Action Item #3 - Approval of a Memorandum of Understanding between the SDA/PIC and Department of Rehabilitation. Frank Jacobson stated that he was concerned with the way page two Section B #1 read "The SDA will assure " He felt that there could be a financial commitment involved and he had concerns. He stated that he would be more comfortable if it read "that the SDA would make its best efforts to make its services accessible" rather than "the SDA will assure" making it a definite commitment. Ray Torres stated that maybe a definition or reading on this might help since he got a different reading from this statement. Mr. Torres asked Marge or Ruben to explain further. Marge Pritchard stated that on Item B, Accessibility, there is clearly no latitude for us not to be accessible to persons with disabilities which is stated in the regulations and with the exceptance of any federal grant. She stated that maybe the services needs to be more defined and at this time she hoped this MOU for use of the One Stop Center would bring in additional services for people with disabilities. F:\DOCS\J PA\MINUTES\AMN6A28A.DOC Marge stated that as far as monetary commitment, at this time, we are following all of the procedures that we would need to have in place and addressing the additional services we are thinking of putting in. Marge stated that this MOU was put together hoping that John Geisbauer's staff at the Department of Rehabilitation could provide some services for the Center. Frank Jacobson stated that he concurred with what we are trying to achieve, but what ran up a red flag for him was when it said "computer software which permits a person who is blind to access a computer ". He stated that there are many disabilities and if we are to assure that every type of a person with a disability would be seen, then there is a monetary cost associated with that. He asked if we could look at that cost and say no that is too costly to implement or are we by this MOU forced to implement this. John Geisbauer stated that Title II and Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act says the requirements of the agencies that receive federal funds or provide services in the public domain relate to the operations of the One Stop Career Center. He felt that there could be some financial encumbrances by the PIC through one funding source or another to provide the accessibility to the technology. He stated for example, some software for the hearing impaired or someone in a wheelchair. John Geisbauer stated that the MOU is just talking about the Department of Rehabilitation providing consultation so there is no need to change any of the wording. Frank Jacobson asked Marge Pritchard if she felt comfortable that we can accomplish this within our budget without getting off track with the other programs. Marge Pritchard stated that since she does not know all the costs involved, she could not answer this with affirmative or negative. She felt that we could still move forward with this because we could accommodate these individuals with special appointments as needed. Marge asked John Geisbauer if this would sufficient. He agreed that it would. The motion to move for approval was made by Frank Jacobson and seconded by Jan Billings. The vote was unanimous. The motion passed.
