RE: Request for Ftmds for FY 2015-2016
Dear Commissioners:
Sutvannee Valley Transit Authority’ has been serving Columbia. Hamilton and Suwannee Counties since 1976.We provide much needed, life sustaining trips for Transportation Disadvantaged and we do so with great care andconcern for our clients. We greatly appreciate the $24,492.00 budget allocation that Columbia County provides toSuwannee Valley Transit Authority each year. These funds help us to meet the transportation needs of our clientsthrough the year.
The changes in Medicaid reform that began on May 1,2014, has had a substantial impact to Florida’s publictransportation agencies. Suwanee Valley Transit Authority’s funding has been cut by $173,937.00 each month.
We humbly ask that the Columbia County Board of County’ Commissioners consider our request for additionalfunding for the 2015-2016, and future, Fiscal Year(s), in the amount of $61 .071.30. which is equivalent to $0.90per capita. The basis of our request is research performed by staff from 10 other CTCs by County’ in the NorthFlorida area. These 10 CTCs receive funding by local government at an average rate of$ 1.85 per capita. Thefunds provided to Suwannee Valley Transit Authority averages a per capita rate in Columbia County’ of $0.36. itis our hope that you will help us to provide better service to the residents of Columbia County’, by approving thisin c tease.
Suwannee Valley Transit Authority looks forward to serving the citizens of Columbia County’ for years to come.Please feel free to contact me at any time if you have any questions or concerns.
Respectfully,

Ben Scott, County AdministratorBoard of County CommissionersColumbia CountyP.O. Box 1529Lake City, FL 32056-1529
Please find enclosed the request from Columbia County SeniorServices, Inc. for funding consideration from the Board of CountyCommissioners in fiscal year 2016-17. Services to the 60+ population inColumbia County have advanced about as far as we can providewithout additional staff, equipment and facilities. Our staff is so smallit has become almost impossible to effectively do our jobs. We are
constantly called upon to cover the duties for which we cannot affordadequate staff.
Every day new people come to our programs. They come to use theexercise equipment; or to participate in the wide variety of activitiesprovided by paid and volunteer Staff. Caregivers come to supportgroups to share with other caregivers their victories and defeats.The Club-Dementia Specific Adult Day Care will soon outgrow itsstaff and facility space. It is estimated that over 1400 families inColumbia County are affected by this horrible disease.
Columbia County is the gateway to Florida. As we continue to developand promote our business potential, recreational facilities, andbeautiful environment we need to remember that new businesseswant to come to a place where their employees can find activities andsupport for their entire family. We need your support to-eo-ntinue todevelop our facilities and programs in such a manner as to be an assetin the continued growth of Columbia County.
Thank you for your support.

Item # 1: Social Service/SeniorsCotumbia County Senior Services, Inc. was established in 1972 to meet thespecial needs of the 60+ citizens of Lake City and Columbia County. Theorganization is run by an unpaid Board of Directors made up of citizensfrom Lake City and Columbia County; and, by a paid professional staff.The goal of the continuum of services provided by the agency is tomaintain60+ persons in their own homes, and to prevent, postpone or
reduce inappropriate or unnecessary institutional ptacements; and, whitein their own homes maintain an acceptabLe quality of life.
Item # 2:The latest census information tetts us that there are 16,263 (23.69% oftotat) individuats in Lake City and Cotumbia County who are 60 years ofage or older; of that number 11752 are 65 years or older; 7,832 are 70years or older; and, 48063 are 75 years of age or older. The 80+poputation is 2209 . The 85+ population is 1311. The number of strokerelated and Atzheimer’s dementia patients in our communityis estimatedat 1434. 60+ registered voters is 12,642. Ptease see attachment A.
Item # 3: CCSS, Inc. is a 501-C-3 not for profit corporation. Ptease seeattachment B).
Item #4:The County does not provide any of the same services for the 60+poputation as those provided by Columbia County Senior Services, Inc. TheCCSS has a number of programs aimed at helping 60+ adutts maintain theirdignity and their independence:
1) the Community Care for the ElderLy Program (provides in-homehomemaking services, personaL care services, the emergency alertresponse service, home delivered meals, respite service, and casemanagement for those peopte teast able to afford services from otherorganizations);
2) the Emergency Home Energy Program (provides portable heaters, orfans for elderly individuals who do not have the resources to provide themfor themseLves. The program atso pays energy biLLs for 60+ peopte inimmediate danger of having their power cut off or who must use an airconditioner for reasons of poor health);
3) the Long Term Community Care Program took the place of theMedicaid Waiver program in February of 2014. The Agency for HealthCare Administration took over this program from the Department ofElder Affairs. Managed Care Organizations have taken over the
administration of this program from the local community Aging ServicesNetwork. CCSS has had a spending authority as large as $450,000 forthis program in the past. We now act as service vendors to the MCO’sand project a potential earning of $90,000 . Aside from the loss ofincome this change gives us a major cash flow problem. In the past wecould direct bitt Medicaid and not have a waiting period for payment.Since the change in Medicaid most of our services are funded throughState and Federal programs which can be over two months behind inpayments.
4) the Home Care for the Elderly Program provides a smaLl stipend,usuatly $106.00/month to the care-giver of a 60+ adutt who maintains theadutt in his home. This smatt stipend is to help with expenses incurred bythe care-giver for the care of the 60+ adults;
5) the Atzheimer’s Disease Initiative Program provides in home respitefor the care-givers of patients with Atzheimer’s Disease; support groupsfor family care-givers are avaitabte at the Life Style Enrichment Centertwice every month; and hetps fund clients in the Dementia Day Care;
6) the TitLe III Program hetps support two nutritional and recreationalsites, one in Lake City and one in Ft. White, which provides a place forrecreation, sociatization and a hot noon-day meat for peopLe over 60.These centers help reduce the isolation and poor nutrition from whichmany 60+ individuals suffer. CCSS, also, sponsors Home Delivered Meatsfor homebound senior adults and, provides transportation to thetransportation disadvantaged 60+ population in Lake City and ColumbiaCounty.
7) the Title III-E Respite Program provides emergency and plannedrespite for unpaid care-givers of 60+ adults, as well as, training andsupport group assistance.
8) the Ctub - Day Care for Adutts with Dementia has been open sinceSeptember of 2013. CCSS always had the goal of opening a sociaL-therapeutic Day Care for Adults with Dementia. We have funded this program,which is far more expensive than other programs due to medical staffing
requirements (an RN and C.N.A.’s) from a designated savings account. Themonies for this savings account came from fundraising activities overmany years. We have tooked for every way possibLe to fund this servicefor those in need. For exampLe, we apptied to be a vendor for the VA. Wehave several. VA patients at this time. We have fee paying cLients ($lOIhr),however, even this tow price is too high for a famity to use everyday. Wegained another grant source (LSP-Local Service Provider) in Juty of 2015.We atso have contracts with Sunshine State Health Ptan and American Elder Care to provide Day Care services. This program must be setf sustaining.
Item # 5:CCSS received $166,667.00 from the BOCC in support of programs for the60+ popuLation in 2015-2016. The BOCC aLso gave the agency nonrecurring support in the amount of $25,000. The City of Lake Citycontributed $60,000 in FY 2015-16.
Item #6:CCSS provides services for the entire economic spectrum of the 60+population. Beginning in July of 1996 alL clients in State of Ftoridasupported programs were required to be processed to determine if theycoutd afford to pay any portion of their services.

