HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - December 16, 1998 (72)AGENDA TITLE: Public Benefits Program Grant — Loel Senior Center ($32,928.00)
MEETING DATE: December 16, 1998
PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve a Public Benefits Program Grant to the Loel
Senior Center ($32,928.00)
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: During a November 17, 1998 Shirtsleeve Session, the Electric Utility
Department presented an overview of the Public Benefits Program (PBP) and
a suggested expenditure of PBP funds over the ensuing 4 years.
As indicated in the Council Communication from November 17, 1998, several specific qualifying proposals would be
presented prior to year's end for PBP funding consideration. One such proposal recommended for funding is the Loel
Senior Center Energy Efficiency Improvement Grant (please see attached project information and proposal prepared
by Loel Senior Center staff personnel).
Several months ago, the Loel Senior Center embarked on an ambitious $400,000.00 plus facility renovation project.
As a component of the renovation effort, the Loel Senior Center is desirous of upgrading the Center's lighting system,
the heating, venting & air conditioning system (HVAC) to more energy efficient systems, while installing a high
efficiency commercial freezer in the kitchen area. The Loel Senior Center is requesting a grant in the amount of
$32,928.00 to accomplish this component of the renovation project from the City of Lodi's Public Benefits Program
fund. Specifically, $27,928.00 will be utilized for the aforementioned physical upgrades to the Loel Senior Center
facility. An additional expenditure of up to, but not to exceed, $5,000.00 is being requested for measurement and
verification purposes. The measurement and verification component, performed by the energy consulting firm of
Energy Masters International, will be conducted over a period of several months upon completion of the Loel Senior
Center renovation project.
The Electric Utility Department has reviewed the request, and recommends approval for this funding request as a
qualifying project under the proposed PBP. The Loel Senior Center will award a construction contract to proceed with
the renovation project in early January 1999, with groundbreaking planned for March of 1999. The aforementioned
energy upgrades at the Loel Senior Center are solely contingent upon approval of this funding.

The LOEL Senior Center is a private. non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization that was founded in 1976
by William Holz for the purpose of providing free and low cost meals for seniors. During the past
21 years, the mission and services of the LOEL Senior Center have blossomed into ones of serving
the educational, health and social needs of the elderly.
Today. the LOEL Senior Center Foundation Board and staff are looking toward the future and
anticipating the needs of the growing senior community. To accommodate the growing needs of
our senior community. the LOEL Senior Center Foundation Board and staff have worked as a
team with a local architect to assess the Centers needs and find creative ways to continue to grow
with the community. The LOEL Foundation Board and staff unanimously support the renovation
plans to enhance and expand the Centers facility and programs and are seeking financial support
from the City of Lodi's Electric Utility Department.
Sincerely.

Grant Proposal
LOEL Senior Center Renovation Project
The LOEL Senior Center in a non-profit Sol (c) (3) that was started in 1976
by the late William Holz. With an initial $100,000.00 bequest, the Lodi Elderly, or
LOEL Foundation was born.
The first LOEL Site was located at Hotel Lodi on School Street. Its initial
goal was to provide a place for seniors to gather and have a nutritious meal.
However, this mission quickly blossomed into one of serving the educational, health
and social needs of the senior community. In 1978, the Center's programs were able
to expand when Mr. Holz purchased a vacant church on South Washington Street.
Today, the LOEL Senior Center continues to grow with the community
striving to understand and anticipate the needs of older adults. The LOEL Senior
Center believes that all seniors deserve to live healthy and fulfilling lives. The
LOEL Senior Center is committed to serving the needs of today's seniors and
creating opportunities to keep them active. What matters to the Center most is that
seniors do not feel helpless and alone.
Through the past 21 years the LOEL Senior Center has listened and cared
for the senior community, identifying their needs and seeking creative solutions.
The LOEL Foundation Board and staff have been resourceful in their financial
dealings and have addressed the needs of the elderly community by collaborating
with over 15 local groups. The Foundation, therefore, has been able to pay for
operational cost with the interest accrued by the endowment left by William Holz
without spending a cent of the actual endowment. Additional programming
expenses are paid for through community fundraising events and donations. It is
because of the Center's strong fiscal position that the Foundation is able to
confidently look into the on going life and development of the Center.
