RESOLUTION OPPOSING PROPOSED
DAY CARE REGULATIONS
WHEREAS, there is a critical need in the Metropolitan Area,
and the City of Richfield, for affordable, adequate, and safe day
care for working parents, and
WHEREAS, the proposed regulations of separating children
into five age groups, and increasing the ratio of staff to
children would mean extensive remodeling costs and increased
staff costs to centers, and
WHEREAS, these regulations would only increase the cost of
day care provisions, which many families could no longer afford,
and
WHEREAS, over-regulation of day care services may ultimately
mean that day care centers would close, thereby reducing the
availability of day care providers.
THEREf ORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the .City of
Richfield, that the City opposes these regulations and strongly
urges that these regulations be reconsidered.
