Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND:
The County’s Area Agency on Aging (AAA) is responsible for the administration of older adult programs for El Dorado County residents that are 60 years of age and older. Within El Dorado County, HHSA’s Community Services Division (CSD) is designated by the Board to administer the local AAA. AAA is responsible for developing El Dorado County’s Area Plan on Aging (“Area Plan”), a plan that AAA is required to submit to CDA, identifying its goals for service delivery that reflect the priorities of the Older Americans Act.
On June 25, 2021, the Board accepted and approved CDA’s AAA ARPA funding Agreement AP-2122-29 (Legistar file 21-0669). Following, the Board authorized HHSA to execute amendments one through four to the ARPA Funding Agreement, which updated various contract exhibits, budget items, and extended the original expiration date of the Agreement from September 30, 2024, through September 30, 2025 (Legistar files 22-0695, 23-0829, and 24-0407). The ARPA funding expanded HHSA’s Senior Nutrition and Transportation/Assisted Transportation Programs outlined in the existing Area Plan, with the most recent Area Plan approved by the Board on July 30, 2024 (Legistar file 24-1091).
