The council appropriated $208,658 to two senior care programs Tuesday.
Most of the money, which included a 15% match from the city, will pay for 11,550 meals to be delivered to homebound seniors.
The remainder will help pay for case management services for seniors through the Los Angeles County Area Agency on Aging. Services would include healthcare, transportation, counseling and in-home safety.
? WHAT IT MEANS
The total figure appropriated for the two programs was more than anticipated after city officials procured two last minute grants worth about $14,100.
?
The City Council approved the receipt of a $6,000 state grant to help fund a targeted seat belt enforcement program.
Police are scheduled to enforce the Click It or Ticket program between May 12 and June 1.
? WHAT IT MEANS
The grant will help pay for police officer and supervisor overtime incurred during the period.

Three large above ground oil tanks that have served the Grayson Power Plant will soon be permanently removed after the City Council approved $60,000 for the project Tuesday.
The tanks once served as fuel reservoirs for the plant’s boilers, but more strict environmental regulations have rendered them useless. The boilers now operate solely on natural gas from the Scholl Canyon Landfill.
? WHAT IT MEANS
Removing the tanks will not only sustain the site’s compliance with environmental and safety regulations, but free up much-needed space at the Utility Operations Center, according to officials.
