DISCUSSION:
The City has sponsored the Summer Food Service Program for children since 1969. This program
provides nutritious lunches and snacks, prepared and delivered by a private vendor, to youth eighteen
years of age and younger, including families in low-income housing.
Last year, 136,722 lunches and 149,537 snacks were served to approximately 6,163 children at 63
sites for a total operating cost of $389,867. The total administrative cost was $17,828.
The TDHS has notified the City that funds are available for the operation of the 2003 Summer Food
Service Program. It is projected that 141,622 lunches and 154,437 snacks will be served to
approximately 6,263 children at 65 sites for the period from June 2, 2003, through August 8, 2003. The
Parks and Community Services Department, Community Services Division will administer this program
according to guidelines established by the TDHS.
Since this program requires daily monitoring of the serving sites, eight temporary employees, whose
salaries will be paid from the Grants Fund, will be hired for this purpose. In addition, four existing staff
members will be paid a minimum of two hours and a maximum of 40 hours per week from the grant
program's operating funds. These staff members will be responsible for implementing and monitoring
the 2003 Summer Food Service Program.
This program serves ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
