RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission
adopt the attached Resolution accepting a grant in the total
estimated amount of $200,000 from the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (under Title XX of the Social
Services Act) through Miami -Dade County for the provision of
day care services to low-income families attending the
City's Day Care Program. The Resolution further authorizes
the City Manager to execute the necessary agreement for this
purpose.
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Parks and Recreation has prepared the
attached legislation concerning the Day Care Title XX Grant.
The City of Miami's Child Day Care Program is funded from
several sources; the City's General Fund, participant child
fees, the United States Department of Agriculture, and the
US Department of Health and Human Services Title XX of the
Social Services Act. The Title XX funding for 2003-2004,
amounts to approximately $200,000 and is channeled through
Miami -Dade County to the City on a reimbursement basis.
This is the 24th year that the City will receive such funds,
and no cash match is required.
By means of this grant, the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services purchases slots in City Day Care Centers in
order to provide child care services for children (ages 6
weeks - 5 years) of low income families, enabling their
parents to work and receive training outside the home.
Services could be provided for a maximum of one hundred and
twelve (112) children. Registration is currently ninety-
nine (99); forty (40) preschoolers, forty-seven (47)
toddlers and twelve (12) infants.

Maximum daily rates paid to the City under this program are:
$22.00 for infant care, $18.00 for toddler care, and $17.00
for preschoolers. The total reimbursement amount is based
on the number and age of the children, the applicable rate
and the actual number of service days provided by the City.
Earlier this year, the City submitted an application to the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (through Miami -
Dade County) for the provision of daycare services to low
income families served by the City's Day Care Program. This
application was evaluated and approved by Miami -Dade County.
The City has received from Miami -Dade County the grant
agreement for execution. The contract period is from July
1, 2003 to June 30, 2004.
