Regular Meeting ~ Authorization
REQUEST: City Manager requesting the City Commission to determine what, if any,
level of funding the Commission desires to grant to Meals On Wheels for FY 08.
PURPOSE: This agenda item is needed for the Commission to determine what, if any, level of
funding it desires to grant to Meals On Wheels for FY 08.
CONSIDERATIONS:
General Fund
In the FY 08 Budget the Commission set aside $17,000 for grants and aids as follows:
WMFE $ 5,000
Unspecified $12,000
$17,000
In FY 07 the Commission granted Meals On Wheels $5,000. Due to the lengthy budget debates
and related tax reform debacle, the Meals On Wheels request was not settled.
I am attaching the original budget request for your review.
FUNDING:
The Commission can fund this request at what ever level it deems appropriate.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Commission decide what, if any, level of funding it desires to grant
Meals On Wheels.

Dear Ron:
I just wanted to follow up on my letter of April 24, 2007 requesting $5,000 to help provide
services to senior residents of Winter Springs.
We are very appreciative of last year's funding and hope that we can count on Winter Springs
again this year.
Attached is the most recent waiting list data for Winter Springs. I've also enclosed the Winter
Springs client demographics previously mailed.
We hope the commissioners will say yes to this request. Other governmental funding has not
kept pace with the needs and we have to count on local entities to provide for their own
constituents.
Please give me a call if you need further information.
Thank you so much.
Kind Regards,
~ ~,

Ron McLemore, City Manager
City of Winter Springs
1126 East SR 434
Winter Springs, FL 32708
Dear Mr. McLemore:
We appreciate the opportunity to request grant funds from the City of Winter Springs.
We are asking for funding to provide services which help seniors maintain their independence and remain living
in their own homes for as long as possible.
Attached are the number of Winter Springs clients we presently serve in various programs. I would also like to
point out that there are 23 homebound Winter Springs residents on the waiting list for home-delivered meals
and 5 are waiting for homemaking services. As our demographics shift to an older population, we can expect
waiting lists to continue growing.
The difference in what it costs to provide current services to Winter Springs seniors and what is received from
our major funders is $11,425.79. (Of course, this does not account for any waiting list clients.)
We are asking the City to consider a contribution in the amount of $5,000 to help defray this amount.
Thank you so much for your past support. We appreciate your vote of confidence in our work and hope that
you will carefully consider this request.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please give me a call at (407) 333-8877, ext. 110 or
email at sfincher(a~mealsetc.org. Our web site is www.mealsetc.ors. I will also be happy to attend a city
commission meeting to answer questions.
Warm Regards,
Sherry Fincher
