MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #96122
BY: Commissioners Shelley G. Taub, Nancy Dingeldey and Donna Huntoon
IN RE: HB 5586 (Support Sec.758 OF GENERAL GOVERNMENT APPROPRIATIONS SILL)
PRESERVATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE FUNDING FOR AREA AGENCIES ON AGING
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS under Federal law, Planning and Service Areas (PSA'S)
administer the Federal Older Americans Act and are areas which are defined by a
geographic boundary for the delivery of services to older individuals, and every
PSA is served by an administrative agency, Area Agency on Aging (AAA); and
WHEREAS under the Federal Older American's Act, Michigan's 14 PSA'S were
increased to 16, when AAA-Region 3, which included Barry, Calhoun, St. Joseph,
Branch and Kalamazoo Counties, divided into three distinct PSA's; and;
WHEREAS the increase in administrative costs of managing three PSA'S
instead of one will impact the funding distribution formula for every AAA in
Michigan; and
WHEREAS Sec. 758 of HB5586, states that:
(1) Funding shall not be reduced to any planning and service region due
to the establishment of the three area agencies on aging in the region 3
area where 1 had previously existed.
(2) The total administrative funds allocated in fiscal year 1996-97 to the
new area agencies on aging, being regions 3a,3b,and 3c, shall not exceed
the total administrative dollars received by the former region 3 unless
paid for by the counties.
(3)If additional funds become available for distribution to area agencies
on aging, the 3 area agencies on aging established in region 3 together
shall not receive additional funding due to the split, but shall receive
the same share as would the former region 3 under the intrastate funding
formula established by the office of services to the aging.
and;
WHEREAS, Oakland County's Area Agency on Aging, Region 1-B, which serves
over 400,000 senior citizens, should not have its funding reduced by another
region's decision to reapportion its service area.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
does hereby concur with the Sec. 758 of HB 5586, which protects the Planning &
Service Areas of the Area Agencies on Aging from negative financial impact
engendered by the expansion of the number of PSA'S within Michigan.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be forwarded to
Oakland County's Legislators, the Governor, the Area Agency on Aging, 1-B, the
Michigan Office of Services to the Aging, the Michigan Commission on Aging, the
Michigan Association of Counties, and to Oakland County's legislative agents.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
