ITEM 2-HOUSING <br /> -Assisted Living Units in Redwood City <br /> Commissioner Newell agreed to put together some information about the <br /> current assisted living units in Redwood City and will check with Debbi <br /> Jones-Thomas. Commissioner Newell felt it is necessary to define what <br /> "assisted living" means and Supervisor Griffith felt it would also be necessary <br /> to define "long term care". Commissioner Newell will put together a report <br /> on the current status of assisted living units in Redwood City for the October <br /> meeting. Commissioner Capone suggested making a presentation to the <br /> Housing and Human Concerns Committee based on the information <br /> Commissioner Newell gathers. <br /> -Criteria for Eligibility <br /> Superintendent Hartman said that because Federal funds are used for many <br /> of the City's housing projects, the City cannot make residency an application <br /> requirement. Commissioner Newell questioned the source of funds for the <br /> City's various housing projects and will check with Debbi Jones-Thomas for <br /> additional clarification. <br /> Commissioner Moran announced she recently attended a presentation by <br /> Senior Fellow John Cogan at the Hoover Institute. Mr. Cogan stated that <br /> elderly growth is the slowest it has been in this country's history but in a few <br /> years will change dramatically due to the baby boomers coming of age. <br /> ITEM 3-TRANSPORTATION REPORT <br /> -Educational Forum <br /> Commissioner Newell gave the Commissioners his plan for educational <br /> forums for older adults in Redwood City. He plans to contact senior groups to <br /> obtain their feedback about Rediwheels so he can put together his <br /> presentation. Jack Anthony said he felt we need to determine the seniors <br /> who really need transportation. <br /> Jack Anthony reported on the Paratransit Coordinating Council's <br /> (PCC) retreat. The purpose of the retreat was to determine PCC's role and <br /> future plans. He explained that PCC is an organization for the users, not the <br /> providers. He announced that transportation provider Mayflower will be <br /> taken over by Laidlaw. <br /> Superintendent Hartman will provide the Commissioners with the <br /> background information regarding the van/transportation process at the <br /> November meeting. <br />
