CABARRUS COUNTY <br />~ ,~ -r~ <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />REGULAR MEETING <br />DECEMBER 15, 2008 <br />6:30 P.M. <br />AGENDA CATEGORY: <br />Consent Agenda <br />SUBJECT: <br />Aging - Reclassification of Current Part-Time Nutrition Site Supervisor, Grade <br />57, Position (No.5750402) to a Full-Time Senior Center Program <br />Coordinator, Grade 66 and Adoption of Related Budget Amendment <br />BRIEF SUMMARY: <br />Entering into a 20-year contract with the Town on Mt. Pleasant last year has <br />allowed the Department of Aging to expand the services provided to the Mt. <br />Pleasant community from a LunchPlus Club program to a full-time Senior <br />Center. Programming, as well as participation, has increased significantly, <br />and the demand for services is growing steadily. The Department of Aging is <br />currently covering these additional programs by pulling staff from their <br />regularly assigned duties to assist in Mt. Pleasant as needed. This position <br />will be equal to the programming position at the Concord Senior Center and <br />will assume responsibilities of programming all of the classes, programs <br />and/or events at the Mt. Pleasant Senior Center, as well as assisting with the <br />various satellite programs that take place throughout Cabarrus County <br />(LunchPlus Club, Arena & Event Center, schools, churches, etc.). This <br />request is to allow the Department of Aging to utilize existing Home and <br />Community Care Block Grant (HCCBG) -Senior Center Operations funds to <br />expand the current part-time position to the new classification of Senior <br />Center Program Coordinator. These HCCBG resources are recurring federal <br />funds provided each year through the Older Americans Act. They are <br />matched by state funds and a 10% local match that is already budgeted for <br />FY' 2009. This reclassification will require no additional funding from <br />Cabarrus County; it is an internal transfer within the existing departmental <br />budget. By providing a full time staff member and increasing <br />programs/classes at the Mt. Pleasant Senior Center, the Department of Aging <br />will also be eligible to apply for certification as a Center of Excellence and will <br />receive an annual increase in State Senior Center General Purpose fun e~# 6 <br />f t l $8 000 If th D t t f A bl t d <br />i~ <br /> <br />C <br />~I <br /> <br /> <br />7 <br />ii <br />C <br />7 <br /> <br /> <br />i] <br />C <br />o approxima e y a epar men o gang is una e o expan is <br />part-time position to a full-time position, the level of services currently offered page 76 of 185 <br />
