SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
This Agreement provides congregate (group dining) and home-delivered meals to seniors living in the Monterey Peninsula area. The area includes the Monterey Peninsula/Western Region defined as Big Sur, Carmel by the Sea, Carmel Valley, Del Rey Oaks, Marina, Monterey, Pacific Grove, Sand City and Seaside. Elderly nutrition program dining sites are the Sally J. Griffin Active Living Center in Pacific Grove, the Monterey Community Center in Monterey, and the Oldemeyer Community Center in Seaside.
Due to an increase in Federal funding, this agreement is being brought for approval to be amended to add $66,583. This increased federal funding will be covering one-time organizational expenses for the congregate and home-delivered meal programs.
This revised Agreement is in alignment with the Federal Older Americans Act (OAA). The increase in the contract total is due to an increase in federal and state funding available through the California Department of Aging.
