Council on Aging <br />Special Meeting <br />March 16, 1932 <br />0, 1982. <br />A special meeting of the Council on Aging was held on Tuesday, March 1~ <br />The meetinS was held at the request of Rheta McKinley. The purpose of the <br />meeting was to clarify the implications contained in a letter, dated February 17, <br />1982, to Andrew Mul'ninch, Chairman from Raphael McDonald, Town Accountant. <br />The meeting was called to order at 7:40 p.m. <br />There was considerable discussion which ranged from: <br />Those who felt that funds were mismanaged <br />Those who felt that it was a case of misunderstanding the purpose <br />and the limitations of the account. <br />Those who feel that a system should be established in accordance <br />with what has now been clarified as proper procedure. <br />Mr. McDonald agreed that there is a. need for such an account, but stated that <br />funds cannot accumulate and should only be used for trips. In addition, the <br />account should be reviewed quarterly, and any interest earned must be returned <br />to the Town. <br />Since there is a balance of about $190, the Council should decide what to do <br />with the balance. Discussion seemed to be in favor of leaving it as an ongoing <br />balance in the account. Further discussion followed as to whether the present <br />account should be retained or a. new account opened. <br />It was pointed out that the considerable turnover and lengthy vacancies have <br />affected the continuity of the Board and have contributed to lack of <br />communication. <br />Mr. McDonald expressed his concern that paying the MOW driver and the Out- <br />reach worker from the present budget is in opposition to vote of Town Meeting <br />in 1981. It was explained to him that it was a vote of the Council on Aging <br />which precluded presentation to Town Meeting. These positions have now been <br />created by the Personnel Board and will be presented at the upcoming Town <br />Meeting. <br />Vice Chairman, Lee Winslow discussed her goals concerning the agenda, as well <br />as how often meetings should be held. There is also some disagreement about° <br />whether meetings should start at 7:30 or 8:00 p.m. <br />A brief discussion followed concerning the necessity of maintaining an open <br />line of communication between Executive Secretary, Rheta McKinley, and the <br />Chairman. It was pointed out that Mrs. McKinley should receive all correspond- <br />ence in order that it may be on file. <br />l <br />
