Background:

The Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging of the Recreation and Parks Department was awarded federal and state grants from the Ohio Department of Aging for the continuation of services to older adults in the Central Ohio area including Delaware, Fairfield, Fayette, Franklin, Licking, Madision, Pickaway and Union Counties.

Emergency action is requested in order to have the contract in place by January, 2005 as stipulated in the grant requirements, so there is no interruption of services to older adults.

Fiscal Impact:

$5,631,000.00 is required and budgeted from the Recreation and Parks Grant Fund to meet the financial obligation of these contracts.
