To date, only four providers have responded and none were interested in the proposal.

She mentioned that the fees have recently been increased. The time frames on the flow chart are currently being reviewed by the Planning Department staff. The Commission asked to see some reference to the fees on the flow chart, if possible. Susan Stark stated that a new scenario was added to the Planning Information packet which estimates fees for a non-profit day care center in an existing 4,500 s.f. building, located on a 1/2 acre lot, in a designated commercial zone. In response to a previous request by the Commission, ICRI collected fee information from four southern California cities comparable in size to Carlsbad. Susan Stark distributed the results and the Commission discussed fees in general. 4) Child Care Fund Several ideas for the Child Care Fund were discussed. Because the fund is still in the development stage, it was decided that a committee approach would be the best method to evaluate ideas. Motion was duly made, seconded, and carried to form an informal committee comprised of Chairman Baker and Commissioners Isenhart and Mead to discuss and evaluate various options for the Fund. 5) State Child Care Legislation Update Susan Stark, ICRI, reviewed the status of various legislation currently being worked on in the California Legislature.

The purpose of the Act is to prohibit designated employees and members of boards and commissions from participating in decisions on matters in which they have an economic interest, which may be affected by their decision. Therefore, the local code requires those people in designated positions to disclose certain economic interests and sources of income within the jurisdiction. For the City, that jurisdiction is the City limits or within two miles of the City limits. The City Council, the Water District, and Redevelopment Commission will be amending their local codes at a public hearing in the next few months. Once it is adopted, it has the force of law and you must comply with its provisions. If you are a newly designated position in the Code, you must file an initial Statement of Economic Interest with the City Clerk within 30 days after the Code is adopted. State law requires that you disclose investments, business positions, and interests in real property held on the effective date of the adoption of the Code and income received during the 12 months before its adoption. After that, you will be required to file annual statements for each calendar year. The City Clerk will send you all of the necessary forms and instruction manuals in order to assist you in meeting the filing deadlines.

