Additional PRCSA programming locations will be evaluated to <br />determine if CIP considerations are needed to align with licensing requirements. <br />After hiring the recently approved Full-time Site Director classification, the process of <br />obtaining facility licenses will begin. The Site Director is required to attend a Child Care <br />Centers Orientation as well as an Operations and Recordkeeping Orientation. Once <br />certified in both Child Care Centers and Operations and Record Keeping, the Site <br />Director will submit applications for each of the identified centers to become a licensed <br />California State Child Care Provider. The overall process can take up to one to three <br />months, depending on the readiness of each facility and meeting the current guidelines <br />set forth by the State of California. <br />Initial licensing fees total $968 with recertification fees totaling $484 that are paid <br />annually and can be renewed without issue, as long as there are no new requirements <br />designated by State governing bodies. The City is not required to have additional <br />insurance, as we currently provide similar childcare with our drop-in programs after <br />school and our summer day camps. <br />Programming would include partnership agreements with local community-based <br />organizations to provide additional enrichment and learning opportunities for <br />participants. <br />PRCSA Headcount <br />To begin Phase 1 of licensing and enrollment as part of the CDSS Contract, PRCSA <br />needs the addition of four (4) positions to PRCSA’s overall personnel headcount. This <br />includes one (1) Full-time Site Director, one (1) Full-time Site Teacher, one (1) Full-time <br />Teacher’s Aide, and one (1) Senior Management Analyst. <br />Recruitment for the initial Site Director will take place immediately after contract <br />approval, as this position is critical in establishing required Child Care Center licensing <br />and program build out. The Senior Management Analyst will follow. PRCSA Staff will act <br />as the liaison between the Site Director and Recreation Division and will assist in <br />bridging the processes of licensing, reporting, purchasing, and enrollment for the CDSS <br />contract with the standards and operation requirements set forth by the City. <br />After successfully licensing the initial PRCSA facilities, Phase 2 of program build out will <br />commence with the hire of Full-time Site Teachers and Full-time Teacher’s Aides. <br />These supporting roles are necessary for enrollment of participants and implementation <br />of the program under the supervision of the Site Director. <br />Pursuant to Section 609 of the City Charter, a budget amendment requires an <br />affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the City Council.
