Refer the following budget-related requests to the Rules and Open Government Committee for consideration: a. Request that the City Manager include in the Mid-Year Budget a report on the funding status (City, County, and other funding partners) of the Children and Youth Services Master Plan and initial recommendations on the funding needed to sustain and expand the pilot locations and policy work. The City Manager should determine if any programs or services are eligible for Medi-Cal reimbursement. b. Request that the City Manager prepare a Manager’s Budget Addendum (MBA) that identifies the specific service gaps in priority underserved neighborhoods, including Hoffman-Via Monte, Edenvale/Roundtable, Cadillac/Winchester, Mt. Pleasant, Welch/Overfelt Area/Valley Palms, and Meadowfair/Silver Creek/Brigadoon, and outlines what resources would be needed for these areas to receive services equivalent to those offered at the two existing demonstration sites. c. Request that the City Manager prepare an MBA that provides multiple options to establish and structure work to sustain the Children and Youth Services Master Plan as a priority of the City Manager. 2. Request that the City Manager return to the Neighborhood Services and Education Committee (or City Council, at the discretion of the City Manager) with options to ensure widespread access to referral software licenses in alignment with the No Wrong Door approach and improve referral data systems and data sharing. Identify workplan steps toward standardized financial aid and registration applications for City of San José programs across departments. 3. Request an interim report to the Neighborhood Services and Education Committee in Fall 2026 with initial “lessons learned” in the pilot locations and any steps necessary to create third and fourth pilot locations in impacted areas of South San José near Monterey Road and in Cadillac/Winchester. 4. Request that the City Manager report to the Neighborhood Services and Education Committee in February 2026 with updates regarding the Family, Friends, and Neighbors (FFN) program and its role in the Children and Youth Services Master Plan.

Request a report to the Neighborhood Services and Education Committee regarding Recreation Preschool, including information about the viability of “upgrading” a Recreation Preschool location to be licensed and eligible for state funding.

Direct the City Manager to include in the next legislative update opportunities for partnership with the County of Santa Clara, in alignment with the Children and Youth Services Master Plan and the Latino Health Assessment, including advocacy related to support childcare. The report should include the Childcare and CalWorks sections of the County Legislative Policies Document. 9. Direct the City Manager to cross-reference the County’s presentation on the Latino Health Assessment to the full City Council, with a staff report that documents alignment with Council direction, including the Children and Youth Services Master Plan. In response to recent public violence involving youth that require intervention services and opportunities to support a different track to success, focus on Latino Health Assessment Action Plan goals: “Develop strategies to reduce juvenile justice involvement for vulnerable youth,” “Improve educational opportunities and skills training for youth,” and “Evaluate and improve early childhood education.” 10. Direct the City Manager to hold an annual joint meeting between the City’s Neighborhood Services and Education Committee and the County’s Children, Seniors, and Family Committee. 11.
