current service, expand and to accommodate the additional needs that they see in the community. in addition, the new center at the presidio will be serving adults with disability and this will allow us to be able to serve that population. are there any questions? >> just one. not all of these proposals include this information, but in this particular case there's a cost per meal breakout which is between $5, almost $6 per meal. some of the programs are less expensive. i know we talked a little bit about some of the culturally specific meal programs being more costly. is there a policy within the department around a ceiling or what parameters do you put on cost per meal as a part of the analysis for these proposals? >> all the appendix ab's for the nutrition program have a per meal rate that our department has agreed on to

pay. and you are correct, i mean, there's a lot of factors that we take into consideration in negotiating the rate based on, you know, the type of meal that will be provided, the organization structure, what type of meal, what the meal preparation situation is, are they getting it through a caterer because not all the centers have their own kitchen. like project open hand has their own central kitchen and when they have a much higher volume of meals those costs generally are lower too so the size of the operation, all those things take into consideration. and, you know, we do have a cap that we kind of look at, at what point will we, you know, not -- sort of cap, basically. so when you look at the, even with the costs that we have

recommended it still doesn't cover 100 percent of all the operates costs for the meal provider. all of them do fund raising. all of them actually they require a suggested meal donation and some of the seniors can't donate. so when the projection is lower than projected that means they have to fill in with additional fund raising. of course costs have gone up and with the -- the city has given all the providers some costs of doing business, a small percentage of 1.5 percent, even that doesn't cover all the increases. food costs has gone up quite a bit in the past year. so it is challenging but, you know, they are doing, they are very committed. we're really fortunate to have committed service providers and they are able to provide a service

because they also use volunteers. a lot of the volunteers are trained, they've been there for years, able to provide the service and keeping the costs down that way. >> thank you. >> uh-huh. >> okay any other question? hearing none i will call for the vote. all in favor of approval of project open hand say aye. opposes? ayes have it and so the motion is carried. q, requesting authorization to modify the grant agreement with the institute on aging for the provision of home-delivered meals assessments for adults with disabilities during the period of july 1, 2014 through june 30, 2016, in the additional amount of $100,980 for a revised total grant not to exceed $366,817. could i have a motion to discuss? >> so moved. >> second.

>> okay, we are into institute on aging. >> with institute on aging the additional amount of $100,980 is for them to be able to do the screening assessment for adults with disability to may need home-delivered meal. they do the screening assessment for this program and the meal providers that we contract with just mainly are responsible for delivering the meals to the client and not to you know -- so this is a slightly different model from our home-delivered meal for seniors, okay? with the expansion of the meals for this population we are going to need additional screening assessment time and we would like to contract and expand that service with institute on aging who is currently our

contractor for that program. >> any questions? hearing none, i call for the vote. all in favor of approval of this grant with the institute on aging say aye. opposes? ayes have it so the motion carries. r, requesting authorization to modify the agreement with meals on wheels again for the provision of home-delivered meals to adults with disabilities during the period of july 1, 2014 through june 30 2016 in the additional amount of $558,613 for a revised total grant not to exceed $814,766. could i have a motion to discuss? >> moved. >> second. >> okay, we're on. >> so with meals on wheels we are expanding this service to serve adults with disability

home-delivered meal service. currently there is a waiting list on this as well so with this additional funding we will be able to reduce their waiting list and the wait time significantly. one of the significant changes with this contract with meals on wheels is that starting in january they will be providing two meals a day for these clients similar to the senior population. in the past all our home-delivered meal providers that serve adults with disability only provide one meal a date and that's been really difficult for many of these clients because they are so low income and in need of food. so, with this, we are able to actually make it more cost efficient, provide two meals a day to these clients. those clients that maybe don't necessarily eat two meals a day they can be served by the otsd

home delivery meal provider that serves this population. so this gives us greater flexibility to meet the needs in the community. are there any questions? >> commissioner. >> is it 7 days. >> 7 days a week. >> so before this addition they were 5 days. >> they were still 7 days a week. >> but it was only one meal and now it's two meals. >> which meal is the most costly? lunch? >> when they negotiate that with the caterer and all that they take the whole package into consideration. the meal actually is very diverse. it has, you know, different types of food, ethnickally and also depending on the client if they are able to reheat food because they have a microwaive and

refrigerator they might be able to handle frozen meals and the frozen meals has brunch type of menu items, some soups, so a little different. and also want to add that clients who need modified diets they will be able to also offer it also with this program through meals on wheels. >> only because most seniors like to eat their heavier meal, you know, around noontime and something lighter, so that's why i was wondering. >> yeah, when they deliver the food the two meal package, the senior or the adult with disability would decide which meal they're going to have. >> oh, themselves. >> yeah, it's their choice, which makes it nice. >> thank you. any other questions? okay, all in favor of approval of the meals on wheels home-delivered meals program say aye. opposes? ayes have it and so the motion carries.

