MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL --
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Peggy Rothschild, Active Adult Center Supervisor
DATE: April 27, 2011 (CC Meeting of May 4, 2011)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Authorizing Submittal of a Grant
Renewal Application to the Ventura County Area Agency
on Aging (VCAAA) for Older Americans Act Title 111-C
Contract Grant Funds for the Senior Nutrition Program,
and Authorizing City Manager to Sign All Related
Agreements
SUMMARY
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.
DISCUSSION
The City Council is being asked to adopt a resolution (Attachment A) approving
and authorizing the submittal of a grant application to the VCAAA for $21 ,809 in
Older Americans Act (OAA) Title 111-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.
During Fiscal Year (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 2010-11, a total of $21,809 was awarded in Senior
Nutrition Program grant funds. 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 meal site participants
against program costs.

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. — noon. Delivery of
frozen meals during regular delivery hours for the evening, weekend and
holidays can be made by advance arrangement.
By issuing this RFP, VCAAA is exercising its contractual option to renew the
Senior Nutrition Program grant for a fourth year. Completed applications are due
to VCAAA before 5:00 p.m. on May 13, 2011 .
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 typically cover
approximately 90 percent of the program's direct costs (part-time Senior Nutrition
Coordinator costs, supplies, and mileage for volunteer drivers). This does not
include overhead costs (full-time staff costs and utilities). The estimated direct
costs for FY 2010-11 are $25,450 and estimated revenues are $28,309. The
reason for the lower estimated direct costs in FY 2010-11 is that there was a
vacancy for the Senior Nutrition Coordinator position, which resulted in more full-
time staff involvement (not included in the direct costs calculation) and less part-
time staff cost.
