Ms. Yurchak advised that if the Commission was comfortable with the information they had received that they could consider this application when they deliberate and make recommendations.

Tri- Valley Haven, Shiloh DV Shelter Handicap Ramps and Parking, Anne King/Vicki Thompson thanked the Commission for its past support and advised that funds requested would allow Tri Valley Haven to construct two (2) handicap ramps at the entrance to the shelter, and also fill cracks, replace uneven surfaces, and seal the parking lot and playground. Tri Valley Housing Opportunity Center, Tri Valley Housing Opportunity Center Renovation, Jacqueline Rickman advised that the agency recently purchased a historic building in Livermore and was requesting funding so they could renovate it. The renovation includes downstairs office space that is occupied by TVHOC, and updating of a single low- income residential unit upstairs above the office. Funding for this project is also being requested from the City of Livermore. TVHOC is hoping to become a self- sustaining organization, which will provide housing counseling, volunteer tax preparation, and other supportive services to Tri Valley households. Commissioner Rowland thanked TVHOC for thinking outside the box with a unique approach to its funding request, and Commissioner Nagler commented on this being a great program and a great way to use public funds. Tri Valley YMCA, Adult Day Care Program Building Renovation, Kelly O'Lague Dulka advised that the YMCA is working with the Tri Valley Adult Program and is in the process of opening an adult day care facility for frail elders at the Nielsen School site in Dublin. The building requires extensive renovation of the bathroom and stage areas. The funding requested will allow for renovation of the stage area and adding a ramp to allow access to this area. The bathroom renovations will be completed by the Dublin School District. Ms. Dulka advised that the YMCA is partnering with other groups to help achieve this project. Commissioner Rowland advised that this Commission has kept current on the progress of the adult day care program and the connection between the Friendship Center and the YMCA. Ms. Dulka noted that the Friendship Center continues to be involved and supports the program through fundraising efforts. Commissioner Lambert encouraged Ms. Dulka to attend meetings of the Youth Master Plan Implementation Committee to discuss ways the YMCA could partner with other organizations.
