RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve implementation of the Summer
Ch i 1 dren' s Nutrition Program, and authori ze the Department of Agri culture to

BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The Children's Nutrition Program is administered by the United States
Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Services. Presently, there are
four playground sites in Chul a Vi sta that qual i fy for thi s program. To be
eligible, 50% or more of the children residing within the school boundary must
qualify for free or reduced price school meals. The eligible school sites
have been verified by the Chula Vista School District. The nutrition program
focuses on the national problem of hungry children in America, with the summer
program servi ng as a safety net when schools are not in full operat ion. The
meal consists of a sandwich, fruit, refreshments, and a snack (i .e. cookies)
and is served to any child in attendance at the playground site as long as the
youngster remains in the designated eating area. The four proposed el igible
sites are: Harborside, Feaster, Otay, and Montgomery Elementary Schools.
Si nce the Parks and Recreation Department does not have a kitchen capabl e of
prepari ng these meals, it will need to contract for thi s servi ce with an
outs i de vendor. Federa 1 regul at ions requ ire that the Department of
Agriculture conduct the bid process for this service. Following this process,
the City of Chula Vista will award the contract to the lowest bidder.
Last year the department admini stered thi s program and successfully served
10,542 lunches and 7,075 snacks to el igible children during the forty-four
days of operation from June 24 through August 24, excluding the July 4 holiday.
Based on the reimbursement factor, the United States Department of Agriculture
has paid the City of Chula Vista $25,000.56 for lunches and snacks served last
year.

This year the City will be recelvlng $1.9550 per lunch, $0.5125 per snack and
$0.195 for administrative costs. The difference between the low bid cost and
maximum reimbursement is retained by the City to cover operating costs of the
program.
As sponsors, the City would be responsible for the following:
1. Adherence to local health and sanitation regulations.
2. Organization and supervision of all meals served.
3. Assurance that all meals meet or exceed minimum requirements.
4. Assurance that meals are eaten on site.
FISCAL IMPACT: Based on the number of 1 unches and snacks served 1 ast year,
it is ant i ci pated that the program wi 11 cost $27,672. However, a 11
nutritional program and supervision costs will be paid for by the u.S.
Department of Agriculture and will have no financial impact to the City.
