DATE:04-28-26
DEPT:CMO
SUBJECT:REQUEST TO MODIFY FY 2025/26 ASSET ALLOCATION TO HEARTLAND
OF STORY COUNTY
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
Heartland of Story County has submitted a request to the City to modify its FY 2025/26
ASSET allocation by transferring funds that remain in the Meals on Wheels service and Senior
Food Program service to the Adult Day Center service. As indicated in Heartland of Story
County's letter of request (attached), the funding transfer is being requested due to the
increasingly complex needs of individuals served and an increase in participants served. The
cost of unit (1 day of service) for Adult Day Center will not change and remain at $73.76. The
proposed revisions to the allocations and the amounts appear in the following table:
Service Original Allocation Change Revised Allocation
Meals on Wheels $100,000 - $53,963 $46,037
Senior Food Program $4,668 - $2,542 $2,126
Adult Day Center $67,600 + $56,505 $124,105
TOTAL $172,268 $0 $172,268
If approved, the number of units purchased total for Adult Day Center for FY 2025/26 will be
1,68 2. There is one additional service purchased through ASSET from Heartland that is not
impacted by this request. The City purchases up to $50,100 for service coordination outreach.
Overall, the City's total purchase amount agreement with Heartland for ASSET services for FY
2025/26 is $222,368.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the request from Heartland of Story County to transfer:
a. $53,963 from Meals on Wheels to Adult Day Center
b. $2,542 from Senior Food Program to Adult Day Center
2. Deny the request.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The requested transfer of funds does not result in an overall increased funding to the
organization. The rationale for the transfer of services to be purchased from Heartland Senior
Services is well explained and reasonable. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City
Manager that the City Council approve Alternative No. 1 as stated above.
