Agenda 06/09/2009 Item #16D15 Agenda Item No. 16015 June 9, 2009 Page 1 of 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve a budget amendment in the amount of $6,191 to ensure continuous funding of the Home Care for the Elderly grant for the Services for Seniors program from the Area Agency on Aging and authorize eligible expenditures prior to the execution of the agreement. OBJECTIVE: To amend the Home Care for the Elderly (HCE) operating budget at the FY08- 09 continuation funding level to allow for uninterrupted support services to Services for Seniors' frail, elderly clients. CONSIDERATIONS: For the past 15 years, Collier County Services for Seniors has been providing in-home support services to Collier County's frail elderly through this state funded program. This continuation grant in the amount of $72,571, for the period July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010 will provide in-home support services through the encouragement and management of family-type living arrangements in private homes as an alternative to costly and permanent nursing home care. The majority of these clients would be unable to remain in their homes without this help. The grant requires no local matching funds. Historically, Collier County Services for Seniors receives the continuation agreement during the latter part of June, for the upcoming grant cycle which runs July 1,2009 through June 30, 2010. When the agreement is received in late June 2009, a budget amendment will be prepared to reflect the actual allocation. The total anticipated grant amount of $72,571 is funded from the State of Florida grants and aids appropriation. Of the total grant award, $6,191 will require a budget amendment to recognize the direct funding portion to the County for case management. The remaining $66,380 will be retained by the grantor agency to pay for direct services authorized by Collier County Services for Seniors. FISCAL IMPACT: FY09 budget in Services for Seniors fund (123) will increase by $6,191. The remaining $66,380 will be retained by the grantor agency for direct service provision and therefore does not affect the County budget. This grant requires no local matching funds. GROWTH MANAGEMENT: There is no growth management impact from this recommendation. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's Office. This item is not quasi judicial, and as such ex parte disclosure is not required. This item requires majority vote only. This item is legally sufficient for Board action.- CMG RECOMMENDA TIONS: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the necessary budget amendment to ensure uninterrupted services to elderly clients and authorize eligible expenditures prior to the execution of the agreement. -- Prepared by: Terri Daniels, Accounting Supervisor, Housing and Human Services Department Page 1 of 1 Agenda Item No. 16015 June 9,2009 Page 2 of 2 COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Item Number: 16015 Item Summary: Recommendation to approve a budget amendment in the amount of $6,191 to ensure continuous funding of the Home Care for the Elderly grant for the Services for Seniors program from the Area Agency on Aging and authorize eligible expenditures prior to the execution of the agreement.