Dear Mr. Scott:
On behalf of Suwannee Valley 4Cs Head Start / Early Head Start (SV4Cs), I would like to request adonation for the upcoming 2017 fiscal year in the amount of $10,000.
SV4Cs proudly serves 232 Columbia County children from low-income families through our Head Startprograms (120 children, 3-5 yrs old) at our Lake City and Ft. White Learning Centers and our Early HeadStart program (88 children, birth to 3 yr olds) at the Lake City Learning Center and Lawton’s PlaceLearning Center.
SV4Cs provides a quality early childhood experience and comprehensive services with componentsaddressing Education, Health, Nutrition, Mental Health, Disabilities, Social Services and ParentInvolvement. Our program is family-oriented, child-focused and has the overall goal of increasing theschool readiness of young children in low-income families. Research shows that for every $1 investednow in quality early childhood development programs like Head Start / Early Head Start, communitiessave at least $7 later in unemployment, criminal justice and child welfare programs. Programs like HeadStart / Early Head Start are the most effective ways to reduce juvenile delinquency, childhood anti-socialbehavior, low cognitive abilities and poor parenting. Families must meet certain income and child ageeligibility requirements. Our program also provides inclusive services to children with disabilitiesregardless of family income. (See the enclosed information sheet.)
SV4C5 Head Start / Early Head Start does not charge any fees for services and must generate over $1million in match each year in order to receive grant dollars. Columbia County’s contribution would go along way to ensure that match goal. We greatly appreciate your support in helping us provide qualityearly childhood development programs to disadvantaged families in Columbia County.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of our request. Should you need further informationregarding this request, please feel free to contact me at (386) 754.2222 x 106.
Sincerely,

Suwannee Valley 4Cs Head Start and Early Head Start
Quality Early Childhood Program Serving 470 families
Our Head Start and Early Head Start programs make a significant difference in the communities we serve. Head Startprepares low-income children academically, socially, and physically to enter kindergarten. When children born in povertyare provided with high-quality, active learning experiences and comprehensive services including proper health care, thebenefits are significant, both in terms of quality of life for these children when they become adults and in terms of lowercosts to society for welfare, grade retention, special education, social services and crime costs.
From its inception in 1965, the purpose of the Head Start program has been to promote school readiness by enhancingthe social, physical and cognitive development of children through the provision of health, educational, nutritional, social,
and other services. Head Start is a national program administered by the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services.Nearly 1 million low-income children and their families are served each year by Head Start and Early Head Start. In the
state of Florida, there are 800 centers serving nearly 40,000 children and their families.
Suwannee Valley 4Cs proudly serves 470 children and their families through our programs in Columbia,Hamilton, Lafayette and Suwannee counties.
