None Spectrum Community Services (SCS) is contracted by the Area Agency on Aging to provide federally funded meals for seniors at nearly 30 Alameda County locations. The meal plan offers: • A wide variety of menu items: See Attachment I for the May 2012 menu A hearty chef's salad (with meat or vegetarian) alternative each day; hamburgers or veggie burgers are also available as alternatives on certain days • 1/3 of senior's daily nutritional requirements • No extra salt added • Homemade soups • Sugar-free dessert substitutes For those 60 and older Spectrum charges $3.25 per meal, and $4.75 for those under 60. One of the benefits of working with Spectrum is that the fee charged for a meal is a voluntary donation and no one is turned away because of the inability to pay. This will expand access to nutritious meals for seniors in Dublin. The meal orders must be received by 1:00 p.m. the day prior by calling or stopping by the Senior Center. Spectrum Community Services (SCS) will prepare the meals offsite and deliver them to the Senior Center, but the City operates the dining site. SCS provides the training and the standards on how to handle food, and run the lunch program. They provide training on how to coordinate the food orders, setup and takedown of the dining room, accept payments from customers, serve the food, wash dishes and maintain the program records. Currently, City Staff includes a Lunch Coordinator and a dishwasher. Depending on the attendance, an additional 3-5 volunteer kitchen assistants help to serve the food. Customers are required to register for the program with SCS on an annual basis. There are currently over 332 people enrolled. In April 2012, SCS conducted their annual Dining Site Meals Satisfaction Survey which overall received good evaluations. See Attachment II. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Senior Center Advisory Committee receive the report and provide input.
