RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute Grant Agreement #28-892-1 from Dean and Margarent Lesher Foundation, to pay the County, an amount not to exceed $74,000, for the County’s Pittsburg Food Access Assessment, for the period July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Acceptance of this Agreement will result in up to $74,000 for the Pittsburg Food Access Assessment. (No County match)

BACKGROUND:

This project is a part of Healthy & Livable Pittsburg Collaborative (HLPC). HLPC is a multi-sectoral, community group that has met since 2013 to promote healthy eating and active living within the Pittsburg community. The neighborhoods in the City of Pittsburg are drastically underserved by traditional food outlets such as grocery stores.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Grant Agreement #28-892-1 will allow the Department to continue Pittsburg Food Access Assessment 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, through June 30, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this grant is not approved, County will not receive funds to continue the Pittsburg Food Access Assessment program in Pittsburg.
