information and referral services to the South Bay area during
fiscal year 1987-88
SUBMITTED BY: Director of P r s an Recreation
REVIEWED BY: City Manage (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
The South Bay Information and Referral Center is a senior information and
referral program that serves senior citizens by linking them with needed
social and human care services.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council authorize Mayor to execute Agreement between
the City and County for funds to operate the South Bay Senior Information and
Referral Center.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Human Relations Commission and the
Commission on Aging have reviewed this proposal and recommend approval .
DISCUSSION:
The City of Chula Vista has operated the South Bay Senior Information and
Referral Center for the past nine years. The County Area Agency on Aging,
Triple "A" is pleased with the services provided and has proposed that the
existing Agreement to operate the Center be extended for another year
beginning July 1 , 1987 (see attached).
During the 1986-87 fiscal year, the center operated on a budget of $58,937.
This amount consisted of a City Council appropriation of $31 ,000 from
Community Development Block Grant funds and a Triple "A" grant of $27,937.
In light of pending reductions of Older American Act funds due to Gramm-
Rudman-Hollings legislation, the Triple "A" will reduce funding for
Information and Referral contracts by 25% in FY 87-88 and 50% in FY 88-89. It
is also anticipated that all funding for Information and Referral will be
eliminated in FY 89-90. Because of these dramatic reductions, the Director of
the Triple "A" is encouraging everyone to begin seeking other funding sources
for the future.
The City's contribution has steadily increased each year for the operation of
the Senior Information and Referral Center. Initially, the City's operating
cost was 33%; however, inflation and a reduction of Triple "A" grant monies
