Program needs are: -3 classrooms (infant, toddler, pre-schoolers) with sinks, bathrooms, etc. -food service (breakfast, lunch, snack or supper) 8.5-13 hour days. His program could provide the equipment for food service. -an additional space for support staff, storage, bi-lingual family service worker. Aisc health services are provided to the clients at the site, and space would be needed for that to occur. There is a good chance of federal dollars, with the stipulation that it comes in pieces over time.

Next steps: The group had consensus that this grant should be pursued. Brief discussion of pre-design issues. It will be in our best interests to involve an architect in developing a basic floor plan for the facility, and also a site plan and front elevation/view of the facility for inclusion in the grant. Charlie has some leads on architects, and the district also has an architect. Agency agreements. Lease arrangements/agreements will need to be resolved as part of the grant. Examples of lease agreements, or inter-agency agreements are needed. Please bring or send to Charlie.
