Title
To authorize and direct the Director of Recreation and Parks to accept two grants in the amount of $450,874.00 and enter into seven (7) contracts for the expansion of congregate and home-delivered meals for older adults, to authorize an appropriation of $450,874.00 from the unappropriated balance of the Recreation and Parks Grant Fund to the Recreation and Parks Department; and to declare an emergency.

Explanation
Background:
This ordinance will enable the Director of Recreation and Parks to accept two grants, enter into various contracts and to provide for the appropriation of said funds to the Recreation and Parks Grant Fund.

Grant funding is being made available by the Ohio Department of Aging to the Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging in connection with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. These funds are to be used to provide congregate and home-delivered meals to seniors in need of food, restore nutrition service s that have been cut and restore positions which may have been eliminated or reduced.

Contracts are being awarded to the seven (7) existing nutrition providers , per the attached contract list, who currently provide congregate and home-delivered meals under the Older American's Act.

Emergency action is being requested so that the expansion of congregate and home-delivered meals can be available to older adults as soon as possible in accordance with the conditions of the grants.

$450,874.00 in grant funding will be used to expand congregate and home-delivered meals to older adults in Central Ohio. The fiscal impact of this ordinance will be to reduce the Recreation and Parks Grant Funds appropriated balance by $450,874.00. The expenditure of $450,874.00 is budgeted in the Recreation and Parks Grant Fund.
