Recommendations for Council action: 1. APPROVE the submission of a CEFA by the Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP) to the CDSS for subsidized preschool services at RAP's licensed preschools, through the CCTR Program for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026- 27. 2. AUTHORIZE the General Manager, RAP, or designee, to execute and submit the CEFA online. 3. ADOPT the accompanying RESOLUTION, included as Attachment 2 of the Board of Recreation and Park Commissioners (Board) report dated December 18, 2025, attached to the Council file; and, DIRECT the Board Secretary to sign the web-based CEFA certifying that the Resolution was adopted. Fiscal Impact Statement: The Board reports that the submission of the CEFA for the CCTR grant from CDSS does not impact the RAP’s General Fund. If awarded and accepted, this grant would provide funding to continue subsidized licensed preschool programs for two- year old to three-year old children at any of the RAP’s licensed preschools.
