Office for the Aging gets meal‑fund increase, account transfers and vehicle replacements
Summary
Steuben County's committee approved an $18,574 increase to Corning Meals on Wheels, accepted $7,177 from NYSOFA, closed two small advisory bank accounts totaling $65,949.44 into the Office for the Aging budget, and authorized replacing two leased vehicles with all‑wheel drive units.
The committee approved several Office for the Aging requests on May 6, including an $18,574 amendment to the Corning Meals on Wheels contract to cover higher program use and food costs. Gabe Smalt said the increase is budgeted and will be paid from Unmet Need funds.
Smalt also asked the committee to accept $7,177 in additional 3D funding awarded by the New York State Office for the Aging to help cover office salaries and fringe; that was approved 5‑0. The committee authorized closing the RSVP Advisory Council bank account at Five Star Bank and transferring $65,439.44 into the Office for the Aging budget, and closing TRIAD bank accounts at ServU Credit Union and transferring $510; both transfers were approved unanimously.
On fleet needs, Smalt requested authorization to add two all‑wheel drive vehicles to the Office for the Aging major equipment list to replace leased Malibus; Jack K. Wheeler noted the replacements are budgeted as leased equipment. The committee approved the change 5‑0.
Smalt also secured approval for a $986 meeting expense to train new leaders for the Matter of Balance fall‑prevention class for older adults. The transcript records no further conditions or contingencies on these approvals.
What happens next: staff will implement the account transfers and vehicle procurement according to existing county procurement procedures.
