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 $17,835 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 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. In FY 2006 -07 the City received a grant award of $15,100 and a one-
time -only grant award of $7,324 to assist the City with start up costs for the
Senior Nutrition Program. In 2007 -08, $15,100 in grant funds was awarded. 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 funding formula established for FY 2008 -09 has changed from years past.
The Council previously received a memo regarding this change. Funding for FY
2008 -09 is anticipated to be approximately $17,000, 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.
Delivery of frozen meals during regular delivery hours for the weekend and
holidays can be made by advance arrangement.
A Notice of Intent to apply for funds is due January 18, 2008 and grant
applications are due February 1, 2008, at 4:00 p.m.
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 each subsequent approved
City budgets. The grant funds, along with the meal donations cover
approximately 95 and 90 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 2007/08 are
$25,000 and estimated revenues are $22,500. It is anticipated that the General
Fund will subsidized the remaining $2,500 and that the FY 2008/09 budget will
be similar. These figures do not include the one time purchase of a salad bar that
was partially funding by a VCAAA grant.