s, requesting authorization to modify the grant agreement with self help for the elderly for the provision of home-delivered meals to adults with disabilities during the period of july 1, 2014 through june 30th, 2016 in the additional amount of $110,000 for a revised total grant amount not to exceed $687,241. would i have a motion to discuss? >> moved. >> second. >> okay. >> okay, the additional $110000 for the two years for self-help for the elderly goes to help the agency expand the service to this population. as i mentioned earlier, there is a waiting list and we are fortunate to be able to have providers who submitted a proposal who wanted to increase service to this group.

are there any questions? >> okay, hearing none, i will call for the vote. all in favor of approving the grant agreement with self help for the elderly say aye. opposes? ayes have it and so the motion is carried. t, request authorization to enter a new grant agreement for golden gate senior service for the provision of home-delivered groceries for the period of october 1, 2014 through june 30, 2016 in the total grant amount not to exceed $120,000. could i have a motion to discuss? >> so moved. >> second. >> okay. >> okay, home-delivered groceries -- on the last stretch here -- golden gate senior services, this is a new contract. they are going to be providing home-delivered grocery delivery. they are partnering with the richmond neighborhood district center to

coordinate the delivery of the grocery bags. this is at the richmond senior center location. they will be doing the outreach, also the intake, the screening for the clients and also what's different with this program is that they will also provide other social services for these clients. so through the screening process they see that they need other services they will be able to refer them to other appropriate programs and connect them. are there any questions? all the food bags are through partnership with the san francisco marin food bank. >> any questions?

>> is there any overlap between participants in congregate meal programs home delivery programs or grocery delivery programs? can you be a participant in more than one? >> we're still trying to fine tune and finalize our screening and eligibility for home delivered grocery, but if you are actually only receiving one home delivered meal a day but you have through assessment you find that they need additional meals because one meal a day is not enough and they have the capacity, either because they have ihhs worker or a caretaker who can prepare the meal for them then, yes, they can be eligible for home-delivered grocery. because the idea is to increase their access to healthy food for people who, because of limited mobility have difficulty shopping or going out because they have too many steps to their home, you

know. so this program is targeted for seniors of low income, which means 185 percent of the federal poverty level. for a single person that's under $21,000 a year. and so if they are let's say low income, basically, and they are going to a congregate meal center, they can. they could be eligible, not for grocery delivered to the home but they could be eligible for pantry program, pantry program which the food bank also provides and it serves low income adults, older adults and families. so, yeah, the answer is yes. >> glad to hear that. >> if there are no more questions i will call for the vote. all in favor approval of the golden gate senior service program say aye. the

motion carries. u, requesting authorization to enter into a new grant agreement with san francisco marin food bank for the provision of home-delivered groceries for the period of july 1, 2014 through june 30, 2016 in a total grant amount not to exceed $625,959. could i have a motion to discuss? >> second. >> okay we are on. >> okay, so with this san francisco marin food bank this is a new contract to provide home-delivered groceries. they will be working with many nonprofit organizations in the community including their existing food pantry network partners where they can identify volunteers, get them trained to be able to do the delivery of these grocery bags to the participants who are eligible for this program. and

this funding basically covers a lot of the operating costs, you know, they don't get all the food for free, they have to purchase some of them. some of the staffing costs, start-up costs, there's a little bit of equipment there to expand in order to accommodate this huge increase in the home delivery meal program that we are doing starting this year and into next year. are there any questions? >> commissioner katie loo. >> on page 2 the bag distribution, fiscal year 14-15 is left blank. is there a reason ?r. >> what's that again? >> page 2, a2, page 2 of 5, when you look at column no. 3, fiscal year 14-15 and then down below is bag distribution

12-13278, 269 and this one is blank. >> you say it's blank? >> yes, it doesn't have anything. no number. >> are we looking at the same thing? >> yeah we are looking at the same thing. >> page 2. you are looking at table a? >> yeah, table a. >> it has the column 14-15, 15-16 and then two-year total, correct? >> i was wondering what is the, there is like a fiscal year 14-15. >> yes. >> the column where you read down 520,595, then bag distribution there is nothing. >> food bag distribution per year. >> i have a different --. >> i'm wondering if we're looking at the same document. i have things on mine. >> oh, yeah? >> you are at the marin food bank? i think it's item w

