Proposed ordinance Amending
Day Care Fees (Second Reading)
�Ibert H. �Kvar'd, Dir f
Department of Leisure Services
It is recommended that the Fees for the City
of Miami Child Day Care Program be increased
as listed below, to enable the program to be
of a more self-sustaining nature, as per the
attached ordinance.
In that identifying funds for the operation of the City of Miami
Child Day Care Program has become increasingly difficult in the
face of federal, state, and the City's budgetary restraints, it
has become essential for the grogram to be of a more self-sus-
taining nature.
Current fees generate approximately 27% ($102,000) of the total
operating budget of $378,000. The recommended fee would increase
revenues to approximately 570, or $235,000, of the proposed budget
of $412,000 for FY 81-82; a significant step toward the program
maintaining itself.
A recent survey has revealed the average weekly child care fee to
_ range between $32 - $35. The recommended fees, if implemented,
would result in an average of $23 weekly, considerably below the
countywide average while still maintaining quality service. More
importantly, through these fee increase and addition grant funds,
the cost per child to the City would significantly be reduced
from $1,339 to $307.63.
At the instruction of the City Commission, the department met
- with Ann Wilson, chairperson of the Day Care Committee, to discuss
moderate revisions to fees iniatially proposed, which have been
agreed to by both parties. In addition, a $25,000 contingency
fund will be budgeted should the increases result in any temporary
loss of enrollment.
It is, therefore, the recommendation of the Department of Leisure
Sorvices that th4 holow listed fees be adopted as per the attached
ordinance:
