3) Final Prioritizing of Consultants' Recommendations by
Child Care Commission
Ken Jaffe, ICRI Consultant, reviewed the report
recommendations and Commissioners discussed the
priorities for implementation of the proposed
recommendations.
Messrs. Jaffe and Hagaman stated that they have met with
the Carlsbad Unified School District regarding
after-school care. It was suggested that a meeting also
be held with the Parks and Recreation Department to
discuss their future plans for recreational programs
serving Grades 7-12.
NEW BUSINESS/INFORMATIONAL;
A) San Marcos Child Care Video
The Commission discussed the child care video produced
by the City of San Marcos. Several Commissioners would
like to see Carlsbad produce a video similar to San
Marcos, however, costs may be prohibitive. Commissioner
Nygaard suggested the possibility of a grant to fund the
production costs.
5) December Meeting Date
Motion was duly made, seconded, and carried to defer
the December meeting the Child Care Commission to
January 7, 1991 due to the Christmas holidays.
6) Letter to Child Care Providers
Commissioners reviewed the proposed letter to child care
providers in the City of Carlsbad. After discussion, it
was decided that publication of the letter in various
local newspapers, in the Letters to the Editor section,
would be the most prudent method to disseminate the
information.
Motion was duly made, seconded, and carried to
approve the letter as written, with distribution to
local newspapers for publication in the Letters
to the Editor column.
ITEMS FOR NEXT AGENDA;
The final report will be presented at the January 7, 1991
