BACKGROUND: Department on Aging (1) The Department on Aging received funds from the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) to purchase transportation management software. In the past, the department has leased scheduling software from a private vendor at a cost of $325 per month. The new software provides for improved scheduling of transportation routes. Total cost of the purchase is $9,580 with $9,452 reimbursed by NCDOT. Included in the current Equipment and Vehicle Capital Project budget is the required local match of $158. The attached Ordinance includes the additional funds expected from the State. (see page 4, of this abstract) (2) The Department on Aging has received $73,037 from the Home and Community Care Block Grant Supplemental Award passed by the General Assembly. These funds enable the department to purchase 6,500 hours of in-home aide service from a local provider, making it possible to serve an additional 30 persons. This leaves approximately 10 elderly citizens on the service waiting list. Available in the Eldercare budget for this Department is the required local match of 10% (see block #2, page 3).