We first mailed these letters to those family day care providers whom we had previously contacted regarding their interest in expansion. With the letter, ICRI enclosed a questionnaire which requests general information about the family day care home, and the possibility of converting slots for infants and mildly ill children. We are now awaiting their responses. ICRI prepared a Request for Information (RFI) which will be distributed to potential providers in Southern California. The purpose of the RFI is to encourage providers to develop child care in Carlsbad. The Request for Information identifies the quadrants needing additional care, and the critical child care areas which need to be addressed including infant, mildly ill, school age, and care for the Hispanic community. ITEM 3 July 25, 1991 TO: CHILD CARE COMMISSION FROM: CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE REVIEW OF REVISED FLOW CHART, FEE GUIDELINE TABLE, SCENARIOS FOR DEVELOPING CHILD CARE, AND CITY COMPARISON FEE STUDIES ICRI will discuss the revised flow chart, fee table, and scenarios. The flow chart and fee table were sent to individual members of the Planning, Engineering and Building Departments for review. Once all suggestions and corrections have been reviewed, ICRI will finalize both documents. ICRI will also discuss the revised scenarios with the Commission and answer any further questions, such as a break-even point. Finally, ICRI researched the building, planning and engineering fees of four other cities for developing child care. Attached is a comparison between Carlsbad and these other cities. SCENARIOS FOR DEVELOPING CHILD CARE CENTERS Presented by International Child Resource Institute June, 1991 GUIDE TO CITY FEES FOR THE PF.VRTjQPMF.NT OF THTT J) CARE CENTERS On the following pages is a guide to assist you with understanding the City of Carlsbad Development Fees as they relate to developing a child care center. First, you will find a glossary of terms to facilitate your understanding of the attached guide. Next, we provide you with a one page fee chart detailing the potential fees you may incur while developing a child care center. There are three categories of fees including Processing, Engineering, and Building. Depending on the particular circumstances, a few or many of these fees may apply. Finally, we have developed three scenarios which itemize the City Planning Fees you would incur under the particular circumstances described. In order to help you compare one scenario to the others, the size of the center and the number of children remain constant. The City Planning Department is available to answer specific questions you have regarding these fees. They will be better able to assist you if you provide them with specific details, including location and size, of your proposed child care center. You may reach them at (619) 438-1161. GLOSSARY The following glossary of terms will help to clarify the fee analysis: 1. ADT: The amount of average daily traffic (ADT) assessed by San Diego Association of Government (SANDAG) that this building will generate in the City. 2. Discretionary Review: Several departments (e.g. Engineering, Environmental, Planning, Fire) review plans and make recommendation to Planning Department which may then issue a discretionary permit. 3. EDU: Equivalent dwelling unit; a dwelling unit contains living facilities for no more than one family. 4. General Plan: A comprehensive long range policy document which establishes the physical, social, and economic goals of the community and serves as a guide for the future development of the City. 5. Land Use Approvals: Approval of the concept of a building plan by the City based on the plans and applications submitted. 6. Master Plan: A plan which establishes specific zoning requirements for large planned communities in the City, specifically over 100 acres. 7. Planning Commission: A commission appointed by the City Council. The Planning Commission advises the Council on matters related to the General Plan, zoning and land development; in some cases the Commission is empowered to act for the Council. 8. Redevelopment Area: The older part of town known as "The Village" or "Downtown," which is being guided by development standards, design standards, and use allocation that are separate from the City development plan. 9. Sewer Benefit Area: These areas are designed to create revenues to construct adequate city improvements for the growth of the City. 10. Site Development Plan Area: A plan showing uses and structures, including building and landscaping, proposed for a parcel of land. 11. Specific Plan: Similar to a master plan, but less than 100 acres. It contains the locations and standards for land use densities, streets, and other public facilities in detail. 12. State Regulated Value: This refers to the value the state places on a building based on the location and size of property. 13. Tentative Map Subdivision: A proposal to subdivide one larger piece of land into five or more lots or units. A final map which conforms to the tentative map completes the subdivision process. For example, if you want to develop one acre of a five acre parcel, a fee for a tentative map subdivision may apply. 14. Zone Change: A formal request to change the City's zoning map designation for a specific area. A proposed zone change is reviewed and acted upon by the Planning Commission and the City Council. Note: Several of these definition, or parts of them, are cited in "A Citizen's Guide To City Planning" available through the Planning Department, located at 2075 Las Palmas Drive, Carlsbad. REFURBISHMENT OF EXISTING BUILDING Understanding the need for additional child care in the Northeast Quadrant, you have found a furniture store which you want to redevelop as a child care center. This site is located in a Master Plan Area north of Canon Road, in a designated commercial zone. You have a 1/2 acre lot, and the building itself is approximately 4,500 square feet of that lot. You plan to develop a non profit center for 80 children. The following represents the City Fees you would incur. PROCESSING FEES 1. Conditional Use Permit (non-profit) $110 2.

It is located in a shopping district in a Master Plan Area in the Southeast quadrant. You have a 1/2 acre lot, and the building itself will be approximately 4,500 square feet of that lot. You plan to develop a non-profit center for 80 children. ICRI estimates the building will cost approximately $622,800 ($100 per square foot, interior, or $450,000, and $10 per square foot, exterior, or 172,800). The following are the City Fees for this scenario. PROCESSING FEES 1. Conditional Use Permit (non-profit) $110 2. Environmental Impact Fee 210 3.

This site is located in a Specific Plan Area and is a designated commercial zone. Since the land is bare, you will have to contract and pay for all necessary land improvements such as drains and gutters. ICRI estimates these improvements will cost approximately $83,750. The corresponding Engineering Fees are listed below. You are planning to build a 4,500 square foot center for approximately 80 children. We estimate the cost of constructing the building itself will be approximately $622,800 ($100 per square foot, interior, or $450,000 and $10 per square foot, exterior, or $172,800). The following are the City Fees for this scenario. PROCESSING FEES 1. Conditional Use Permit (non-profit) $110 2. Environmental Impact Fee 210 3.

