The Lifeline monitors have been being paid for out of the CCAS budget and were budgeted for $80,000 a year through the Senior Services District. There are 182 lifelines our right now. This was an agreed service that was part of what people passed the Service District for apparently originally. There was never a lifetime cap placed on the number of Lifeline monitors that the Senior Services District would provide through the CCAS. Jim thought that perhaps we could look at funding these through a Title 3 Grant or some other grant. Kim was not happy with that proposal, as that was part of what the original push for the funding and campaigning for the Senior Services District was for. There was some back and forth and Don said we would have more discussion next month after more information was collected. Glenrock Housing Authority: Working on obtaining more grants. Continuing work on bathroom. Continuing work for heat pump. Elevator project continuing but should be complete soon. Heat pump condensers project starting soon. Hoover Hall waiting for inspections and then will be complete. Irwin Towers: Hand rails are up and 18 kitchens are complete. Carolyn asked for projects to be complete and inspected before payment is submitted. Bruce Jones assured the board that they are. Riverside Plaza 1 and 2: Generator will be installed in April and operational in May. The shop will be started in May with the hope to be completed by July 1, 2025. Ron McNare knows that it needs to be completed in this budget year. Laura is the Wyoming state representative for Rocky Mountain Heartland Affordable Housing Management Association and will be attending a meeting in May. She is hoping to bring back grant information to that will apply to all the housing in Converse County. They are thinking about doing a car show at Riverside Plaza in June with a BBQ and an open house to show the improvements that have been made to the buildings. The board thought that was a great idea, and Jim asked if they could also be included with the Senior Center. CCAS: Fire doors still ongoing. Rekey is complete. Eagle is on the flag pole and the flag light is complete. Two day WDOT audit review was approved and granted $125,000. They are hoping to be approved for more in the future. They are approved to be a local transit authority for public transportation so they can possibly set up scheduled runs through the city for the public. They can make out of state hospital runs and trips to Deadwood, etc. Food numbers have gone up substantially. The frozen meals have increased from 70 to over 200. They are hoping to add a position of Special Project Coordinator to manage bids and contractors, to free Jim up so he can handle the management of the CCAS. At this time, it will be a part time position. OPEN DISCUSSION: There was some discussion about adding a maintenance person for Barber Apartments. We are not sure how that would be funded. There was some discussion about the CCAS person being used for both, but that is probably not legal, so that will not work. More discussion will be held next month. Carolyn asked Tim to get ahold of WYOCLASS Investments to get her name added to the card so she can move and get information about those funds. He said he will do that right away. Carolyn moved and Cindy seconded that we appoint Converse County Bank as official depository for CC Senior Services District. Motion carried. The board signed deposit cards. Meeting was adjourned. Next Meeting April 14, 2025 at 10 am in Glenrock. Don Luhrsen , President Cindy Sheridan, Secretary Converse County Senior Citizen Service District April 10, 2025 Glenrock, Wyoming President Don Luhrsen called the meeting to order.

March location was Douglas so that has been changed in the minutes. This will be addressed at next meeting. Tim moved to accept minutes and JB seconded. Motion passed.

New Business: CCAS will provide the Board information soon about the audit that was done. Joel Schell, Converse County Treasurer, gave the board a presentation to review and explain the mill levy and review for the new board members the process for budgeting for the upcoming year. We can start a building fund for a new Senior Center that a certain amount is set aside each year and we should have an emergent account for any possible unforeseen problems that arise that are not in the budget. These could be in the same account. We need a cash flow reserve and there is no minimum or maximum of reserve. Tax Revenue must be $0. We need a resolution from the board to designate the reserves from last year (CD’s).

