Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 712-08, reports as follows:
Resolution No. 712-08, transmitted by Director of Finance William Takaba, via Communication
No. 1359, dated July 24, 2008, amends transfers funds as follows:
From:
010.481.5483.15 Healthy Aging Partnership (Nutrition Program) General $31,834.34
To:
010.411.5411.93 Healthy Aging Partnership (Office of Aging) General $31,834.34
The County of Hawaii was awarded grant funds from the Administration on Aging to coordinate
the mobilization of the public and private partnerships at the community level to implement and
sustain the delivery of evidence-based prevention through an aging service provided
organization. The Hawaii County Office of Aging (HCOA) contracted with the Hawaii County
Nutrition Program (HCNP) to implement Enhance Fitness, an evidence-based exercise program,
in two nutrition sites, which for a number of reasons Enhance Fitness did not prove to be a very
good program for the nutrition sites, and a difficult decision to terminate the program was made.
The HCOA is committed to maintaining and/or improving the health status of elderly citizens,
and has requested approval from the State Executive Office of Aging (EOA) to explore the
possibility of implementing the Stanford University Chronic Disease Self Management Program,
which is another grant, approved evidence-based prevention. The EOA granted its approval, and
HCOA will use the unspent funds which will be transferring out and from the Elderly Activities
Division's Nutrition Program's Healthy Aging Partnership account, and crediting it to the
Hawaii County Office of Aging's Healthy Aging Partnership account, to contract with another
aging service provided organization.
