Agenda 12/12/2023 Item #16D 5 (After the Fact First Amendment and attestation statement with the Area Agency on Aging for Southwest Fl.)12/12/2023
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve an “After-the-Fact” First Amendment and attestation statement with the Area
Agency on Aging for Southwest Florida, Inc. for Alzheimer’s Disease Initiative and Home Care for the
Elderly grant programs to increase the respective contracts by $40,000 and $18,000, revision to the Funding
Summary (Attachment II) and the Annual Budget Summary (Attachment X & IX) and authorize the
supporting Budget Amendments. (Human Services Grant Fund 1837)
OBJECTIVE: To provide uninterrupted support services to Collier County’s Services for Seniors Program elderly
clients.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Community and Human Services (CHS) Division’s Services for Seniors Program
(CCSS) has been providing support to Collier County’s frail and el derly citizens for over thirty (30) years through
the Community Care for the Elderly (CCE), Alzheimer’s Disease Initiative (ADI), and Home Care for the Elderly
(HCE) grant programs. These grants are funded by the Florida Department of Elder Affairs (DOEA) through the
Area Agency on Aging for Southwest Florida (AAASWFL). These grants enable clients to remain in their homes
and live with independence and dignity.
The current Standard Contracts for the CCE, ADI, & HCE programs were approved by the Board of Co unty
Commissioners (Board) on August 8, 2023 (Agenda Item #16.D.5).
The proposed First Amendment for ADI 203.231 will increase the ADI funding by $40,000 to $1,024,394 and
revise the Annual Budget Summary (Attachment X). This program provides clients with Alzheimer’s assistance to
relieve the primary caregiver and provide full Personal Care and Homemaking services. This will allow for an
increase in services to our existing seniors and the ability to add new clients to our program.
The proposed First Amendment for HCE 203.231 will increase the HCE funding by $18,000 to $73,538 and revise
the Annual Budget Summary (Attachment IX). This program provides a monthly cash payment of $160 to an
approved caregiver each month to provide support and maintenance for the elder client.
The increase in funding will allow Services for Seniors to provide case management and services based on current
and projected program needs. The ADI & HCE grants have no match requirement.
The following table provides a detailed breakdown of the increased award adjustment:

Home Care for the
Elderly (HCE)*
33859 $55,538 $73,538 $18,000 NA
Total 2023/2024 $1,039,932 $1,097,932 $58,000 $0
*The HCE Basic Subsidy of $44,500 is to be retained by the grantor agency and an additional $8,500 is added to Collier
County's budget amount increasing it to $29,038.
AAASWFL routinely sends CCSS agreements that require a 30-day turnaround time. This timeframe makes it
impossible to process the documents for the Board’s approval in the time requested by the AAASWFL. The
agreements for CCE and ADI are being presented “After-the-Fact” because Collier County received the fully
executed agreements from AAASWFL on October 26, 2023. Pursuant to CMA #5330 and Resolution No. 2018-
202, the County Manager authorized the Public Services Department Head to sign the contracts. These contracts are
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.

FISCAL IMPACT: Budget Amendments are required to recognize the grant revenue in the amount of $40,000 for
ADI and $8,500 for HCE. The Funds reside in the Human Services Grant Fund (1837) Project 33857 (ADI) &
33859 (HCE).
GROWTH MANAGEMENT: There is no Growth Management impact.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved as to form and legality and requires a majority vote
for Board approval. -DDP
RECOMMENDATIONS: To approve an “After-the-Fact” First Amendment and attestation statement with the
Area Agency on Aging for Southwest Florida, Inc. for Alzheimer’s Disease Initiative and Home Care for the
Elderly grant programs to increase the respective contracts by $40,000 and $18,000, revision to the Funding
Summary (Attachment II) and the Annual Budget Summary (Attachment X & IX) and authorize the supporting
Budget Amendments.

