AGENDA REPORT ';�77
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Mary Lindley, Parks, Recreation and Community Services
Director
PREPARED BY: Peggy Rothschild, Active Adult Center Supervisor
DATE: March 22, 2006 (CC Meeting of April 5, 2006)
SUBJECT: Consider Adoption of a Resolution for the 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 $18,300 in Older Americans Act (OAA) Title III -C contract grant
funds for the Senior Nutrition Program. This is an increase of $3,200 over the grant
request for FY 2005 -06. 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 2005 -06
the City received a grant award of $15,100 and a one - time -only grant award of $9,007
to assist the City with start up costs for the Senior Nutrition Program. Grant monies are

used to partially fund program staff and to purchase needed supplies and equipment
(i.e., disposable trays, cups and cutlery, and cushioned non -skid floor mats). 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 18, 2005, at 4:00 p.m.
