Proposition A - Transportation Fund
The $154,153 applied for in the grant to the Los Angeles County
Area Agency on Aging represents an increase of $2,400 for the
congregate nutrition program, $1,551 for the home delivered meals
program, and $592 for the transportation program as compared to
approved funding level for 1986-87.
If approved, the grant proposal will result in an estimated
increase of $8,366 in the City's General Fund contribution over
the 1986-87 level.
This increase is due to anticipated
increases in salaries, materials and supplies and food costs.
The City operates the Nutrition Program at four sites: Lincoln
Park, Memorial Park, the Senior Recreation Center and Virginia
Park. A food service company is under sub-contract to provide 225
hot meals per serving day as well as 55 home delivered meals per
serving day. In addition, the nutrition van provides 7,500 units

of transportation each year to the nutrition program, grocery
store, medical appointments and recreation activities.
Budget/Financial Impact
Appropriate grant funds and other revenue sources will be
included in the proposed 1987-88 budget in order to reflect any
grant approvals known at that time.

Angeles County Area Agency on Aging for funding in the amount of
