AGENDA REPORT �� '"
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Hugh Riley, Assistant City Mana e
PREPARED BY: Angel Sierra, Active Adult Center Supervisor
DATE: February 23, 2012 (CC Meeting of March 7, 2012)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Authorizing Submittal of a Grant
Renewal Application to the Ventura County Area
Agency on Aging (VCAAA) for Older Americans Act
Title III-C Contract Grant Funds for the Senior Nutrition
Program, 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 $20,000 in Older Americans Act (OAA) Title III-C
contract grant funds for the Senior Nutrition Program. Funding amounts are
allocated to sites within Ventura County based on the percentage of total
countywide participants served at each site.
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 in 10 communities
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. In FY 2011-12 the City received a grant award of $21,810 to help offset
Senior Nutrition Program costs. 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, the City applies all donations collected from congregate and
home delivered meal participants against program costs.

Funding for FY 2012-13 is anticipated to be approximately $20,000, should our
grant proposal be approved. The grant funds available through the current RFP
are for Senior Nutrition Program meal site operation which includes congregate
and home-delivered meals. Congregate and home-delivered meals are cooked
on-site, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Congregate meals are
served at noon and home-delivered meal service is provided between 11 a.m. —
and noon.
FISCAL IMPACT
Since FY 2004-05, the City has received senior nutrition grant funds to provide
congregate and home-delivered meals at the Active Adult Center. The funds and
respective program expenditures have been included in subsequent approved
City budgets. The grant funds, along with the meal donations cover
approximately 95 percent of the program's direct costs (part-time kitchen aid,
supplies, mileage for volunteer drivers). This does not include overhead costs
(full-time staff and utilities). The estimated direct costs for FY 2011-12 are
$26,000 and estimated revenues are $24,900. It is anticipated that the General
Fund will fund the remaining $1,100 and that the FY 2012-13 budget will be
similar.
