Analysis
Parks, Arts and Recreation has worked with Dallas County and Dallas Area Agency on Aging for the past 31 years offering funding for a senior meal program and for senior transportation to the nutrition site. During the past years, staff has been working with the agencies to enhance and expand the program for our citizens, 60 years of age and older.
Financial Consideration
The program receives a partial reimbursement of costs from the Dallas Area Agency. Total funding amount for the senior meal program is $157,920 with an expected reimbursement of $97,290. The remaining funds come from program income, in-kind staff salaries and an approximate $9,583 required contribution from the City. Total funding amount for the transportation program is $58,990 with an anticipated reimbursement of $18,293. Remaining funds come from in-kind staff salaries and an approximate $2,052 required contribution from the City.
City is responsible for product, labor, operation and transportation cost upfront. However, the program is reimbursable through the Dallas Area on Aging at $3.75 per meal. Staff estimates serving 24,000 meals and providing 17,000 trips during FY2015/2016. Reimbursement will be processed through Congregate Meals Grand Fund (FY16 Grant) and Special Program for the Aging (FY16 Grant).
