renovation/development, identifying criteria to develop an appropriate
RFP and evaluate proposals, and to present options and proposals to
the County Executive and County Commissioners; and
WHEREAS the child care task force, consisting of eighteen members
and two staff support from elected official areas and County

visits to other child care facilities; and
