The committee approved an $18,574 increase to the county's Meals on Wheels contract after the Office for the Aging reported rising demand.
Gabe (speaker 9) told members that the program is delivering about 500 more meals per month than a year earlier and that the increase will be covered by additional unmet-need funding allocated to the office. "We've had an increase in people utilizing the program," Gabe said, and confirmed the adjustment is budgeted.
Members voiced support, and the motion to increase the contract was seconded and approved by voice vote. No alternate funding source was proposed during the meeting.
