Attachment 2 <br /> Chairperson Parikh closed the meeting for requested presentations at 7:03 p.m. and <br /> opened it for other public comment at 7:04 p.m. <br /> Legal Assistance for Seniors — Dan Ashbrook — provided information about their Housing <br /> Eviction Program and the services they are able to provide by providing intervention help. <br /> Sunflower Hill — Pamela Zielske — provided some clarification to information that had been <br /> provided in question 25 of the grant funding application, advising that they expect to provide <br /> 2,000 teaching hours to clients in the City of Pleasanton. <br /> Chairperson Parikh closed the meeting for public comment at 7:08 p.m. <br /> Commissioners agreed to review and discuss each of the funding requests. <br /> Tri-Valley Haven <br /> Commissioner Clare indicated that she was uncomfortable that the Tri-Valley Haven project <br /> has been ongoing and allocated funds have just been unused. Commissioner Wright noted <br /> that the services provided by this organization are unique and funds had not been used <br /> because of unusual circumstances. She noted that staff from both the cities of Pleasanton and <br /> Livermore have been working with the agency. <br /> Commissioner Clare felt if there were competing funding requests that the commission may be <br /> required to think differently about considering recommending more funding for this project. <br /> Mr. Hernández commented on the use of CDBG funds and needing to expend funds in a <br /> timely manner. He noted that the cities of Livermore and Pleasanton and the Tri-Valley Haven <br /> are all aware of the limit requirements for using the funds for this project. <br /> Commissioner Hayes wondered how the commission could figure a parameter and range for <br /> using funds. Mr. Ingram indicated that staff thought the project could be around $800,000 and <br /> may even be more. Mr. Hernandez advised that local funds are being allocated for the project <br /> by the City of Livermore and there is a contingency fund for the project. <br /> CityServe <br /> Commissioner Wright questioned staff on how they had arrived at the recommended funding <br /> amount for CityServe. Mr. Ingram and Mr. Hernandez provided information and advised they <br /> had spoken with the City of Livermore about the funding they would be providing but did not <br /> know what the funding budget would be from HUD. <br /> Axis Community Health <br /> No comments. <br /> Open Heart Kitchen <br /> No comments. <br /> Spectrum <br /> Human Services Commission <br /> March 6, 2019 <br /> Page 4 <br />
