The Transportation Provider may act in a number of capacities while fullfilling the provision of Chapter 427, Rule 41. After discussions at the July 30,1982, workshop. it was recommended that the Council on Aging be appointed as the Transportation Provider. Application will be made for any available grant funds. In addition, the Council on Aging will utilize a volunteer who will provide detailed inventory of routes, vehicles, and client needs. This information will be utilized to determine the Transportation Provider first year goals and objectives. The Council on Aging will then act as the Trans- portation Provider for one year after the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement. RECOMMENDATION: In order to meet its contractual obligation as the Local Plan- ning Organization (LPO) and to fulfill the requirement of Chapter 427, staff recommends the following actions: 1) The Board of County Commissioners approve the Coordinated Transportation Development Plan. 2) The Board of County Commissioners appoint the Council on Aging as the Transportation Provider at a regular Com- mission meeting on August 18, 1982.
