County approves contract shifts to boost Homestead/ISAAC and home‑delivered meal quality
Summary
A county staff member asked the board to increase contracts for Homestead/ISAAC and a 'respect' contract and to raise the dietitian contract to improve the home‑delivered meal program; the board approved reallocating funds from underperforming agencies to cover the increases.
A county staff member (speaker 3) presented three contract amendments and said the county plans to increase funding for Homestead/ISAAC and a 'respect' contract while funding those increases by reducing contracts with agencies judged to be underperforming.
The presenter said the dietitian contract increase is intended to improve the quality of the home‑delivered meal program as the county shifts to a new production model that requires more dietitian time. "The dietitian contract increase, we're working on increasing overall quality of the home delivered meal program," the staff member said. The board moved, seconded and approved the contract amendments.
The transcript records the motions and voice votes but does not list specific contract amounts for the Homestead/ISAAC or 'respect' contracts in the spoken segments. The staff member characterized the changes as a reallocation of existing funds rather than a request for new budget authority.