The NOEL Senior Center successfully serves the 60 years and older age group
in a variety of ways. A large percentage of the Center's time and resources are spent
on providing weekday meals for the elderly. The Center serves approximately 250
nutritious meals at the center and delivers over 650 meals to housebound seniors
each week.
The LOEL Senior Center is a community based and a community run
organization. It is because of the support of 190 volunteers that the Center is able to
LOEL Senior Center Renovation Proiect 1
touch so many lives. In 1997, the NOEL Senior Center delivered over 31,000 meals
to homebound people and served 25,682 meals to participants at the Center's
nutrition site. And last year LOEL Senior Center volunteers donated nearly 10,063
hours of service to the Center.
The Center however, offers much more than nutritious meals. There are 30
on going programs and services, everything from Tai -Chi to line dancing and tax
assistance to flu immunizations. A painting class Delta College and the LOEL
Senior Center started in October of 1997 now has 71 people enrolled in it. During
the first week of December each year, with the communities support, the Center
throws a free Christmas dinner that hosts over 600 seniors. One of our newest pilot
programs "What's Your Story" involves six grade students interviewing seniors and
writing about their historical experiences. The Center is also working with nearby
schools, Heritage and Lawrence to provide a needed support group for grandparents
who are raising their grandchildren. The Center currently provides services to
approximately 1,000 seniors each year. Seniors come from the Lodi, Acampo,
Woodbridge, Galt, Victor, Lockeford, Clements and Stockton areas to participate in
the LOEL programs and services.
The needs and numbers of seniors are rapidly growing as adults become
"retirees" everyday. The U.S. Department on Aging states that "older Americans
constitute the most rapidly growing segment of the population." In fact, it is
predicted that from 1993 to 2020 there will be a 1001/6 increase in the people 65 and
older due to the baby boomers reaching their sixties. What is even more significant
to recognize is that California currently has more senior citizens than any other
state in the nation (3 million) and many of those folks live in Lodi and the
surrounding communities. In fact, the last population count completed in 1990
estimated that there were 10,248 people 60 years and older living in the City of Lodi.
According to the Department of Aging, there will be more than 20,400 people 60
years and older in the Lodi area by the year 2020.
With such a fast growing population, it is no surprise that senior centers
have become common place throughout California. In fact, promoting the
establishment and development of multipurpose senior centers has been an integral
part of the Older American Act since its enactment in 1965. Senior service agencies
are helping older adults feel at ease as family members and friends relocate or pass
away and the nation speeds ahead into the twenty-first century. With new policies
LOEL Senior Center Renovation Proiect
2
arising each year on health insurance, long term care insurance, social security and
other important topics, it is difficult to keep up. Seniors need a place to find
answers and assurance. Today's seniors desperately need a place where they can
find resources, exercise, friends, support groups, work together, serve each other and
the community. It has been proven that without these services, seniors are at a
greater risk of becoming depressed and/or ill.
The American Psychological Association published research that proved
seniors who are part of social groups are less likely to become depressed than seniors
who do not have social groups. Their research also found that seniors' physical
health is influential in the mental state of elderly people. The study states, "When
old people feel physically ill, they are more likely to feel depressed." It is important
to acknowledge this correlation between illness and depression and strive towards
keeping seniors healthy, as well as happy.
A Harvard Health Publication Report found that a senior's degree of
depression could be lessened through physical activity. Dr. Lanyi, a staff member
at New York University School of Medicine, supports this theory and explains the
benefits of exercise, "Moderate exercise has physical and emotional benefits
including sounder sleep, increased flexibility and reduced blood pressure. Regular
exercise decreases the risk of stroke, and improves bowel and bladder control." The
bottom line is, social groups and physical activity have been proven to play key roles
in helping seniors live happy, healthy, independent lives.
The LOEL Senior Center recognizes the needs of seniors and offers a variety
of opportunities for seniors to improve their lives socially and physically. However,
as the demand for senior services grows, the Center's available program space
becomes limited. In response to the growing needs and inadequate space, the Center
has begun to assess its needs and determine renovation plans that will better utilize
the LOEL Senior Center building and adequately serve the needs of today's and
tomorrow's senior.
