Purpose

A resolution to accept additional funding from the Department of Health for the Independent Living Supports Program and to use the funding to increase an 80% I & A to full time for 2024.

Background

The Sauk County Aging and Disability Resource Center was awarded the Independent Living Supports Program grant in March of 2023.   Due to unforeseen issues, the grant has been more cumbersome to administer than the state initially planned.   As a result, the Department of Health has offered more administrative funding to the ADRC.

 

One of the ADRC’s Information & Assistance Specialists works an .80 FTE.   She has agreed to go to full time January 1, 2024, devoting .20 FTE to the Independent Living Supports Program.   The funding will only last one year and she has agreed to return to .80 FTE in 2025.   The funding covers 20% of wages and benefits.  

Budget Status (Other/External Sources): 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the 2024 ADRC budget will be amended to include $24,044.00; $17,192.00 in wages and $6,852.00 in Fringe.   No levy is required.
