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, Madison, Pickaway and Union Counties.

This legislation authorizes thirty-four community services contracts for the provision of meals, adult day care, homemaker, personal care, transportation, home repair and legal services for the period January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004.

Fiscal Impact:
$5,491,734.00 is required and budgeted from the Recreation and Parks Grant Fund to meet the financial obligation of these contracts.
