does take people from other area but tries to remain available for local people and work with other shelters because of safety issues. Additionally, Ms. Dillman commented on the assistance provided to clients. Commissioners discussed with Ms. Dillman services provided to Pleasanton residents and how Tri-Valley Haven prioritizes the services needed. Commissioner Hayes asked commissioners to revisit the staff recommendation for Hope Hospice, not on the services they provide but on the earlier comment made regarding the amount of funds they have in the bank. She indicated she would like to learn more about this, and Commissioner Bedegi wondered if the funds were for something special. Commissioner Rubino-Brumm stated she would like more funds to be allocated for the Tri-Valley Haven Food Pantry program and Commissioner Powers wondered if Tri-Valley Haven would be willing to take funds from one of their other programs. Ms. Dillman indicated that Tri-Valley Haven would prefer that funds remain as recommended by staff. Commissioner Bedegi commented on the increase in funding requested by Tri-Valley Haven for their food pantry program and Commissioner Rubino-Brumm discussed the increase in food prices that many families are experiencing. Chairperson Carlucci asked if commissioners wished to reconsider any other staff funding recommendations and Commissioner Bedegi felt the numbers for Chabot-LP programs was low and the programs they provide were critical. Commissioner Powers felt consideration should be given to providing some funding for the Assistance League. Commissioner Hayes stated that she agreed with the recommendation made by Commissioner Rubino-Brumm to increase the funding amount for the Tri-Valley Haven's food pantry program. Commissioner Powers felt the Tri-Valley Haven food pantry program was more important that the Assistant League program and Commissioner Bedegi questioned if funds could be taken from other agencies to fund both and suggested decreasing the funding recommended for Hope Hospice. Commissioner Rubino-Brumm was advised by Mr. Ingram that it was staff's recommendation that funding be kept to a minimum of $5,000 per grant and Commissioner Hayes felt small funding amounts may not help the agencies in executing their programs. Commissioner Rubino-Brumm suggested allocating $2,500 to both the Assistance League and Hope Hospice and Commissioner Powers agreed. Commissioner Hayes also agreed with the suggestion but indicated she would also like to increase the amount for the Chabot-LP EITC Support Program. Commissioner Bedegi was concerned that the information she had commented on regarding the bank balance of Hope Hospice may be incorrect. She suggested taking $1,000 from one of the Human Services Commission Minutes March 2,20222 Page 6
