Board of Supervisors November 24, 2010 <br /> CONTINUATION OF SPONSORSHIP OF THE page 2 <br /> ANNUAL SENIOR AWARENESS DAY <br /> caregivers. Senior Awareness Day also celebrates the longevity of seniors and their importance as <br /> contributors to the well being, vitality, and prosperity of San Joaquin County. <br /> Senior Awareness Day could not be made possible without support from the community. Volunteers of <br /> all ages enthusiastically provide assistance by participating on the planning committee or by working the <br /> day of the event. Other County departments also support HSA in carrying out the event, including <br /> Health Care Services, the Sheriffs Office, Parks and Recreation, Environmental Health, Public Works, <br /> and Purchasing. Donations are also received from several private businesses, some of which require a <br /> donation agreement signed by the HSA Director affirming that funds or products will be used exclusively <br /> for Senior Awareness Day. <br /> The 33`d Annual Senior Awareness Day is planned for May 26, 2011 at Micke Grove Park. HSA <br /> believes that as a result of the event being supported by the Board of Supervisors, Senior Awareness Day <br /> advances the status of seniors. It has captured the attention and support of the community at large, <br /> escalated the awareness of seniors, and produced significant outcomes over the years. Additionally, the <br /> event has grown and offers more senior programs and services by private and public sectors, additional <br /> requests for senior representation on boards and commissions, and new senior employment opportunities. <br /> At this time, staff is requesting that the Board proclaim May 26, 2011 to be the 33rd Annual Senior <br /> Awareness Day. To support the event, staff is requesting the Board continue to exempt the event from <br /> Environmental Health, Facilities Management, and other County department fees, and authorize the HSA <br /> Director to approve all related expenses for the event. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT: <br /> Total Cost <br /> While costs vary slightly from year to year, the budget for this year is $26,475. The event is funded by <br /> the Older Americans Act, revenue from booth rentals, community organization donations, and other <br /> sources. <br /> Net County Cost <br /> There is a net County cost of$275 contained within the Aging and Community Services approved budget <br /> for 2010-11. In addition to this amount, the Parks and Recreation Department estimates that exempting <br /> the event from related fees for the use of Micke Grove Park will result in lost revenue of$3,000 in <br /> parking fees, $125 in small site rental fees, $1,200 in large site rental fees, $10 in processing fees, and <br /> $1,150 in site maintenance fees, for a total of$5,485. In addition, Environmental Health estimates that <br /> exempting the event from related fees for Special Event Food Risk Assessment/Permit Applications will <br /> result in lost revenue of$122. This will result in a combined total fees exemption of$5,607 for Parks <br /> and Recreation and Environmental Health. <br /> 1�RQ4 M.� <br /> Our Mission is to lead in the A a <br /> creation and delivery of services that improve <br /> ct.. <br /> the quality of life for our community. <br />
