Reduction and the 10 states all the states were hit by it. But the 10 states with growth actually took a kind of double hit because we had to hold harmless the states who have had no growth or low growth. So they had a floor at which their budgets couldnt go underneath and that meant 10 states had to take a little bit more of a dive. This compromise means that the slow growth states will be giving up 1 percent of their budget each year for the next 3 years and then everything will be stabilized at that point and the 10 states, which california is one of, will be receiving additional funds over that time. Having looked at the spreadsheets its under a Million Dollars at its height so, you know, spread across california is it necessarily going to mean a lot of money for us in San Francisco. I think the good news is its good to finally see a resolution to this and congress is moving forward. So you will be sending out another announcement when it finally hits the full senate and then on to
Preparation situation is, are they getting it through a caterer because not all the centers have their own kitchen. Like project open hand has their own central kitchen and when they have a much higher volume of meals those costs generally are lower too so the size of the operation, all those things take into consideration. And, you know, we do have a cap that we kind of look at, at what point will we, you know, not sort of cap, basically. So when you look at the, even with the costs that we have recommended it still doesnt cover 100 percent of all the operates costs for the meal provider. All of them do fund raising. All of them actually they require a suggested meal donation and some of the seniors cant donate. So when the projection is lower than projected that means they have to fill in with Additional Fund raising. Of course costs have gone up and with the the city has given all the providers some costs of doing business, a small percentage of 1. 5 percent, even that doesnt cover
Seniors cant donate. So when the projection is lower than projected that means they have to fill in with Additional Fund raising. Of course costs have gone up and with the the city has given all the providers some costs of doing business, a small percentage of 1. 5 percent, even that doesnt cover all the increases. Food costs has gone up quite a bit in the past year. So it is challenging but, you know, they are doing, they are very committed. Were really fortunate to have committed Service Providers and they are able to provide a service because they also use volunteers. A lot of the volunteers are trained, theyve been there for years, able to provide the service and keeping the costs down that way. Thank you. Uhhuh. Okay any other question . Hearing none i will call for the vote. All in favor of approval of project open hand say aye. Opposes . Ayes have it and so the motion is carried. Q, requesting authorization to modify the Grant Agreement with the institute on aging for the provis
The Program Progress then we look at it. But that would be my concern. I would look at this as a beginning of what i hope would be a very fruitful relationship between the two bodies. I do work at daas as well as muni so try to help out. The paratransit and transportation of the disabled is a very big issue and i think it probably is the one we need to look at next to see how we can do it and then talk to folks about the Adult Day Health care centers, how long people are in the centers, more than two hours. By state law its supposed to be an hour, hour and a half at the most. Thats very hard to people. I would be very eager, my fellow commissioners and staff, to look at ways we can better serve the people you serve and we all serve. First off, emmett and tom, thank you for taking the time to come in. I want to say both as a member of the commission and part of an organization that serves so many aging adults and people with disabilities, i think its an innovative and truly wonderful id
Service program say aye. The motion carries. U, requesting authorization to enter into a new Grant Agreement with San Francisco Marin Food Bank for the provision of homedelivered groceries for the period of july 1, 2014 through june 30, 2016 in a total grant amount not to exceed 625,959. Could i have a motion to discuss . Second. Okay we are on. Okay, so with this San Francisco Marin Food Bank this is a new contract to provide homedelivered groceries. They will be working with many nonprofit organizations in the community including their existing Food Pantry Network partners where they can identify volunteers, get them trained to be able to do the delivery of these grocery bags to the participants who are eligible for this program. And this funding basically covers a lot of the operating costs, you know, they dont get all the food for free, they have to purchase some of them. Some of the staffing costs, startup costs, theres a little bit of equipment there to expand in order to accommo
