Brewster is the lead community for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Regional Grant which offers housing rehabilitation Select Board 11.27.2023 www.brewster-ma.gov Page 3 of 10 E W'S., Town of Brewster Office of: Select Board 11`r % � 2198 Main Street Town Manager >1 Brewster, MA 02631-1898 0 co Phone: (508) 896-3701 www.brewster-ma.gov PL 11 so funds as well as childcare subsidies for eligible families up to 80% of the Area Medium Income (AMI). The Town of Brewster currently has 18 children receiving funding under this program with an annual stipend of up to $6,000 per child. Over the past five years, neighboring towns have either instituted pilot programs or have fully funded town childcare stipend programs. Ms. Kalinick noted that information is available in the packet about these programs. Ms. Kalinick noted that the most recent Town to adopt a pilot program was Harwich. The Town Manager and Assistant Town Manager meet with the Monomoy Family Resource Coordinator, Lucy Gilmore who was hired by Harwich to design their program. From recent enrollment data from Nauset Schools, it has been estimated that there would be approximately 110 to 120 eligible 3- and 4 -year-olds, this is supported by the average births in Town being about 50 a year. Ms. Kalinick made the following recommendations for discussion: • Program would be offered to families with 3- and 4 -year-olds as preschool is especially important to this age group's development in learning and transitioning to kindergarten. • The program would be funded at $250K from the available surplus overlay funds. Currently have a balance of over $1M in the overlay. The Board of Assessors would need to approve the release of the funds from the overlay and then approval at Town Meeting for expenditure. • The Town supports having an administrator for the program, one of the complexities is that since we are a CDBG community, we would have to spend all other funding before CDBG can come into play. There would need to be coordination for grant funds, having someone administrate this program in helping families to the capacity they can be helped is really important. The Town doesn't have the internal capacity to manage the program. Ms. Kalinick would be the direct contact for the program administrator and would help to promote the program and available to answer questions. • The program would be restricted to one child per family to be determined through a lottery. Additionally, a decision point is whether a 3 -year-old is in the program in the first year if they would automatically be enrolled in the second year. • The program would provide up to $4K per child and would serve up to 55 children. The $30K balance of the $250K program budget would cover administrative costs (based on what we know). • Program applications and related materials would be created in conjunction with the administrator and using the town's best practices. Ms. Kalinick proposed that we implement the program for the 2024-2025 school year effective September 2024 assuming a positive May Town Meeting vote. Mr. Lombardi noted that looking at our overlay balance, the annual expenditures against the balance and what we typically appropriate in our operating budget, this program can certainly operate as a 3 -year program and up to a 5 -year program that the Town can sustain without seeking additional appropriations at Town Meeting. This program gives the Town the opportunity to help families, gather data and understand the extent to which we are helping meet their needs. Mr. Lombardi added that the program will require a Town Meeting vote every Spring but will not impact the tax levy.

Ms. Kalinick stated that as proposed, the program is limited to one child per family. She clarified that the grant would go directly to the program that the child is enrolled in, not directly to families. Mr. Lombardi noted that as proposed a family could be eligible to receive the subsidy through the Town and through the CDBG childcare subsidy as long as it is structured in a way to access those funds, they are not mutually exclusive. Molly Brazil, 195 Alden Drive, shared that a lot of preschool applications are due by March and if families are relying on some of the money to pay for preschool, they may be hesitant with the timeline proposed. She also noted that many preschools accept children as young as 2.9 years old. Mr. Lombardi replied that this is helpful information and a point to consider for timing. The earliest the Town can act is in May, which is the next Town Meeting. Adding that for the following year, we could hypothetically bring an article to the fall Town Meeting to have the funding in place by March of the following Spring. Selectperson Bingham inquired about the costs of applying to preschools and the tuition costs. Members of the public including Ashley Hogg, 140 Sturbridge Way shared what they each pay for their preschools. The group discussed the recommendations that were presented, the attendees shared that a lottery is the fairest option, and they would be in favor of helping as many people as possible. There was group discussion on income verification and an eligibility cap, Ms. Hogg shared that her family works really hard to pay for childcare, which makes them ineligible for subsidies. She would prefer not to have an income cap on the program. Ms. Kalinick shared that families need to earn over $200K in order to purchase a house in our community as the average home is priced at $720K. Mr. Lombardi noted that adding income limits adds a layer of administration effort, time and costs. The percentage of costs spent on administration of the program offsets providing direct subsidy to the families who needed it. Members of the Select Board expressed their support of the program, noting that this would be a great investment and is positive for our workforce. Selectperson Chaffee requested to see additional options on how the funds could be spread out over a range number of children, between $3K -$4K per child grant amount. There was consensus on offering the grant through a lottery and one child per family. Mr. Lombardi shared that administration would work on this program in anticipation that there would be approval at Town Meeting, however the administrator piece would need to wait until then.

There are staffing challenges, declined enrollment, facility and looming capital improvements and there is interest in seeking grant funding to look Select Board 11.27.2023 www.brewster-ma.gov IPage 7 of 10 �a�WSr'%, Town of Brewster Office of: Select Board 2198 Main Street Town Manager g , a Brewster, MA 02631-1898 G ' Phone: (508) 896-3701 www.brewster-ma.gov �ico �////i FFB,pig at the elementary schools across the district. The Town of Orleans received a recent study report that identified $44M of renovation expenses to bring their school up to code and $55M cost estimate to build a new school. There are currently 145 students enrolled with projections trending down. To support construction of a new school, the State requires the building design to support at least 240 students, which they don't anticipate happening. Mr. Lombardi said that the budget pressures aren't going away and will continue to be a challenge to navigate. The Town completed the consolidation feasibility study a few years ago, it was ultimately decided to table those decisions until enrollment per grade was closer to 50 students. In reviewing the issues, a state grant program was identified that is targeted to help with these situations, the Efficiency and Regionalization Grant Program. The program is meant to help look at potential regionalization of services and identify operational efficiencies. The typical award is up to $125K for studies and is due the first week of February, the group is supportive of applying. A formal scope of work will be developed to present to the key stakeholders before submitting the grant. Mr. Lombardi noted that the study would look at the school facilities, staffing levels, enrollment levels, and operating expenses across all five elementary schools. The study is meant to collect information to understand if a different approach makes sense, recognizing that the learning experiences of our children are incredibly important. We want to maintain our level of standards but need to have these discussions to be in a position to make decisions about investing in infrastructure and supporting the operating expenses of our schools. Mr. Lombardi noted that local school committees have shown their support. Katie Miller Jacobus added that between the budgetary pressure and enrollment we need more data to make smart decisions. The responsibility of the school committees is to maintain the excellence of our schools and recognize that they have a responsibility to taxpayers. Mr. Lombardi believes that if we receive the grant, we will have 18 months to complete the project and thinks that the $125K will be sufficient to fully fund the project. Selectperson Chaffee moved to approve the submitting of the grant application in February to proceed. Mr. Lombardi added that it makes sense to include the Middles school in the scope as the building will be needing its own capital investments in the future. Selectperson Whitney second.
