Board OKs $6,000 to cover transportation shortfall for day treatment program
Summary
The county approved a $6,000 increase to the childcare/transportation line for a day treatment program after staff said the program saw higher-than-expected participation; the presenter said 75% of the cost is reimbursable and the board voted to move the request forward.
A presenter (speaker S8) told the committee the day treatment program underestimated transportation needs in its first year and is short by $6,000 for the current fiscal year. S8 said transportation is vital to the program because some families cannot bring children to the program and that 75% of the $6,000 is reimbursable through childcare funding.
"I unfortunately miscalculated our transportation costs for our day treatment program... we were short for this current fiscal year for our childcare fund, dollars 6,000 for transportation," S8 said. The board moved and seconded the request and approved it by voice vote.
Staff noted the reimbursement structure but the board also discussed program success and the need to ensure reliable transportation for participating families.
