(DISCUSSION) Reports back from individuals regarding their assigned tasks from the last meeting.
a. M. Lui to report corrected costs projections of bed rental.
Lui passed out an amended cost analysis (to include the staffing left off the last week’s chart). The costs for operating LCR at 30 beds was 2.33 mil, 45 beds was 2.7 mi, 60 beds was 3.13 mil, 75 beds was 3.76 mil, 84 beds was 4.12 mil.
The Chief said that the TANF grant was reinstated, but she didn’t know if it was TANF Ranch funds.
Comm Queen asked the Chief and Mark to calculate the difference and impact that TANF would have on this cost chart.
B. Johnston said that $4,300/bed would be a workable price for rental.
b. update on possible transportation arrangements for CBOs.
There was none
c. updates on other assigned tasks: clean up date, tennis court and other athletic equipment concerns, brochure, vocational programs.
M Gilchrist reported in D. Sanders’ absence. She said that Sanders had met with VisionYouthz about doing an aftercare program and would present that plan once he got it passed by the Chief. He has not yet had a chance to have the Chief review the substance abuse and vocational programs. This will be presented next week.
J. Berkowitz reported on the costs for the softball activity, and had already submitted it to the Volunteer Auxiliary. They will consider some support. Comm Queen mentioned that Comm Hale also has some contact for these and would like to review their proposal.
There needs to be some equipment (bats, balls, mitts) added to the list.
Liz Jackson-Simpon suggested they be in touch with the Rec and Park Dept about getting the sod from Candlestick Park. Comm Queen asked her to follow up on this.
There was a list of pool equipment also needed.
Comm Queen asked for a prioritization of the things they want done, so we can see what things can be done internally, what needs to be done by others, and what perhaps the Mayor needs to do (the Mayor took copious notes at his visit there, and gave them to Murlene Randle. Comm Stiglich will contact her about them.
M. Gilchrist showed a June calendar, which included a schedule of maintenance that can be done by work crews at LCR (youth and staff).
Gilchrist also mentioned the need for resurfacing the tennis courts, new nets and lights for playing at night.
Comm Stiglich commended them on the creation of the work crews because there is enough grounds cleaning and clearing to be done, that they can do themselves.
The large grassy area needs to be mowed with a tractor pulling a mower.
M. Gilchrist said they were planning on a volunteer clean up day at LCR the last Saturday of July. The Dept might provide a van to transport volunteers.
Comm Queen asked the Chief to direct Don Sanders to put together a prioritized list of all the things that needed to be done and what the Dept could do.
J. Fithian mentioned that there are plenty of tools down there (left from SLUG) for use that day.
J. Fithian presented another draft of the LCR brochure, and was commended by Comm Queen on its creativity.
A price slip could be inserted into it. Comm Queen wanted to see more detail on the vocational and other services. While it can be more general and “generic” there needs to be enough meat in it for others to know specifically what they can expect.
Comm Stiglich said that they need to decide whom the target audience is, in order to make this brochure appropriate.
The Chief has been using LCR as an alternative to CYO as the selling point.
L. Jackson-Simpson said that Vicki Rega, the photo teacher, has some funds left in her contract, which might be available for printing this brochure, if it can be done in the next couple of weeks.
Comm Queen asked for a further distillation of this by the next meeting.
Comm Queen asked the Chief to report on the reclassification issue. She reported that they would not include the 8316s. There is still the difference between 8320 and 8321 (7.5%). 8318s would be changed, but then they would need to be backfilled. She emailed Mercy to do a cost analysis of the merging. She has not responded yet. The model they will use is Contra Costa County’s. She did not have an idea of when this process could be completed.
