<br />Council on Aging Board Meeting <br />Monday, March 9, 2009 <br />Reading Senior Center Game Room <br /> <br />Present <br />: Stacey Bertocchi, Steve Oston, Marguerite Bosnian, Margaret <br />Havey, George Lonergan, Carol Oniskey, Carol Patterson, Barbara Powers, <br />Carole Scrima, Dawn Folopoulos (Staff). <br /> <br />Call to Order: <br />6:33 PM. <br /> <br />Minutes: <br />approved and accepted for February 9, 2009 <br /> <br />Administrator’s Report: <br />approved and accepted. <br /> <br /> <br /> Questions were answered by Staff regarding the retirement date of the <br />COV, the content of the emergency preparedness kits, rummage sale <br />vouchers, and the Formula Grant reduction ($/elder). Staff was <br />willing, in the future, to compute YTD unduplicated data for various <br />categories of Staff/Client/Program Contacts heretofore listed as N/A <br />in this report. <br /> <br />Financial Report: <br />approved and accepted. <br /> <br /> <br /> Comments were made by some COA members that the monthly <br />Financial Report was perhaps too detailed to be user friendly and, <br />therefore, did not readily help the Council make decisions or offer <br />guidance to Staff. It was moved (Bertocci) and seconded (Scrima) to <br />shorten the report to the General Fund and Burbank Fund summary <br />sheets; motion passed 7-1-0. <br /> <br />Old Business: <br /> <br /> <br /> Discussion of the costs and benefits of the Elders Services ad in the <br />Recreation Division magazine was continued from last month, at <br />which time the Council agreed to discontinue the ad for the Summer <br />2009 issue only. Staff provided a handout from the Recreation <br />Administrator about advertisements, including a price list. It was <br />moved (Patterson) and seconded (Scrima) to reduce our ad to ½ page <br />and to revise the wording, beginning with the Fall 2009 issue; motion <br />passed 7-1-0. <br /> <br />
