Attendant Care Subcommittee Minutes August 19, 1994 Members present: Brad Cogdill, Glen Ellingsberg, Mary Hall, Kathy Hogan, Nancy Horton The group reviewed the charges to the sub-committee which was to develop a short and long term plan for Attendant Care based on the established requirements and caseloads. First we reviewed the Attendant Care requirements. For the first client served, 80 square feet are required and for every additional client an additional 50 square feet are needed. During the past year up to 8 clients have been seen at one time, so the group agreed that we should try to secure at least 500 square feet for long term stability. The long term ~ptions ~ere discussed first. After reviewing the layout for the basement, it was agreed that the best option would be to use the current sheriff's evidence room, if it complies with program and code requirements. There was some concern about the ex it and entrance through the EFNET kit chen if it were used. Possibly a second entrance can be added through the Women's restroom area. The short term use of the small conference room was discussed. It was agreed that during the construct ion phase, that opt ion is feasible without major cost or inconvenient. The large table will be moved into the large meeting room. It is not the intention of the group that the small conference room will be the long term solution and if the long term option outlined is not feasible, then the group will re-convene to look for other long term options. To implement this plan the following steps will be taken: 1. The County Commission wi 11 be asked to approve the short- term Attendant Care plan on September 6, 1994 as directed by the Space and Planning Commission. 2. Nancy will contact Terry Traynor, NDAC's to discuss the long-term solution and to seek his assistance in reviewing the plan to ensure that it meets funding requirements. He will also be asked to provide financial assistance for remodeling costs. 3. Kathy Hogan wi 11 contact Terry Stroh to review any architectural barriers or code problems. If the long-term option appears feasible a proposal will be developed with the task force, Terry Traynor and Terry Stroh. The group will re-convene as needed.
