AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Mary Lindley, Parks, Recreation and Community
Services Director
PREPARED BY: Peggy Rothschild, Active Adult Center Supervisor
DATE: April 5, 2007 (CC Meeting of April 18, 2007)
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 $15,100 in Older Americans Act (OAA) Title III -C
contract grant funds for the Senior Nutrition Program. Staff is making this
recommendation to cover cost increases from the initial contract which was
established with VCAAA when the City took over operation of the Senior Nutrition
Program in April 2005.
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 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 retains all donations collected from meal site
participants, with the stipulation from VCAAA that we hold in reserve ten percent
of the contributions received.
The grant funds available through the current RFP are for Senior Nutrition
Program meal site operation which includes congregate and home delivered
meals, plus quarterly nutrition counseling. 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.
Grant applications are due April 20, 2007, at 4:00 p.m.
