Miscellaneous Resolution # 84089
Byt James E. Lanni, County Commissioner, District *11
In re: Oakland County Senior Citizen Central Kitchen
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners and the
County Executive have given 30 days' notice to cancel the Oakland
caterer contract with the Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency
(OLHSA) for preparation of senior citizen meals; and
WHEREAS Oakland County officials maintain an abiding and
intense interest and concern that Oakland County's 131,317
residents age 60 and above are not unfairly penalized by this
action; and
WHEREAS Oakland County owns a complete kitchen facility
located in the County Courthouse at 1200 N. Telegraph Road, with
a capacity to serve as a senior citizen central meal preparation
site; and
WHEREAS Oakland County desires to maximize the use of our
local resources in conjunction with resources from the Federal
Older Americans Act and State funds awarded by the Area Agency
on Aging Region 1-B to provide the greatest number of cost effective
and high-quality meals; and
WHEREAS Oakland County and the Federal Older Americans Act
require that a competitive bidding process be assured in selecting
a nutrition provider agency.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Oakland County retain owner-
ship of the County Courthouse kitchen facility, and give over
operation of the kitchen as a central kitchen for preparation of
senior citizen meals to the successful bidder organization
selected by the Area Agency on Aging Region 1-B to receive older
Americans Act and State funds for the senior citizen nutrition
program.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners will review the selection criteria used by the
Area Agency on Aging Region 1-B, and sign off on the selection
of the successful bidder if satisfied that due process has been
followed in making the award.
MR. CHAIRPERSON, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
