SocialServiceHumanRelationsBoard | 2008-04-24 | 2 | Regular Minutes of the SSHRB, April 24, 2008 Meeting Page 2 Wasko - Member Franz is absent. He asked that I announce that the Alameda Services Collaborative luncheon will be in May and they need a topic. Please email Franz with any ideas for topics. Family Services Workgroup - President Wasko - Nothing to report. Sister City Workgroup - Vice-President Chen reported that they have not met in the last three weeks; the end of May is the next meeting. We are still on target to transition the work group to a non profit, and we will continue to work on the spin-off process for a non-profit but funding and staff time are needed. Frank Matarrese suggested that some funding for a non-profit spin off could come from the general fund, but with the current crunch in budget it is unclear if that will happen. Mayor of Jiaying, China is planning to visit with a government and business delegation possibly as early as June, pending his VISA approval. The delegation will be five persons from health services including the Director of Education, foreign affairs and the Peoples Congress along with five business men. Jiaying needs two invitation letters from our Mayor, one for the businessmen and one for city officials. Auschio, El Salvador has been working with St. Phillip Neri and a trip is planned to Auschio for three weeks in July. Wasko - -Mayor Beverley Johnson spoke at the Lunar New Year festival and the workgroup also had dinner with the Chinese consulate recently. Nielsen - Inquired about the services learning program at the Peralta system. James reported there is nothing consolidated and programs offer on and off campus opportunities. The program works much like the AmeriCorps Program. 3-B. PARTICIPATION IN MAYOR'S 4TH OF JULY PARADE: President Wasko reported in Franz's absence. The July 4th trolley is the Board's highest visibility event and the primary method of communicating the Boards presence to the people of Alameda. A maximum expenditure authorization of $1000.00 for the trolley is being requested. The annual trolley costs are shared and used by both the R.A.C.E. folks and this group. There is a donation from the RACE folks annually, this year will be a minimum of $250. Any additional donation will offset the Board's share of trolley expenses. The increasing prices of fuel have raised the anticipated cost of the float. Motion to allocate $1000.00 maximum for the 4th of July parade. M/S Wasko, Villareal and unanimous. Nielsen - What are the rules for a "green" parade? Wasko - This is a question for the parade committee. 3-C. UPCOMING BOARD MEETING SCHEDULE: Wasko suggested the Board discuss possible topics for future meetings. She asked the Board if they had any particular topics in which they would like further education, or if they would like to hear from any particular speakers. She mentioned the possibility of a follow-up with Mona Breed, Executive Director, Sentinel Fair Housing on housing discrimination. In the March 2008 Social Service Human Relations Board meeting, there was discussion around how to best encourage single unit landlords to attend workshops on fair housing laws. | SocialServiceHumanRelationsBoard/2008-04-24.pdf |
