SUBJECT:
Authorize Application for and Acceptance, if Awarded, a Grant from the Texas Department of Agriculture in
an Amount Up to $600,500.00 for the 2011 Summer Food Service Program, Apply Indirect Costs at
Approved Percentage Rate and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to apply for and accept, if awarded, a grant from the Texas Department of
Agriculture in an amount up to $600,500.00 for the 2011 Summer Food Service Program;
2. Apply an indirect cost rate of 19.18 percent, which is the most recently approved rate for the department
and apply the newly approved indirect rate when available; and
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Grants Fund by up to $600,500.00, subject to receipt of the grant.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this M&C is to authorize a grant application to the Texas Department of Agriculture to
underwrite the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), which provides nutritious 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. The Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) has notified the City that funds
are available for the operation of the 2011 SFSP. No matching funds are required. It is projected that
160,500 lunches and 190,500 snacks will be served during the period from May through September.
The Community Services Division of the Parks and Community Services Department will administer the
SFSP according to guidelines established by the TDA and the United States Department of
Agriculture. The SFSP requires daily monitoring of serving sites; therefore, six 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, the City
Council (M&C C-24178) 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 bringing forward M&Cs
to receive the City Council's authorization to continue.
This program serves ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
