SUBJECT: Area Agency on Aging 1998 Final Budget
Enclosed for Board approval is the FY 1998 Older Americans Act budget for the Area
Agency on Aging. The Area Agency budget is finalized after the first quarter of the year when actual
funding levels are known.
The FY 1998 budget totals $387,135 in federal and state matching monies which includes
funding for administration, congregate and home delivered meals programs, in home care services,
respite care and preventive health and elder abuse services.
Using carry-forward monies from 1997, the Area Agency on Aging proposes to increase
funding for the Meals on Wheels Program by $4000. New monies will remain undesignated until
the final results of the Area Agency on Aging Needs Survey can be analyzed to determine what
services are most needed.

Statement/Justification for the transfer:
Weld County Area Agency on Aging request the transfer of$19,302 out of C - 1 to
C-2 and and$20,134 out of C - 1 to B Services. The B Services cover a number of various
services to Weld County's elderly population. Because of the size and variety of services given
in this category, Weld County Area Agency on Aging needs to supply this section with more
funding in order to maintain our current level of service. We feel this will not hinder services to
any of the C components, which continue to have a higher amount of program income from
clients.
A summary of public meeting comments with regard to the transfer of funds is included in
Attachment Number 1.
The maximum allowable amount that can be transferred statewide in FY1998:
* Not more than 30% between Part C - 1 and Part C - 2
* Not more than 25%between Part B and Part C

3. Commission on Aging: Betty Jones, Fourth Congressional District appointee by the Governor to the Colorado
Commission on Aging was introduced. Betty explained that her principal work on the Commission is to follow state
and federal legislation. The Commission has been particularly involved with the Old Age Penion Program. The
Commission has held hearings state-wide to obtain citizen input on the OAP Program and has been providing testimony
to the legislature. The Commission is concerned about the approximately 6000 persons who might be affected if
changes were made in the OAP-B Section of the program. Betty provided written materials for the board on Social
Security, the workings of the Commission, and OAP. Betty's term will be up in two years and Linda urged the
members to be thinking about future applicants. Betty Jones is from Greeley.
4. Needs Assessment Update: The survey calls are completed and the return on the mailed surveys is about 35%.
Reminder cards have been mailed to remind recipients of the mailed survey to return it to UNC. Dr. Robbyn Wacker
expects preliminary data to be ready in a couple of weeks.
5. Older Americans Month Breakfast: Location is confirmed for Evans Community Complex, a food vendor is
confirmed with a menu of Quiche,fruit,muffins,bacon,juices,and coffee. Invitations were distributed to the members
and Linda asked that members have their names of persons to be recognized into her during the week of April 20th.
6. AAA Program Report: As an informational item Linda distributed blank copies of the new report to be generated
from the National Aging Program Information System that the office has been working to bring on line. It is hoped
that an accurate report can be made available to the board by June reflecting program data for the first quarter of 1998.
7. Board Member Reports: Judy Yamaguchi helped clarify with the members the intention of the "Board Member
Reports"agenda item usually found on each monthly agenda. This item is intended to give an opportunity for any
member who is associated with another board,committee,organization,event to report information to the board that
would be of interest to any issue related to older adults. Any board member who has pertinent information for the
board can report at this time. It does not mean that the member represents the Weld County Area Agency on Aging
with the other organization they are involved with. Member reports were as follows:
Mary Ellen Faules: Reported that the State Medical Services Board will be hearing a presentation from Maximus,
the organization that has been designated to handle the Medicaid managed care enrollment.
Don Feldhaus:Reported on a meeting he attended called Building a Better Future:An Exercies in Hard Choices. The
intent of the meeting which was attended by 450 persons was to provide a forum for a dialogue around hard choices
that will need to be made around the future level of federal budget in social programs-particularly Social Security and
Medicaid. An interesting fact that Don reported is that the Federal Government represents 19%of the Gross National
Product of the United States. This translates to 1% equaling 80 billion dollars! Former Governor Lamm, former
Senator Hank Brown, and other well know policy makers were leading the conference. Small groups debated the
issues. Social Security and Medicare were big discussion items at the conference which was televised on NBC. Don
980695
reported that about 60% of the attendees were 60 plus older adults.
Don Beierbach: Pointed out to note the Swing Into Spring brochure in their folders. He said he attended this even
last year and gained a lot of information from the workshop.
Mary Jones:Reported on a workshop that is being offered by Poudre Valley Hospital during April on Long Distance
Caregiving.
8. Older Americans Act Reauthorization Letter: Linda asked for board approval for Chairperson, Judy Yamaguchi
to sign letters to Senators Campbell and Allard and Representative Schaffer. The letters are requesting support from
our representatives for reauthorization of the Older Americans Act which has been left unauthorized for almost three
years. It was moved by Priscilla Kimboko and seconded by Don Feldhaus to approve of the letters. Motion passed.
9. Budget Revision: Linda explained the budget line items that comprise the report form to be submitted to the State
Aging Division by April 25th. Specific approval was requested from the board to transfer$39,486 from the Congregate
(Part C1) program. Of this $20,134 would be transfered to Part B for Support Services and $19,302 would be
transfered into the Home Delivered Meals Program (Part C2). Mary Fox questioned whether the transfer would be
disadvantageous to the Congregate Meals Program. She hears concerns from the Senior Coordinators and from other
seniors about the transfer of funds when there are more and more people using the program and communities who still
need the program. Linda explained that in developing the budget the goal is to juggle between all the interests and
hopefully either maintain or let programs grow. However,this is a legitimate concern with limited funds.
The budget as presented included$28,327 of flexible undetermined funds from Part B,$4,506 of undetermined funds
from Part D and $7,866 of undertermined funds from Part F. The board did not feel comfortable with Linda's
suggested to utilize some of the Part D monies to bring Eldergarden up to a base funding level of$20,000.
It was also noted by the board that figures on the last summary budget summary page did not match with the other
budget sheets.
It was moved by Priscilla Kimboko and seconded by Mary Easton to approved the aggregate transfer of funds and to
leave the additional funds in Parts B,D and F as undertermined until such time that the board can evaluate the needs
assessment data and that budget exhibits would be reviewed for accuracy.
10. Adjourn: The meeting was adjourned at 11:00 a.m.
