RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to submit an application #28-892, to the Dean and Margaret Lesher Foundation, in an amount not to exceed $72,772 for the County’s Pittsburg Food Access Assessment for the period July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

BACKGROUND:

This project is a part of Healthy & Livable Pittsburg Collaborative (HLPC).

The neighborhoods in the City of Pittsburg are drastically underserved by traditional food outlets such as grocery stores.

The goal of the Pittsburg Food Access Assessment is to assess the food environment in the City of Pittsburg, with particular attention to families and children living in the low income area north of Highway 4 including providing professional development opportunities to Pittsburg youth and engage them in improving their community. Implement prioritized recommendation from the plan.

In order to meet the deadline for submission, a draft copy of the application has been forwarded to Dean and Margaret Lesher Foundation, but subject to Board approval.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County will not receive funding.
