MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT 3 /C� /S'O TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: John Hartnett, Recreation Superintendent DATE: December 6, 2002 (CC Meeting of December 18, 2002) SUBJECT: Consider Adoption of Resolution Amending the FY 02/03 Budget by Appropriating OAA Grant Funds for Senior Center Lifeline Devices SUMMARY The City was awarded $6,700 in Older Americans Act (OAA) grant funds from the Ventura County Area Agency on Aging for Lifeline devices. The City Council is being asked to adopt the attached Resolution, amending the FY 02/03 budget to formally appropriate $6,700 in funds. DISCUSSION As you will recall, earlier this year the City Council authorized the City to apply for OAA grant funds in the amount of $6,700 from the Area Agency on Aging for the purchase of Lifeline devices. The $6,700 in grant funds have now been received and deposited to the General Fund. We are asking the City Council to amend the FY 2002/03 budget, by allocating the $6,700 in funds to the Senior Center Division expenditure account. The Lifeline devices have been purchased, with four already installed and the remainder placed in storage until needed. The City's Moorpark Senior Center has participated in the Lifeline Program since July 1991, providing public information, intake, applications and devices to frail, low - income senior citizens that are homebound. The City has partnered with Simi Valley Hospital to provide volunteers, equipment and support for at -risk elders. A senior activates the Lifeline device by 001911 Honorable City Council December 18, 2002 Page 2 pressing a button. When activated, the device places a call to the Hospital's emergency room and a designated person responds to the call. By linking participating seniors to the Lifeline Program, residents achieve a greater sense of security, knowing they can immediately call for assistance if they experience an emergency while continuing to live independently at home. The senior population continues to grow, increasing requests to participate in the Lifeline Program. Demand for devices has risen over the past year. The addition of ten new devices brings the City's total inventory to 25 and will have a very positive effect on Moorpark's Lifeline Program.
