Fayette seniors want funding increaseThu, 05/24/2007 - 12:02pm
By: Ben Nelms
Fayette County budget talks continued Thursday, with Fayette Senior Services asking county commissioners for an increase that would nearly double the current funding level. Responding to a question by Chairman Jack Smith about the specific use of the $105,631 allocation, senior services Executive Director Andy Carden said the amount goes purely and directly toward contracted meals. Carden outlined other budget requests totaling another $100,000, including $40,000 to cover the full cost in providing meals and $60,000 to cover the occupancy costs associated with new senior’s center, expected to be ready around Jan. 1. Commissioners noted a $1 million endowment to the senior services by a Peachtree City resident. Up to five percent of that amount could be drawn down to meet certain expenses, Carden said. login to post comments |
