RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment & Human Services Department director, or designee, to apply for and accept grant funds from the Kaiser Permanent Community Benefit Program not to exceed $29,000 for a physical activity initiative for the term July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Private grant funding of $29,000. There is no County match required to receive the funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Employment & Human Services Department, Community Services Bureau is submitting a grant application to Kaiser Permanente Community Benefit Program in the amount of $28,991 for the term July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010 for a healthy children's initiative program.

The proposed project, if funded, will address three goals:

(3) To improve the healthy nutrition choices for children.

Approval of this board order will allow the Department to accept funds and implement the program upon notification of grant award.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
