City Council adopt Resolution No. 3819.
Background Summary:
Auburn's "Parents Connect" received a grant of $2,500 from the Developmental Disabilities Division of the
King County Dept. of Community and Human Services for FY2005. Parents Connect is requesting the
City of Auburn serve as its fiscal agent.
"Parents Connect" is a family support group for parents with children with developmental disabilities. It
provides the parents of disabled children encouragement, education and support. They provide
scholarships for children to attend recreational and special events; as well as registration fees and per
diem for parents to attend statewide conferences and workshops. Parents Connect is an advocacy group
that strives to ensure disabled children receive the public education for which they are lawfully entitled.
Parents Connect was created by the City of Auburn approximately eight years ago. The City funded the
initial organization of Parents Connect through its first Byrne grant in 1997. It was part of the Mt. Baker
Neighborhood Center. The City continued to support the group until the year 2001 through its
AmeriCorps grant. Since 2001 the group has continued to meet on its own.
In order to receive the grant, a non-profit corporation must administer it. The grant funds will be used to
provide scholarships to disabled children so that they can attend recreational programs and other special
events. Grant funds will also hire consultants to provide parents education and encouragement regarding
the care of their disabled children. The grant will also maintain the group's website, library, newsletter
and miscellaneous operational costs {i.e., postage, paper, notebooks}.
