TO: Senior Citizens Advisory Board
FROM: Meghan Rosin, Recreation Services Manager
SUBJECT: Nutrition Site Council MOU – FY 2024/25
BACKGROUND:
The Nutrition Site Council (NSC) was established in September 1993 to support programs and services for
seniors. Since NSC’s inception, the Senior Center has worked collaboratively with the NSC to support programs
and opportunities to seniors in the San Bruno community. The purpose for establishing a formal MOU is to define
the working relationship clearly.
DISCUSSION:
The Community Services Department has oversight of the San Bruno Senior Center and endeavors to work in
partnership with organizations such as the NSC. On-going programs are executed in partnership with the NSC
such as bingo events, bread and pastry program, lunch entertainment, nutrition program, café operations, and
other various fundraising events. In doing so, the NSC is able to help support and help offset funding for Senior
Center programming.
Staff have held a series of meetings with the NSC to formalize the partnership. The MOU for FY 2024/25
formalizes the partnership between the City and NSC to work cooperatively to provide the following, as mutually
agreed upon by both parties:
• Bingo
• Bread and Pastry Program
• Lunch entertainment
• Senior Nutrition Program
• Various fundraising events
• Café operations
During the mid-year budget process staff will bring an item forward to the City Council to consider a part-time
liaison to the NSC paid for by the NSC at full cost recovery. If approved, an amendment will be made to the
agreement.
The agreement is simultaneously under review by the City Attorney and the Chief Operating Officer. The Senior
Advisory Board is requested to evaluate the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), offering any
recommendations or considerations. The board is also expected to advise the City Council to approve the MOU,
thereby continuing the partnership with the NSC.
Item 6c
Page 10 of 17
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact is a loss of revenue in the amount of approximately $110,000 from rental fees and auxiliary

$120,000 in earmarked funding supporting lunchtime entertainment, nutrition program, transportation and other
senior programming.

ALTERNATIVES:
None.
