Item 22
22. Approve 12-month extension (modification no. 2) to interlocal agreement no. Il010211ef, with Austin community college to provide early childhood mentoring services. 22, that was a question, stephen may know the answer or is it one for purchasing if.
>> no, I just wanted a little brief description as to -- as to really what we -- what we are doing there. I mean, i've read the staff recommendations and some of the follow-up. Can you take me through just, you know, briefly, stephen --
>> basically, with this contract it's for early childhood mentoring services. It's actually for support of individuals that the -- the teachers within the -- westbound the child care arena. It is a -- it is a quality of child care initiative that we started several years ago. The amount of this contract is less because -- because there were for the enough funds within my organization to fund it at the previous level. This is essentially a quality child care issue where we are trying to make sure that the standard of care and support that the teachers and workers are giving the children is relatively high.

>> essentially, yes. We will -- we are supporting that effort last -- I just did not have general fund dollars available to do it this year. It was actually in my budget request, I think, last year. So what we are doing is just funded it to the level of owe owe [inaudible] support that we would have.
