Discuss investment <br /> changes. <br /> Mr. Daly informed the Commissioners that the equity portion of the portfolio was doing fine. <br /> A few days ago, the Fed confirmed that they would not increase any rates and revisit the <br /> rate discussion in 2023. The uncertainty is how the market will deal with inflation worries; <br /> however, the market is doing fine, and the Fed seems not to be worried about inflation. The <br /> best strategy is not to adjust the portfolio and continue to invest the cash that is not needed <br /> in CO. Mr. Cohen asked if any bond was called.

Mr. Kume informed the Commissioners that the Library Director had <br /> inquired about the Library funds and any documentation related to them. He has scheduled <br /> a meeting with her and will report back once he had specifics. <br /> Reading Response Program liaison report: <br /> Ms. Klepeis stated that the past year due to Covid-19 has been over a year now that our <br /> escort program has been on hold. With that in mind, we are letting the Elderly Service team <br /> schedule escort service with whomever they can find until we have a long-term solution. <br /> Once we find a service provided for medical escort, we will have to lock a contract with <br /> them. Ms. Klepeis suggested that she reach out to Kerry and see if she can find a few <br /> quotes. <br /> The second issue was the Lifeline program through Philips, and the service is not going well, <br /> and our clients are confused when they get contacted by Philips. We have had a few issues <br /> where clients have received a very high bill and get upset. Philips has not resolved this issue <br /> for a long time now, and with the new transition that is coming up, the fear of this getting <br /> more complicated is very high. Ms. Klepeis stated that what we need is an intermediary <br /> company to manage the communication. There are two service providers that we should <br /> look at. One is Winchester Hospital, and the other one is Mount Auburn. We should get <br /> quotes from both of these providers. We can use them as intermediaries, and it is a plus <br /> that they offer Philips Lifeline. Ms. Klepeis suggested scheduling a meeting with the Elderly <br /> Service staff, reaching out to as many vendors that provide this service as possible, and <br /> reporting back to the Commissioners. <br /> The next Meeting Date was set for 7/7/2021 <br /> On motion by Ms Klepeis seconded by Mr. Daly. the Commissioners voted to adiourn its <br /> meeting at 8:07 p.m. by a vote of 5-0. <br /> Page 1 2 <br />
