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.
