There was general consensus from Commissioners opposing the consolidation of the Human Services Commission with the Parks and Community Services Commission. Commissioner Fiedler distributed a written statement he prepared with two proposals: that the Commission delegate individual Commissioners or subcommittees to visit social service organizations serving Dublin and report back to the Commission to raise awareness ® that every meeting of the Commission should have an item for the Commission's consideration that would include a recommendation to the City Council Commissioners expressed interest in considering ways the Commission might have more interaction with grantees and other local social service providers to gain better understanding of the needs and services; Chair Songey also suggested the Commissioners should try to identify ways to be more involved regionally in issues such as homelessness and ways the Commission might be able to support the local non-profit organizations. It was moved (Costello/Fielder) for the Commission to have broader discussion regarding how the Commission can interact with social service organizations, including the possibility of creating subcommittees to visit the organizations. The motion passed unanimously. .714man Services Comrissi ,fury 26,2018 ge r Meeting .'age 12 Chair Songey asked if the Commissioners would be prepared to share specific organizations or topics they might want to liaise with. 7.
