Report on Speaker for Water/Sewer Rates Superintendent Hartman reported that she spoke with General Services Director Peter Ingram about having someone talk to the Commission about this subject. Mr. Ingram is involved with the water/sewer rates committee and said he and William Adams would be delighted to speak at our March meeting. Supervisor Kucala suggested having them also speak to the AARP and the Fun After Fifty groups on the same subject. Report on HiCap's Liability Exemption Commissioner Lloyd said he spoke with a HiCap representative who explained that they get their insurance through RSVP. Any volunteer worker is covered under RSVP but they must have their own insurance in order to be covered. RSVP will then cover the difference between the volunteer's coverage and RSVP's. He explained that there is a bill coming before the legislature shortly regarding liability for volunteers and he will obtain more information and report back to the Commission. He noted that this matter is on the "Top 10" issues for the Senior Legislature. Commissioner Jordan will also work on putting something together on this subject. ITEM 2-TRANSPORTATION Chairperson Anthony said that Supervisor Kucala has created forms to be used at the senior centers to report any transportation problems. These forms will be forwarded to him so that he can take them back to the PCC for follow up. No transportation complaints were received during January. ITEM 3-TRAINING FOR COMMISSIONERS Superintendent Hartman reported that she, Supervisor Kucala, Center Coordinator Magda Gonzalez, Supervisor Harmon and other staff liaisons for the City's boards and commissions met recently with the Assistant City Manager to discuss possible training for board and commission members. She asked the Commissioners what types of information would they like to see covered during a training workshop. The Commissioners discussed the proposed workshop and felt it was a good idea. They suggested discussing the Brown Act, parliamentary procedure (formal vs. informal), how to run an effective meeting, and the relationships with other commissions/boards. They all would like to see the training held for two hours in the evening (with the exception of Tuesdays) but not on a Saturday. Superintendent Hartman said she would take back their suggestions to the committee.
