CDAC is the Advisory Committee that makes recommendations to the Mayor on where block grant dollars should be spent. The public hearing is Tuesday, August 22 at 5:30 pm. City & County Building, Room 126. This meeting is to gather citizen input relative to where dollars should be spent in housing, parks, public services, etc. It is very important for this committee to hear from individuals in the disabled communities regarding the need for curb cuts, auditory signals, accessible play grounds, etc. If they don't receive input then they tend not to fund with the same sense of priority if they do hear from people. This is one of those times where you can make a difference. If you have any questions the staff person in charge of this group is Sandi Marler, 535-7269. If anyone requires an accommodation they should contact Sandi. (She needs 4 days for an interpreter) Spread the word and try to come...Call me with questions, 535-7936.

This is a 5 week training that will be held at the Utah Processing Center 5420 W. 1730 S. West Valley City. The processing Center has a variety of positions that do not require phone work, this is not a Call Canter. The jobs may be appropriate for clients who do not want to do call center work and/or may not have the aptitude for customer service positions. Some of the jobs are more physically demanding since this is a large center that processes mail, credit card statements, makes credit cards and data processes checks. There are mail machine operator positions as well. The processing center has hired several BOOST graduates and have been so pleased that they are starting their own program. We will be interviewing for this first class on September 6, 2000 at the Processing Center at either 9 - 11 am or 12 - 2 pm. Class will be five weeks from 12 - 2:30 pm at the Processing Center. Graduation is October 20, 2000. Please call Rachelle at the BOOST office at 902-4199 to refer clients or to ask any questions you may have about this exciting new class. Remember there is no charge for your clients and no pay for them while attending class. The curriculum for this training is listed below: Data processing Word Processing Resolution of work place problems Team Performance Case Studies Taking charge of your financial future Sexual harassment in the workplace Employment training Discovering the Industry Specific skills to operate machines at the processing center will not be taught. The curriculum will provide the opportunity to learn work hardening skills that will enhance their success to find and keep a job. No one is promised a job after they complete the training, but remember Discover Card continues to provide internal training to people with disabilities in hopes of hiring those that meet the human resources criteria. Again if you have questions call BOOST at 902-4199. We are also scheduling interviews for the Fall BOOST classes at the Sandy Center and the Lake Park Center. Interviews in Sandy will be August 28 -29, Lake Park interviews; August 30 -31. Sandy classes begin September 18 - November 3, 2000 from 8 - 11 am. Lake Park classes begin September 11 - November 17, 2000 two class times are offered; 8 - 10:30 or 11 - 1 pm.
