TREASURER REPORT- Sandy Polley Bank statement as of as of 5/20/13 $16,355.29 Ben acknowledged the work of the Sub Committee's but rem.i.nded them that issues need to be brought to a Staff inember prior to initiating any type of action. This will eliminate duplicating any action that may have already been implemented. ' RECREATION SUPERVISOR—Shawn Daly _ ____ • The Carco Theater Senior Revue was a great success. For new members who might not know this is the 34�'year the revue has been presented. We talk about promoting the Senior Center and the Senior Revue does a great job of doing that. Not only does it promote the Senior Center and shows what great things we do, it also gives our seniors an opporhznity to show their families wha.t they do. Shawn acknowledged Lisa Wivag and what a great job she does in putting together the Senior Revue and also wanted to thank everyone who signed up and volunteered helping out at the two presentations of the revue. • Tuesday June 25�'from 3 P.M.to 7 P.M. is the date and iime that boazd members may participate at the Farmers Market. A table has been allocated for members use. June 4�'the openi.ng date the Recreation Dept. will be manning a table. • Shawn wanted to talk a little bit about what Ben had brought up at the bea nning of this meeting. Shawn and Debbie both feel that many issues that the Sub Committee's are bringing up are by passing the staff. It is i.mperative that staff be kept informed and involved in all aspects of procedures for the Senior Center. Two examples of how the Sub Committee worked successfully with the Staff were the Float Committee recommendation and the committee reviewi.ng and presenti.ng ADA policies for service animals. This was the way , it should be done. Shawn is happy that Sub Committee's are expressing the desire to be more involved, but there must always be communication between Staff and Committee's. � � y ., Examples of Sub Committee's working independent of the staff were, possible remodel of lobby and offices,fee's for pool players and marketing fliers. Had there been communication with Staff first the committee would have been made aware of what procedures were already in place and saved the committee time and effort. Shawn does not wish to discourage Sub Committee's from suggesting things,but be mindful the Staff must be informed first before any action is taken. Debbie echoed Shawn's sentiments and expressed the only way to successfully operate is through communication.

N h � � Discussion: • Ben Cheney- Ben appreciates what the Sub Committee's are doing but would suggest in the future that they present ideas verbally instead of in written form. • Sandy Polley—Apologized for sidestepping the staff. Sandy passed out the report that had been compiled by her committee. When it was discovered that news regarding the Senior Center has not been included in the Renton Newspaper, Sandy called and talked to Dean Radford and he informed her they would be happy to include any information about the Senior Center if we call them in February. The Committee has had two meetings and Chris gave them rack cards and brochures. In addition to the rack cards and brochures Chris gave the committee she also said if there was anything additional that the committee would like printed it could be done at no cost. Channe121 was another option. ROUND TABLE DISCUSSION • Milt Tiede—Issue of mirror installations to prevent accidents at corners in the building. Ben made a motion to insta112 mirrors on the main level of the building, Sandy moved to accept that motion and Peggy seconded the motion. It was voted on by members and passed. • Bill Clapp—Researched other Senior Centers and found out none of them charge their members for using their Pool Rooms.
