RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF ASSEMBLY BILL 1 (BERG) REGARDING FUNDING FOR AREA AGENCIES ON AGING |
______________________________________________________________ |
RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Mateo, State of California, that |
|
WHEREAS, during years when the state budget is not enacted by July 1st, funding for area agencies on aging is halted putting local home- and community-based programs at risk for disruption or delay; and |
|
WHEREAS, San Mateo County may be required to advance approximately $275,000 per month for County area agency on aging activities, if the 2003-2004 State Budget is not passed on time; and |
|
WHEREAS, AB 1 (Berg) would mitigate the risk of a temporary delay in funding and avoid local service disruption in the event the State is unable to adopt a budget by the June 30th deadline; and |
|
WHEREAS, support of AB 1 (Berg) furthers the County's Visioning 2010 commitment to ensure basic health and safety for all and supports Visioning Goal #8 to help vulnerable people-the aged, disabled, mentally ill, at-risk youth and others-achieve a better quality of life; |
|
NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND ORDERED that the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors by the adoption of this resolution hereby supports Assembly Bill 1 (Berg) regarding funding for area agencies on aging. |
