Generally, donations received by the City are set aside ir trust account to be used for the support of the program receiving the donations or as specified by the donor. Although no trust account curre exists for the meals programs, staff is recommending that one be establisl to receive donations and hold them for program related uses.

Resolution N0.8&-340 setting up a trust fund to receive donations generated by the City supported Senior Nutrition Program. q b e 0 b AUGUST 1, 1988 TO : DAVID BRADSTREET, PARKS E RECREATION DIRECTOR FROM: Sue Schultz Spickard, Senior Citizen Coordinator4b/ FY 87-88 MEALS DONATIONS In March 1987, the City took on the Nutrtion, Home Meals and Transporta Grant Programs. Since that time, in addition to the grant, the City has budgeted General Fund monies to support these programs. In fiscal year 87-88 the City through General Fund paid for 15 noon meals per day, 10 home-delivered meals per day for a total of 6,910 Senior meals, plus 6,300 sandwiches for Homebound Seniors, at a cost of $23,610 As you are aware, we request a donation from the Seniors for these servi Last year, we accumulated $9,500 in donations for the meals supported by the City. I believe we have two options regarding the $9,500 collected through dona 1) Deposit the $9,500 into the General Fund to offset the $30,000 budgeted by the City to support the Home Meals and Nutrition Program. 2) Deposit the $9,500 into a trust account whereby it can be utilzied in future fiscal years to increase the meals or purchase necessary equipment, etc. for the Nutrition Program at the new Senior Center. I recommend Option #2 as the direction to take with these funds. The reason being that in the fall of 1989 we will be opening the new Senior Center. The new Center will seat 150 participants in the diningroom (we presently can seat up to 120). We do not anticipate an increase to the grant award for meals. By depositing this $9,500 into a trust fund and appropriating it in fiscal year 89-90 to be used to support the Meals Program, we can potentially increase the meals served by 20 per day, bringing our total to 140 meals without burdening the General Fund.
