Summary

The county authorized a contract amendment with Summit Foods for vended meals in the National School Lunch Program, approving a stated increase of "3.7" (as presented); the authorization was added as a late agenda item and approved by roll call.

Minnehaha County commissioners on Tuesday authorized the chairperson to sign the first of up to four contract amendments with Summit Foods to provide food service under the National School Lunch Program.

Jamie Gravatt, director of the Juvenile Detention Center, asked the commission to approve the amendment and said the county received the information late Friday night, necessitating its addition to the agenda. Gravatt said "the increase this year will be 3.7," and staff explained that the county uses the February CPI figure each year to calculate the amount.

After public comment and commissioner questions, a motion to approve the authorization was moved, seconded and approved by roll call. The clerk recorded ayes for the listed commissioners and the motion carried.

No further details about the contract term, total value or fiscal impact were provided in the briefing; county staff said the item required consideration before Aug. 15 and was therefore added as a late agenda item.
