Board approves summer meal agreement with City of Long Beach; staff to provide revenue breakdown
Summary
Board discussed and approved a contract for the district to prepare and deliver summer meals to the City of Long Beach; staff clarified the program is cost‑pass through rather than a profit source and the board requested historical service and revenue numbers.
Board members questioned anticipated revenues from the summer meal contract with the City of Long Beach and staff clarified the district does not profit from the program but passes costs through to the city. In response to a board question, a staff presenter said, "Lamentablemente no hacemos dinero con este programa. Es apenas pasamos el costo," describing the program as a cost‑recovery arrangement.
The contract discussion included a request for historical data on meals provided in previous summers and the board approved the consent calendar items with a recorded 5–0 vote and an exception noted for a specific line item within 15.8. A board member asked staff for a follow‑up on projected meals and revenue for summer 2026.
