MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager �7. 0�•
FROM: Rachael S. Craig, Senior Center Director
DATE: April 11, 2017
SUBJECT: Ordinance Amending NTS Grant
This memo is to support the Award Amendment #607- 309 -1710 in the amount of $6,847.00 to
the 206 -2017 NTS Grant.
The Senior Center received an opportunity to apply for additional NTS funds for FY2017. We
focused the grant opportunity to increase funding for transportation. With reductions to the
Home and Community Based Waiver Programs and to the Independent Living Center's taxi
vouchers, our transportation figures have dramatically increased in FY2017. We have seen
growth in the following areas:
• 27.4% increase in rides in the first seven months of FY2017 vs FY2016.
• 9.68% increase in rides for the target age group of 85 +.
• In addition to our current two part-time 14 hour paid drivers, we have increased volunteer
driver support from 3 to 5 days per week.
This extra funding will be used for fuel, hand -held scanners to assist our drivers with routes,
counting rides, and additional expenses for maintenance fees for the scanners.
The money will be allocated to the following accounts:
019 - 474 -2022 $3,000.00
019 - 474 -2024 $2,700.00
019 - 474 -4538 $1.147.00
Total: $6,847.00
