Community services staff delivered program updates and asked the council for volunteer help and outreach support.
Staff said senior day-care rates increased July 1 and noted rates will be adjusted each fiscal year going forward. "As of July, they'll go up each fiscal year," staff said, and reminded members that the Placerville club continues to have availability for adults who need daytime supervision or dementia-related services. Staff also reviewed congregate dining and home-delivered meal operations across the county.
On volunteer needs, staff described the YANA (You Are Not Alone) check-in program and said volunteers cover weekday and weekend call shifts; staff emphasized the need for a volunteer to cover a Saturday morning slot (about 9:30 to 10 a.m.) and explained that volunteers typically call from home using remote call-forwarding.
Members exchanged updates about community events and resources: Marshall Hospital is hosting a kids summer health fair on Saturday, July 25, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Marshall Pediatrics, 4341 Golden Center Drive, Suite A, with screenings and community partners; members encouraged promotion and volunteer support for the event.
Separately, members reported on an emergency disaster resource center being developed by the county food bank in Cameron Park. Council participants said the center will store donated supplies and equipment, include a commercial kitchen and classroom space, and be available to support emergency responses (for example, as a staging site or cooling/warming center) though it was not presented as an evacuation shelter at this time. "We will have all the resources to set up an evacuation center if need be," a presenter said, while adding that use as a full evacuation site would require further planning with the sheriff's office and OES.
Other member reports included progress on Title 25 homes (the second home nearly complete, with a goal of seven homes this year), local Firewise activity and a successful Firewise barbecue fundraiser, and plans for a Sept. 23 field trip to NAMI immediately after the council meeting. The council adjourned at 11:00 a.m.
