Financial Impact:
If the contribution is not made the Fund will operate at a deficit.
Background Information:
The Tehama County Healthy Connections Senior Nutrition Program respectfully requests $26,000 in an LATCF contribution to be used as match for one-time American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant funding.
In the Fiscal Year 2023/24 Recommended Budget process, Senior Nutrition requested a total of $26,000 from Local Agency and Tribal Consistency Fund (LATCF). This amount was included in the Senior Nutrition Adopted Budget; however, it was included in error. The agency was under the impression that the contribution from the LATCF funds was approved, and they expended funds anticipating the revenue. It was just recently identified as a mistake. As a result, the fund expended funds they did not have, resulting in negative cash flow.
At this time, the request is $26,000 based on actual and planned expenses. This match amount will enable Senior Nutrition to receive $157,765 in ARPA and Older Americans Act (OAA) funds, which will provide a total of 1,988 congregate and 4,734 home delivered meals in May and June 2024; 4,880 frozen meals for seniors on our wait list; and $26,974 to purchase an additional vehicle to be used for all delivery routes. The one-time ARPA grant expires in September 2024.
On 6/4/24, the Board heard the original request to have this covered by General Fund Contingency. At that time, the Board requested an item be brought back to have funds in the amount of $26,000 (the original request) transferred from LATCF.
