Meeting Date: 11/25/92 Agenda Item: P -3 CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: Request for a contribution to >.the Roseville Area Senior Program SUBMITTED BY: Lynnae LeBarron, Executive Director North Suburban Senior Council, Inc. REVIEWED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator EXPLANATION /SUMMARY: Description The senior program provides community -based services to residents in the school district, extensive educational programming as well as social and recreational activities (see Attachment A). The organization is approaching cities in the Roseville School District for $35,000 of the program costs for services like Meals -on- Wheels and the blockworker program. Staff calculated this to be 12% of the total senior program funding base of $302,175. Criteria 1. The project is intergovernmental -with federal, school district and county funding. 2. The organization is requesting $3,255 from Falcon Heights based upon $3.50 x 930, the number of people over 60 years of age in the city. The organization estimates that 260 people are served by the organization. If a donation is based upon the actual service provided it would be 260 persons x $3.50 $910. The letter states that the full cost of the service to Falcon Heights would be at least twice $3,255 or $6,560. However, it appears that the organization is looking for 12 not 100 of its funding base from outside its regular resources.. 12% of the full cost of $6,560 would be $787. 3. This is an on -going program. 4. The city does not provide these services. 5. It meets the general health, safety and welfare requirements of the state statute. Other comments: 1. This is not a budgeted item. 2. The Falconeers provide recreation opportunities, not services. Those consulted are not users of the Roseville program. 3. The city donated $645 to the Lutheran Social Services Share -a -Home program.
