Chairperson Moran volunteered to be our representative. <br /> ITEM 1 - UPDATE ON TARGET EDUCATION AND WELFARE COUNCIL, <br /> FAIR OAKS SENIOR CENTER ISSUES <br /> Superintendent Centeno provided the Commissioners with a copy of Family <br /> Service Agency's first monthly report for the month of July. The report <br /> indicated that Family Services Agency (FSA) is serving an average of 37 <br /> meals per day at the Fair Oaks Senior Center. Superintendent Centeno noted <br /> she was pleased that the nutrition site and other regular activities have not <br /> stopped since the changeover of provider. Work still needs to be done to <br /> increase numbers of attendees and to increase offerings. Because FSA is not <br /> operating the Fair Oaks Senior Center van, they are working with Rediwheels <br /> to provide transportation for seniors to the Center. Both City staff and <br /> Family Services Agency need to open discussions on alternative <br /> transportation ideas. <br />
