TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute an agreement, and any subsequent amendments, between the City of Long Beach and the California Department of Education in the amount of $2,151 for the provision of health and sanitation inspections for the Summer Food Service Program for a period of three months. (Citywide)

DISCUSSION
For over 20 years, the California Department of Education has provided federal funds to the City of Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services (Health Department) for the provision of health and sanitation inspections of the food service operations for the Summer Food Service Program within its jurisdiction. This program is provided at 32 sites located 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 $2,151 for these inspections, which will be conducted during the summer of 2011.

This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Linda Trang on May 13, 2011 and by Budget Management Officer Victoria Bell on May 18, 2011.

TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action on this item is not time critical.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City will receive grant revenues in the amount of $2,151 to offset expenditures of the same amount. Sufficient funds are currently budgeted in the Department of Health and Human Services (HE) and in the Health Fund (SR 130). There is no City match, no impact on the General Fund, and no net impact to jobs associated with the recommended action.

SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
