KliNe PHONE: FAX: (202) 456-2878 FROM: Ron (ox PHONE: 850-488-4900 FAX: 850-488-9584 SUNCOM: 278-4900 278-9584 MESSAGE: Per your consersition uf Larry PintacudA Sep 25 '97 17:13 P.02/04 09.178 Child Care Partnership Act; findings and intent; grant; limitation; rules. (1) This section may be cited as the "Child Care Partnership Act. (2) (a) The Legislature finds that when private employers provide onsite child care or provide other child care benefits, they benefit by improved recruitment and higher retention rates for employees, lower absenteeism, and improved employee morale. The Legislature also finds that there are many ways in which private employers can provide child care assistance to employees: information and referral vouchering, employer contribution to child care programs, and onsite care. Private employers can offer child care as part of a menu of employee benefits. The Legislature recognizes that flexible compensation programs providing a child care option are beneficial to the private employer through increased productivity, to the private employee in knowing that his or her children are being cared for in a safe and nurturing environment, and to the state in more dollars being available for purchasing power and investment. (b) It is the intent of the Legislature to promote public/private partnerships to ensure that the children of the state be provided safe and enriching child care at any time, but especially while parents work to remain self-sufficient. It is the intent of the Legislature that private employers be encouraged to participate in the future of this state by providing employee child.care benefits. Further, it is the intent of the Legislature to encourage private employers to explore innovative ways to assist employees to obtain quality child care. (c) The Legislature further recognizes that many parents need assistance in paying the full costs of quality child care. The public and private sectors, by working in partnership, can promote and improve access to quality child care and early education for children of working families who need it. Therefore, a more formal mechanism is necessary to stimulate the establishment of public-private partnerships. It is the intent of the Legislature to expand the availability of scholarship options for working families by providing incentives for employers to contribute to meeting the needs of their employees' families through matching public dollars available for child care. (3) There is created a body politic and corporate known as the Child Care Executive Partnership which shall establish and govern the Child Care Partnership Program. The purpose of the Child Care Partnership Program is to utilize state and federal funds as incentives for matching local funds derived from local governments, employers; charitable foundations, and other sources, SO that Florida communities may create local flexible partnerships with employers. The Child Care Partnership Program funds shall be used at the discretion of local communities to meet the needs of local communities in addressing the child care needs of working parents. A child care purchasing pool shall be developed with the state, federal, and local funds to provide Copyright 1997, Lawyers Cooperative Publishing Sep 25 '97 17:14 P.03/04 subsidies to low-income working parents who are eligible for subsidized child care with a dollar-for-dollar match from employers, local government, and other matching contributors. The funds used from the child care purchasing pool must be used to supplement or extend the use of existing public or private funds and may not be used to supplant the maintenance of effort presently exerted by the employer or other participant in the activity funded. (4) The Child Care Executive Partnership, staffed by the department, shall consist of: (a) A representative of the Executive Office of the Governor. (b) Nine members of the corporate or child care community, appointed by the Governor, to be known hereafter as the "board." (ci) One representative from each of the 10 Child Care Partnership Program pilot purchasing pool counties established by the board, known hereafter as the "oversight group.' 1. Members of the board shall serve for a period of 4 years. 2. Members of the oversight group and the representative of the Executive Office of the Governor shall serve at the pleasure of the Governor. 3. The Child Care Executive Partnership shall be chaired by a member chosen by a majority vote of the board and shall meet at least quarterly and at other times upon the call of the chair. 4. Members shall serve without compensation, but may be reimbursed for per diem and travel expenses in accordance with S. 112.061. 5. The Child Care Executive Partnership shall have all the powers and authority, not explicitly prohibited by statute, necessary to carry out and effectuate the purposes of this section, as well as the functions, duties, and responsibilities of the partnership, including, but not limited to, the following: a. Assisting in the formulation and coordination of the state's child care policy. b. Adopting an official seal. C. Soliciting, accepting, receiving, investing, and expending funds from public or private sources. d. Contracting with public or private entities as necessary. e. Approving an annual budget. fi. Carrying forward any unexpended state appropriations into succeeding fiscal years. g. Providing a report to the Governor, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the President of the Senate, on or before December 1 of each year. (5) (a) The Legislature shall annually determine the amount of state or federal low-income child care moneys which shall be used to create Child Care Partnership Program child care purchasing pools in counties chosen by the board of the Child Care Executive Partnership through June 