<br />Motion by Ms. Randall, and seconded by Mr. Meeks, to concur with the
<br />recommendation of the Planning Commission that UP-13-03 be approved, and was
<br />adopted by the following vote:
<br />Ayes: Cherry, Edmonds, Meeks, Moody, Psimas, Randall, Wright
<br />Nays: None
<br />- Unfinished Business -
<br />13 - 86 -Adoption of an ordinance to appropriate new revenues in the amount of
<br />$425,000 in the FY 2012-13 Education (Other Funds) for food costs associated
<br />with the existing RISE Ministries Summer Feeding Program and the new RISE
<br />Ministries After-School Program. Deferred from the February 26, 2013 City
<br />Council Meeting. Vision Principles: Change and New Directions, Lifelong
<br />Learning Community, Neighborhoods and a Sense of Community and Quality of
<br />Life.
<br />Background:
<br />• The amount budgeted for food in the 2012-2013 school year for food services is
<br />$2, 721, 000.
<br />• The current projected cost for food in the 2012-2013 school year for food
<br />services is $3,144,960. The difference between the amount budgeted and the current
<br />projected cost of food for the 2012-2013 school year is $423,960.
<br />Discussion:
<br />• Food service is participating in two programs that did not come available until
<br />after the 2012-2013 budget had been submitted: The RISE Ministries Summer Feeding
<br />Program and the RISE Ministries After-School Feeding Program. As a result,
<br />unanticipated revenue flowed into the food services fund.
<br />• There has been an increase in food cost of approximately 8% due to the
<br />increased requirements of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act (HHFKA). The exact
<br />amount of the increased cost due to the new requirements was not known until after the
<br />2012-2013 budget had been submitted.
<br />Financial Impact:
<br />• The average daily food cost for the food service operation is $16,772. Multiplying
<br />this amount by the 180 operating days is a total of $3,018,960. This amount includes
<br />the Summer Feeding Program for Rise Ministries but not the After-School Feeding
<br />Program that started in January. The projected food cost for the After-School Feeding
<br />Program is $126,000.
<br />• Current food cost projection of $3,018,960 plus $126,000 for the RISE After-
<br />School Program totals $3,144,960.
<br />• The difference between the current projected food budget ($3,144,960) and the
<br />amount budgeted for 2012-2013 ($2,721,000) is $423,960.
<br />Recommended Action:
<br />• Amending the food service budget by increasing the food cost line in the amount
<br />of $425,000. Vision Principles: Change and New Directions, Lifelong Learning
<br />Community, Neighborhoods and Sense of Community, and Quality of Life.
