CDBG MDUSD-Ambrose grant transfer.pdf
Summary: Staff requests permission to submit a grant request to Contra Costa County to transfer the existing Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from its current fiscal agency Ambrose Recreation and Park District (ARPD) to Mt. Diablo Unified School District. In July 2011, the ARPD Board voted to not continue an annual contract with MDUSD to provide after school programming in Bay Point due to fiscal constraints. Both ARPD and MDUSD continue to work collaboratively to ensure that resources previously appropriated to ARPD can continue to reach the youth in the Bay Point After School Programs. If the grant transfer is approved this grant will continue to provide increased enrichment services to five eligible CARES After School sites in Bay Point (Bel Air, Delta View, Rio Vista and Shore Acres Elementary and Riverview Middle school). These funds would pay for additional specialized outside enrichment services and instructors, field trips and assemblies. If funded, the grant will provide $10,000 annually for a total of $20,000 over two years. This would be the second year of funding.
Funding: Funding is provided by Contra Costa County.
Fiscal Impact The contract is for $10,000. There is no unrestricted general fund contribution requirement. Funding from the After School Education & Safety (ASES)grant also support these services. Program codes 3666 and 3871.
Recommendation: Approve submission of grant application and acceptance if awarded.