30, 1998, provided that at least two of the counties have populations of no more than 300,000. After that date, the Legislature shall review the effectiveness of the child care purchasing pool program and reevaluate the percentage of Copyright 1997, Lawyers Cooperative Publishing Sep 25 '97 17:15 P.04/04 additional state or federal funds, if any, that can be used for the program's expansion. (b) To ensure a seamless service delivery and ease of access for families, the community coordinated child care agencies shall administer the child care purchasing pool funds. (c) The department shall issue a request for proposal for the operation of the pilot child care purchasing pools. In order to be considered, the community coordinated child care agency must commit to: 1. Matching the state pilot purchasing pool funds on a dollar-for-dollàr basis and 2. Expending only those public funds which are matched by employers, local government, and other matching contributors who contribute to the pilot purchasing pool. Parents shall also pay a fee, based upon the department's subsidized child care sliding fee scale. (d) Each community coordinated child care agency shall be required to establish a community child care task force for each pilot child care purchasing pool. The task force must be composed of employers, parents, private child care providers, and one representative each from the district interagency coordinating council for children's services and the local children's services council, if they exist in the area of the pilot purchasing pool. The community cobrdinated child care agency is expected to recruit the task force members from existing child care councils, commissions, or task forces already operating in the area of a pilot purchasing pool. A majority of the task force shall consist of employers. Each task force shall develop a plan for the use of child care purchasing pool funds. The plan must show how many children will be served by the pilot purchasing pool, how many will be new to receiving child care services, and how the community coordinated child care agency intends to attract new employers and their employees to the pilot project. (6) The *1 Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services shall adopt any rules necessary for the implementation and administration of this section. History.- SS. 4, 5, ch. 88-337; 8. 43, ch. 90-306; S. 85, ch. 96-175. * Note.- The Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services was redesignated as the Department of Children and Family Services by S. 5, ch. 96-403. Copyright 1997, Lawyers Cooperative Publishing FIRST LADY HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON TALKING POINTS FOR MIAMI CHILDCARE EVENT MIAMI, FLORIDA OCTOBER 1, 1997 Normally, when I tour hospitals, I see visit them to hear about the quality of care they are providing their patients. Today, I am pleased to see how a hospital is caring for its employees by providing quality on-site child care for their children. As we all know, providing quality child care is not easy. The government and the private sector both have important roles to play in helping us meet our national child care needs. That is why I am especially interested in Florida's Child Care Executive Patnership Board. By combining the resources of both government and private business, Florida gives us a model of how we can all work together to improve our child care system. I'm pleased that the CEO's of some of Florida's major corporations are here today. Your presense sends a strong signal that child care is not only an issue for parents -- it is also of critical importance to business and the private sector. The investments we make in our children today will be returned to us in the form of stronger families, better communities, and a more productive workforce. That is a bottom line we can all appreciate. As you know, the President and I will be hosting the White House Conference on Child Care at the end of this month. It is my hope that we will be able to share with the rest of the country some of the lessons that you have learned here in Florida. We have a great deal to learn from your successes.

The program is unique in that it targets not only the at-risk adolescent but also works with the parents of the teen, the other parent of the teens child. the child of the teen, and the siblings of the teen parent. This family approach allows the program to address other risk behaviors and provides for prevention strategies. The program includes home visitation as a service delivery component and other services are provided at a central site. This program is being touted as a revolutionary approach to issues and is being looked at for replication in other states including New York. This program is very involved with the WAGES implementation. FORMAT: Program site visit; Home visit; A roundtable conversation with teens and families involved. CONTACT: Gloria Simmons (305) 696-8682 The Miami Resource Mobile BACKGROUND: The Resource Mobile is a collaboration among several governmental, educational and non-profit organizations. The major collaborators are the Junior League and Miami-Dade Community College. The Resource Mobile targets family child care homes in poor areas of Dade County and goes to the homes to provide training, support and resources to the caregivers in the communities. Family Day Care Providers provide care to primarily infants and toddlers (birth to age 3) and are often of poor or marginal quality because of the lack of resources, training and support. This is a model that other communities are looking at to improve the quality of care being provided to babies. I am sending some background material on this. FORMAT: Possibly go to a family child care home with the Resource Mobile and see the work that is done with the providers and children.

