Monies have been identified within the 1976-77 Day Care Budget for construction. We have received one verbal estimate on expansion cost of $100,000. We have identified in the Fiscal Year 1976-77 budget for our Child Day Care Program a sum of I112 ,0�0 which can be used for the expansion costs for the three (3) centers. This sum was determined as follows: Revenue Fiscal Year Federal Revenue Sharing Appropriation Ordinance 48578; Resolution ;-75-945 $300,000. Grant from Florida Dept. of Community $ 45,000. Affairs USDA Food Reimbursement $ 27,000. Estimated fees during Fiscal Year 1976--77 $ 55,000. Grand Total $427,000. Expenditures Projected operating expenses for Fiscal $315,000. Year 1976-77 Expansion costs for the three (3) centers $117,000. Grand Total $ Since these two changes will permit those areas of im- provement for reduced operating costs requiring subsidy, discussed in our January 27, 1977 report, it is appro- priate for the Commission of the City of Miami to approve the attached Ordinance establishing a revised fee schedule effective June 21, 1977 and Resolution authorizing the Page 2 of 3 Jogeph dratie City Manager to 6b6Ure bi8g centers.