The Center's renovation proposal is a multi -phase project. Currently, the
plans are broken into two phases. Phase I focuses on up -dating the facility and
redistributing existing space to more efficiently serve the current programs at the
Center. Phase II centers on using the existing LOEL property located on the West-
side of the LOEL Senior Center to build additional program space onto the Center
and provide additional parking. The Center has recently received a $105,000.00 City
LOEL Senior Center Renovation Proiect 3
of Lodi Community Block Grant allocated to the first part of Phase I of the
Renovation Project, which is estimated to cost $341,098.00.
Phase I of the LOEL Senior Center remodeling project will enhance the
existing Center in a number of ways. The first part of Phase I addresses the
Center's urgent need to reorganize and create more program and storage space in
order to conduct numerous programs efficiently. For example, the Alzheimer's
office, a fast growing program at the Center, currently shares a portion of its office
with the Center's food storage. The renovation plans would relocate and centralize
food storage in order to expand the Alzheimer's office and simplify food preparation
and organization. This project also includes centralizing the administration offices
into one main informational center. This modification will free up office space for
additional, private one on one and small group programs and services. The new
information center will help eliminate confusion of new participants and will assist
the Center's staff in efficiently greeting and serving each individual as he or she
arrives. The Center's renovation pians will also address needed updating of lighting,
kitchen equipment, floor coverings, electrical outlets, painting and heating and air
conditioning systems all designed to improve acoustics and visual aids.
It is the goal of the Center to create the needed space for the predicted
growth of the senior community and create the most user friendly atmosphere to
make each senior feel at home. The LOEL Renovation Project seeks to develop a
multi purpose facility that adequately meets the needs of today's rising number of
seniors in order to decrease the risk of depression and illness.
While it is difficult to determine the mental state and physical health of the
senior community at large to evaluate the effectiveness of the Renovation Project,
the LOEL Senior Center firmly believes that the increase in senior participation at
the Center is a valid indication of the Renovation Project's success. The Center,
therefore, will evaluate the project by comparing the number of people that utilize
the LOEL Senior Center before the renovation and after the renovation. The
Center will also evaluate individual programs through written surveys given to
Center participants.
The LOEL Senior Center is requesting $27,928.00 from the City of Lodi
Electric Utility Department to transform the existing facility into a more
comfortable, energy efficient environment for the elderly community members that
utilize the facility.
LOEL Senior Center Renovation Project 4
The first $24,928.00 would be used to improve the facility's lighting and to
update the heating and air conditioning systems. The replacement of all lighting
fixtures and energy efficient ballasts throughout the building will visually aid LOEL
volunteers and participants who are most often losing their vision. The additional
light will help them to see images more clearly. The lighting adjustment will be most
appreciated by the hundreds of bingo players we see each month along with the
more than 50 artist that participate in our weekly painting class and those that
come to the Center to play cards and read magazines. The light and ballast
replacement will conserve energy. The heating and air conditioning systems will be
improved by replacing the most inefficient existing HVAC unit and reworking all the
ducts to enhance ventilation and climate control. These enhancements will ensure
that LOEL Senior Center participants, many suffering from arthritis, will remain at
a comfortable healthy temperature while eating lunch, dancing, receiving flu shots
and all other activities offered at the Center.
In addition to the $24,928.00, the LOEL Senior Center is soliciting $3,000.00
to purchase a commercial freezer. A new large commercial freezer would be
purchased with the available funds and replace the three and a half freezers which
are currently scattered throughout the facility.
The LOEL Senior Center would like to express its gratitude and publicly
recognize the Lodi Electric Utility Department's $27,928.00 contribution to the
LOEL energy related improvements by naming them as one of the LOEL Senior
Center's major renovation sponsors. The community would also be made aware of
the Electric Utilities Department's generous support through the LOEL Senior
Center Newsletter and the distribution of press releases to local papers.
The LOEL Senior Center Renovation Project is the first of its kind in 21
years. The project strictly seeks to accomplish the LOEL Senior Center's mission to
serve the needs of today's seniors. The project will provide additional resources and
care for the rising population of retires that are often left forgotten.
