BACKGROUND: Assembly Bill 2759 (Chapter 308, Statutes of 2008) created the California State Preschool Program (CSPP). This program consolidated the funding for preschool, pre-kindergarten, family literacy, and general childcare center-based programs serving eligible three- and four-year-old children to create the CSPP. The City of San Rafael has operated the Pickleweed Preschool Program, which is located at 40 Canal St. In Pickleweed Park, since 1997. The Pickleweed Preschool program is a 100% subsidized program that serves 68 income-eligible children and families by providing both part-day and full-day services that include a core class curriculum that is developmentally, culturally, and linguistically appropriate for the children served. The program also provides meals and snacks to children, parent education, referrals to health and social services for families, and staff development opportunities to employees. The City of San Rafael administers this program, and partners with other local agencies, colleges, community-action agencies, and private nonprofit agencies to provide supplemental services. SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2 Pickleweed Preschool relies on the renewal of the CSPP contract as a primary source of funding to provide these services. The preschool is designed to facilitate the transition to kindergarten for three- year-old and four-year-old children. Each child is given the opportunity to prepare and develop at their own pace under the supervision and care of City childcare staff. Each year, the program establishes goals for each child to build a foundation of skills needed to succeed in their future schooling and society. The City Council previously approved CSPP grant funding for the Pickleweed Preschool at its November 30, 2023, meeting. ANALYSIS: The City of San Rafael has had an existing agreement with the California Department of Education (CDE) to operate the Pickleweed Preschool as a CSPP contractor since 1997. Contractors holding a current CSPP contract who wish to be considered for continued funding for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025–26 must complete a Continuation of Funding Application (CFA). Contractors who apply for and are approved for continued funding do not need to sign a contract with the Department of Education to provide CSPP services for FY 2025–26. Contracts will be automatically renewed in accordance with all applicable federal and state laws and contract terms and conditions. By authorizing the CFA, the City is indicating that it wishes to automatically renew its contract for FY 2025–26 and accepts all the terms and conditions of the 2025–26 CSPP contract, which will be provided to the City no later than June 1, 2025. Contractors have no vested right to a subsequent contract. Completion of this CFA does not guarantee a renewal of funding. If the CDE determines our agency will not be renewed for a subsequent contract year, we will be notified in writing no later than Ap ril 7, 2025, pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, Title 5 (5 CCR) Section 17828. City staff recommend authorizing the CFA and renewing our CSPP contract to continue providing this incredibly valuable program. This funding is essential for the City to continue providing preschool services at Pickleweed Preschool. Historically, the CSPP contract award has not covered all expenses associated with operating Pickleweed Preschool. Annually, the CDE establishes Maximum Reimbursable Amounts (MRA) for contractors based on the number of children enrolled in the program, federal and state laws, and the Contract Terms and Conditions. FY 2025-26 CSPP funding has not been finalized and will depend on program enrollment. For FY 2024-25, the CDE has contracted with the City to provide an MRA of $510,697 in grant funding, representing 74% of the expected operating expenses of the program for FY 2025-26. This is an increase in funding from last fiscal year when the CDE provided $466,229, representing 69% of expected costs. In recent years, the City has received supplemental one-time ARPA funding, CDE Cost of Care disbursements outside the CSPP contract, Marin Childcare Council Safety Net grant funds, and First 5 Marin grants, which have supplemented the CSPP grant. The City does not expect to receive additional ARPA funds in FY 2025-26, and the CDE has not confirmed whether one-time Cost of Care disbursements will be available. The City applied for but did not receive the First 5 Marin grant in FY 2024-25; staff expect to reapply for this grant in FY 2025-26. Because of these changes, staff are projecting a possible shortfall in the FY 2025-26 budget. The City has sufficient Fund Balance within the Pickleweed Preschool Fund (Fund 260) to support operations in FY 2025-26, and City staff are actively pursuing additional funding sources to supplement the CSPP grant. SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3 FISCAL IMPACT: The following table provides a summary of the projected revenue sources supporting the Pickleweed Preschool Program budget in FY 2025-26: Pickleweed Preschool (Fund 260) Program Budget Revenue Sources: FY25-26 (projected) California Department of Education State Preschool Program $510,697 Safety Net (Marin Childcare Council) $20,000 Available (Prior Year) Fund Balance $152,591 Total Revenues $683,288 Expenditures: Personnel $620,248 Non-Personnel $63,040 Total Expenditures: $683,288 OPTIONS: The City Council has the following options to consider on this matter: 1. Adopt the resolution as proposed to authorize the City to apply for continued funding and renewal of our agreement with the California Department of Education as a CSPP contractor for Fiscal Year 2025-26. 