The RFI went out to county indigent care facilities on Sept. 15 and the response deadline is Oct. 15. The intent of the RFI is to seek a qualified vendor to become the designated Peralta Community College
District health center lead agency and deliver comprehensive health programming to Peralta students.
There was a discussion about the concerns regarding the timeline for implementing the health fee and the roll Peralta will play in the sphere of the project. Some of the questions raised pertained to the collection, administration, and infrastructure for the health fee. The recent experience with the AC Transit
EasyPass program causes further concern regarding collection of an additional student fee. We have collected EasyPass fees from only one third of eligible students which leaves the District responsible for absorbing the deficit caused by uncollected fees. Jim Bracy recommended an extensive analysis of revenue and reimbursement streams, capital and staffing needs, and fee collection.
It was suggested that a policy change may be needed to change the model for collecting enrollment fees.
Jim Bracy will direct this item to the policy review committee. Dr. Wise Allen suggested an analysis to understand the impact of such a change.
It was agreed that the Health Services Initiative should be marketed to students to make them aware of the program and the health fee.
A motion was carried to house the health facility at Laney College or in the local vicinity. Any information or suggestions on a location should be forwarded to the facilities committee. Some additional ideas were modular construction and other district owned sites with easy accessibility.
Elena Chavez Quezada, program director for SingleStop USA, gave a brief history of the SingleStop organization. Ms. Quezada stated that SingleStop will provide the winning bidder of the RFI with funding to staff a SingleStop coordinator to screen students for eligibility of public benefits and tax credits. In addition they will provide financial and legal services. SingleStop needs space and they will provide the training and infrastructure.

Peralta must release $35,000 to Health Care Services Agency (HCSA). That funding will be matched by
HCSA and contracted out to the medical provider who will hire a project coordinator or health care design team.
Dr. Sadiq Ikharo is the facilities lead and will form a facilities action group with staff that are familiar with the protocol for district projects. Alex Briscoe stated that the existing HCSA clinics are between 2,000 sq. ft. and 3,800 sq. ft. and he can make the plans for those twelve facilities available to the committee.
The meeting closed at 4:43 p.m.