They have bids in on Grants. Irwin Towers: Summitted invoices. 21 apartments complete. There are 30 plus apartments left to complete. Riverside Plaza 1 and 2: The generator should be completed mid-June. Ron McNare continues working on the shop. Submitted preliminary budget for 2026 CCAS: Estimate for life alerts is $76,486 a year. Carolyn moved and Tim seconded that we pay the additional amount for the alerts for the year. The motion passed unanimously. Jim noted many staffing changes have been made. They are working hard to find staff that fit the organization. They are streamlining grants and getting everything organized on the business side of the Center. They have hired an HR firm and are updating a handbook for payroll and retirement. The Center will be offering dementia training for caregivers through Wyoming Dementia Together. They will supply a big screen tv and offer telehealth opportunities. The Senior Center hired Brad Isner as their project manager, and he is hard at work. They will need to bid for snow removal next winter and have hired a person for mowing this summer. They have a budget created. They want to grow funds and offer services to seniors. Their vision is to mow lawns, handiwork in homes, clean up around homes, etc. The idea is that it would employ people in town and offer needed services to seniors. Jim states they will be asking for an increase in salaries in the budget. He wants to add an accountant due to the amount of money they are dealing with at the Senior Center. Tim moved to adjourn the meeting, JB seconded. Motion passed. Don adjourned meeting. Next meeting Monday, May 12, Douglas, 10:00 am. (Carolyn has requested to meet at 9 am to begin budget for 2026.)

Lucile was appointed to fill the secretary position which was vacated with Bill's resignation. Lucile suggested that this Board meet with the CC Aging Services Board to discuss remodel and other projects that were funded in FY 21 and FY 22. The question is what can realistically be accomplished? Is someone needed to help Nancie oversee these projects? Lucile's concern was the large revenue balance in the account and, even though the funds have been allocated to various projects, it doesn't look good to have so much money on hand. Should the projects be prioritized? The remodel projects are taking a long time to be completed due to still existing Covid problems, receiving materials and scheduling contractors. This Board will try to meet with the CC Aging Services Board at their meeting in Glenrock at 1:00 p.m. on August 19, 2021 to discuss projects.

Nancie reiterated her desire to have her board be more involved with decisions on projects. On the kitchen remodel, she believed the Senior Center paid the $75,000 for the architect. We discussed this as it applies to an overall cost of a project. Should we know this so that there is a total project cost when there are payments from two different entities? Nancie offered the following invites to this Board: August 29, 2021, Ayres Natural Bridge Park, staff picnic beginning around 10am. August 31,2021, Ayres Natural Bridge Park, Senior picnic, 11a(ish).

Ron moved to accept the financial report and the payment of bills as presented. Lucile seconded, motion carried.

The Investment Policy was discussed and the Board decided to adopt and then submit amendments if needed. Lucile moved to adopt the Investment Policy, Ron seconded, motion carried. After some discussion, Lucile moved to rescind the motion made by Bill Canady on December 13, 2020 to invest $50,000 with Ally Bank Utah, Kathy seconded, motion carried. (A copy of those minutes is attached for reference.) The credit card is now available for use by this Board. New Board member: no applications at this time. The application for consideration to be appointed to this Board was distributed by Kathy.

Once we have our account number, this Board, at their next meeting, will decide on a dollar amount to invest.

Joel Schell, County Treasurer, stated the senior district may have to pay back about $1.8 million. At the same meeting, the Commissioners stated it may be a good idea to keep the same mill levy as an adjustment in that, particularly lowering, will cause a bigger payback. The money has to be paid back by December 21st of each year. Don also brought up the opportunity to have the County Treasurer withhold our mill levy revenue until it's paid back. Lucile thought it was better to receive the funds for revenue tracking purposes and then write a check back to the County. Dementia services were discussed.

