[Vision2020] meals on wheels

[Tom Ivie]

Did this problem start when the new management took over at Latah Health Services? I could have my facts wrong, but It was my understanding that they wanted to charge somewhere around $5 per meal and wouldn't replace the meals on wheels freezer when it died.  For now, they are having to get the meals out of Spokane and frozen until something can be either resolved or another arrangement made.

What about a contract with Sodexo (the UI food service contractor)? Doesn't County CommissionerJack Nelson sit on Latah Health Services board? Why hasn't he taken this issue up?

Latah Health Services are under new management and trying to get the place in the black They wanted to rase the pice of the meals. Meals on Wheels said that their customers could not afford the increase. At this point they are delivering frozen meals. This is not to satisfactory. I think both sides should go back to the bargaining table. In the mean while does anyone know of another commercial kitchen that Meals On Wheels could use.
