FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item does not impact Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost) as the Resolution is non-financial and required by the California Department of Aging (CDA) to provide a list of the authorized signers specific to the previously Board of Supervisors (Board) Revenue Contract No. 20-180 (State Revenue Agreement No. FP-1920-20), in the amount of $143,750 for Dignity At Home Fall Prevention Program services, for the period of February 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021. The revenue is 100% State allocated from CDA. Adequate appropriation and revenue have been included in the Department of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS) 2019-20 and 2020-21 budgets.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Dignity At Home Fall Prevention Program provides grants to Area Agencies on Aging to provide fall and injury prevention information, education, referral services, equipment, assessments, services, materials and labor costs to the eligible service population. The eligible service population are individuals at risk of falling or institutionalization who are sixty years of age or older or have disabilities, and whose adjusted household income does not exceed eighty percent of the area median income.
The Federal Older Americans Act promotes the welfare and dignity of older adults by providing valuable services in order to enable older adults to be independent, remain in their communities, and assist them to be engaged citizens. In 1976, the State of California designated the County of San Bernardino as an Area Agency on Aging. As a result of this designation, DAAS receives funding to administer adult protective services.
On April 7, 2020 (Item No. 4), the Board approved Revenue Contract No. 20-180 (State Revenue Agreement No. FP-1920-20), in the amount of $143,750 for Dignity At Home Fall Prevention Program services, for the period of February 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021. After approval of this item, it was discovered that the item did not include the necessary Recommendation to adopt a Resolution, as required by CDA, authorizing the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, or the DAAS Director to execute all documents, including any subsequent non-substantive amendments, in relation to State Revenue Agreement No. FP-1920-20, on behalf of the County, subject to review by County Counsel. CDA was contacted at that time and DAAS was instructed to provide the Board approved and fully executed revenue agreement.
On June 16, 2020, DAAS received notification that a Resolution for Revenue Contract No. 20-180 (State Revenue Agreement No. FP-1920-20) would need to be submitted as it is required of all public entities. Approval of this item will correct the oversight made on Item No. 4 on April 7, 2020 and allow DAAS to provide the necessary Resolution document to CDA. This item is being presented at this time, as this is the first date available following the notification. Approval by the Board on this date will have no impact on DAAS’ services or activities.
