Brown Child Care hild Care Center $5,952 -- for new outdoor eq ipment and staff training Model Cities Family Develo , ent Center $4,626 -- for new playground quipment (Model Cities had req I ested $5,826, but was not able to match that with other funds.) Midway Family YMCA $9,922 -- for new playground • quipment -- The Selection Team, makes this recommendation with the contingency that the child care program b able to document that at least 51 percent of the families in the child care cent r are low and moderate income. (The Midway YMCA Child Care Center st. i f say this can be done easily.) -- The equipment will • e on City -owned park land. Parks and Recreation q Li— 130i recommends that the grant 1'e contingent on a clear written agreement between the City and the YMCA on he use of that land. (The current agreement addresses only using the land for parki :ig.) Parks and Recreation also recommends that the equipment meet the guidelines of the Consumer Products Safety Commission and the American for Disabilities Act, which all City equipment is required to meet. (The child care center staff say that their budget and specifications assume meeting those standards.) Project Improve $4,500 -- to continue and enhance training with Southeast Asian individuals who want to become licensed to be family child care providers. This program is run by the Centre for Asians and PLcific Islanders. TOTAL $25,000 According to the guidelines, the remainder of the money is to be allocated to the start up or expansion of community initiatives which, in some way, help to make child care more affordable, :sore accessible or of higher quality in Saint Paul: UNITY PROJECT OF THE GEORGE CHILD CARE CENTER $25,000 -- to help with the start up of the first child care center in the Twin Cities area that would be specific tc the culture of Southeast Asian families. The Hmong United Methodist Church on the West Side would house the center. ENGLISH EDUCATION PI OGRAM $ 7,240 -- to help start up a new child care program component to the English as Second Language program at Mount Airy. (This program was put in hiatus for a year, when renovations made space unavailable.) Lao Family, the applicant, asked for $10,000, but other costs were continued operating support for current programs. PROJECT SPIRIT $13,000 -- to help start up a nEw site for this after - school tutorial program based in African- American culture anc run in cooperation with the sponsorship of various congregations. Project Spirit is a collaborative project of a number of African - American congregations and operates out of the Saint Paul Council of Churches. This applicant had requested $25,000, but many of the costs were associated with on -going operational expense, of existing sites. HEADSTART /TRANSITIONAL HOUSING WRAP- AROUND CHILD CARE $22,575 -- to allow a collaborative effort between the YWCA and HeadStart to serve the children of women in transitional housing. The current program will expand from 17 to 34 children and will be restructured from a full -day Head Start program to a standard half -dad program supplemented by child care for the rest of the day. DAYTON'S BLUFF CREAl' NE EXCHANGE $19,185 -- to develop a family ch d care network to increase the quality of child care, Li -1309 enhance the marketing effo s of the child care providers and to increase the pool of neighborhood volunteers. This applicant had originally asked for $25,000, but available funds did not allo for recommending the full amount requested. APPLICANTS NOT RECO MENDED FOR FUNDING SALVATION ARMY TOT' PRESCHOOL /CHILD CARE PROGRAM $25,000 -- to buy equipment . d supplies to furnish the preschool /child care classrooms in a new expansi n. The Selection Team would recommend that if there are any additional fun s identified or left over from previous years, that the Salvation Army be the next , roject to be funded. It did not rank as highly as other projects because the dominant use is for a pre - school program. SAVE OUR CITIES KIDS $13,900 -- to create a drop -in center for children 6 -14 in the after - school hours in the Frogtown and Summit- 'versity neighborhoods. The Selection Team determined that this propos." appears to be a recreation and youth programming proposal rather than a scho . -age child care proposal. The distinction they made in considering proposals inte ded to serve school -age program was that whether the program assumed accou tability for the children's whereabouts and well -being during regular, specified hou s. The Child Care Coordinator will give this applicant information about he City's Youth Service grant funds. SKYLINE TOWERS CHILI CARE AND ABUSE PREVENTI • $25,000 -- to develop a drop-ii child care center and parental counseling program for the families living in the igh rise at 1247 Saint Anthony. The Selection Team felt the proposal was not full developed. TOTAL $87,000 (These allocations represent , 110,000 -- $10,000 more than allocated for 1994. But there were outstanding i t lances on previous contracts that were forwarded to this year, as the guidelines c. 11 for.) I can make any or all copies o f the proposal available to City Council members at your request. Please call me at 266 -8534.
