the County of Los Angeles Department of Community and senior
citizen Services for funding for FY 1994/95 and authorizing the

BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Monica has been sponsoring the Senior Nutrition
and Recreation Program for the past seventeen years. Each year
the city is required to submit an application for grant funding.
The application deadline is February 15, 1994.
The C-1 or Congregate Meals Program provides approximately 190
meals per day, Monday through Friday, at four sites: Lincoln
Park, Ken Edwards Center I Virginia Avenue Park and the Senior
Recreation Center; and approximately seventy meals each Saturday
for Lincoln Park and the Senior Recreation Center. The C-2 or
FEB - 8 199't
(p -])
Home Delivered Meals Program provides approximately 45 meals per
day, seven days a week, for homebound seniors in santa Monica.
The suggested donation for the meal programs is $1.50 per meal,
with an average donation of $1.10 for the congregate meals
program and forty cents for the home delivered meals.
Revenue for these programs come from this grant, the United
states Department of Agriculture, participant donations and the
city's General Fund. The City 1S required to provide a minimum
15% match.
DISCUSSION
In addition to the home delivered meals program run by the City,
the Wests ide Ecumenical Conference (Meals on Wheels) provides
meals to homebound seniors in the Santa Monica area. During the
past year City staff assessed the feasibility of consolidating
these two services into one cost effective program. City staff
have been meeting with the County Area Agency on Aging and Meals
on Wheels to discuss various options. Such a merger, operated by
Meals on Wheels, would be cost effective and would sustain the
current level of service, providing for better coordination. The
City may remain as grantee and subcontract with Meals on Wheels
for their services. Prior to submittal of the grant proposal,
City staff will complete these discussions and incorporate the
merged service concept into the grant proposal.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACT
The city's budgeted cash match amount for FY 1993/94 was
----- ----
.
$119,500. Depending upon the final grant allocation,
approximately $100,000 will be appropriated for FY 1994/95. This
figure will be reflected in the Department's proposed budget for
FY 1994-95.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City council: (1) adopt the attached
resolution authorizing the submittal of a grant application to
the County of Los Angeles Department of Community and senior
c1tizen Services for funding and (2) authorize the City Manager
to finalize the method of meal service delivery to homebound
seniors and negotiate and execute a contract for provision of
services to the elderly through the city's Senior Nutrition and
Recreation Program.
