<br />
<br /> 2nd - "I sm attaching~here~o aresolution, and an agreement which cover the
<br />City of Portsmouth, s participation in the Fo~d Stamp Plan. This agreement Will be signea
<br />Jointly by Norfolk, Norfolk~Oounty, South No~folk andP,rincessAnne County and will be operated
<br />t_hrough a Joint aerealoffice. We estimate that our proportion of the total cost of operation
<br />will belbet~een $12OO.O0 and ~1500. OO a year. Th~cost is pro-rated'~ccording to the case load
<br />in e ach community and by this method the City of Portsmouth"ss hare Of the, co~st will be aporox-
<br />imately twenty per cent. ~ -
<br /> The Food Stamp Plan whioh will take place of the present Surplus ~ood
<br />distribution will, in my Opinion, be a decided advantage to the City. It will eventually cost
<br />us less than the present method of operation and will also be a decided advantage to the relief
<br />clients in that they will be able to get a greater variety of food stuffs.
<br /> ~Mrplus Food is available t~ families which have come under our Socia~
<br />Service Bureau and in the categories of General Relief, Old Age~Assistance, Aid to the Blind,
<br />Aid to Dependent Children and certain W.P.A.. clients. During the momth of October, ~? fami
<br />lies were certified for surplus commodl~ies.
<br /> I will recommend that this resolution be adopted and that provision
<br />be made in the 19~2 budget for the cost of operation."
