DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES/CHILDREN’S VILLAGE DIVISION – 2018/2019 NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM GRANT ACCEPTANCE The Department of Health and Human Services/Children’s Village is seeking acceptance of a grant for the meal reimbursement program from the Michigan Department of Education through the National School Lunch Program. Grant funds are reimbursed to the County for meals provided to youth placed in the Children’s Village Residential Treatment and Secure Detention programs. The reimbursement period for the grant is from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. The Oakland County Children’s Village is reimbursed the highest amount possible because they provide whole-grain options. The amount of reimbursement for this year is unknown because it is based on the cost of meals and snacks that are provided within the grant period. Last year the total cost of meals was approximately $715,905, and the reimbursement amount was $277,119. The Children’s Village also receives a reimbursement grant that will be forthcoming for Mandy’s Place that amounts to $80,000 that helps offset costs. Kowall moved to recommend approval of the attached suggested resolution. Supported by Hoffman. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote with Kochenderfer and Quarles absent. 6. BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – BOARD AUDITORIUM AND COMMITTEE ROOM A AUDIO/VIDEO UPGRADES PROJECT There have been issues with the audio/video systems in the Board of Commissioners’ Auditorium and Committee Room A, including a complete failure of the audio system at a recent Board meeting.

The resolution approves the Audio/Video Upgrades Project, which consists of new speakers, video distribution system, projection display, control system and digital sound processor (DSP) sound system. The Department of Information Technology has a contracted vendor that will provide the new equipment, installation and training. The estimated cost of the project is approximately $41,000, which includes equipment, labor and a three-year warranty. Fleming moved to recommend approval of the attached suggested resolution. Supported by Gershenson. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote with Kochenderfer absent.
