SourcePoint’s chief programs officer told the board that in 2024 the organization provided in‑home care services to more than 2,000 individuals and served roughly 3,700 unduplicated participants through its community enrichment center. The presenter said federal sources covered about one‑third of the cost of producing each meal and warned that potential reductions in federal funding would force the agency to either find other revenue or reduce services.

SourcePoint described its core programs — in‑home personal care and emergency response, insurance counseling, caregiver support, transportation and Meals on Wheels — and highlighted volunteer support as essential to operations.

“We consider the median assisted living cost in 2024 was over $60,000 a year,” the presenter said, noting those costs to explain why in‑home services help older adults remain in the community rather than enter facility‑based care. The presenter also said 91 percent of enrichment‑center participants reported a high number of “healthy days” per month, a metric drawn from Medicare surveys.

On Meals on Wheels, SourcePoint reported it served more than 247,000 meals last year and described an effort to sustain the program by creating a second funding “bucket” that combines Title III Older Americans Act support with levy and client co‑pay revenue. The presenter described two delivery hubs intended to reduce volunteer travel time and improve route efficiency; the southern hub operates in partnership with Orange Township and Olentangy Schools.

SourcePoint said volunteers deliver routes Monday through Friday, that it currently has 36 volunteer routes, and that volunteers frequently provide welfare checks when deliveries are missed. “It’s more than just a meal,” the presenter said, summarizing the organization’s outreach and follow‑up practices.

Commissioners and SourcePoint staff discussed the county’s recent allocation of state “healthy aging” funds, which SourcePoint reported used across eviction prevention, pantry support, Meals on Wheels and a newly launched digital equity program. Commissioners thanked the nonprofit for its service; the board then unanimously adopted the proclamation recognizing May 2025 as Older Americans Month.

The presentation closed with SourcePoint asking commissioners to note the county’s demographic trends: the county’s population ages 55 and older grew substantially from 2010 to 2020 and SourcePoint expects continuing growth among the 85+ population, which it said will increase demand for in‑home care and other services.

SourcePoint staff offered to take questions and provide additional material on program funding and volunteer needs.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Commissioners Session May 8, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Delaware County commissioners on May 8 proclaimed May 2025 as Older Americans Month and heard a presentation from SourcePoint outlining the nonprofit’s services for residents 55 and older, usage statistics and funding pressures.","taxTitle","taxId",18079,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6229599,"Commissioners rescind investment resolutions and restore treasurer's investing authority under court order",412,2604000,3016000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3460073-efa10ccc62e7543b5a8167f750fe1d81&start=2604&end=3016","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3460073-efa10ccc62e7543b5a8167f750fe1d81/thumbnail_2604000.jpg","/articles/6229599/Delaware-County/Ohio/Commissioners-rescind-investment-resolutions-and-restore-treasurers-investing-authority-under-court-order","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6229599-6103cb156ab34472aac73e76616549e9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770988669&Signature=JgPd2C7Gqiobv7eTgvQXEM6~VICeSaSHa6Kygtd1MHylO6nXBks8cqdi79FZuqaswpUlbcDHLLMyOIW0FFYUs~zgZwTb21kwN~N-KJ3NHd5Hsvn~VkG8uIx7FqAprOXiPFb1pie917axDSOi1tWiU02EcqplMS389V3vslGkLuIgSxS3PGJ0gKdAdx9P-ASo647mFlS9YcWEq15OF1gggrEECjjCvSzbiLjOLHTJ2MKuIjZcbJZq1OQwG9~urxGmY6A4AclAKVApCc95YxUCzuOx6cZAD9UClWqn83w7RA4lWR2Cc5iHuBbfFR6M0dlGStURgNkD4eWd~ss5-fK4ag__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Delaware County commissioners on May 8 rescinded three prior resolutions governing semiannual investment reviews and restored the county treasurer as the investing authority after a common pleas court entered an agreed partial judgment on May 6.

County counsel told the board the court order required rescission of Resolution Nos. 24‑759, 25‑175 and 25‑244 and restoration of the treasurer’s investing authority. The entry also included a prohibition: once restored, the treasurer shall not, by private placement, purchase bonds, notes or other obligations issued by political subdivisions or public entities during the remainder of the treasurer’s term.

