Explanation
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 is contingent upon passage of the appropriation Ordinance No. 1559-2007.

This legislation authorizes thirty-two 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, 2008 through December 31, 2008.

The service providers were selected from proposals submitted to the Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging in 2006, and these contracts represent the 3rd year of a 3-year proposal period. Approximately 40,000 individuals are expected to be served.

Emergency action is requested in order to have the contract in place by January, 2008 as stipulated in the grant requirements, so there is no interruption of services to older adults.

Fiscal Impact:
$5,750,000.00 is required and budgeted from the Recreation and Parks Grant Fund to meet the financial obligation of these contracts.

($5,750,000.00)
