<br />motion to transfer $135,520 from the Grants Contingency Account
<br />for the 1995 Summer Breakfast and Lunch Program as awarded by
<br />the United States Department of Agriculture.
<br />
<br /> "The Department of Parks and Recreation is applying for
<br />funds from the United States Department of Agriculture, to
<br />provide free, nutritious meals during the summer, to youths
<br />residing in low income communities in the City. The request is
<br />for $135,520 in federal funds to serve 2,500 meals per day for
<br />33 days. A total of 39,600 breakfasts and 42,900 lunches will
<br />be served at eleven sites throughout the City. Ail sites are
<br />located in communities where more than 50% of the youths are
<br />eligible for free meals. No local money is required by the
<br />grant.
<br />
<br /> The program has operated annually for more than 30 years
<br />and is an important part of the successful SLunmer Fun-n-Sun
<br />Recreation Program. The Program offers nutritious meals and
<br />promotes self-awareness, cultural and educational group
<br />activities for all participants. I recommend approval of this
<br />request and the transfer of $135,520 from the Grants Contingency
<br />Account to fund the program after it has been awarded. The
<br />grant is usually awarded in June.