The budget will reflect that change. The bookkeeping services have not provided a cost for FY 24. Don seconded, motion carried. Tim asked Lucile to discuss the true-up with the oil & gas industry and how the payback is determined. Lucile stated, the payback, per law, covers our mill levy of 2 in FY 21, the revenue distribution that the oil and gas industries paid to us was around $7.3 million in FY 23 and it was an estimate. Keeping the mill levy at 1.57 (from FY 23) would have caused a payback of around $1.8 million. However, keeping the 1.57 mill generated too much revenue; therefore, this board reduced the mill levy to % of a mill for FY 24. That will cause the estimated payback in December 2023 to be around $4.5 million. The payback is the percentage difference between 2 mills and Va mill, which is .625 percent. The law only covers the oil and gas industry, not individuals, corporations, etc. Nancie stated there were no current projects. She reviewed the status of the CCAS budget request for employee insurance which was not funded for FY 24. A lengthy discussion followed about whether to fund, how to fund and any conditions such as the employee's share of the premium, deductible, etc. The board will discuss this budget item at a later meeting. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 11:30 a.m. Tim Ricker, President Lucile K. Taylor, Secretary Converse County Senior Citizen Service District June 23, 2023 Special Meeting Douglas, Wyoming President Tim Ricker called the special meeting to order at 10:05 a.m. Present were Tim Ricker, Kathy Patceg, Don Luhrsen and Lucile Taylor. Rita Redig was excused. The purpose of the meeting was to reconsider the funding request of Converse County Aging Services for employee health insurance coverage and any other items that would change our FY 24 budget. Lucile stated that CCAS and the senior housing units had all been given our Procurement Policies and Procedures. In that document, the parameters for bidding are addressed. Those policies need to be followed as this Board needs to have accountability for the tax dollars used to fund the entities. Also discussed was the lack of responses to requested information so this Board could address the true cost of insurance. After much discussion, the final outcome for the employee insurance funding was that CCAS will be allowed to use FY 24 funds within their monthly allocation of $125,000 to offer employee health insurance with no restrictions. If that is not possible, CCAS can present a funding request for the next FY that adheres to our Procurement Policies and Procedures. At that time, this Board may also require an employee contribution towards the premium and specific deductibles. This Board will ask for quarterly accountability reports addressing how the $125,000 monthly allocation was spent. There were no additional requests or changes submitted by the senior housing units. The deletion of the shop ($140,000) occurred prior to establishing the proposed budget. There being no further business to come before the Board, the special meeting adjourned at 10:40 a.m. Tim Ricker, President Lucile K.

After some discussion about the amount of financial paperwork that is copied for each of us for every meeting, the Board decided that each of us can print a scan that Kathy will send via email. She will bring an original to the meeting for signatures and action. Tim asked Lucile to discuss the true-up (payback) of the excess revenue generated from the oil and gas tax revenue. The total payback due November 30, 2023, is $4,578,708.39. The district budgeted $4,562,500, so overall the estimate was short $16,208.39. This board decided to write a check in November for the full amount and then have the County credit us back the property tax revenue that was withheld from our revenue starting with the deposit from July 2023 (deposited to our account by the County Treasurer in August). Nancie stated the projects are at a standstill right now. A new architect was hired to help with the building additions in Douglas. The architect is working with the City of Douglas on zoning and ownership of the land. Tim inquired about meeting with the senior housing units. He was informed that was going to happen at the October meeting so it would reflect on a quarterly basis. Lucile asked about Life Alerts and Nancie explained that they do assist seniors with signing up for alerts - not necessarily through the center, but from various providers that are less expensive. Financial assistance is available should someone need it. In response to a question from the audience about the requirement of an audit being provided to us by the agencies we fund, Kathy responded that non-profit corporations are not required to have audits; however, this Board wants the audits. Those audits are then provided to our auditors so they have data comparisons for the funding we provide. Nancie stated the Senior Centers are to have audits every three years. She also stated that their auditors have the necessary paperwork but haven't submitted the audits to CCAS. She does have a draft from FY 21 (Oct 1-Sep 30, 2021). This Board was asked if funding can be withheld if documents are not provided. Lucile said yes, that can happen. Rita moved to adjourn at 2:05 p.m., Don seconded, motion carried.
