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.
