ft In response to Commissioner Adams, Chairman Eggert advised that north county had not been forgotten. It was felt that the Dial -A -Ride would be heavily used up there. She thought that emergency rides would be worked out on a case-by-case basis. She advised that Yellow Cab is also involved under contract with Council on Aging. She was uncertain of the costs for Dial -A -Ride, it would be low, Medicaid requires $1.00. Commissioner Tippin advised that what he hears most frequently at the MPO meetings is about low ridership on buses. This is true for all over the United States, except maybe in New York. Chairman Eggert credited staff and Arlene Fletcher for working to bring this all about and for working with great cooperation. 13.A.3.

She has suddenly been getting calls and she wanted to definitely say that she had permanently made a decision that she will not be running again and if anyone hears of anyone running for her district to please give them every consideration in terms of helping them.

GIFFORD PARK RENTAL WAIVER REQUEST FOR GIFFORD YOUTH ACTIVITIES CENTER FUND-RAISER Commissioner Adams advised that she had received a request to waive the $100 fee for the use of the park for the presentation of the fund-raiser for the Gifford Youth Activities Center. Freddie Woolfork, executive director of the Gifford Youth Activities Center, requested the waiver and assured the Board that all proceeds from the activity would go toward the Center. The committee is presently in the process of soliciting funds from area businesses in order to make this a successful fund raiser. They will appreciate any help the Board can give. Chairman Eggert thought it was appropriate to grant this waiver. 63 OCTOBER 28, 1997 60CIK NJ` F�a,4'U
