SUBJECT:
Resolution Of The City Council Of The City Of Emeryville Authorizing Application For, And Receipt Of, Up To $136,000 In Grant Funds From 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 The Funds To Account Number 5460-51100 Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council of the City of Emeryville adopt the attached resolution and authorize the application for, and receipt of, up to $136,000 in grant funds from Alameda County Area Agency on Aging (AAA) for senior center activities and authorize the City Manager to execute funding agreements through June 30, 2026, with the Alameda County Area Agency on Aging and to appropriate said funds to account number 5460-51100.
Background
Staff submitted 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 FY22/23. 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 was for $25,000 per year for four years, the actual amount awarded depends on funding that the County receives. In FY 22/23, the contract amount was initially $25,000, then amended for an additional $12,000. Staff anticipates that this amount will increase slightly each year through FY25/26, but in no event will the total funding exceed $136,000. The revenue from these funds is identified in the FY23/24 budget for $25,000 and will help the Emeryville Senior Center maintain the planned level of service and programs for the community. Adjustments will be made at the end of each fiscal year.
