Agenda 08/08/2023 Item #16D2 (Provide uninterrupted support services to Collier County Services for Seniors frail elderly)16.D.2
08/08/2023
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve an after -the -fact contract Amendment between the Area Agency on Aging for
Southwest Florida, Inc., and Collier County Services for Seniors Emergency Home Energy Assistance
Program FY23 funds to replace Attachments XIII-Invoice Report Schedule, XIV-Income Guidelines, XV-
Payment Matrix, and XVII-EHEAP Application effective July 1, 2023. (Human Services Grant Fund 1837)
OBJECTIVE: Provide uninterrupted support services to Collier County Services for Seniors' frail, elderly clients.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Community and Human Services (CHS) Division's Services for Seniors program has
been providing support to Collier County's frail and elderly citizens for over thirty (30) years through various grant
programs. Some of these grants are funded by the Florida Department of Elder Affairs (DOEA) through the Area
Agency on Aging of Southwest Florida, Inc. (Agency). These grant -funded services enable clients to remain in their
homes and live with independence and dignity. Collier County, as the Lead Agency, manages the spending
authority for the Emergency Home Energy Assistance Program (EHEAP). As the Lead Agency there is no
provision for the County to not accept these funds as this grant is part of the acceptance of the Agency's Older
American Act funds.
EHEAP provides crisis assistance to eligible low-income households with at least one (1) household member aged
sixty (60) or older experiencing a heating or cooling emergency. The program allows for payments to utility
companies, for the payment of deposits, late fees, disconnect and reconnection fees with Florida Power and Light
(FPL) and Lee County Electric Cooperative (LCEC), and payments to licensed HVAC contractors for the repair or
replacement of existing heating or cooling equipment.
The current service agreement, EHEAP 203.21, with an effective date of April 1, 2021, in the amount of $96,708.79
was approved by the Board of County Commissioners (Board) on June 22, 2021, Agenda Item #16D10.
The First Amendment, EHEAP 203.21.01 was approved by the Board on July 13, 2021, Agenda Item #16D2 to
replace attachment 1, EHEAP Activity Report and attachment XVII EHEAP Application and Eligibility Worksheet
of the FY21 EHEAP contract wherever stated to amend contract language.
The Second Amendment, EHEAP 203.21.02 was approved by the Board on April 25, 2023, Agenda Item #16136 to
add FY22 funds in the FY21 contract effective April 1, 2023, through September 30, 2023.
The Third Amendment, EHEAP 203.21.03 was approved by the Board on July 25, 2023, Agenda Item #16D3
reducing the FY22 contract amount by $81,823.89, adding FY23 funds in the amount of $100,000, and revising the
FY22 contract end date from September 30, 2023, to June 30, 2023, to coincide with the State Fiscal Year. The new
FY23 EHEAP 203.21.03 funds will begin effective July 1, 2023 and end June 30, 2024.
The proposed Fourth Amendment EHEAP 203.21.04 will replace attachments XIII-XVII, effective July 1, 2023.
• XIII Invoice Reporting Schedule
• XIV Income Guidelines
• XV Payment Matrix
• XVII EHEAP Application
This Amendment is being presented "After -the -Fact" because Collier County received the Amendment to replace
attachments and wherever stated to amend the contract language on June 28, 2023, effective July 1, 2023; from the
grantor agency and is required to return it within thirty (30) days. This time frame makes it impossible to process
the document for the Board's consideration. Pursuant to CMA# 5330 and Resolution No. 2018-202, the County
Manager authorized the Public Services Department Head to sign the amendment. This Amendment is being
presented for Board ratification. Collier County, as the Lead Agency, is responsible for responding to seniors' needs
and managing the spending authority for the Federal and State Funded Services for Seniors Programs.
