Title
Resolution: Approving the Service Contract Between the Town of Castle Rock and the Castle Rock Senior Center
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
Each year, the Town Council reviews requests from service organizations for funding their operations and/or community events and services.
The Castle Rock Senior Center requested funding from the Town to provide programs and activities, transportation and health and wellness services for seniors.
The amount of the request is $120,000, which is included in the 2016 Budget. Actual administration of the contract will occur as per Council approval.
Discussion
The Senior Center offers educational, social, health and recreational programs; a transportation program for seniors and adults with disabilities; and meal programs.
The requested $120,000 Town contribution would represent about 28 percent of the Senior Center’s projected revenues for 2016. Grants, fundraising, activity income and membership fees represent other significant revenue sources. In 2014, the center’s 450 volunteers donated 30,000 hours in service to the center.
Financial Impact
Funding would be split between the Transportation Fund ($50,000) and the Philip S. Miller Trust Fund ($70,000), which was established to provide financial support for sense-of-community projects and services.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council review the Senior Center’s request and determine the funding and service levels for the annual contract.
