The Ephrata School District will be losing the use of a kitchen that provides upwards of 500
meals a day to Ephrata school students. Their current kitchen will be closed for a remodel,
leaving the district without many options to meet the district's needs regarding the school lunch
programs.
The County was approached by the district inquiring about the possibility of using the kitchen at
the currently closed Work Release facility near Public Works. A tour that included
Commissioner Cindy Carter, Central Services, and school district staff was held.
The district would need the kitchen as early as April of 2023 extending through July of 2023.
This is based on scheduling of the remodel of their current facility and may change to some
degree. The kitchen will meet the school's needs, and an MOU will be written to provide the
needed parameters for its use.
Central Services would like to recommend/request permission for the use of the facility by the
school district. Once approved, an MOU will be written and signed by both parties.
Respectfully submitted,