regulatory, or licensing requirement. Rule 60A-1.006(3), F.A.C., governs the procedure and consequences of
default. The Contractor shall continue work on any work not terminated. Except for defaults of Subcontractors
at any tier, the Contractor shall not be liable for any excess costs if the failure to perform the contract arises from
events completely beyond the control, and without the fault or negligence, of the Contractor. If the failure to
perform is caused by the default of a Subcontractor at any tier, and if the cause of the default is completely beyond
the control of both the Contractor and the Subcontractor, and without the fault or negligence of either, the
Contractor shall not be liable for any excess costs for failure to perform, unless the subcontracted products were
CAO
(July 2023 – June 2024) HCE 203.23

obtainable from other sources in sufficient time for the Contractor to meet the required delivery schedule. If, after
termination, it is determined that the Contractor was not in default, or that the default was excusable, the rights
and obligations of the Parties shall be the same as if the termination had been issued for the convenience of the
AAASWFL. The rights and remedies of the AAASWFL in this clause are in addition to any other rights and
remedies provided by law or under the contract.

auditable; are subject to Florida’s Public Records Law, Chapter 119, F.S.; must comply with contract Section 29, Data

The administration of resources awarded by the AAASWFL to the Contractor may be subject to audits and/or monitoring
by the AAASWFL, as described in this section.
MONITORING
In addition to reviews of audits conducted in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200 (formerly OMB Circular A-133 as revised),
and Section 215.97, F.S., (see “AUDITS” below), monitoring procedures may include, but not be limited to, on-site visits
by the AAASWFL staff, limited scope audits and/or other procedures. By entering into this contract, the Contractor agrees
to comply and cooperate with any monitoring procedures/processes deemed appropriate by the AAASWFL. In the event
the AAASWFL determines that a limited scope audit of the Contractor is appropriate, the Contractor agrees to comply with
any additional instructions provided by the AAASWFL to the Contractor regarding such audit. The Contractor further
agrees to comply and cooperate with any inspections, reviews, investigations, or audits deemed necessary by the Chief
Financial Officer (CFO) or Auditor General.
AUDITS
PART I: FEDERALLY FUNDED
This part is applicable if the Contractor is a State or local government or a non-profit organization as defined in 2 CFR Part
200, Subpart A.
In the event that the Contractor expends $750,000.00 or more in federal awards during its fiscal year, the Contractor must
have a single or program-specific audit conducted in accordance with the provisions of 2 CFR Part 200. Financial and
Compliance Audit Attachment, Exhibit 2 indicates federal resources awarded through the AAASWFL by this contract. In
determining the federal awards expended in its fiscal year, the Contractor shall consider all sources of Federal awards,
including federal resources received from the AAASWFL. The determination of amounts of Federal awards expended
should be in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200. An audit of the Contractor conducted by the Auditor General in accordance
with the provisions of 2 CFR Part 200 will meet the requirements of this part.
In connection with the audit requirements addressed in Part I, paragraph 1, the Contractor shall fulfill the requirements
relative to auditee responsibilities as provided in 2 CFR § 200.508.
If the Contractor expends less than $750,000.00 in federal awards in its fiscal year, an audit conducted in accordance with
the provisions of 2 CFR Part 200 is not required. In the event that the Contractor expends less than $750,000.00 in federal
awards in its fiscal year and elects to have an audit conducted in accordance with the provisions of 2 CFR Part 200, the cost
of the audit must be paid from non-federal resources (i.e., the cost of such audit must be paid from Contractor resources
obtained from other than federal entities.)
An audit conducted in accordance with this part shall cover the entire organization for the organization’s fiscal year.
Compliance findings related to contracts with the AAASWFL shall be based on the contract’s requirements, including any
rules, regulations, or statutes referenced in the contract. The financial statements shall disclose whether or not the matching
requirement was met for each applicable contract. All questioned costs and liabilities due to the AAASWFL shall be fully
disclosed in the audit report with reference to the AAASWFL contract involved. If not otherwise disclosed as required by
2 CFR § 200.510, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards shall identify expenditures by contract number for each
contract with the AAASWFL in effect during the audit period. Financial reporting packages required under this part must
be submitted within the earlier of 30 days after receipt of the audit report or 9 months after the end of the Contractor’s fiscal

accordance with Section 215.97, F.S.; applicable rules of the Department of Financial Services; and Chapter 10.550 (local
governmental entities) or 10.650 (nonprofit and for-profit organizations), Rules of the Auditor General. Financial

