DISCUSSION: The Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act provides reimbursement for snacks served to children through age 18 years, who are participating in certain after school programs. The programs must be located in low- income areas and should be designed to provide the types of activities known to reduce or prevent involvement in juvenile crime. The basic purpose of the program is to provide care for children after the school day has ended, and must provide children with regularly scheduled educational or enrichment activities in a structured and supervised environment. The THHSC has notified the City that funds are available for the Year 2008 CACNP for At Risk After School Programs. It is projected that 150,000 snacks will be served to approximately 700 children at 19 community centers operating At Risk After School Programs from October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008. The Community Services Division of the Parks and Community Services Department will administer the program according to guidelines established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the THHSC. Existing staff administers this program and the grant does not allow for the inclusion of indirect costs. This program services ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, award of the grant and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as Logname: 80SNACK08 Page 1 of 2 appropriated, of the Grants Fund.