County counsel presented four draft resolutions (labeled a–d) that would comply with the court’s order; commissioners discussed the amount of historical background to include. The administrator and deputy administrator recommended option B, which provides a full history of the policy and events leading to the entry while omitting some statutory references. Commissioners said they supported adopting option B to preserve the sequence of events for the public record while noting the judgment was only a partial resolution and that the underlying policy’s validity remains subject to further court review.

The board adopted Resolution No. 25‑337 rescinding the earlier investment reviews and restoring the treasurer’s authority; the resolution went into effect immediately upon adoption. Commissioners noted the rescission implements the recent court order and warned the county remains engaged in ongoing litigation related to the investment policy.

The rescission requires the restored treasurer to refrain from private placement purchases for the balance of the current term and preserves the court’s ability to adjudicate remaining claims in the case identified as 25CBH04‑0425.","Following an agreed partial judgment entry in litigation, Delaware County commissioners rescinded three earlier resolutions and restored the treasurer as the county’s investing authority, with a court‑ordered restriction against private placements during the treasurer’s remaining term.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6229603,"Delaware County sheriff seeks $200,000 from Ohio attorney general grant to subsidize jail MAT medications",355,1656000,2011000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3460073-efa10ccc62e7543b5a8167f750fe1d81&start=1656&end=2011","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3460073-efa10ccc62e7543b5a8167f750fe1d81/thumbnail_1656000.jpg","/articles/6229603/Delaware-County/Ohio/Delaware-County-sheriff-seeks-200000-from-Ohio-attorney-general-grant-to-subsidize-jail-MAT-medications","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6229603-066886b11bf03605f339b579de96210a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770988669&Signature=gZFh5F-aI14-BqDiDmlJxek8h~SQS0WVhDB5czUmf2MsUs1Xt5A8PtRhdcefBR77g2Y4yabHVZLrQsykM~zkdwkzEfxbP0~pp11xvP62pZa2yPYYRUwzJGwmawPLlLYngIbz3FpleMkrTjphRIm8TKTBgLndjdkpav23T17qwz-LLqnVgckrhVhEJ5U4vx6DkPuUJk9vSZf~DEtsvtUuC9lplBLIUyVDxMNvwpONKdAliNjG-yIPF1iJoDKvIs0POdZNCKLosOUhBzgtnNZe9GaWR24ECxN6fUZ4GBQS9~NBSMRxIvlKpYsdS8HckWeLeLGCcocuGlhxGTfhdRI~Hw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Delaware County sheriff’s office on May 8 asked commissioners to authorize an application to the Ohio attorney general’s OVIA remediation grant program to subsidize medications for the county’s jail‑based Medicated Assisted Treatment (MAT) program.

A sheriff’s office representative told the board that local data show a notable correlation between overdose incidents and prior incarceration, and described the county program as a fully in‑house MAT effort that couples medication with counseling and case management. The sheriff’s office said it is applying for $200,000 to offset medication costs.

The presenter said roughly half of people who experienced overdoses in 2024 had prior jail involvement and that many overdose fatalities involved individuals previously known to the jail, underscoring a need for jail‑based treatment and reentry supports.

Commissioners asked about the source and availability of funds from the state and the county’s use of settlement dollars. County staff said the county has more than $1.5 million from a local settlement allocation and described local working groups reviewing use; they also explained the Ohio attorney general set aside $20 million for county jails and community corrections facilities and was awarding grants in multi‑year increments.

The sheriff’s office representative said the county’s MAT program is run by existing jail staff; that organizational model has sustainability benefits but also means staff are stretched. The presenter noted that people in incarceration status cannot access Medicaid to pay for medications while jailed, which creates the need for local subsidy.

Commissioners voted to authorize the submission of the grant application; the motion passed unanimously.

The sheriff’s office emphasized the grant is competitive and not guaranteed; if awarded, the funds would be used specifically to subsidize medications for inmates enrolled in the county MAT program as part of an integrated treatment and reentry plan.","At the May 8 commissioners meeting the sheriff’s office asked the board to authorize applying for the Ohio attorney general’s OVIA remediation grant to fund medications for the county’s Medicated Assisted Treatment (MAT) program in the jail, citing a correlation between prior incarceration and local overdoses.","actionData","errors"]
