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- 000119 Honorable City Council April 18, 2007 Page 2 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.
