Issue: The Webb County Community Action Agency Meals on Wheels program will end the current fiscal year on September 30, 2016. The Meals on Wheels Program Community Care for the Aged and Disabled (CCAD) Contract has renewed and accepted by the state office to provide Home-Delivered meals. The Meals On Wheels program staff are not a part of the county's wage plan.

Solution: The discussion and possible action is to amend the current Community Care for the Aged and Disabled (CCAD) contract to provide Home Delivered Meals to the elderly, who are qualified home-bound residents of Webb County.

Result: The Community Care for the Aged and Disabled (CCAD) contract will provide an estimated 68,857 Home Delivered Meals from October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017. This will effectively adjust the general order in accordance as adopted for the fiscal year 2016-2017.

Background:
