DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize a grant application to the
Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) to underwrite the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), which f
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 TDA has
notified the City that funds are available for the operation of the 2015 SFSP. No matching funds are
required. It is projected that 350,000 meals and snacks will be served during the period from May through
September.
The TDA requires that each lunch meal includes servings of fruits and vegetables, whole grains and
bread, healthful meat portions and low fat milk. Snacks provided consist of whole grain products and, 100
percent fruit juice.
I
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 program requires daily monitoring of serving sites which are schools, community centers, vacation
bible schools and apartment complexes with low income meal programs. Therefore, 10 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- i
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.
