ITEM 3
CHILD CARE NEEDS ASSESSMENT
AND TASK FORCE
Item introduced by City Manager Bowersox. Staff report by Director of Planning
Services Wright-Quastler. SANDAG prepared a Day Care Needs Assessment for the
City which was presented to the Council on November 20, 1990. The survey was
statistically valid in the random sample mailed to residents. In addition, it
was distributed to various businesses, day care providers, city and school
district employees. The rate of return was approximately 50% and indicated that
approximately 23% of Poway households needs child care. Staff recommends for-
mation of a Child Care Task Force to propose ways to meet the residents' needs.
Speaking in favor of staff recommendation:
Betty Rexford, 11570 Creek Road, Board member For Parents and Kids' Sake,
and member of the Redevelopment Advisory Committee

and owner of Family Referral Network
