AGENDA REPORT �.
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Mary Lindley, Parks, Recreation and Community Services
Director
PREPARED BY: Peggy Rothschild, Active Adult Center Supervisor
DATE: April 24, 2006 (CC Meeting of May 3, 2006)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Amending the FY 05/06 Budget by
Appropriating General Funds for the Lifeline to Safety Program
(Older Americans Act Title III -E Lifeline to Safety Program
Contract Grant)
SUMMARY
The City has been awarded $6,505.00 in one - time -only Older Americans Act Title III -E
One - Time -Only Contract Grant Funds from the Ventura County Area Agency on Aging
( VCAAA). The City Council is being asked to adopt a resolution (Attachment A),
amending the FY 05/06 budget to formally appropriate an additional $6,505.00 in funds.
The funds are to be used to fund the Lifeline to Safety Program for the older adults
through the Moorpark Active Adult Center.
DISCUSSION
At the April 5, 2006 City Council meeting, the Council authorized the City to apply for
OAA grant from VCAAA in response to their request for proposal for programs which
support for caregivers by providing safety programs to their loved ones. On April 12,
2006, the VCAAA voted to grant the City of Moorpark a one - time -only award of
$6,505.00 for the Lifeline to Safety Program. Funds will be used to purchase six (6)
additional Lifeline units and nine (9) replacement pendants /alarm buttons, plus forty -
three (48) disaster preparedness kits for distribution to Lifeline Program participants.
The City of Moorpark Active Adult Center has participated in the Lifeline Program since
July 1991, providing public information, intake, applications and devices to frail, low -
income older adults. The City has partnered with Simi Valley Hospital to provide

volunteers, equipment and support for at -risk elders. A subscriber 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 frail seniors
to the Lifeline Program, residents and their caregivers achieve a greater sense of
security, knowing that the senior can immediately call for assistance if they experience
an emergency while continuing to live independently at home. Lifeline devices are
loaned free of charge to frail seniors with medical disabilities who live alone or are alone
for significant periods each day.
The second component of the Lifeline to Safety Program is to provide one - person
disaster preparedness kits to Lifeline program participants. According to the
Administration on Aging, the elderly population is particularly vulnerable to the effects of
disasters. In the event of a disaster, people may be on their own and without services
for up to 72 hours. Providing a three -day emergency supply of food and water, a
blanket, radio and light stick in a portable carrying case can be a life saver for the senior
and for the caregiver who will have peace of mind knowing their loved one has a
disaster preparedness kit.
