CITY OF COLTON <br />AGENDA REPORT <br />FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 5, 1998 <br />TO: Honorable Mayor & City Council <br />APPROVAL: Henry T. Garcia, City <br />FROM: Carolyn Jones, Child Care Manager <br />SUBJECT: Approval for Colton Community Childcare to apply for Membership in <br />Survive Food Bank <br />DATE: April 28,1998 <br />BACKGROUND: As recipients of State Funding we are required to provide nutritious snack to our <br />client population of over 200 children. <br />DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: Childcare is currently spending over seven thousand dollars a year for <br />nutritious snacks. The membership in the food bank will allow us to dramatically decrease food and <br />food related expenditures. The food bank offers prices we are unable to match elsewhere (14 cents a <br />pound for all food). <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The funding for this approved expenditure has a budget account no. 206- <br />7200-7202-0000-000. By utilizing the Survive Food Bank we will be able to re -direct a percentage o <br />our budget food allotment into other needed childcare supplies. <br />Carolyn J <br />MISSION CRMCAL: As recipients of funds from the State of California Department of Education <br />and Licensing we are required to provide a nutritious supplement snack. Membership in the Food <br />Bank will allow us to defray food cost and augment our budget categories designated for instructional <br />supplies. <br />May 13, 1998. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Council approve application of Community Childcare <br />for membership in Survive Food Bank. <br />Item # 9 <br />
