SUBJECT: Consider Adoption of a Resolution Authorizing the
Submittal of a Grant Renewal Application to the
Ventura County Area Agency on Aging for Older
Americans Act Title III -C Nutrition Contract Funds
and Authorizing City Manager to Sign All Related
Agreements
DISCUSSION
The City Council is being asked to adopt a resolution
(Attachment A) approving and authorizing the submittal of a
grant application to the Ventura County Area Agency on Aging
( VCAAA) for $14,932 in Older Americans Act (OAA) Title III -C
funds for the Senior Nutrition Program.
The VCAAA has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to Ventura
County Senior Nutrition Program sites to submit renewal
applications for program funding. The VCAAA currently
administers the Senior Nutrition Program at 14 locations
throughout the county. The funds to operate this program are
derived from a combination of sources, including Federal Older
Americans Act (OAA), participant donations, local grants, and
in -kind donations.
During FY 2004 -05, the countywide Senior Nutrition Program was
restructured, and the City assumed responsibility for the day -
to -day operation of the Senior Nutrition Program lunch site in
Moorpark, receiving partial program funding from VCAAA. The
grant funds available through the current RFP are for Senior
Nutrition Program meal site operation. In addition to these OAA

grant funds, VCAAA purchases and contracts for delivery of the
frozen meals to the City. As part of our agreement with VCAAA,
the City retains all donations collected from meal site
participants, less ten percent.
Congregate meals are cooked and served on -site at noon, Monday
through Friday, excluding holidays. Home - delivered meal service
is also provided Monday.through Friday, either through a once -a-
week frozen meal delivery or as a daily cooked meal delivery.
The type of delivery and whether or not the meal is provided
frozen or cooked is based upon the recipient's ability to heat
the meal. Delivery of weekend and holiday meals, during regular
delivery hours, can be made by advance arrangement.
Grant applications were due May 18, 2005, at 4:00 p.m., and
staff submitted an application for funding by that date. As a
result, there was not sufficient time to present the City
Council with the necessary resolution. As has been the case in
the past, VCAAA has agreed to accept an adopted resolution by
the City after the application due date. In the event the
Council does not approve the proposed resolution, staff will
withdraw the application.
