BOOK U PAGE Chairman Eggert inquired if any of these grant dollars would go to "dial -a -ride" and Director Keating responded in the affirmative. He explained that"dial-a-ride" is really part of the fixed route system now since the Council on Aging revised its fixed route system. It is now consolidated and the "dial -a -ride" system compliments the fixed route system by feeding into the fixed route system. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, she closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Ginn, SECONDED BY Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously adopted Resolution No. 97-144 authorizing the filing of an application with the United States Department of Transportation for a grant under 49 USC Chapter 53, Section 5307, as recommended in the Memorandum.
