SUBJECT:
Authorize Application for and Acceptance of, if Awarded, a Grant from the Texas Department of Agriculture
in an Amount Up to $950,000.00 for the 2016 Summer Food Service Program and Adopt Appropriation
Ordinance (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the application for and acceptance of, if awarded, a grant from the Texas Department of
Agriculture in an amount up to $950,000.00 for the 2016 Summer Food Service Program; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Grants Fund in the amount of$950,000.00, subject to receipt of the grant.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize a grant application to the
Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) to underwrite the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), which
provides nutritious breakfasts, lunches and snacks that are prepared and delivered by a private vendor to
youths 18 years of age and younger. Since 1969, the City has sponsored the SFSP. No matching funds
are required. It is projected that 350,000 meals and snacks will be served during the period from May
through September.
The TDA requires that each lunch meal includes servings of fruits and vegetables, whole grains and
bread, healthful meat portions and low fat milk. Snacks provided consist of whole grain products and 100
percent fruit juice.
The Community Services Division of the Neighborhood Services Department will administer the SFSP,
according to guidelines established by the TDA and the United States Department of Agriculture. The
program requires daily monitoring of serving sites, which are schools, community centers, vacation bible
schools and apartment complexes with low-income meal programs. Therefore, 10 temporary employees,
all grant funded, will be added to aid in the monitoring and implementation of the program.
The TDA has become the administering State agency for the National School Lunch Program, School
Breakfast Program, Summer Food Service Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program and Special Milk
Program in all participating public, private and residential facilities in Texas. On April 13, 2010, (M&C C-
24178) the City Council approved entering into a standard Permanent Agreement with TDA for
participation in these programs. This contract will be valid until terminated. However, the City will still
need to make an annual application to receive grant funds, and Staff will continue to bring forward M&Cs
to receive the City Council's authorization to continue this program.
