Senior Advisory Board Meeting Minutes 7/7/09 Page 3 of 4 is $82,650 and we take in about $4,000 a year from client payments, $25,000 from the Boulder County grant and $3,000 from NSIP (BCASD) funds. Bob said we could remind the City Council that they have parties that non- Louisville residents attend. Connie reminded that a survey was handed out at the last moonlight supper asking what seniors preferred to cut out. Larry asked about raising prices of Recreation Center membership but Claudine pointed out that that would not affect the budget for seniors as Rec Center membership fees are a different budget. Claire F would prefer to raise Senior Center class fees and provide subsidies for those who need them. Carol P suggested we market the center more. Claudine said the newsletter appears four times a year and we could save $3,000 if we reduced this to three times. Focus Group Reports and 2009 Goals A. Basic Needs 1. Housing-Bob Pierce. Walt and I are seeing Paul Woods about visitability. The Louisville Housing Authority has asked Walt to serve as interim member. Then he can vote whenever someone is absent. We have been attending the Housing Authority meetings and that is making a big difference. B. Social and Civic Engagement 1. Programs- Larry Brassem At our June 12 meeting, we discussed options for trips. Katie will follow up. 2. Sunshine-Barbara Wilson. No report as Barbara was absent 3. Intergenerational-Claire Floyd No report. C. Physical and Mental Health and Wellbeing-Carol Purfurst. 1. Social Dancing Our Social Dancing continues and we are learning tap dancing. There has been a proposal that we could take part in the Labor Day Parade. The theme is "Good Nature". We purchased 8 CDs for practicing the tap. The cost was $103.77. Claire F moved and Bob P seconded that the Board pay for the CDs. Larry moved and Bob seconded that we take the money from special projects. The motion was approved. 2. Garden Club Bloomin' Seniors has created a watering schedule. We meet twice a month. Richard Cohen and Mary Mulcahy (Master Gardener) are helping greatly. We received a Create our Future Grant of about $1900. We might extend our activities next summer and make raised beds, etc.
