SUBJECT: AGREEMENT FOR SENIOR NUTRITION PROGRAM, FISCAL YEAR 2024/25 Background:
The City has had an agreement with the Los Angeles (LA) County Aging and Disabilities Department for the past five years, to provide nutritious meals to the senior community. In 2023, the City partnered with Trio Community Meals, LLC (TCM), for catering services. They are one of the several caterers the LA County permits the City to use. The cost for each individual meal is competitive with most caterers. TCM are quick to respond to any questions or adjustments requested by staff. The quality of the meals has dramatically increased attendance for congregate meals and is regularly acknowledged by the patrons. It is in the best interest of the Senior Nutrition Program to renew TCM’s services for Fiscal Year 2024/25.
Fiscal Impact:
Funds in the amount of $630,000 will be allocated towards the payment of services. These funds will be reimbursed through the LA County Aging and Disabilities Department Grant Elder Nutrition Program 242507.
