Body
Information Contact: Damon Scott, Director, Human Services Department
Phone Number: (404) 687-2385
PURPOSE:
To consider the transfer of $850,000 from the General Fund Account Number 07530-611250-100 to the Grant Fund; Cost Center 67530-Senior Citizens Services- project/award combination 100453/602152.
NEED/IMPACT:
In the County’s 2020 Adopted Budget, $850,000 was approved for the delivery of services to seniors living in DeKalb. This amount will be added to the $2,100,586.28 of federal and state funds that the County will receive from the Atlanta Regional Commission to provide aging services for the county. The transfer of $850,000 from the General Fund to the Grant Fund will prevent the delay in payment for these services to subcontractors. The Department requests that the amount approved in the General Fund for senior services be transferred to the grant fund/award 100453/6002152. It should be noted that three positions are paid from these funds: Information & Referral Specialist, Fiscal Assistant, and Human Services Administrator.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no cost to the County as this action only transfers already appropriated funds.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Action
To transfer $850,000 from the General Fund account number 07530-611250-100 to the Grant Fund, Cost Center 67530 Senior Citizens Services- project/award combination 100453/6002152; authorize the Chief Executive Officer to execute all necessary documents; authorize disbursements under the terms of the grant agreement; and authorize the Finance Department to issue payments to subcontractors using the transferred funds.
