31 <br /> Janice Tyler said she and her staff agree. She said it is a 43% increase from what it was <br /> pre-pandemic. She said they are running the dual program that allows the option to dine-in or <br /> drive-through. She said they are running a survey to see if they can figure out why folks are <br /> wanting to drive through rather than come in. She said that if the emergency declaration <br /> expires, the drive-through option will go away because they currently have a waiver from the <br /> state to operate that option. She said that what is not reflected in the budget is the ARPA <br /> funding they will get from the Department of Social Services (DOSS) and some of that will go <br /> towards meals and that may help keep the curb-side meal program going. <br /> Commissioner Bedford said she is very interested in seeing the survey results. <br /> Chair Price asked if they were serving enough food for the recipient to also have dinner. <br /> Janice Tyler said no. She said that early on they were serving meals three days a week <br /> and each service had two meals. She said this equated to an extra meal each week at 6 meals <br /> rather than five. She said that she has had questions about serving dinner. <br /> Travis Myren said the ARPA money that Janice was referring to is not county ARPA but <br /> directly from the state to the Department on Aging. <br /> Slide #43 <br /> Human Services <br /> * Aging — Me 47 <br /> Senior Center Attendare <br /> 3mkmn <br /> c3433p <br /> 22LAAS IL va7 <br /> MAI) :NA.2 iSU35 <br /> WqM LEA <br /> aAmn <br /> ngma <br /> 1LP Ml <br /> Room <br /> 5RM <br /> rt L+17 rto-m 1.111 11..
