DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
The Department of Health & Social Services recommends the Board of Supervisors receive an update on the Napa/Solano Area Agency on Aging; Consider adopting a resolution approving the second revenue contract amendment with the California Department of Aging for $492,316 for a total revenue contract amount of $3,325,945 to provide aging services for the period of March 3, 2020 through June 30, 2020; Consider authorizing the County Administrator to execute the second contract amendment; and Consider approval of an Appropriation Transfer Request (ATR) for the unanticipated revenues (4/5 vote required).
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION
The Napa/Solano Area Agency on Aging (N/S AAA) is responsible for distribution of funds received from the California Department of Aging (CDA) for Planning Service Area 28 (PSA 28) Older Americans Act services. The CDA has allocated an additional $492,316 in unanticipated revenues to N/S AAA for Federal Title IIIB Supportive Services, Ombudsman (Federal Title IIIB Ombudsman, Federal Title VIIA Ombudsman, SNF Quality & Accountability Ombudsman, Federal Title VII Elder Abuse Prevention), Federal Title IIIC1 Congregate Nutrition, Federal Title C2 Home-Delivered Meals, Federal Title IIID Disease Prevention, Federal Title IIIE Family Caregiver and Federal Title VII Elder Abuse Prevention services. These services provide meals, information and assistance, caregiver support, activities related to preventative health, and ombudsman services to seniors (60+) and the public.
The FY2019/20 revenue contract for $2,740,058 with the CDA was approved by the Board of Supervisors on May 7, 2019. The first revenue contract amendment for $93,571 and a revised contract total of $2,833,629 was approved by the Board of Supervisors on October 22, 2019. The recommended second revenue contract amendment reflects: a reallocation of unspent, one-time federal funds carried over from the State FY2018/19 to the State FY2019/20; funding from federal FY2019/20 supplemental and reallocation grants; and transfers between funding categories requested by N/S AAA for the July 1, 2019 through September 30, 2019 period and the October 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020 period. The transfer requests are based on the N/S AAA Area Plan Budget and include the State General Fund Nutrition augmentation.
All N/S AAA contracts with vendors contain language specific to the services being provided in accordance with CDA requirements, including service delivery, units of service, and unduplicated client totals. Data are reported monthly by vendors to N/S AAA. Results are provided to the N/S AAA Advisory Council, N/S AAA Oversight Board, and the Boards of Supervisors for both Napa and Solano Counties.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The costs associated with preparing this agenda item are nominal and are included in the department’s FY2019/20 Adopted Budget.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board can choose not to accept the additional CDA funds; this is not recommended as these funds are available to PSA28 to provide vital services to the community.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
Napa County staff was involved in the development of this agenda item.
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
