Motion passed. (6-yes, 1-no) <br /> ITEM 4-TRANSPORTATION <br /> Commissioner Newell said he passed out a plan in September suggesting that <br /> some of the Commissioners meet with key senior groups at senior centers <br /> and at senior housing locations to discuss their problems with the <br /> Redi-Wheels program. He asked that someone from Redi-Wheels come to a <br /> future transportation forum to discuss their program. Commissioner Newell <br /> said he was continuing to work on organizing a transportation forum. <br /> ITEM 5-HOUSING <br /> Commissioner Newell said he spoke to Debbi Jones-Thomas, the Housing <br /> and Human Concerns Committee and Bob Bury concerning his proposal for <br /> older adults in HUD-sponsored housing. The program is designed for frail <br /> seniors who are not eligible for Medi-Cal but are forced to use up all their <br /> funds in order to pay for housing, or be forced to go into a nursing home. In <br /> order to keep these seniors out of a nursing home, Commissioner Newell <br /> would like to begin a pilot program where the City would contract at an <br /> affordable rate to bring someone in to help provide needed services to these <br /> seniors. He will continue his work on this matter. <br /> ANNOUNCEMENTS <br /> -Superintendent Hartman announced the Grand Opening of the new Red <br /> Morton Center to be held on Saturday, January 20 from 10am-4pm, with the <br /> dedication ceremony to begin at 11:00am.
