<br />Council on Aging Board Meeting <br />Monday, October 19, 2009 <br />Reading Senior Center - Game Room <br /> <br />Present <br />: Stacey Bertocchi, Steve Oston, Marguerite Bosnian, Erica Deane, Margaret <br />Havey, George Lonergan, Gina Nelson, Carol Oniskey, Carole Scrima, Dawn Folopoulos <br />(Staff). <br />Excused Absence: <br />SallyHoyt <br />Call to Order: <br />6:43 PM. <br />Minutes: A <br />pproved for September 14, 2009 with a change: the Finance Committee <br />liaisons are now Kevin Leyne and Matt Wilson. <br />Administrator’s Report: <br />Approved. <br /> <br /> <br />The new Community Services Director, Jean Delios, may change the format of <br />future Administrative monthly reports. <br /> <br /> <br />There are currently three candidate organizations still considering running the <br />Adopt-a-Family Program: the Rotary Club, the Young Women’s League and the <br />Neighbors and Newcomers. <br /> <br /> <br />The Administrator had breakfast with State Senator Richard Tisei; the <br />conversation centered on the needs of seniors in Reading. The Council asked the <br />Administrator how well we actually know these needs and how often do our <br />representatives in government take action on them. Gina, from her work with <br />Rep. Tierney, suggested that 25 letters from constituents generally trigger a <br />response from the legislature. <br />Financial Report: <br />Approved. <br /> <br /> <br />Steve suggested that Annual Upgrade and Support fee for the Myseniorcenter <br />software be withheld from the contractor until the software was made operational. <br /> <br /> <br />The Council voted 8-0-1 to support spending in the amount of $199 from the <br />Burbank Trust Fund to purchase holiday greeting cards for local elder care <br />providers, senior center instructors, financial sponsors and others. The cards will <br />contain a small calendar and the Elder Services’ logo. <br /> <br /> <br />The Council voted 9-0-0 to support spending in the amount of $100 from the <br />Burbank Fund to renew our RCTV annual membership. <br />Old Business: <br /> <br /> <br />The FY09 Financial Summary was explained by the Administrator <br /> <br /> <br />A discussion on raising the non-expendable amount in the Burbank Trust Fund <br />(currently set at $250,000) was continued from the previous meeting. There was <br />an unofficial consensus that although adjusting that non-expendable amount to <br />account for inflation had merit, it was not a critical decision at the present time <br />because our income generally exceeded our expenditures. The limit was not <br />changed. <br /> <br />
