City agar ENCLOSURES:
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the
attached ordinance to create a new Special Revenue Fund and to
appropriate grant funds in the maximum amount of $337,413 to be
received from the United States Department of Agriculture to
conduct a summer food service program for youth aged 18 and under
from June 19, 1995 through August 18, 1995.
BACKGROUND:
Each year since 1968, the Department of Parks and Recreation has
sponsored a Summer Food Service Program for Children. Under this
program, the City provides nutritional meals in conjunction with
its comprehensive recreational program featuring arts and crafts,
sporting activities, field trips and special events. Based on
last year's program figures,the City of Miami plans to serve an
estimated 114,661 lunches (average 2,606 lunches/day x 44 days)
and 125,734 snacks (average 2,858 snacks/day x 44 days) to
eligible children at twenty-nine (29) sites throughout the City
in conjunction with the 1995 Summer Recreation Program.
The Florida Department of Education will reimburse the City at a
fixed rate of $2.2875 per lunch, and $0.5975 per snack. This
rate will provide sufficient funds to cover the meal cost and to
hire the necessary temporary, part-time recreation aides to
operate the program. Based upon the estimated number of
participants and 44 service days in the program, the total grant
amount may be as high as $337,413.
This Ordinance is being presented as an emergency item because
the department was just recently informed of the availability of
grant funds, the need to meet the State of Florida. established
time constraints and. deadlines for contract execution and to
ensure that .funds are in place prior to the start of the Summer
Program on June 19, 1995.
This item is companion to a resolution which would authorize the
purchase of food through a Metro Dade County bid.