contract. In determining the state financial assistance expended in its fiscal year, the Contractor shall consider all sources
of state financial assistance, including state financial assistance received from the AAASWFL, other state agencies, and
other non-state entities. State financial assistance does not include Federal direct or pass-through awards and resources
received by a non-state entity for Federal program matching requirements.
In connection with the audit requirements addressed in Part II, paragraph 1, the Contractor shall ensure that the audit
complies with the requirements of Section 215.97(8), F.S. This includes submission of a financial reporting package as
defined by Section 215.97(2), F.S., and Chapter 10.550 (local governmental entities) or 10.650 (nonprofit and for-profit
organizations), Rules of the Auditor General.
If the Contractor expends less than $750,000.00 in state financial assistance in its fiscal year, an audit conducted in
accordance with the provisions of Section 215.97, F.S., is not required. In the event that the Contractor expends less than
$750,000.00 in state financial assistance in its fiscal year and elects to have an audit conducted in accordance with the
provisions of Section 215.97, F.S., the cost of the audit must be paid from the non-state entity’s resources (i.e., the cost of
such an audit must be paid from the Contractor resources obtained from other than State entities).
An audit conducted in accordance with this part shall cover the entire organization for the organization’s fiscal year.
Compliance findings related to contracts with the AAASWFL shall be based on the contract’s requirements, including any
applicable rules, regulations, or statutes. The financial statements shall disclose whether or not the matching requirement
was met for each applicable contract. All questioned costs and liabilities due to the AAASWFL shall be fully disclosed in
the audit report with reference to the AAASWFL contract involved. If not otherwise disclosed as required by Rule 69I-
5.003, F.A.C., the schedule of expenditures of state financial assistance shall identify expenditures by contract number for
each contract with the AAASWFL in effect during the audit period. For local governmental entities, financial reporting

months after the Contractor’s fiscal year end. For non-profit or for-profit organizations, financial reporting packages
required under this part must be submitted within 45 days after delivery of the audit report, but no later than 9 months after
the Contractor’s fiscal year end. Notwithstanding the applicability of this portion, the AAASWFL retains all right and

