AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent Agenda SUBJECT: Aging -Approval of Title V (ARRA) Grant Funds, Associated Budget Amendment - $82,973, Contract and the Addition of Eight (8) Temporary Part-time Positions for the Title V SCSEP Program BRIEF SUMMARY: The following budget amendment represents supplemental funding for the Cabarrus County Department of Aging Title V -Senior Community Service Employment Program. This contract represents $74,676 of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds to be received from Centralina Council of Governments, $8,297 additional cash match required from the County, and will underwrite the expenses associated with eight new part-time positions. To implement this expansion of the Title V Program and to comply with the federal regulations associated with the Recovery Act funds, we must manage the expenses associated with this portion of the program independently from the current program. The Department of Aging currently has thirty positions allocated for the Title V program. The County absorbs five overflow positions.There is a reduction of three positions in this program for FY2010 under the current Title V program contract from the State. Due to the reduction from State of three Title V positions, we respectfully request the approval of five additional part-time Title V positions (22 positions for the current Title V (SCSEP) program, 8 positions for the Title V Recovery Act (ARRA) program and 5 positions to allow for over enrollment into the Title V program). This will allow the Department of Aging to maximize the funding for these two programs. There will be a total of 35 part-time positions funded by these Title V grant funds.
