Request/Subject

Approval of an Intergovernmental Agreement (Contract No. ADHS17-132851) with the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) to continue the Commodity Supplemental Foods Program (CSFP) and the Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP).

Background Information

The Board of Supervisors originally adopted this Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) on October 18, 2011. Currently, the CSFP provides approximately 200 low-income individuals, mostly seniors, with a box of commodities each month that provides vital nutrients that participants might not otherwise receive; and, Farmers' Markets are now featured events during the summer in Payson and Globe.

Contract No. ADHS 17-132851 replaces the original Contract No. ADHS 12-010890 and the four amendments to continue CSFP and SFMNP programs through September 30, 2021. There have been no changes from the previous contract.

Evaluation

This contract replaces the previous contract to continue CSFP and SFMNP services. CSFP funding will remain the same at $5,448 and the SFMNP will remain fee for service at the rate of $1.25 for each voucher issued.

Conclusion

This IGA provides funding of $5,488 for the continuation of the CSFP from October 1, 2016, to September 30, 2021, and level funding for the SFMNP.

Recommendation

The contract has been issued from the Arizona Department of Health Services in five years increments since the beginning of the program. The acronym GAAP is defined as General Accepted Accounting Principles.
