RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2018/201 to approve and authorize the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with the California Department of Aging (Agreement SP-1718-07 Amendment 1) to increase the amount payable to County in an amount not to exceed $1,996 for a new total amount of $35,052 for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education services with no change in the term October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

County to receive an amount not to exceed $35,052 (includes SP-1718-07 Amendment 1 amount of $1,996) from federal funding and no County match required.

BACKGROUND:

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Ed (SNAP-ED) funding is used to improve the health of low-income seniors through exercise and better nutrition education. Employment and Human Services designs and provides nutrition information programs. The SNAP-ED program provides year-long low-income senior sites and nutrition information classes at senior centers and congregate meal sites throughout the County. In addition, nutrition education materials are distributed to County seniors who receive Meals on Wheels food services. The increased funding will enhance existing SNAP-ED services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without funding, SNAP-ED services could not be enhanced.
