CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2019-01-16 | 5 | ITEM 2-B COMMISSION ON DISABILITY MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, January 16, 2019, 6:30 PM revenues of $624,272 to work with. The expenditures, the management would be $66,439. Customer service would be $38,000. Trip provision, $319,500. Capital improvements would be $120,000. And those would total $543,939 leaving us reserves of $80,333. And none of this comes from the general fund, it's all Measure B and Measure BB funding. Victoria Williams: And the next page shows our planning process. We did a survey in December, we're still analyzing that. We were really pleased that we got 178 responses and for the most part, things are good. We have a few suggestions. Some of them are really good ones, some of them are very creative and I wish we could do but we'll be analyzing those to see which ones are really feasible. And then we'll be coming to the commission meetings, the Transportation Commission and the Commission on Disabilities. Thank you. Rec and Park Commission, Human Services Social Services, Human Relations Board. And then our program plan which is our grant application is due earlier this year, it's due at the end of February rather than the end of March so we're working on that now. And that is it. Do you have questions for us? Chair Elizabeth Kenny: Thank you very much, I really appreciate all of your hard work. And I want to also mention that you forgot in your outreach to mention that you guys were in the Fourth of July Parade this year. Victoria Williams: Yes, we were. Thank you. You saw us? Boy. That's a longer parade than I thought since we were walking and handing out things. It was fun, it was really fun. So thank you, I'll have to remember and put that in the next one. Chair Elizabeth Kenny: Yes, I enjoyed seeing you guys there. I do have a few questions that I just wanted to ask about. Victoria Williams: Sure. Chair Elizabeth Kenny: The emergency wheelchair breakdown service, can you tell me a little bit more about that? We did have somebody inquiring about this service. What is that? I don't know even, actually know what it entails. How do you get somebody who has a wheelchair that's broken down to get it repaired? What does that involve? Victoria Williams: Well, we would have to do some major marketing to let people know that we've got this service available because the previous program had little stickers that people put on their wheelchairs, so you had the phone number right there. And so let's say one of our riders goes to Oakland to go to church and while they're there, their wheelchair, maybe it's a motorized chair, doesn't work. They can't get home, it can't be pushed to the AC Transit. They can't get home. Victoria Williams: So that would entail, our vision of this and we're still working with the funder because they did it in the past. We're trying to get all of their information, how many rides, how much did it cost. What words were used in your contract? We're hoping our taxi company, they could call the taxi company and the taxi company which has accessible vehicles could come and pick them up and then take them and their chair home. So it would be a simple, smooth thing if it works as well as we hope it does. 03/13/19 Page 5 of 16 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2019-01-16.pdf |
