Explanation
Background: This ordinance will enable the Director of Recreation and Parks to accept a grant in the amount of $11,129.00 from the Franklin County Board of Commissioners (dba: Franklin County Senior Options) for funding to support the 2008 50+ Fitness program. The Senior Fitness Project aims to improve the quality of life for seniors by improving their overall physical condition with a focus on fall prevention. This project offers exercise classes and fitness room training that is designed (through equipment and instruction) for the senior population with the goal of increasing functional fitness, which will allow them to remain as independent as possible. This grant will be used to continue the 50+ Fitness programs at the various Multigenerational Adult Program (MAP) Centers during 2008.
A 10% match in the amount of $1,129.00 is required from the Recreation and Parks Department and will come from the Senior Fitness Special Purpose Account.