>> sorry. >> all right, thank you. >> july 1 is the one we're looking at. >> this is a new contract, right? only starting for 14-15 to 15-16. >> okay, that's the --. >> oh, sorry. >> okay, no problem. >> a lot of contracts. >> there's a lot of paperwork here. >> we're almost to the end. a couple of minutes. okay any other questions? hearing none i call for --. >> no, no, it's a mistake. we're on the same page, okay? is that on page 2? >> uh-huh. >> effective july 1 home-delivered grocery program on page 2, table a again. >> uh-huh. >> there is the first year,

second year, two year total should be 825. >> you know why? we don't -- this is a little strange. it's not a summation, it's the total unduplicated people that we serve. so, you know, total is 450 so we're not double counting the people that we are already serving. that's why. >> all right, any other questions? hearing none, i will call for the vote. all in favor of approving this san francisco marin food bank say aye. opposed? ayes have it so the motion carries. v, requesting authorization to modify the grant agreement with san francisco marin food bank for the provision of home-delivered groceries. this is a partnership with self help for the elderly and meals on wheels during the period of july 1, 2014 through june 30, 2016 in the additional amount

of $82,36 for a revised total grant amount not to exceed $438,956. may i have a motion to discuss? >> moved. >> second. >> okay, you are on. >> okay, this additional amount of $82,376 is to amend our existing contract with the san francisco marin food bank and this model, they are actually working with meals on wheels and self help for the elderly as partners or subcontractors, basically, to help deliver the grocery bag to the clients. and this is, you know, one of the models that we have currently and it continues to have a very effective one. it serves a whole different population. there is some kaupblt -- continuity for example, with self-help for the elderly. they actually identify clients who are only

getting one meal a day through their home delivered meal program but have the capacity and the need to get additional healthy food so the weekry grocery is delivered by their driver to these clients. are there any questions? >> commissioners, none? hearing none i will call for the vote. all in favor? opposes? ayes have it and the motion carries. last one. don't believe it. w, requesting authorization to modify the grant agreement with san francisco marin food bank for the provision of home-delivered groceries, brown bag program, during the period of july 1, 2014 through june 30, 2016, in the additional amount of $200,002 for a revised total grant not to

exceed $522,593. could i have a motion to discuss? >> moved. >> second. >> you are on. >> okay so this additional amount of $200,002 is a contract working with the san francisco marin food bank to expand the food pantry program. before we actually called it a brown bag program, it gets to be confusing. i think most people recognize the name food pantry so we are changing the name to call it food pantry just for clarity. these serve clients that are actually still able to walk and go to a local pantry site where they can then select the foods that they have for offer there and it is i know there's a huge waiting list, especially in some neighborhoods. this will enable the food bank to

actually expand this program and serve, you know, low income older adults as well as adults with disability. the client does get a choice as to which site they would like to go to. if there is a waiting list they will be put on the waiting list and then when it opens up they can get transferred to that pantry site. >> any questions, commissioner? >> how many sites are we talking about? >> for the daas it's actually much smaller. i think sean brooks is in the audience, he's the executive director of the organization, he can maybe address that. i know they have hundreds of sites. we are only do ago small percent of what daas will fund through this program. >> good afternoon, commissioners. this program

will allow seniors to access about 55 or 60 pantries in the city. there are other food pantries that are also serving seniors that are not going to be part of this particular augmentation, though. >> so you are spreading all over the city in different locations? >> yeah, we try to make sure there is enough access throughout the city for folks to find access. as linda indicated some of our areas are very tight now so we need to do more outreach to find new sites. >> some congregate food sites also give away bags isn't that right? >> that's correct. >> thank you. >> any other questions? >> well, isn't this the one where there were a couple blanks? >> yeah, i was going to talk to that. getting to it. >> i just had a question about the unduplicated veterans. we see an expansion, i guess, in this fiscal year but then no

anticipated growth or sustaining out years. is there a reason? >> the reason for the, there's no -- with the veterans that was a one time only grant that we got from the state and we weren't sure how much money that we'll get this year. if we do get additional funding that's confirmed we will be able to augment that augment the contract in future meetings. >> thank you. >> any other questions? seeing none, i call for the vote. all in favor. opposes? ayes have it and so the motion is carried. announcements, i think they all made them. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you for your time. any announcements? quickly. >> just to kind of say that rather than talk about the tech council today maybe we can talk

about it in the future and give an update to everybody. >> public comment? i think we have had those. okay, any public comment? so we had a motion to adjourn. >> yeah, i'd like to move that we ayurpb today in the memory of derrick zarda former independent living staff and commissioner for the mayor's office on disability. >> okay, thank you. all in favor. >> aye. >> the meeting is adjourned. thank you. (meeting adjourned). .

very details conversation about what we can do in the park and utilize what we can. >> parks are where people can gather and where to relax and a lot of people in the city don't have back yards and this is where we come to be with our community. >> 1, 2, 3.
