Dear Mr. Valdez,
This is to advise you that the Weld County Board of Commissioners
has reviewed the criteria for Planning and Service Area designation
for the operation of the Older American's Act Programs. We support
the continued designation of Weld County as a Planning and Service
Area in this regard.
The geographic area to be served will continue to be Weld County,
Colorado whose 1986 projected population is 140,280 individuals.
The Board assures that it is able to meet the financial matching
responsibilities of a 25% cash match for administrative funds and a
10% in-kind match on service funds.
The Board also assures that it has the administrative capability
to carry out the responsibilities of an Area Agency on Aging as de-
fined in the Older Americans Act and the Volume 10 State Manual .
The Board has assigned administrative responsibilities for the Area
Agency on Aging to the Division of Human Resources which, as an um-
brella agency, has centralized administrative functions that are in-
tegrated with the county's Fiscal , Personnel , Purchasing, and Contracts
policies and procedures. The Division of Human Resources has
over ten years of exemplary experience managing a variety of human
service programs and is without audit exceptions.
The Weld Area Agency on Aging has made significant progress in the
past five years to develop a highly visible and well coordinated
system of services for Weld County' s elderly. Our experience as a
Planning and Service Area for aging services has been positive and
the Board is looking forward to continued close involvement with the
Older Americans Act Programs.
Sincerely yours,
