2019-1393 Report of the Committee on Urban Recreation for February 13, 2019 with an
Affirmative Recommendation.
Read, Received and Filed
2019-1348 Resolution amending Resolution No. 444 of 1977 in order to rename the “Special
Summer Food Service Trust Fund” as “Special Food Service Programs Trust Fund”.
For background purposes, note that prior to Resolution No. 444 of 1977 a new trust
fund was created every year a grant was issued, including 315 of 1971, 240 of 1972,
166 of 1973, 295 of 1975, etc. Starting with Resolution No. 444 of 1977, the City
stopped creating additional yearly funds, consolidated the older funds, and started
depositing new annual grants into a single trust fund. The City’s Department of Parks
& Recreation now seeks to rename the “Special Summer Food Service Trust Fund”
as “Special Food Service Programs Trust Fund” in order to reflect that additional
food service programming is conducted throughout the school year, and not merely
the summer.
A motion was made that this matter be Passed Finally. The motion carried by
