DISCUSSION:
Since 1969, the City has sponsored the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). The SFSP provides
nutritious lunches and snacks, prepared and delivered by a private vendor, to youths 18 years of age and
younger, including residents in low-income housing. Last year, 160,253 lunches and 185,723 snacks were
served to 7,288 children at 52 sites for a total operating cost of $536,239.63. The total administrative cost
which was wholly underwritten by the grant was $33,547.36. The Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA)
has notified the City that funds are available for the operation of the 2008 SFSP. It is projected that 160,500
lunches and 190,500 snacks will be served during the period from June 16, 2008, through August 22, 2008.
The Parks and Community Services Department, Community Services Division will administer the SFSP
according to guidelines established by the TDA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The SFSP requires
daily monitoring of serving sites; therefore, four existing employees will be paid from the Grants Fund for up
to a maximum of 40 hours per week. In addition, eight temporary employees will be added to aid in the
monitoring and implementation of the program.
This program services ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
