RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to accept grant funding in the amount of $50,000 from Dean and Margaret Lesher Foundation to support costs associated with the renovation and relocation of the Community Services Bureau (CSB) Central Kitchen.

FISCAL IMPACT:

County to receive $50,000 from the Dean and Margaret Lesher Foundation.

BACKGROUND:

The Community Services Bureau (CSB) Central Kitchen provides over 30,000 meals a month to 16 centers and families in need. CSB has been providing high quality and nutritious food to all CSB Head Start centers from the Central Kitchen “hub” since 1990. The Central Kitchen currently located at the Brookside Center is in urgent need of relocation due to the aging facilities and potential safety concerns. CSB's childcare portion of this facility was closed in June of 2018 and the children and staff were relocated elsewhere, but the kitchen remained on site. CSB has identified an alternate location with the plan to renovate and relocate the CSB Central Kitchen. This board order seeks authorization to accept Lesher Foundation funds to assist with associated relocation costs.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without adequate funding, the renovation and relocation of the CSB Central Kitchen may not be completed as designed.
