TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager to execute an agreement, and any subsequent amendments, with the California Department of Education in the amount of $1,899.92 for the provision of health and sanitation inspections for the Summer Food Service Program for a period of three months. (Citywide)
DISCUSSION
For over 19 years, the California Department of Education has provided federal funds for the City of Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services (Health Department) to provide health and sanitation inspections of the food service operations for the Summer Food Service Program within its jurisdiction. This program is provided in 31 sites throughout the City, including schools and Department of Parks, Recreation and Marine sites.
Inspections are made in accordance with State and local environmental health standards and may include: visiting feeding sites and performing temperature testing of the food as it is prepared, delivered or served; observing for safe and sanitary food handling techniques; and checking for proper storage and handling of food. Under this agreement, the Health Department will receive $1,899.92 for these inspections to be conducted during the summer of 2008.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Linda Trang on June 23, 2008 and by Budget Management Officer Victoria Bell on July 3, 2008.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action on this item is not time critical.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City will receive grant revenues of $1,899.92 to offset expenditures of the same amount. Sufficient funds are budgeted in the Department of Health and Human Services (HE) and in the Health Fund (SR 130). There is no impact to the General Fund associated with this agreement.
