Committee approves RTS transportation contract for senior errands; out-of-county-trip authorization withdrawn
Summary
The committee approved a contract with RTS to provide transportation for seniors to Lunch Club 60 sites and errands (4-0). A separate authorization to permit out-of-county client trips without prior travel forms was deemed unnecessary after auditor review and may be withdrawn.
Aging and Youth Director Amy Haskins presented the department’s budget report and several transmittals to the Human Services Committee on June 1. The committee approved an authorization to enter into a contract with RTS for transportation services for seniors to Lunch Club 60 locations and nearby errands by a recorded vote of 4-0.
"--Authorization to Enter into a Contract with RTS for Transportation for Seniors to Lunch Club 60 Locations and Nearby Destinations for Errands. Approved 4-0," the minutes record. Haskins also brought forward a proposed authorization to complete client-related trips out of county without prior travel authorization forms; after consulting with the County Auditor, Interim County Administrator Mark Humbert informed the committee that the resolution was determined to be unnecessary and may therefore be withdrawn.
The RTS contract is intended to support senior mobility and attendance at congregate meal sites; the committee did not attach additional conditions in the meeting minutes. The out-of-county-travel authorization will not proceed unless the auditor’s office or staff reintroduce a revised resolution.
