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

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.
