§ 11-11-58 — Programs and activities for senior citizens - Expenditure of funds

The board of county commissioners is authorized to establish or maintain programs and
activities for senior citizens, including the expansion of existing senior citizen centers which will
provide recreational and other leisure-time activities, informational, health, welfare, counseling,
and referral services for senior citizens, and assist such persons in providing volunteer
community or civic services. The board is authorized to expend funds received from state,
federal, or private sources for the public purposes provided for in this section. No expenditure
authorized by this section shall be made to defray any expenses or any organization or agency
until such organization or agency is incorporated under the laws of this state as a nonprofit
corporation and has contracted with the board in regard to the manner in which such funds will
be expended and the services to be provided. An organization or agency and its program which
receives such funds shall be reviewed or approved annually by the board to determine its
eligibility to receive funds under the provisions of this section.
