Attachment 2 <br /> Commissioner Wright commented on the City of Pleasanton's involvement in the Early Literacy <br /> Diaper Pantry and Commissioner Hayes felt more funding should be allocated for the <br /> Behavioral Health Care Services. <br /> NAMI Tri-Valley — NAMI Tri-Valley Grant Application <br /> Commissioner Wright commented on the need for the commission to look at overlapping of <br /> services. Commissioner Parekh felt the commission needed to determine where they could <br /> come up with funding for the group. He was concerned the group would stop meeting if they <br /> did not receive funding because they are a volunteer group rather than one with paid <br /> employees. <br /> Commissioner Sedlak asked about a member of the organization's board being a City Council <br /> member. Mr. Ingram advised that this issue is being addressed by the City Attorney. <br /> Commissioners discussed differences between business run organizations and those run by <br /> volunteers. <br /> Commissioner Carlucci commented on providing additional funding for Child Care Links. He <br /> was informed that they had also applied for funding from the cities of Livermore and Dublin. <br /> Commissioners discussed funding allocation percentages and moving around some of the staff <br /> recommended amounts. <br /> Commissioner Hayes noted that NAMI had indicated they had funding available for two more <br /> years and commented on when CityServe had first applied for funds. Commissioner Wright <br /> felt that NAMI fit the criteria on behavioral health and Commissioner Parekh discussed reasons <br /> that CityServe meets funding requirements. <br /> Commissioner Carlucci questioned whether unused Capital funds were in an interest-bearing <br /> account. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Clare, seconded by Commissioner Wright, <br /> recommending grant funds for Fiscal Year 2019/2020 as recommended in Attachment 1 with <br /> the following modifications: <br /> $4,100 increase for CityServe — Crisis Intervention-Sheltered Residents <br /> $1,000 increase for Legal Assistance for Seniors — Legal Assistance <br /> $ 850 increase for Easter Seals Bay Area — Kaleidoscope Community Adult Program <br /> $1,600 increase for Hope Hospice — Grief Support Center & Hospice Volunteer Program <br /> ROLL CALL VOTE: <br /> AYES: Commissioners Clare and Wright <br /> NOES: Commissioners Carlucci, Hayes, Parekh, Sedlak, and Chairperson Parikh <br /> ABSENT: Commissioner Rubino Brumm <br /> ABSTAIN: None <br /> The motion failed. <br /> Human Services Commission <br /> March 6, 2019 <br /> Page 6 <br />
