<br />Administration, Section 2.1 (Use of Electronic Means to Provide Public

<br />(G -2) Human Services (Transportation Division) - Approval of Additional
<br />Positions for JARC Grant and Related Budget Amendment - $68,443.00
<br />Stephen Cude, Transportation Supervisor, presented data on the number
<br />of trips made using the JARC (Job Access Reverse Commute) grant funds. It
<br />was noted that of the 20,000 annual trips made, over 50 percent are for
<br />vocational rehabilitation clients and the Department has a waiting list with
<br />14 additional clients. Mr. Cude also responded to questions from the Board.
<br />The following information was set forth in the agenda:
<br />The JARC (Job Access Reverse Commute) grant was approved and
<br />provides funding for two new drivers, one full time and one part
<br />time. These positions, along with all the JARC positions, are
<br />funded for a two -year period ending June 30, 2014. As long as
<br />the funds are received by the County, the positions will continue
<br />to be funded. A budget revision is attached to re- allocate all
<br />grants funds received by the County for the JARC, 5310 and 5311
<br />grants. The end result of the reallocation is $81,364.00 of
<br />excess funds which are being transferred to the Commissioners'
<br />contingency line item.
<br />Mr. Cude and Mike Downs, County Manager, responded to a variety of
<br />questions from the Board during a lengthy discussion. Bob Bushy,
<br />Transportation Coordinator, was also in attendance.
<br />Citing the national debt, Vice Chairman Burrage expressed opposition to
<br />using Federal grant funds for the JARC program; however, he was in favor of
<br />using local monies to fund the program. Exclusive of the vocational
<br />rehabilitation riders, Commissioner Measmer expressed opposition to using
<br />Federal dollars to transport able - bodied adults to and from work.
<br />Commissioner Carruth addressed the cost of cab fare in relation to the
<br />minimum wage and applauded the able— bodied adults that use subsidized
<br />transportation to go to work instead of going on welfare.
<br />Commissioner White MOVED to adopt the budget amendment and approve two
<br />new driver positions, one full -time driver and one part -time driver, grade
<br />57, step 1. Commissioner Carruth seconded the motion.
<br />Following statements of support for the program from Commissioner
<br />White, the MOTION carried with Chairman Poole and Commissioners Carruth and
<br />White voting for and Vice Chairman Burrage and Commissioner Measmer voting
<br />against.
