out. we wouldn't take action on that today. >> correct. commissioner james. >> i just had one question and when describing the frail elderly and their condition and how they're going to be gardening and how are they going -- boxes -- because i don't think i could stoop that low to do any gardening. >> they're going to be raised beds. >> okay. >> and there will be stools for them to sit on and they would be modified for them to be able to reach. >> that is a lot of -- that's my concerns when i looked the frail elderly and how much chopping? that's a lot of exercise, so i was just wondering if there is something raised. if somebody is in a wheelchair can they get -- >> definitely. there will be enough space to do so. duly

thai chi -- >> we will vote -- >> we're not getting into thai chi. >> we will. it's next. >> all right. >> again call the question. all in favor? >> aye. >> any opposed? thank you. the motion carries. item f requesting authorization to modify the grant with self-help for the elderly for community services during the period of march 1, 2015 through august 31, 2015 in the additional amount of $46,321 for revised total grant amount not to exceed $1,560,546 . welcome back linda. >> thank you commissioners. this is request to modify self-help for the elderly's contract to include the snap-ed project with the thai chi

program that was alluded to and i will turn it over to my colleague to share more details about the program. >> thank you and welcome. >> thank you linda. good morning commissioners, director hinton. i am sara chen nutritionists from daas and i am very happy to be here today to walk you through the thai chi program and as we know [inaudible] other leading causes for injuries and disabilities and that affect our seniors to live independently and the quality of life in their life, and so daas is very pleased to introduce this thai chi for arthritis and prevention program to our community and this program is an evaluation based program developed dr. paul lim of thai chi institute and which adopt a very -- well, they use

simplified thai chi forms and slow motion to focus on prevention of arthritis clients as well as to improve the participants' physical activity level, and in this program we're happy to have the grantee self-help for the elderly to implement this project, and in this project self-help for the elderly will focus on two aspects. the first aspect will be implementing this thai chi program in the community and self help be collaborating with community partners and implement at least 10 sites in our community and to offer this thai chi program to 200 unduplicated clients and these classes will be one hour each and last about six weeks and meet a couple of times a week and taught by

certified trainers, and the other part of this thai chi program is very important to be sustainable, so self help will coordinate and offer a workshop and we have one that happened last weekend and was really successful and the thai chi program -- this program will be able to allow the community partners to send their staff and volunteers to the chinatown program and have the master trainer from thai chee for health institute to certify the trainers and continue to provide support to the trainers, so this is also very important piece of the project, and the outcome will be measured by surveys and also pre and post evaluation tools provided by california department of aging, and so the outcome is really have this

program collaborate with community partners, and to be able to work collectively and help our seniors to have a quality, to have the assets and quality based evidence program and reduce the fall risk, improve independence of life and also to be able to increase their physical activities, and so in this project you have the full scope of service and the budget detail in front of you, and we're asking your -- seeking your approval for the additional of $46,321 to self-help for the elderly to implement this project. i am here to answer any questions that you have. >> thank you very much. a motion to approve and a second for discussion. >> so moved. >> second. >> thank you. any comments or questions from the commission?

commissioner loo. >> okay. as i understand last week and training you charge people for coming to the workshop. since you get the money from the state why are you charging the people if. >> one of the fees listed on the program application is we really want people to have the commitment. when they're trained they can bring the skill back to the center back to the community to implement the class so in lieu of that if they provide the classes at the sites and the fee will be waived. actually there is a few waiver process and yes, and if they are unable to fulfill that commitment those fees we're asking the grantees to be able to put into the stipend pool so

we can extend this program to provide more and more this type of programming in our community. >> you mean the money you collected for the fees will go back to the agency? >> will go to the project in house. >> if i may to add some clarification. as sara mentioned there is a fee waiver for the participants to sign up for the workshop. we know from experience that the workshop is free oftentimes you don't get committed trainers to come back and do the classes and our goal is really have the certified trainers to implement the thai chi program in the various senior centers in the community, so i would say the majority of the people that sign up for the training apply for the fee waiver and in order to qualify they're saying they are committed to implementing at

least one series of the thai chi class and as sara mentioned also those that are not going to apply for the fee waiver the fee that self-help for the elderly received will be going back into this project, and allow us to pay stipends to hire other certified trainers to implement the program. >> are there senior discounts? >> there is a discount for volunteers, yeah, so instead of $250 which is the going rate for full two day training plus materials for a volunteer is $150. >> thank you. any other comments or questions from the commission? >> can i say something? i went through those two days classes. i already have benefits. my palm used to be white. now it's turning red. that means circulation. my blood is flowing. hopefully two months,

three months my face will turn red. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> to show that i practice. >> thank you for that testimonial. any other comments or questions from the commission? comments or questions from the public? hearing none call the question. all in favor? >> aye. >> any opposed? thank you. the motion carries. the next item on the agenda announcements. any announcements? hearing none moving on any public comment? hearing none motion to od junior. >> moved. >> second. >> >> i have a second by rising vote. thank you. .
