TOWN BOARD GOALS AND ACTION ITEMS - REPORT.
Ass't. Administrator Widmer reviewed the Progress Report, a copy of
which is made a part of the record of these proceedings by
reference, for Town Board Goals and Action Items. A copy of the
"Vision", "Mission" and "Goals" statements included in the 1995
Quality Improvement Implementation Plan was also reviewed, and
staff suggested the Town consider adopting these or similar such
statements in the near future.
SENIOR CENTER REMODELING PROJECT - REQUEST AUTHORIZATION TO SUBMIT
GRANT APPLICATION.
Administrator Klaphake summarized the Center's needs: kitchen
remodeling, conversion to ADA restrooms, handicapped access
concerns, dining room space, and cosmetic upgrade. Thorp and
Associates withstood the cost of design and prepared a preliminary
design which will provide the minimum information needed to seek
grants.
Senior Center Representative, Don Tebow, reported that the concept
for this Project began 18 months ago, and he unveiled a rendering
of the building. At this time, the Center serves meals on a daily
basis, to 50 seniors, with 28/30 receiving meals on wheels. In
addition to providing service to the elderly, the Center is being
utilized for meeting space for 12-15 other organizations. Thorp
has estimated a remodeling cost of $65.00/sq. ft.; should bids
exceed this estimate, the scope of the project will be reduced.
Mr. Tebow advised that the Center is requesting Town assistance by
seeking grants. A "catalog of needs" will be prepared by the
volunteers in an effort to obtain donated items/furnishings.
Consensus was reached to authorize grants be prepared and submitted
for funding of the Project. Staff will prepare a budget estimate
for the September 12 Town Board meeting.
Acting upon staff's request, consensus was reached to enter
Executive Session to discuss personnel matters. Whereupon, Mayor
Dannels adjourned the meeting to Executive Session at 4:35 P.M.
