ITEM 3-FOLLOW-UP ON PEER COUNSELING UPDATE Supervisor Griffiths explained that due to the many problems the Veterans Memorial Senior Center has been experiencing with their nutrition program, neither she nor Marianne Mannia have been able to make any progress on this matter. Commissioners Lloyd, Newell and Supervisor Griffith will meet to discuss further. ITEM 1-FOLLOW-UP REPORT REGARDING CONCERNS ON HOUSING ISSUES Chairperson Anthony stated that he and Commissioners Lloyd and Newell attended the last Housing and Human Concerns Committee (HHCC) meeting and informed the Commission the HHCC will be changing the way they disburse funds. They will be combining the funding request process for both the Financial Assistance program and the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The next HHCC meeting will be a public hearing scheduled for December 15 and will be held in the old Library. Chairperson Anthony will attend this meeting and report back to the Commission. Chairperson Anthony said he spoke to Debbi Jones-Thomas regarding the roof repair and cable TV issues at a local senior housing complex. She indicated that her department has the mechanism to resolve these problems and not involve any of the senior residents. Commissioner Newell suggested having Ms. Jones-Thomas contact Bonnie Brae Terrace to find out how they handled the installation of cable TV for its residents. Chairperson Anthony will contact Derek White of the San Mateo County Housing Authority to follow up on a list of low income housing available in the County. He will also contact Cornish and Carey Real Estate to obtain copies of their booklet entitled "Where to Live". ITEM 5-TRANSPORTATION Commissioner Lloyd stated the Veterans Memorial Senior Advisory Council has put funds aside for the purchase of the bus/van. Superintendent Hartman reported that Jan Knight met with a representative from the California Highway Patrol and Larry Barwacz of the Auto Shop to discuss the purchase of a bus/van for the accessible recreation program. The CHP representative would not commit to any information about the license requirements changing in 1995. Superintendent Hartman said she has many serious concerns about the transportation issue and feel they need to be discussed further before the purchase of the bus/van.
