AARC Workgroup meeting for the AAQoL Tuesday , January 14th, 12:00pm -1:00 pm In attendance: Vince Cobalis, Sona Shah, Leanna Kallivoka, Assistant director, PARD), Laura Esparza, Riley Triggs (Public Works Project Manager), Debasree DasGupta. 1. Discussion on the AARC Phase 11 Master plan: The PARD team is preparing a response to Schiller Liao’s proposal regarding the timeline, which should be available to us for the Commission meeting on the 21st. They are still in the early stages of the development of the project. It is not always feasible to have the entire process happening in parallel. but they will consider alternative delivery methods provided it is approved by the city council. Bridge : Proceeding with current design. Watershed had shown interest but cannot fund it if it is built by someone else. The bridge could be constructed faster using the bond funds so this is a discussion that needs to happen as this would eat into the bond funds. 2/3. Senior Programs/ Transportation: The Center is moving forward with Meals on Wheels for this program. The contract needs to be re-written and some other aspects taken care of before the transition, hopefully by April. The CAPCOG contract requires finalization before transition. The existing vendors have been made aware of the change that is about to happen. 4. Performance reports: (please see attached) Foundations Communities will again be providing tax-clinics for those in need. The clients do have language support but will have to make appointments in order to run the clinics smoothly. 5. AARC special projects: The Exercise equipment for the Seniors have been installed along with several picnic benches. The garden still seems to be thriving. 7. HR Report: (please see attached) Meeting was adjourned at 1: 25pm.
