FROM: Lee Farmer, Recreation Superintendent
DATE: November 28, 2022
SUBJECT: Approval of a resolution to authorize a contract between the City of
Fayetteville and the Area Agency on Aging of Northwest Arkansas in the amount of

RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of a resolution to authorize a contract between the City of Fayetteville and the Area
Agency on Aging of Northwest Arkansas in the amount of $145,804 to provide public recreation
services for senior residents of Fayetteville in 2023.
BACKGROUND:
Since 1972, the City of Fayetteville has provided financial support through the annual work
budget to the Area Agency on Aging of Northwest Arkansas (AAA) to provide recreation
services for senior residents. This has been a very successful agreement to provide recreational
programs and activities for senior residents of Fayetteville.
AAA provides recreational programs meeting the needs of our senior residents at the
Fayetteville Senior Activity and Wellness Center and transportation services for the residents of
Hillcrest Towers. It is the intent of AAA and the Fayetteville Parks and Recreation Department to
work in cooperation to enhance the recreation facilities and programs in our City, while not
duplicating services to spend taxpayers' money as effectively as possible. If the AAA were not
serving our senior resident population, the City would need to assume responsibility.
DISCUSSION:
The 2023 budget approved an appropriation of $145,804 for services to be paid to AAA
pursuant to an approved contract. The contract outlines the services the AAA is providing to the
City and the senior residents of Fayetteville. The Fayetteville Senior Activity and Wellness
Center's building is designated as an emergency shelter for the City of Fayetteville due to their
location and facility available to assist in housing residents.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
The 2023 budget includes a total of $145,804 for this request.
