FISCAL IMPACT
This item has no fiscal impact on the General Fund. The City received $78,695 in grant funding for senior programming and services for 2022-23. Approval of the Sixth Amendment to the 2020 contract with the County of Orange for grant annual awards to provide special programs for the aging, Title III, Part B, grants for supportive services and senior centers and community centers enables the City to accept the $78,695 FY 2022-23 grant award. The County of Orange allocates additional onetime grant awards from time to time each fiscal year. The second recommendation enables the City to accept and appropriate these extra grant awards in the current fiscal year.
DISCUSSION
The City has received Older Americans Act Title III-B funding to provide recreation, wellness and social service programs to the City’s older adults since the 1970s. The County of Orange Community Services Department Office on Aging administers the Title III-B Older Americans Act program.
The County and City entered into the current contract on July 1, 2020. The parties renewed the contract with annual amendments through June 30, 2022. The current amendment before City Council is the Sixth Amendment for a $78,695 Fiscal Year 2022-23 grant award. The cumulative contract amount awarded by the County to the City of Fullerton to provide ongoing programs for City’s older adults, including the Sixth Amendment, totals $272,378.
The City received $78,695 to provide programs and services engaging older adults in organized and enriching activities at the Fullerton Community Center for Fiscal Year 2022-23. The Office on Aging funding will provide programming to approximately 16,000 duplicated and unduplicated Orange County seniors in Fiscal Year 2022-23.
Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager, or designee, to sign all grant documents and accept and appropriate additional grant awards that result from excess funding made available from the granting agency for Fiscal Year 2022-23.
