SUBJECT:
Resolution Of The City Council Of The City Of Emeryville Authorizing Application For, And Receipt Of, Alameda County Area Agency On Aging Supportive Services Program For Senior Center Activities And Authorizing The City Manager To Execute Funding Agreements Through June 30, 2026, With The Alameda County Area Agency On Aging And To Appropriate Any Such Funds To Account Number 5460-51100 Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council of the City of Emeryville adopt the above-entitled resolution and authorizing the application for, and receipt of, Alameda County Area Agency on Aging (AAA) program funds for senior center activities and authorizing the City Manager to execute funding agreements through June 30, 2026, with the Alameda County Area Agency on Aging and to appropriate any such funds to account number 5460-51100.
Background
Staff will submit a grant application to AAA for the Supportive Services Programs (#SS-2022) in response to an RFP to award funding for Senior Center Activities in the amount of $25,000 for Fiscal Year (FY) 22/23. The award is renewable for three additional years, through June 30, 2026. In previous years, this funding was awarded to the City of Emeryville without a competitive process, but that changed in FY18/19. The AAA funding will be used to provide enrichment programs, education presentations, outings and technology classes. There are currently over 1,500 seniors from Emeryville and throughout nearby Northern Alameda County cities who are members of the Emeryville Senior Center.
Fiscal Impact
While the grant is for $25,000 per year for four years, the actual amount awarded depends on funding that the County receives. In FY 21/22, the contract amount was initially $25,000, then amended for an additional $3,350. Staff anticipates that this amount will increase slightly each year through FY25/26. The revenue from these funds is identified in the FY21/22 budget and will help the Emeryville Senior Center maintain the planned level of service and programs for the community.
Staff Communication with the Public
The Emeryville Commission on Aging is expected to recommend approval of this resolution at their regular meeting on February 9, 2022.
