From: Human Services Department
Recommendation: Adopt A Resolution Appropriating The First 5 Alameda County Early Care And Education Emergency Grant In An Amount Not To Exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) To Provide Stipends To Eligible Early Childhood And Family Services Division Staff And Other Allowable Early Childhood ExpendituresOakland’s proposed resolution would appropriate up to $500,000 in First 5 Alameda County Measure C funds for the City’s Early Childhood and Family Services program.

Measure C is funded by a countywide 0.5% sales tax and targets educator recruitment and retention.

The $50 million payment could arrive as early as September 2026; the remaining $70 million would require future Council appropriations.
