Mon off:, Assistant City Attorney 7th day of October /Z I- C, c .C. McMINN, MAYOR Resolution #2446 NARRATIVE Activities that would be undertaken under the Information and Referral component of the grant are as follows: -- develop a list of licensed day care and registered family homes in the City of Lubbock using information available from the Department of Human Services. -- formulate a questionnaire to gather information on types of services for infants through age 12 available in the city. Other information to be gathered would be hours of operation, staffing patterns, transportation, cost of service. -- using volunteers from the Committee for Women's Child Care Committee and Junior League volunteers a survey would be done, by telephone, to ascertain information on questionnaire. -- using data from the survey a brochure would be compiled and distributed widely in the community through churches and human services agencies. The brochure would list day care facilities in the community and show various services offered at that facility. -- compile information to add to existing resource list on programs and services available to people with developmental disabilities and people over 55 years of age in need of dependent care resources. -- survey working parents to determine need for child care services of all kinds including early morning, after school, and shift. Survey would be conducted city wide using volunteers from Committee for Women Child Care Committee and Junior League. Compilation and interpretation of data would be done with the assistance of Texas Tech Sociology and Home and Family Life personnel. Activities in the School Age Child Day Care component would be as follows: -- activities in conjunction with the YWCA, Committee for Women Child Care Program and other agencies in the community including Camp Fire, Scouts, Texas Tech University, United Way, Junior League of Lubbock, and the Lubbock Independent School District. -- Lubbock Independent School District has entered into an agreement with the YWCA of Lubbock to make available all elementary schools in the District for the YWCA to conduct latch -key programs. Latch -key programs are designed for school age children and offer a way for school age children of working parents to be provided with a program under adult supervision from after school until 6:00 p.m. Nine school have been licensed and programs are in place at these sites. Under this grant the Community Services would contract with the YWCA to assist in the expansion or improvement of the Latch -Key Program. Because this grant cannot be spent on direct services, Community Services staff would assist the YWCA in activities to enrich existing programs. Ideas for this would include working with Camp Fire, Girls Scouts, Boy Scouts, City Parks and Recreation and other agencies involved in after school care. Planning could be done to enrich on site programs using resources from Texas Tech especially from Fine Arts departments. Ways would also be developed to establish a network of people interested and involved in latch -key programs including local government officials, school officials including teachers, supervisors, education professors, law enforcement agencies, employers, human service agencies, parents, and child care providers. With an established network it would be helpful to develop ways to community within the network including newsletters and conferences. CITY OF LUBBOCK GRANT PROPOSAL EVALUATION 1.

Is this the fulfillment of an identifiable community need? The Community Services Commission and the Committee for Women have been discussing the need for additional day care facilities for children and have taken preliminary steps toward studying that need. State indicators by which the staff and the City Council might be able to evaluate the program in order to determine that it has reached the stated Quarterly reports will be prepared to identify surveys completed, community and organizational meetings conducted, promotional activity undertaken and other elements of the program. 3. Will this project benefit the Community as a whole? If not, please provide a detailed profile of the _group receiving the benefit of the program. The portion of the program related dependent children and adults will benefit senior citizens and handicapped children and adults who are dependent upon at least periodic care by other individuals.
