ANALYSIS
Pursuant to Commissioner Cruz's request to establish an Office of Elder Affairs this Ordinance was
presented on the December 1st meeting and approved on First Reading. The purpose, structure and
funding of the proposed office are as follows. -
Purpose:
As set forth by Commissioner Cruz,the Elder Affairs Office shall assist seniors with an orientation
on housing, community health care and all services pertinent to seniors. The office will research
potential grant opportunities and seek additional funding for senior services and programming. It
is further recommended that the office apply for CDBG funding for"senior services", which is an
eligible CDBG activity under public services. Currently,the CDBG program funds the Little Havana
Activities and Nutrition Centers for Elderly Meals at two congregate meal sites; the Community
Council for Jewish Elderly, and the Jewish Vocational Service for home meals delivery.
Structure:
Similar to the Office of Children's Affairs, the Office of Elder Affairs should be established as an
office under the City Administration. We also recommend that this office work closely with the
Mayor and Commissioners and their aides.

The Department will be operated by a capable management level staff person that operates and
functions as an advocacy office, working with subcommittees of the affected citizens and working
to implement their ideas and activities.
The Director of the office will act as an ombudsman and will be the"eyes and ears" for the elderly
community and should be extremely familiar with the services of the City and County, as well as,
have first hand experience with the elderly to know their needs.
Funding:
The following is the proposed budget for the Office of Elder Affairs. It includes a full time director
and a part time secretary position. It is envisioned that the secretarial position could be combined
with the part time secretarial position currently in place for the Office of Children's Affairs to create
a full time position that could be shared. Additionally,we have included funding for fringe benefits,
furniture, computer equipment and other normal recurring operating expenses. This office can be
funded from our General Fund contingency account.
