FINANCIAL IMPACT
This item does not impact Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). Area Plan (AP) General Nutrition Augmentation Program services in the total amount of $807,492 are 100% State allocated from the California Department of Aging (CDA). Sufficient appropriation and revenue have been included in the Department of Aging and Adult Services’ (DAAS) 2019-20 budget and will be included in the 2020-21 recommended budget.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The recommended amendment extends the contract term for the State funded Nutrition Augmentation program an additional year, through June 30, 2021. This extension allows for the State funded General Nutrition Augmentation funds in the increased amount of $807,492 approved February 11, 2020 (Item No. 4), to be expended over the additional year term. These funds alone may be expended and reimbursed until June 30, 2021. All other contract funds must be expended, reimbursed, and reported pursuant to the original terms, conditions, and dates in the original State revenue agreement.
The Federal Older Americans Act (OAA) 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 AP services.
AP services assist approximately 90,000 eligible clients annually. Services include congregate and home delivered meals, information and assistance, legal assistance, supportive services, personal care, assisted transportation and bus passes, family caregiver support, disease prevention, health promotion and Long-Term Care Ombudsman services, including elder abuse prevention programs.
On July 9, 2019 (Item No. 5), the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved County Revenue Contract No. 19-457 (State Revenue Agreement No. AP-1920-20) in the amount of $7,536,830, to provide AP services, for the period of July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020. In addition, this item adopted a resolution 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. AP-1920-20, on behalf of the County, subject to review by County Counsel.
On November 5, 2019 (Item No. 5), the Board approved Amendment No. 1 to the contract, increasing the total contract amount by $234,241, from $7,536,830 to $7,771,071, with no change to the contract period.
