TITLE
AN ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING $25,000 FROM
THE GENERAL FUND RESERVE TO BE PAID TO
SRDA FOR THE CONTINUATION OF WEEKEND
MEALS ON WHEELS.
ISSUE
Should City Council Authorize the use of City General Fund Reserves to
subsidize the SRDA, Meals On Wheels program?
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of ordinance
BACKGROUND
SRDA Administrative Staff has stated that Federal subsidies will fall short of the
amount needed to maintain a seven day per week Meals on Wheels program,
and that weekend service would be cut. SRDA has requested that the City and
the County governments share the cost of continuing weekend meals on Wheels
service for the remainder of the year. This funding will assist in funding
approximately 2000 meal days to 50 residents with the greatest need.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
This Ordinance appropriates $25,000 form the General Fund Reserve, to be paid
to SRDA.
