Chairperson Kennedy hoped that the YMCA was working on a solution for the Friendship Center <br /> program. <br /> Child Care Links, Melissa Spann /Carol Thompson wanted to thank staff and the Commission <br /> for past funding and hoped they would be considered favorably for their funding request. The <br /> agency looks forward to a continued partnership with the City of Pleasanton. <br /> Chairperson Kennedy closed the meeting for agency presentations at 5:08 p.m. <br /> Mr. Erickson informed the Commission that two (2) projects that were allocated funds during the <br /> prior funding cycle, Axis Community Health ($138,000) and LARPD /Friendship Circle ($25,000) <br /> have not expended all of the funds allocated. Staff anticipates that the next phase of the large <br /> Axis project will begin during the next several months and the funds will be expended, and <br /> recommends that the LARPD /Friendship Circle funds be reallocated to offset the request by <br /> YMCA for funds to renovate the adult day care facility in Dublin. <br /> Commissioner Nagler thanked staff for all their hard work and the information that had been <br /> provided to Commissioners to help them make their recommendations. He suggested members <br /> of the Commission review the staff funding recommendations and discuss any differences they <br /> wished to make. <br /> Chairperson Kennedy agreed with Commissioner Nagler's comments and felt it would be a good <br /> starting point for the deliberations. She also reminded Commissioners that some of the items <br /> were to be reviewed by the Housing Commission. <br /> Ms. Yurchak suggested Commissioners review each application in order, as outlined on <br /> Attachment 1, discuss the funding request, and then make their recommendation. <br /> Commissioners agreed. <br /> App. #1001 Axis Community Health Medical Care for Low Income Pleasanton Residents <br /> Requested: $40,000 Recommended: $20,000 <br /> Commissioners agreed that Axis does great work, but were comfortable with staff's <br /> recommendation. <br /> App. #1002 Axis Community Health Teleminder for Healthcare Project <br /> Requested: $6,000 Recommended: $6,000 <br /> App. #1003 Open Heart Kitchen Senior Meal program <br /> Requested: $20,000 Recommended: $15,000 <br /> Commissioner Nagler discussed with Mr. Erickson how staff made their recommendation for this <br /> project. Mr. Erickson felt it fit with other things that take place at Ridge View Commons. He felt <br /> Open Heart Kitchen had done a great job and made some good improvements. He noted that <br /> the program is open to all Pleasanton seniors. <br /> Human Services Commission Minutes <br /> March 3, 2010 <br /> Page 5 <br />
