CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
AUTHORIZATION FOR THE
DIRECTOR OF PARKS, RECREATION
AND COMMUNITY SERVICES
DEPARTMENT TO APPLY FOR AND
ADMINISTER A GRANT IN THE AMOUNT
OF $ 230,000 FROM U.S.D.A. FOR
THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE
SUMMER FOOD SERVICE PROGRAM
FOR CHILDREN.
This federally funded program for youth ages 18 years and under has been successfully operated
since 1977. During the summer of 1997, forty feeding sites were established at locations in and
around the City of San Bernardino. A daily average of 1,790 lunch meals and 946 snacks were
served with a 44 day total of 78,747 lunch meals and 41,604 snacks. Between June 23 through
August 29, 1997, this program provided nutritional help to children who would otherwise have
been deprived of food assistance received under the National School Lunch Program. Meal
preparation and delivery are contracted with the San Bernardino City Unified School District.
This program is fully funded from the U.S.D.A Grant and no general funds are required.
Additionally, approximately $7,200 in administrative costs are reimbursed to the city. This
grant proposal application will cover program operations beginning June 29 through September
4, 1998.