County Capacity Water (1" meter) 1,594 Total Building Fees $27,646 TOTAL FEES $37,084 COMPARISON OF CITY FEES FOR DEVELOPING CHILD CARE ICRJ collected information from four Southern California cities, namely Del Mar, Irvine, Newport Beach, and Laguna Beach, in order to compare the planning, engineering and building fees assessed by the City of Carlsbad when developing child care. We found that each city's fee structure is uniquely designed. Thus it is difficult to make a general comparison regarding what it would cost to develop child care in Carlsbad with these other cities. Therefore, we compared three specific fees which were assessed by all four cities. The results are as follows: Conditional Use Permit: Carlsbad has the highest fee for a regular Conditional Use Permit (CUP) at $2,100. However, it is the only city that has a separate and much lower fee for non-profit organizations ($100). Newport Beach has the next highest fee at $970, followed by Irvine and Del Mar. The CUP fee of these last two cities is dependent on the size of the improvements and the amount of work they will entail, but according to .Irvine's planning department, it seems highly unlikely that the fee for a CUP for child care center would reach $2,000. The maximum fee for a CUP in Del Mar is $715. Zone Code Amendment: At $1,050, Carlsbad's fee for a Zone Code Amendment is comparable to Del Mar and Laguna Beach. These three cities charge between $1,000 and $1,400 for an amendment. Newport Beach has the most expensive Zone Code Amendment fee at $2,048. Tentative Parcel Map Subdivision: Carlsbad charges a flat fee of $1,580 for a Tentative Parcel Map Subdivision. This is less than the same fee for two of the comparison cities, specifically Newport Beach, which charges $1,999 or $62/lot (whichever is greater) and Laguna Beach, which charges $900 plus $300/lot up to four lots. For a subdivision of four lots, the fee in Carlsbad would be $1,580; the fee in Newport Beach would be $1,999; and the fee in Laguna Beach would be $2,100. Del Mar's fee for a Tentative Map Subdivision is the least of the four cities. They charge only $450 for this fee. Information for Irvine is unavailable at the present time. Conclusion: Among these four cities, Carlsbad's fees seem relative comparable, except for a Conditional Use Permit, which is much more expensive. Again, the fees listed above are not necessarily indications of the other fees these cities charge. They are meant only as a guide for the sake of comparison.

