� a � <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bird, that the Board approve <br />the recommendation of the staff, as indicated <br />in the August 5, 1982 memo from Patrick Bruce <br />King, Community Development Director. <br />Commissioner Fletcher stated he would like to offer an <br />alternative - that the County make Alison DeGenero, of <br />Neighbors Helping Neighbors, the provider. He suggested <br />that Mr. DeGenero be compensated at $5 a year and that he <br />create a transportation squad. <br />Commissioner Fletcher AMENDED THE MOTION, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, that the <br />provider be Alison DeGenero in lieu of the <br />Council on Aging. <br />Commissioner Wodtke commented he knew that Mr. DeGenero <br />had never been one to accept federal funds to run a program. <br />Commissioner Bird reviewed the background of how the <br />State requested the County to come up with a plan for <br />transporting the disadvantaged. He added that if the County <br />did not, it could have the problem of jeopardizing the <br />transportation segment as well as the funds for road <br />improvements. After much consideration, it was determined <br />that the Council on Aging was the most qualified with the <br />best staff to proceed. Commissioner Bird commented that to <br />ask Mr. DeGenero to take on the additional responsibility of <br />transporting people in wheelchairs and those who are <br />physically handicapped would be a tremendous shift of burden <br />to suddenly go to the volunteer segment. He further <br />explained that the DOT has made available $4,000, in the <br />AUG 18 1982 36 9VX 51 PACE 55 <br />
