understood Mr. Vinson's
request not to prejudge !:>olutions before ide.'ltification of the
issues and completion of the audit. A clearer question was how t~
get to the solutions, e.g., the procpss~ time line to closure, etc.
Much of the staff report (CMR:21S:93) and discussions centered
around one individual child but it was not the real issue. There
were broader issues ~hich should be considered. The spe~ific case
referenced in the staff report, 'While true, 'Wt'_5 actually nearly two
years old. It was impo~tant for those 'Who had • .tai ted a lengthy
period of tjn'.e to hear-ho,",' closure or resolution to the problem
'Would occur.
Mr. Martin said the two issues were long term and manage~ent.

the audit 'IIIere not isoldted to a single 5chocl or single case and