ICRI will discuss the options, advantages and disadvantages of establishing a Child Care Fund under each alternative. ICRI will then present a review of child care funds from other cities, including Contra Costa and Davis. Additionally, ICRI will review the attached criteria for dispensing funds. GOVERNANCE OPTIONS In developing an organizational structure for the effective administration of any of the potential child care fund options, a viable system must be established to allow for the following: * Chain of control by key individuals. * Clear delineation of fiscal authority. * Ease of fund administration. * Agreement as to the roles and responsibilities of each party participating in the operation of the child care fund. * Decisions on issues related to liability. * Decisions on methods of retaining and/or terminating individuals of governing body. * Establishment of a plan for seeking outside funds from foundations, corporations, and individual donors. . * Establishmentof a plan for distribution of the funds. OPTION A Establishing a Child Care Fund as a Separate Non-Profit Entity REQUIREMENTS Establishing a child care fund as a separate non-profit entity would require considering the following: * Operate the fund as an autonomous unit with its own board of directors. The City would decide either to appoint or recommend members to the board. All fiscal and administrative functions are concentrated under the board of directors. * Establish California non-profit incorporation and apply for IRS tax exempt status. * Establish the following protocols for the fund: acquisition of funds, criteria for dispersement of funds, administrative costs. CONSIDERATIONS Establishing the fund as a separate non-profit corporation would require careful consideration of the following: Establishing a Non-Profit Entity To establish a separate non-profit, papers must be filed with both the Secretary of State's Office, the State Franchise Tax Board and the Internal Revenue Service. Consultants could accomplish the non-profit incorporation with the Secretary of State in one day. At least a two or three month wait is standard for receiving preliminary approval from the IRS. The incorporation process poses no difficulties, but it will take time to accomplish. Development of a New Structure The full development of a child care fund, including a board of directors, policy guidelines and materials, will take approximately three months. Establishing a separate entity requires careful thought and preparation in order to ensure the implementation of a smooth, successful child care fund. OPTION B Operation of Child Care Fund as a Division of City of Carlsbad REQUIREMENTS Initiating a child care fund as a division of the City of Carlsbad would require the City to do the following: * The City of Carlsbad would assign the management oversight of the child care fund to an administrative body (e.g the Child Care Commission). Regular reporting would be provided to the City Council. * Establish the following protocols for the fund: acquisition of funds, criteria for dispersement of funds, administrative costs. CONSIDERATIONS Establishing a child care fund under the City of Carlsbad auspices would require careful consideration of the following: Oversight and Administration The child care fund could be assigned to an existing City department (e.g. the Research Department) for supervision. The City should take into consideration the impact this would have on the work load of current personnel. This may add 3-4 hours per week for one person. Budgeting Issues The child care fund requires a separate line item within the City of Carlsbad budget. Since the fund would fall directly under the City, the budget would be created and approved in the normal annual budgeting process of the City. Thus, the annual budget is a matter requiring the cooperation of the City staff involved. OPTION C Develop a Contract with Outside Non-profit Organization to Operate the Child Care Fund REQUIREMENTS Developing a contract with an outside non-profit organization to operate the child care fund would entail the following: * A list would be developed by the Child Care Commission of up to 10 potential non-profit organizations in the City that would most likely be good candidates as operators of the fund. * A phone call or meeting would be set up with each individual organization to determine its interest and ability to provide the administrative coordination of the fund. * The Child Care Commission would decide which organizations are the best choices as administrators of the fund and ask those non-profit entities to formally apply to become the coordinators of the child care fund. CONSIDERATIONS Establishing an outside contract for administration of the child care fund would necessitate careful consideration of the following: Liability Issues Using an outside provider for administration of the fund may provide for some "liability distance" from actions against City of Carlsbad. Although anyone in the potential chain of liability may be sued, under the often-used "deeper pockets" theory, a contract with an outside provider may provide some protection if action is taken. Control Issues City of Carlsbad would exercise less control over the operations of a child care fund that is contracted to an outside agency. Clear contract language can be established on fund and fiscal matters, but the remedy for violation of these established guidelines may be difficult to pursue and accomplish. Availability of Outside Contractors It may be difficult to find an acceptable outside organization. If the Child Care Commission fully researchers all potential non-profit entities, the optimal childcare coordinator may be located.

Evaluator's Comments: CHILD GARB FUNDS: A COMPARISON ICRI is in the process of comparing several funds related to child services for the Child Care Commission. Below is a comparison of the funds and foundations for which we have been able to obtain information. Family and Children's Trust Fund: Also know as the N. Adler Fund. This fund is run by the Contra Cost Child Care Council, a private non-profit agency. The Child Care Fund pays for the care of children whose parents qualify for specific programs (including GAIN, Alternative Payment, Respite/FACT and others) based on the eligibility and need of the parents. Criteria for eligibility may include service need, income, residency and/or other special circumstances. City of Davis: The City of Davis has a fund designed to improve services for children. The monies for this fund come from residents in the city on a voluntary basis. Every month Davis residents receive a utility bill which includes a place on the bill where an individual can donate money into the fund. The program began three years ago and has collected a total of three to four thousand dollars. According to a County representative, the program has not been as successful as they had hoped in part because it does not receive much support from the City, and in part because there is no marketing or public relations efforts. The Child Care Project * The Clorox Company Foundation: The purpose of this project is to increase the availability of quality child care in Alameda County. This fund has been in existence for approximately five years. In 1990 the fund disbursed $140,000. This year the fund has almost $100,000 available for disbursement to improve the quality of child care in Alameda County. Contributions to the fund come from the Clorox Company and other local companies. A task force exists to advise on the allocation of funding. The criteria for allocating funds is based on the specific child care needs of Alameda County. We are still collecting information from these and other funds/foundations and expect to have further information by the time of the next Child Care Commission meeting, July 25.

This system would maintain a resource list of mentors available to help potential providers. The mentors would be individuals who have had recent success in expanding or establishing their program in Carlsbad. Since these providers have had recent experience with the City system, they are a knowledgeable resource for potential providers. Therefore, ICRI drafted a letter and questionnaire to each provider who has recently established a child care center or has undergone expansion, asking them to participate in a mentor program. ITEM?
