June 26, 2012 funding source to this project. Discussion: • As the source of funding is currently classified as a General Fund operating commitment it will be designated as a part of the Unassigned Fund Balance if not expensed prior to June 30, 2012. • The transfer of the funds to a CIP category preserves the funding source over multiple fiscal year periods and allows for the availability of the monies, at such time the closing occurs. Financial Impact: • There is no additional financial impact beyond the current commitment. Recommended Action: • Adoption of the ordinance. Vision Principle: A Robust and Prospering Economy for Working Men and Women. Next Steps Following Council Action: • The Finance Department will initiate and complete the transfer of the $450,000. 1.

Vision Principle: Neighborhoods and a Sense of Community. Background: • The City of Portsmouth has received a grant through the Virginia Department of Health from United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for the Summer Food Program for more than 27 years, administered by the Department of Parks, Recreation & Leisure Services. • Each year the program has grown to accommodate more churches, civic organizations, schools and recreation locations. • The program provides meals during the summer months when children are out of school, and therefore the free and reduced school lunch program is not available. Discussion: • The USDA Summer Food Program for 2012 will include 38 sites consisting of Summer School sites, faith based childcare programs, community organizations and City of Portsmouth Recreation sites. • It is estimated that the program will serve 107,145 breakfasts (2,975 daily), 96,863 lunches (2,447 daily), and 9,059 suppers (417designated days). Financial Impact: • There is no City cash match required. The grant is a total reimbursement grant based on the number of meals served. Staff Recommends: • Adoption of the ordinance. Vision Principle: Neighborhoods and a Sense of Community.
