NEW MEMBERS FOR THE 2005/2006 BOARD PRESENT: Rusty Embrey Terry Maxwell
STAFF MEMBERS PRESENT: Jill Hall, Phil Bryan and Councilwoman Anne Robbins Anne Robbins said we are finally getting senior housing in Rockville. The housing will be on the first floors, have wider hallways and grab rails in bathrooms. The minutes from the May 17, 2005 meeting were accepted.
TREASURER'S REPORT: A report for the month of May was presented. Copies will be forwarded to the city's Mayor and Council. STANDING COMMITTEES: A. Budget: The RSI budget for FY06 was distributed. The final count for the Spring Bazaar and Yard Sale will not be complete until we receive the bill from the Gazette. The RSI Petty Cash includes kitchen costs from the Bazaar. The budget was amended from the previous one to include the Snack Bar and to raise the budgets for the Spring Bazaar and the monthly Birthday Parties. It now needs to be amended to include $200.00 for petty cash for the Snack Bar as well as petty cash reimbursement expenses of $600. $25.00 of that will be for the till and $175.00 will be to make purchases. In the future purchases for the Bazaars will not be taken out of the RSI petty cash in the office. Betty B. will ask for money from the treasurer and will reimburse anyone who makes purchases. Judy Beck had asked for $100.00 for Carnation Players expenses. She used all but $19.00 and this will not be in the budget for FY06. George G. made a motion to approve the FY 06 budget with amendments. Mary B. seconded the motion. Motion carried. B. Ways & Means: We made a $300.00 profit from the Plant Sale at the Bazaar. Betty H. made a motion to let Lorraine Schack keep the $40.00 in plant sales from Hometown Holidays for the Senior Assistance Fund. Betty B. seconded the motion. Motion carried. Betty B. was thrilled with the profit from the Spring Bazaar and Yard Sale. Peter Kach recommended in his evaluation report that if we sell plants again next year we should order fewer plants and pick them up ourselves. He suggested that we could rent space to area garden clubs to sell plants at the Bazaar (but the garden clubs actually give us their leftovers for us to sell so they may not be interested). C. Bingo: Continues to do well. D. Correspondence/Memorial: We received approximately $100.00 in memorials in May. E. Gift /Thrift Shop: The totals include profit made at the Bazaar. We made $1,488.00, paid out $415.00 to consignors and made a profit of $1,090.00. F. Publicity: No report. G. Senior Citizens Commission: Raised $527.00 for the Senior Assistance Fund at Hometown Holidays selling plants. The Senior Commission will sell chrysanthemums and pansies at the Arts and Music Festival on September 24. The commission will attend the USM meeting and would like input from RSI by July 18 as to what are their three top priorities for seniors would be on the state and federal level. If you have any ideas please let Marty know. The Senior Commission Minutes have the priorities that the commission decided upon. H. Hispanic Services Report: No report. I. Asian Services Report: No report.
OLD BUSINESS:
The FY06 budget was discussed – see Budget above. NEW BUSINESS:
Betty H. made a motion to give Mary Ryan a lifetime membership to the Senior Center. Mary B. seconded the motion. Motion carried. We will also give her a certificate of appreciation and perhaps a bonsai garden in lieu of flowers. Copies of the Investment Policy Statement from Steve Chappel were distributed. The board decided that
the questionnaire attached was more applicable to an individual than to a corporation. George made a
motion to form a subcommittee to meet with Steve Chappel and make a decision on the Investment
Policy Statement. The fee would be 0.8% a year and if the fee exceeded 1% it should come back to the board. Mary B. seconded the motion. Motion carried. The subcommittee members are Rusty, George, Ron and Marty. We will be investing $100,000.00 with Mr. Chappell. $40,000.00 will come from a CD and $60,000.00 will be from the money market account. Any interest from those accounts will go into savings and the money market account will be abolished. STAFF REPORT:
The Snack Bar made over $100.00 in profit its first month. We have received many compliments from the seniors about it. We are having a naming contest and so far Morning Glory Café has received the most votes. The winner of the contest will win a $25.00 credit that will be placed on their account. It is not clear yet how Thomas Farm Recreation Center in Fallsgrove will be used. We are hoping that there will be some senior use during the daytime. There was a meeting last week to get input from the public and Ron and Marty attended. A late summer public meeting to review the draft design concepts is planned. Jill will let you know when the next public meeting will be. George asked about our room naming policy. Phil will look into it and report back at the next meeting. The front doors have been replaced. The floor between the doors will be replaced this week. The old floor will be removed on Wednesday and the new floor put in on Thursday and Friday. If it works out well we may use the floor in the bathrooms. The Pottery Camp is now in the building. They use the Ceramics Room and the playground. We will be closed on July 4. We did a mailing to seniors who are 70-79 in the city who are not members. We sent our new brochure along with a coupon for a $5.00 discount. The new brochures are in the front office and they will be included in the new member packets. We have new evaluation forms for rentals to help with marketing. The meeting was adjourned at 3:35 p.m. The next meeting is scheduled for July 12, 2005. |