2. Do not adopt the resolution, resulting in the City declining the opportunity to receive a grant from the California Department of Education. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing: 1. The City of San Rafael to submit the Continued Funding Application (CFA) to the California Department of Education (CDE) to renew an existing contract to provide California State Preschool Program (CSPP) services for Fiscal Year 2025-26; and 2. The City Manager to designate both the Assistant Library and Recreation Director and Senior Recreation Supervisor for Childcare Programs as authorized representatives of the City to sign the CFA and all related contract documents for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

The City Manager to designate both the Assistant Library and Recreation Director and the Senior Recreation Supervisor for Childcare Programs as authorized representatives of the City to sign the CFA and all related contract documents for Fiscal Year 2025-26. I, Lindsay Lara, Clerk of the City of San Rafael, hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was duly and regularly introduced and adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of San Rafael held on Monday, the 21st of October 2024 by the following vote, to wit: AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: Bushey, Hill, Kertz, Llorens Gulati & Mayor Kate NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: None ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: None Lindsay Lara, City Clerk Fiscal Year 2025–26 Continued Funding Application DUE DATE: 5:00p.m. November 1, 2024 California Department of Education Early Education Division EED-3704 CFA FY 2025–26 Contractors holding a current California State Preschool Program (CSPP) contract, and if applicable a Prekindergarten and Family Literacy Support (CPKS) contract, who wish to be considered for continued funding for fiscal year (FY) 2025–26 must complete this application for continued funding. The FY 2025–26 CFA Overview and Instructions may be accessed on the California Department of Education (CDE) CFA web page located at https://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/cd/ci/cfa2526.asp. Contractors are strongly encouraged to review the CFA Overview and Instructions before and after completion of the CFA and associated documents to confirm that the application and forms submitted for their agency have been completed in accordance with all applicable instructions. Current contractors who apply for and are approved for continued funding do not need to sign a contract with the CDE to provide CSPP and CPKS services for FY 2025–26. Contracts will be automatically renewed in accordance with all applicable federal and state laws and Contract Terms and Conditions (CT&Cs). By signing this CFA, the contractor is indicating that it wishes to automatically renew its contract(s) for FY 2025–26 and accepts all of the terms and conditions of the 2025–26 CSPP contract, and if applicable the 2025–26 CPKS contract, which will be provided to the contractor no later than June 1, 2025. Upon receipt of this CFA, the CDE will review the application and may contact your agency seeking additional information. If the CFA is returned to the CDE in a timely manner but is not fully and accurately completed, funding for FY 2025–26 may be delayed. Please also note that contractors have no vested right to a subsequent contract. Completion of this CFA does not guarantee a renewal of funding. If the CDE determines your agency will not be renewed for a subsequent contract year, you will be notified in writing no later than April 7, 2025, pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, Title 5 (5 CCR) Section 17828. Contractors that wish to reject the terms of the FY 2025–26 CSPP and/or CPKS contract must provide the CDE with a written notice that the terms of the contract(s) are rejected by sending an email to EarlyEducationContracts@cde.ca.gov on or before June 30, 2025. The email should come from the Executive Director/Superintendent of the contracting entity or their authorized representative and state that the terms of the FY 2025–26 CSPP and, as applicable, the CPKS contract are rejected. Contractors providing such notice to the CDE of the rejection of the terms of the contract will not have contract(s) in effect for FY 2025–26. Contractors cannot reject their CSPP contract and still receive funding under a CPKS contract as CPKS funding is tied to having a CSPP contract. If no notice is sent to the CDE, the contract will be automatically renewed, and no further action will be required from the contractor. If a contractor wishes to terminate the contract for any reason during the FY 2025–26 contract term, the contractor shall notify the CDE of its intent to terminate the contract at least 90 calendar days in advance of contract termination and shall follow 5 CCR 17795. If you have any questions regarding the CFA, please contact the CFA team by sending an email to CFA@cde.ca.gov.
