Commissioner Roby was pleased to learn that the three cities were working together on this <br /> and Commissioner Wright agreed the Tri-Valley Haven buildings are in need of repair but <br /> questioned whether this would impede their programs. Ms. Hopkins noted that the City of <br /> Pleasanton has provided the largest amount of funding for the programs. <br /> Ms. Hopkins discussed with Commissioner Hayes funding that needs to be set aside for when <br /> the dental project is ready to move forward. <br /> Chairperson Clare questioned how the Commission wished to move forward in reviewing the <br /> grant applications. <br /> Commissioners discussed the Tri-Valley haven Sojourner House project and the affects to the <br /> program by new Alameda County requirements and the meetings that have been taking place <br /> between the cities of Dublin, Livermore and Pleasanton. They discussed the staff <br /> recommendation that would allow the shelter to continue operating for the next year. <br /> Commissioner Sedlak noted that the grant funding request was for salaries and Commissioner <br /> Wright asked about case management and questioned if the funding would allow the program <br /> to continue until staff from the three cities have had an opportunity to learn more from the <br /> County. Ms. Hopkins noted that this was a regional issue and something that staff has been <br /> working on since August 2016. <br /> Ms. Hopkins commented on the Legal Assistance for Senior program and services being <br /> provided to help with issues of seniors being evicted from their homes. <br /> Commissioner Sedlak commented on the lack of a report from Easter Seals Bay Area on what <br /> they had done with the funding they had received the previous year. Ms. Hopkins indicated <br /> that she would provide this at the next meeting. <br /> Ms. Hopkins commented on how City Serve has been an integral part of providing services <br /> within the community and are filling gaps by helping individuals. She advised that key partners <br /> of the organization are faith-based, and indicated that the Human Services Needs Assessment <br /> Strategic Plan encouraged better collaboration between the City and the faith-based <br /> community for support and delivery of human services. City Serve is providing services that <br /> are of much value to the city. <br /> Commissioner Wright indicated that she would like to provide some funding for the Sunflower <br /> Hill Gardens/Capital Gardens Op Equipment project. Commissioners Roby and Sedlak agreed <br /> and thought the project met the Commission priority. They also discussed the residential <br /> program. Commissioner Hayes thought this might be a better fit for consideration by the Youth <br /> Commission. <br /> Commissioner Parekh felt that food and shelter were the basic projects that the Commission <br /> should be considered. <br /> Human Services Commission <br /> March 1, 2017 <br /> Page 6 <br />
