RESOLUTIONS  
6.A.  
JPS-R-0006-25  
Resolution approving funds to administer the Seniors' Drive-Thru Meal Pilot Program, in  
the amount of $142,000. (Sheriff's Office)  
Questions and comments were brought forward by Members Ozog, Garcia, Zay, Yoo and  
Schwarze. Concerns about this joint initiative between the DuPage County Board and the  
Sheriff's Office included: the source of the funding, the return of unused monies, the  
parameters for eligibility and potential adjustments to those parameters, the availability of  
sufficient food for all program participants and ensuring that those seniors in need of food  
will receive it. Discussions will continue with Mary Keating, Director of Human  
Services and the Sheriff's Office to ensure appropriate criteria are in place. Jason  
Blumenthal suggested that he and Undersheriff Moore collaborate with the Finance  
Department to create a list of the parameters. This list will then be provided to the  
Committee members for their review and feedback. Chair Evans thanked all involved for  
their work to develop this important program for qualified DuPage County seniors.  
The motion was approved on a voice vote, all "ayes".
