EXPLANATION:
The George H. Waters Nutrition Center, located at 1415 D Avenue, National City, 91950 is art anchor in the
National City community where a wide segment of older adult population have outlived their social circles and for
whom isolation is a critical issue; those that may be exhausted by the idea of meal preparation; those that have
lost their sense of taste and have become indifferent to cooking; and all of whom need one warm, well -balance
meal daily.
Though the Nutrition Center has been providing this excellent nutritional program, the Nutrition Center has a
history of operating in the red. For the past 6 years, the City has averaged an annual funding amount of
$326,093 for Nutrition Center operations. As a result, the City Council is requested to authorize city staff to issue
a competitive solicitation to identify a qualified and experienced nonprofit interested in accepting the operational
obligations for the George H. Waters Nutrition Center. This report includes a timeline for the Request for Proposal
process.

MIS
The Nutrition Center is offset by a Contract with the County of San Diego, but has required a substantial city annual subsidy. No City
