10:31:37 AM	Andy Votava, Organizational Development and Jane Smelser, ODOT - Discuss Rural Transportation	Sara Osterhout and Brent Ton (Hospice) were also present for the discussion. Mr. Votava opened the discussion this morning and introduced Ms. Smelser. Vond explained how long and what all has led to this discussion and what the need is in the county. It is an issue yet to be resolved. Jane stated she has brought some materials with her this morning and expressed appreciation for the invitation. She explained coordination with local agencies should come first. Their program helps to set up a structure and possibly the county would want to have a broker for a program. Jane presented a handbook and a guide for implementing. Annual applications are required. Budget cuts are targeting this program and next year they will not be accepting any new applicants. She noted that the Hands of Grace (Delta) is a participant in the 53/10 program to purchase vehicles. There is a statewide task force to break down territorial barriers. Jane also presented a handout to help determine if a rural transit system (53/11 program) would be beneficial. First year for potential funding availability would be 2008. She also indicated that Henry County participates in a coordination project if the Board would like to visit or talk with a contact person. Jane suggested some different ways of providing match monies. Contract revenues would be able to be used. Andy explained how a rural transportation system worked in Miami County and that it was self-sufficient with no general fund monies used. Commissioners delegated a contract to a community action group. Jane added several other ideas as well. Commissioner Graf asked about county liability if a not for profit entity were to have any mishap with their vehicle. Jane said there would be no county liability. Mr. Ton explained his experiences with the application process and that it would help in the acceptance if there were more entities using or needing the services. Other new funding was discussed by Jane. She commented that all funding does require a match. Now would be a good time to start coordinating. Other technical assistance to assist with planning was reviewed. Mr. Hall said he has had conversation with Hands of Grace and they are aware their vehicle is underused right now and is looking to remedy that situation. Mr. Ton stressed that any encouragement is very welcome. Jane offered some suggestions in conclusion for the Commissioners to consider. Study and research will follow.
