SUBJECT:

in the Amount Up to $600,500.00 for the 2012 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 application for and acceptance, if awarded, of a grant from the Texas Department of
Agriculture in the amount up to $600,500.00 for the 2012 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 attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Grants
Fund in the amount up to $600,500.00, 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 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. The Texas
Department of Agriculture (TDA) has notified the City that funds are available for the operation of the 2012
SFSP. No matching funds are required. It is projected that 175,000 meals and 145,000 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, eight 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 bringing forward M &Cs to
receive the City Council's authorization to continue.
This program serves ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
