are other resource data materials coming in. These will help determine directions in <br />which to explore such as mental health and medical services. These cross all age levels <br />and economic strata. There is a large service gap that will only increase as the population <br />ages. <br /> <br />Mr. Brozosky asked about the City of Dublin's participation. <br /> <br /> Ms. Morley said Dublin is involved in the study because the impact of the <br />situation is regionally. Dublin currently does not have the funding mechanisms that <br />Pleasanton has and does not have a Human Services Commission. Dublin is supportive <br />of the study and is involved in some of the regional advocacy. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brozosky asked about working on a subcommittee and the goal setting <br />process. <br /> <br /> Ms. Morley hoped that the commissions would hear from the subcommittee about <br />good short term and achievable projects and some long-range goals that can be achieved <br />regionally. Each city would establish its own goals. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brozosky said part of the services needed in the community is support of the <br />people in need and seniors. Is there any concern that if there are more subsidized housing <br />and senior housing that more services are required? <br /> <br /> Ms. McKeehan said the impact is coming from the people who are already <br />residents in the community. There are a number of people who are aging and wanting to <br />stay in the community. <br /> <br /> Ms. Morley said the reason the Human Services Commission meets with the <br />Housing Commission is to explore how best to use CDBG Block Grant funds to best <br />serve the community. <br /> <br /> Mayor Pico said he is supportive of the Human Services Commission <br />recommendation, but was not supportive of recommending the findings be used to <br />establish the funding priorities. He wanted to leave the flexibility with the Human <br />Services Commission to make those recommendations, rather than have them specifically <br />tied to the report. It gives everyone more flexibility. <br /> <br /> Ms. McKeehan said this was the beginning of the process to do just that and to <br />provide guidance and the ability to pick priorities because of the additional information <br />available. It is the same concept as the Youth Master Plan where the priorities are set. <br /> <br /> Ms. Morley said she saw it as an opportunity through the subcommittee process <br />for regional advocacy as well as local opportunity advocacy toward change and to <br />actually see tangible process and results. From the RFP process the model talks about <br />using this tool to set funding priorities to advocate for resources. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 20 <br />Minutes <br /> <br />09.02.03 <br /> <br /> <br />
