Resolution No. 2019 -36
This Memo is in reference to a deficit in the Title Ill Senior Citizen Fund for FY2019 and a
supplemental donation from the Kenai Senior Connection, Inc. Endowment Fund.
While our department has managed to reduce spending in various ways , our income has also
declined. The amount of rides, home and congregate meal donations is down considerably, as
well as funding for Medicaid meals. In addition, our United Way grant has disappeared altogether
as the local office has closed . Our FY2019 budget will close with a $50,000 deficit.
The Kenai Senior Connection , Inc. voted at its May 24, 2019 meeting to approve a donation of
$50,000 to the FY2019 Operation Budget from the Endowment Fund.
Thank you for your consideration.