The\nLegislature also finds that there are many ways in which private\nemployers can provide child care assistance to employees:\ninformation and referral vouchering, employer contribution to\nchild care programs, and onsite care. Private employers can\noffer child care as part of a menu of employee benefits. The\nLegislature recognizes that flexible compensation programs\nproviding a child care option are beneficial to the private\nemployer through increased productivity, to the private employee\nin knowing that his or her children are being cared for in a safe\nand nurturing environment, and to the state in more dollars being\navailable for purchasing power and investment.\n(b) It is the intent of the Legislature to promote\npublic/private partnerships to ensure that the children of the\nstate be provided safe and enriching child care at any time, but\nespecially while parents work to remain self-sufficient. It is\nthe intent of the Legislature that private employers be\nencouraged to participate in the future of this state by\nproviding employee child.care benefits. Further, it is the\nintent of the Legislature to encourage private employers to\nexplore innovative ways to assist employees to obtain quality\nchild care.\n(c) The Legislature further recognizes that many parents need\nassistance in paying the full costs of quality child care. The\npublic and private sectors, by working in partnership, can\npromote and improve access to quality child care and early\neducation for children of working families who need it.\nTherefore, a more formal mechanism is necessary to stimulate the\nestablishment of public-private partnerships. It is the intent of\nthe Legislature to expand the availability of scholarship options\nfor working families by providing incentives for employers to\ncontribute to meeting the needs of their employees' families\nthrough matching public dollars available for child care.\n(3) There is created a body politic and corporate known as the\nChild Care Executive Partnership which shall establish and govern\nthe Child Care Partnership Program. The purpose of the Child Care\nPartnership Program is to utilize state and federal funds as\nincentives for matching local funds derived from local\ngovernments, employers; charitable foundations, and other\nsources, SO that Florida communities may create local flexible\npartnerships with employers. The Child Care Partnership Program\nfunds shall be used at the discretion of local communities to\nmeet the needs of local communities in addressing the child care\nneeds of working parents. A child care purchasing pool shall be\ndeveloped with the state, federal, and local funds to provide\nCopyright 1997, Lawyers Cooperative Publishing\nSep\n25\n'97\n17:14\nP.03/04\nsubsidies to low-income working parents who are eligible for\nsubsidized child care with a dollar-for-dollar match from\nemployers, local government, and other matching contributors. The\nfunds used from the child care purchasing pool must be used to\nsupplement or extend the use of existing public or private funds\nand may not be used to supplant the maintenance of effort\npresently exerted by the employer or other participant in the\nactivity funded.\n(4) The Child Care Executive Partnership, staffed by the\ndepartment, shall consist of:\n(a) A representative of the Executive Office of the Governor.\n(b) Nine members of the corporate or child care community,\nappointed by the Governor, to be known hereafter as the \"board.\"\n(ci) One representative from each of the 10 Child Care\nPartnership Program pilot purchasing pool counties established by\nthe board, known hereafter as the \"oversight group.'\n1. Members of the board shall serve for a period of 4 years.\n2. Members of the oversight group and the representative of\nthe Executive Office of the Governor shall serve at the pleasure\nof the Governor.\n3. The Child Care Executive Partnership shall be chaired by\na member chosen by a majority vote of the board and shall meet at\nleast quarterly and at other times upon the call of the chair.\n4. Members shall serve without compensation, but may be\nreimbursed for per diem and travel expenses in accordance with S.\n112.061.\n5. The Child Care Executive Partnership shall have all the\npowers and authority, not explicitly prohibited by statute,\nnecessary to carry out and effectuate the purposes of this\nsection, as well as the functions, duties, and responsibilities\nof the partnership, including, but not limited to, the following:\na. Assisting in the formulation and coordination of the\nstate's child care policy.\nb. Adopting an official seal.\nC. Soliciting, accepting, receiving, investing, and\nexpending funds from public or private sources.\nd. Contracting with public or private entities as necessary.\ne. Approving an annual budget.\nfi.

