RECREATION SUPERVISOR—Shawn Daly
• Shawn had a receipt in the amount of$450 for the Bingo cards.
• Update on projects being done at the center. The chairs in the pool room have
been upholstered and look very nice. The stools have been sent out and will
be returned in one week. Also,the acoustic panels are ordered and will be
installed during the maintenance closure. The signs have been completed and
the awning fabric is done and ready to install.
Ben made a decision that discussion on Sub-Committee Task Defuutions will be
' postponed until next meeting. Because of so many members being absent for this
meeting Kay will mail absent members copies of a revised Sub-Comtnittee Task
Defuution that Milt had compiled.
Ben turned the meeting over to Milt. Milt gave a breakdown of various items on the Sub-
Committee Task Definition he felt the members might want to review and change. Sandy
suggested that we wait until the October meeting to have a majority membership present
to review this suggested revised Sub-Committee Task Definition. Ben concurred with
that suggestion and we will continue discussion on this at the Oct. 1 St meeting.

• Tim brought to our attention that information from the June retreat needs to be
prioritized and hopefully ready to present to the Mayor by lst of Nov. By not
having meetings during the month of Sept. it will present a full agenda for the
meetings in Oct. There were various suggestions made to accommodate an
additional meeting in Oct. or extend the time of our two meetings in.Oct. It
was suggested we keep our regular suggested meeting of Oct. 1 St and see what
is accomplished and then decide if we need an additional meeting. Once the
committee has identified the orientation section,the project section and
identifying the committee's it would then be presented to the Mayor and the
Mayor would then attend one of our meetings.
Ben and Shawn thanked Milt for the time and effort he put into suggested revisions of the
Sub-Committee Task Definition.
Ben reported that committee's will be changed the first of the year. Orientation of new
members would take place the 1 St of the year.
ROiTND TABLE DISCUSSION: Milt made a suggestion that the committee members
visit other senior centers. Shawn suggested if we choose to do that you need to make an
appointment with the respective centers.