a.Where there is a significant variation between the race, sex, or ethnic composition of the clients and their availability
in the population, the program/facility has the responsibility to determine the reasons for such variation and take
whatever action may be necessary to correct any discrimination. Some legitimate disparities may exist when
programs are sanctioned to serve target populations such as elderly or disabled persons.
5.Enter the total number of advisory board members and their percent by race, sex, disability, and over the age of 40. If
there is no advisory or governing board, leave this section blank.
6.Each recipient of federal financial assistance must have on file an assurance that the program will be conducted in
compliance with all nondiscriminatory provisions as required in 45 CFR Part 80. This is usually a standard part of the
contract language for DOEA Recipients and their Sub-grantees. 45 CFR § 80.4(a).
7.Is the race, sex, and national origin of the staff reflective of the general population? For example, if 10% of the population
is Hispanic, is there a comparable percentage of Hispanic staff?
8.Do eligibility requirements unlawfully exclude persons in protected groups from the provision of services or
employment? Evidence of such may be indicated in staff and client representation (Questions 3 and 4) and also through
on-site record analysis of persons who applied but were denied services or employment. 45 CFR § 80.3(a) and 45 CFR
§ 80.1.
9.Participants or clients must be provided services such as medical, nursing, and dental care, laboratory services, physical
and recreational therapies, counseling, and social services without regard to race, sex, color, national origin, religion,
age, or disability. Courtesy titles, appointment scheduling, and accuracy of record keeping must be applied uniformly
and without regard to race, sex, color, national origin, religion, age, or disability. Entrances, waiting rooms, reception
areas, restrooms, and other facilities must also be equally available to all clients. 45 CFR § 80.3(b).
10.For in-patient services, residents must be assigned to rooms, wards, etc., without regard to race, color, national origin, or
disability. Also, residents must not be asked whether they are willing to share accommodations with persons of a
different race, color, national origin, or disability. 45 CFR § 80.3(a).
11.The program/facility and all services must be accessible to participants and applicants, including those persons who may
not speak English. In geographic areas where a significant population of non-English speaking people live, program
accessibility may include the employment of bilingual staff. In other areas, it is sufficient to have a policy or plan for
service, such as a current list of names and telephone numbers of bilingual individuals who will assist in the provision
of services. 45 CFR § 80.3(a).
12.Programs/facilities must make information regarding the nondiscriminatory provisions of Title VI available to their
participants, beneficiaries, or any other interested parties. 45 CFR § 80.6(d). This should include information on their
right to file a complaint of discrimination with either the AAASWFL or the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services. The information may be supplied verbally or in writing to every individual or may be supplied through the use
of an equal opportunity policy poster displayed in a public area of the facility.
13.Report number of discrimination complaints filed against the program/facility. Indicate the basis (e.g. race, color, creed,
sex, age, national origin, disability, and/or retaliation) and the issues involved (e.g. services or employment, placement,
CAO
(July 2023 – June 2024) HCE 203.23
Page 48 of 59
termination, etc.). Indicate the civil rights law or policy alleged to have been violated along with the name and address
of the local, state, or federal AAASWFL with whom the complaint has been filed. Indicate the current status of the
complaint (e.g. settled, no reasonable cause found, failure to conciliate, failure to cooperate, under review, etc.).
14.The program/facility must be physically accessible to mobility, hearing, and sight-impaired individuals. Physical
accessibility includes designated parking areas, curb cuts or level approaches, ramps, and adequate widths to entrances.
The lobby, public telephone, restroom facilities, water fountains, and information and admissions offices should be
accessible. Door widths and traffic areas of administrative offices, cafeterias, restrooms, recreation areas, counters,
and serving lines should be observed for accessibility. Elevators should be observed for door width and Braille or
raised numbers. Switches and controls for light, heat, ventilation, fire alarms, and other essentials should be installed
at an appropriate height for mobility impaired individuals.
15.Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires that a recipient of federal financial assistance conduct a self-
evaluation to identify any accessibility barriers. Self-evaluation is a four-step process:
a. Evaluate, with the assistance of disabled individual(s)/organization(s), current policies and practices that do not or
may not comply with Section 504;
b. Modify policies and practices that do not meet Section 504 requirements.
c. Take remedial steps to eliminate the effects of any discrimination that resulted from adherence to these policies and
practices; and
d. Maintain self-evaluation on file, including a list of the interested persons consulted, a description of areas examined,
and any problems identified, and a description of any modifications made and of any remedial steps taken 45 CFR
§ 84.6. (This checklist may be used to satisfy this requirement if these four steps have been followed).
16.Programs or facilities that employ 15 or more persons shall adopt grievance procedures that incorporate appropriate due
process standards and that provide for the prompt and equitable resolution of complaints alleging any action prohibited
by Part 84 of Title 45, CFR45 CFR § 84.7(b).
17.Programs or facilities that employ 15 or more persons shall designate at least one person to coordinate its efforts to
comply with Part 84 of Title 45, CFR. 45 CFR § 84.7(a).
18.Programs or facilities that employ 15 or more persons shall take appropriate initial and continuing steps to notify
participants, beneficiaries, applicants, and employees that the program/facility does not discriminate on the basis of
handicap in violation of Section 504 and Part 84 of Title 45, CFR. Methods of initial and continuing notification may
include the posting of notices, publication in newspapers and magazines, placement of notices in publications of the
programs or facilities, and distribution of memoranda or other written communications. 45 CFR § 84.8(a).
19.Programs or facilities that employ 15 or more persons shall provide appropriate auxiliary aids to persons with impaired
sensory, manual, or speaking skills where necessary to afford such persons an equal opportunity to benefit from the
service in question. Auxiliary aids may include, but are not limited to, brailed and taped materials, interpreters, and other
aids for persons with impaired hearing or vision. 45 CFR § 84.52(d).
20.Programs or facilities with 50 or more employees and $50,000.00 in federal contracts must develop, implement, and
maintain a written affirmative action compliance program in accordance with Executive Order 11246, 41 CFR Part 60
and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended.
