RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2022/203 to approve and authorize the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute revenue contract amendment #3 (AP-2122-07-3) with the California Department of Aging (CDA) to increase the payment limit by $4,024,016 to a new payment limit of $10,502,931 and to extend the term of the contract by two (2) years and three (3) months to September 30, 2024, for the provision of enhanced health, legal and social services for older residents and family caregivers in the County.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Amendment #3 increases the total amount of the Agreement with the California Department of Aging (CDA) by $4,024,016 for a new total Agreement of $10,502,931. Amendment #3 funding is 100% federal and consists of $213,451 one-time-only funds expiring on June 30, 2022 and $3,810,565 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds that must be expended by September 30, 2024. Appropriation adjustment to increase revenue and expenditures will be recommended to your Board in FY 21-22.

BACKGROUND:

The Employment and Human Services Department, Area Agency on Aging (AAA), provides services to County residents sixty (60) years and older, as defined by Title IIIB, Title IIIC, Title IIID, Title IIIE, and Title VII of the Older Americans Act. Services include, but are not limited to, supportive services, ombudsman services, congregate and home-delivered meals, disease prevention, family caregiver support, legal assistance, and elder abuse prevention.

The additional funding will provide enhanced health, legal, and social services for older residents and family caregivers.

The revenue contract was authorized by the Board of Supervisors at their May 11, 2021 meeting (C.39). Amendment #1 was approved by the Board of Supervisors at their November 23, 2021 meeting (C.19). Amendment #2 was approved by the Board of Supervisors at their December 7, 2021 meeting (C.49).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without funding, the needs of older residents and family caregivers for health, legal, and social service supports could not be provided. The additional one-time only and ARPA funding allow enhanced health, legal and social services for older residents and family caregivers to clients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