In order to\nbe considered, the community coordinated child care agency must\ncommit to:\n1. Matching the state pilot purchasing pool funds on a\ndollar-for-dollàr basis and\n2. Expending only those public funds which are matched by\nemployers, local government, and other matching contributors who\ncontribute to the pilot purchasing pool. Parents shall also pay a\nfee, based upon the department's subsidized child care sliding\nfee scale.\n(d) Each community coordinated child care agency shall be\nrequired to establish a community child care task force for each\npilot child care purchasing pool. The task force must be composed\nof employers, parents, private child care providers, and one\nrepresentative each from the district interagency coordinating\ncouncil for children's services and the local children's services\ncouncil, if they exist in the area of the pilot purchasing pool.\nThe community cobrdinated child care agency is expected to\nrecruit the task force members from existing child care councils,\ncommissions, or task forces already operating in the area of a\npilot purchasing pool. A majority of the task force shall consist\nof employers. Each task force shall develop a plan for the use\nof child care purchasing pool funds. The plan must show how many\nchildren will be served by the pilot purchasing pool, how many\nwill be new to receiving child care services, and how the\ncommunity coordinated child care agency intends to attract new\nemployers and their employees to the pilot project.\n(6) The *1 Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services\nshall adopt any rules necessary for the implementation and\nadministration of this section.\nHistory.-\nSS. 4, 5, ch. 88-337; 8. 43, ch. 90-306; S. 85, ch. 96-175.\n* Note.-\nThe Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services was\nredesignated as the Department of Children and Family Services by\nS. 5, ch. 96-403.\nCopyright 1997, Lawyers Cooperative Publishing\nFIRST LADY HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON\nTALKING POINTS FOR MIAMI CHILDCARE EVENT\nMIAMI, FLORIDA\nOCTOBER 1, 1997\nNormally, when I tour hospitals, I see visit them to hear about the quality of care they are\nproviding their patients. Today, I am pleased to see how a hospital is caring for its\nemployees by providing quality on-site child care for their children.\nAs we all know, providing quality child care is not easy. The government and the private\nsector both have important roles to play in helping us meet our national child care needs.\nThat is why I am especially interested in Florida's Child Care Executive Patnership\nBoard. By combining the resources of both government and private business, Florida\ngives us a model of how we can all work together to improve our child care system.\nI'm pleased that the CEO's of some of Florida's major corporations are here today. Your\npresense sends a strong signal that child care is not only an issue for parents -- it is also of\ncritical importance to business and the private sector. The investments we make in our\nchildren today will be returned to us in the form of stronger families, better communities,\nand a more productive workforce. That is a bottom line we can all appreciate.\nAs you know, the President and I will be hosting the White House Conference on Child\nCare at the end of this month. It is my hope that we will be able to share with the rest of\nthe country some of the lessons that you have learned here in Florida. We have a great\ndeal to learn from your successes.\nSep 25 '97 11:06\nP. 07/07\nChild Care Partnership\nExecutive Board Members\nMr. Kenneth Beedle\nX\nMr. Joseph Chapman, Chairman\nStation Manager\nRoyal American\nWFLX\n1002 West 23rd Street\n4119 West Blue Heron Blvd.\nSuite 400\nWest Palm Beach, Florida 33404\nPanama City, Florida 32405\nPh: (561) 845-2929\nPh: (904) 769-8981\nFax: (561)863-1238\nFax: (904) 769-5586\nX\nMr. Paul T.

Parents shall also pay a\nfee, based upon the department's subsidized child care sliding\nfee scale.\n(d) Each community coordinated child care agency shall be\nrequired to establish a community child care task force for each\npilot child care purchasing pool. The task force must be composed\nof employers, parents, private child care providers, and one\nrepresentative each from the district interagency coordinating\ncouncil for children's services and the local children's services\ncouncil, if they exist in the area of the pilot purchasing pool.\nThe community cobrdinated child care agency is expected to\nrecruit the task force members from existing child care councils,\ncommissions, or task forces already operating in the area of a\npilot purchasing pool. A majority of the task force shall consist\nof employers. Each task force shall develop a plan for the use\nof child care purchasing pool funds. The plan must show how many\nchildren will be served by the pilot purchasing pool, how many\nwill be new to receiving child care services, and how the\ncommunity coordinated child care agency intends to attract new\nemployers and their employees to the pilot project.\n(6) The *1 Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services\nshall adopt any rules necessary for the implementation and\nadministration of this section.\nHistory.-\nSS. 4, 5, ch. 88-337; S. 43, ch. 90-306; S. 85, ch. 96-175.\n* Note.-\nThe Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services was\nredesignated as the Department of Children and Family Services by\nS. 5, ch. 96-403.\nCopyright 1997, Lawyers Cooperative Publishing\nSep-29-97 02:29P Royal American\n850 7695586\nP.01\nFax\nTo:\nJennifer Kline\nOf:\nWhite House\nFax:\n202-456-2878\nPages:\n3, including this cover sheet.\nDate:\nSeptember 29, 1997\nAttached is the bio on Mr. Joe Chapman.
