The California Department of Aging and the County of Orange through the Office on Aging,

annual renewals thereafter. Either party may unilaterally terminate the agreement for any major
breach upon thirty days written notice.
The agreement covers up to 80 meals a day at the nutrition site located at the North Seal Beach

number of meals shall not exceed 82,200. SMS' provision of services also includes nutrition
education services, in- service training sessions for volunteers and nutrition program staff, case
management and in -home services. According to the local Seal Beach's SMS Supervisor and
City's Recreation Supervisor, the meal provisions provided in the new contract will adequately
meet the demands within our community.
