5. Resolutions
a. Resolution R2023-059—A Resolution Awarding Grant Year 2024 Senior Services Tax Levy Funding.
Voters of DeKalb County approved a .025% tax levy referendum in 1997 to be dedicated for Senior Services. The funds are for the prevention of the premature institutionalization of seniors, keeping seniors out of nursing homes and hospitals which ultimately results in an aggregate cost savings for the taxpayer. Funds are used to pay for services provided by local nonprofit organizations with a portion of funds utilized by the DeKalb County Community Mental Health Board (DCCMHB) to offset administrative costs.
With the assistance of Deanna Cada, Executive Director of the DCCMHB, the Health and Human Services (HHS) Committee solicits applications by agencies that provide these services. The HHS Committee reviews the applications and interviews each agency that requests funding before making a recommendation to the County Board as to how to allocate this year’s funds.
The FY23 Budget includes an allocation of $456,409 for contributions to the agencies that provide these services. Ten agencies submitted requests and the HHS Committee has conducted interviews on April 3rd and April 10th. The HHS Committee will discuss the allocation and take action on a recommendation to the County Board.
