Coordinator's Report:
➢ June finances were reviewed.
➢ The parking lot light is finished,but still is not lighting up as yet.
➢ The roofing company installed new drain pipes and not sure if they fixed
the damaged areas of the roof. Will check into that.
➢ The new air conditioning unit has been installed on the roof. They also
installed two new thermostats. The center seems much cooler now.
➢ The pool room is doing well. Donna has had several compliments. There
are several people not paying to use the pool tables.
➢ The Senior Center is scheduled to appear before the City Council on
August 21st at 7pm at the Police Station. Donna is happy to do the
presentation and would appreciate some support at the meeting.
➢ We need to market the Senior Center to help increase the meal count. We
need ideas that don't cost anything. We could have an article placed in
the Perspective to tell people what goes on at the center. We could send a
letter to the editor to the local newspapers and then send cheers for the
letter. Public Service announcements are free. Where's Larry is free, but
need an event like the knitting & crocheting group who make items for
the veterans and hospice. We could then add the other things that go on at
the center. These are great ideas. Donna will look into these.
➢ Shannon will be off Friday, July 28th and Monday, July 30th, so Donna
will be in the kitchen cooking.
➢ Rentals are picking up and this should generate additional income for the
center.
➢ Donna has one person in mind to fill the board vacancy. He is willing to
help out at the center as much as he can.
• Motion to accept the Coordinators report: Carol Approved, Billy
Seconded. Passed.
New Business:
➢ Sharon was wondering if the board meeting could be moved to
Wednesdays instead of Mondays. The Line Dance group gets very noisy
and distracting on Mondays when the board is meeting. Wednesday does
not have a group that meets at the same time as the board would meet, so
it would be a much quieter meeting.
• Motion to change the Board Meeting to the second Wednesday of the
month: Carol Approved, Lynda Seconded. Passed.
➢ Donna is requesting the Board to pay the payroll for the center until
October 1st. Each payroll is $3,000 and is done twice a month. According
to Gerald the June profit & loss statement from Donna shows a profit, so
he feels the board needs to give only $4,000. According to Donna that
money was used to pay July first of the month bills and she needs the full
amount for payroll. After additional discussion with Gerald and Donna
not understanding what each is trying to convey a motion was done.
• Motion to visit additional funds on a month to month basis starting
with $3,000 this month: Carol Approved, Mary Seconded. Mike Nay.
He feels we will be doing an emergency board meeting to add more
funds before the month is out. Majority rules, Passed.
Old Business:
> AARP Tax Aide still wants to use the center and increase to two days and
add more preparers and take over the dining room. Mike made a phone
call and AARP has contacted the City about using the Depot for two days
a week during tax season.
• Motion to cancel AARP Tax Aide service and allow the city to take
over this service. Billy Approved, Lynda Seconded. Passed.
> Gerald was asked about the audit. He said it would cost $4,000 to $5,000
to have the audit done for the center.
• Motion to have the audit done: Mary Approved, Billy Seconded.
Passed.
➢ The updated Center Operations Manual was reviewed. Everyone had an
advanced copy so they were able to review it beforehand. There were
several changes to the bingo area as well as a few other changes. There
will need to be a Bylaw change for the new day that the Board meetings
will be held; from Monday to Wednesday, Article Five, Section 5:
Regular Meetings. Mike will contact Debbie about this. Donna will
discuss some of the bingo changes with Donna Crockett, so a new Bingo
notice can be posted for all to see and abide by.
• Motion to approve the changes to the Operations Manual as
discussed. Revisions to be in the final draft for next months meeting
on Wednesday: Lynda Approved, Carol Seconded. Passed.
Adjournment:
• Motion to adjourn the meeting: Mary Approved, Billy Seconded.
Passed.
Meeting adjourned at 3:00 pm.
