15952
. (a) Centralized administration of consolidated social
service transportation services shall utilize, to the maximum extent
possible, existing public and private administrative capabilities and
expertise. Utilization of existing administrative capabilities and
expertise shall not require employment of those public and private
administrative personnel nor shall it preclude any consolidated
agency from developing a necessary administrative organization.
(b) Efficient and continual use of all existing sources of
funding, utilized prior to the enactment of this part for social
service transportation services, shall, to the maximum extent
possible, be continued. Social service agencies participating in
consolidation or coordination shall continue to maintain funding
levels for consolidated services necessary to meet the transportation
needs of their social service consumers. Rescinding or eliminating
funding for consolidated services by any participating agency shall
require cancellation of service to the agency's consumers by the
consolidated agency. Cancellation of the service shall not be
required if rescission or elimination of funding occurs because of a
program change with respect to the source of funding.
(c) Consolidation of social service transportation services shall,
to the maximum extent possible, utilize existing agency operating
and maintenance personnel and expertise. Effective use of employees
of participating agencies shall be achieved without mandating that
the employees become directly employed by the designated consolidated
agency.
(d) Consolidation of existing social service transportation
services shall more appropriately be achieved if local elected
officials are involved in the process. Local elected officials shall,
to the maximum extent possible, be involved in the development of
the action plans and other local actions necessary for the successful
implementation of this part.
