Meeting Date: 28 October 1992 <br /> Agenda Item: P -3 <br /> CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS <br /> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION <br /> ITEM DESCRIPTION: Request for a contribution to the Roseville <br /> Area Senior Program <br /> SUBMITTED BY: Lynnae LeBarron, Executive Director <br /> North Suburban Senior Council, Inc. <br /> REVIEWED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator <br /> EXPLANATION /SUMMARY: <br /> Description <br /> The senior program provides community -based services to residents <br /> in the school district, extensive educational programming as well <br /> as social and recreational activities (see attachment A). <br /> The organization is approaching cities in the Roseville School <br /> District for $35,000 of the program costs. Staff calculated this <br /> to be 12% of the total senior program funding base of $302.175. <br /> Criteria <br /> 1. The project is intergovernmental with funding from the <br /> school district and county. The number of commitments from <br /> other cities is not available at this time. <br /> 2. The organization is requesting $3,255 from Falcon Heights <br /> based upon $3.50 x 930 the number of people over 60 years of <br /> age in the city. <br /> The organization estimates that 260 people are served by the <br /> organization. If a donation is based upon the actual <br /> service provided it would be 260 persons X $3.50 $910. <br /> The letter states that the full cost of the service to <br /> Falcon Heights would be at least twice $3,255 or $6,560. <br /> However, it appears that the organization is looking for <br /> 12 not 100 of its funding base from outside its regular <br /> resources. 12% of the full cost of $6,560 would be $787. <br /> (This will be clarified with Ms. LeBarron). <br /> 3. This is an on -going program. <br /> 4. The city cannot do this independently. <br /> 5. It meets the general health, safety and welfare requirements <br /> of the state statute. <br /> Other comments: <br /> 1. No alternative types of service have been discussed as of <br /> this writing. <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: Discuss and respond to request for fu i <br />
