Background: The Town of Chapel Hill's Parks and Recreation Department has provided recreation and leisure programs for senior citizens through its New Generation program. The New Generation program delivers a variety of activities including games, arts and crafts classes, and field trips for senior citizens. The Town's New Generation program has operated in coordination with the Orange County Department on Aging which publicized programming through the Senior Times and provided space for activities in the Chapel Hill Senior Center and Northside Human Services Center. 2 The Town of Chapel Hill's Parks and Recreation Department used a permanent, full-time position to support the New Generation program as well as part time temporary staff. When the permanent position became vacant, the Town of Chapel Hill re-assessed how it delivers recreational and leisure programming for senior citizens. As a result of the assessment, the Town of Chapel Hill has proposed transferring the New Generation program to Orange County and contracting with the County to provide this recreation and leisure programming for senior citizens in the Town through the Chapel Hill and Northside Centers. The attached contract between the Town and the County would fully fund the program, including funding for a permanent full time Senior Citizen Program Coordinator position, temporary part time help as needed for special activities, equipment, and office supplies. The funding amount for 1997-98 is $44,017. Recommendation: The Manager recommends the Board: • Approve the contract with the Town of Chapel Hill to provide funding for senior recreation services. • Establish a new permanent full-time Senior Citizen Program Coordinator position at Salary Grade 64, subject to continuation of funds from the Town of Chapel Hill. \pers\elgin\classify\aging\abstract. doc Attachment 1 NORTH CAROLINA PERFORMANCE ORANGE COUNTY AGREEMENT This Agreement made and entered into by and between the Town of Chapel Hill, c/o Chapel Hill Parks & Recreation Department, 200 Plant Road, Chapel Hill NC 27514, hereinafter referred to as "Town" and Orange County by and for its Department on Aging, hereinafter referred to as "County", PO Box 8181, Hillsborough, NC 27278.
