Carolyn expressed worry about not being able to be as accountable to the funds if they were done outside of the board, but did see the value in having someone do them in times when she may not be available, or if there was a time when there was not a board member that had bookkeeping knowledge. Cindy discussed an accountant in Douglas the Laramie Peak Humane Society uses that they are very happy with and Carolyn and several of the people present at the meeting felt our business is better served being in Converse County, if possible, then Natrona County.

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.

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). Barber Apartments: Elevator almost finished, Siding is starting, rock wall has not started, a generator is not needed, the restroom is half finished, working on the heat pumps. 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.)

Kathy will place an advertisement in both newspapers to replace Bill Cannady, who resigned from this Board on June 13, 2021. 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.

Nancie will provide a copy to her Board at their next meeting. Nancie stated that she and Cheryl Schwartzkopf, CC Weed & Pest, had met and looked at the weed and landscaping concerns at both centers.

The Board agreed to initially invest in WYO-STAR which is administered by the Wyoming State Treasurer. Once we have our account number, this Board, at their next meeting, will decide on a dollar amount to invest.

On our budget, Lucile explained that having a separate bookkeeper would allow us the separation of duties that the auditors suggested and would allow for that person to submit various required forms on behalf of our district. The election budget covers the approximate cost to the County to have our Board members' names (whose terms are up) on the ballot in November 2022. Nancie stated the following projects are complete: Douglas, motion sensor door, Glenrock, windows and blinds for each location at a cost of around $9,500 per location. (Note: $7500 has been budgeted in FY 23.) The windows in Douglas should be completed by the end of the month. The signage in Glenrock is ongoing.

Lucile moved to approve the contract with Skogen, Cometto and Associates for monthly bookkeeping services (and other reports that maybe required) pending review by Kathy after meeting with that firm, Rita seconded, motion carried Dayna discussed various CCAS projects. The gutters for the Glenrock building do not need replacing, so those funds could be considered for other projects. Halogen lights may be needed in the Douglas parking lot, but this item was not budgeted. She stated that CCAS has purchased two animals from FFA members at Deer Creek Days and said someone would be attending the Natrona County Fair as Glenrock has members who will be selling market animals. (Note: July 11, 2022, Nancie added there was a miscommunication as no one with CCAS would be at the Natrona County Market Sale.) Lucile didn't believe this was appropriate or the intent of the PR discussion - the PR was about the Converse County Market Sale. Discussion followed.

Rita asked about funding social items and senior trips, to include overnight trips, possibly going to Deadwood and other areas. Nancie stated their insurance does not cover out-of-state trips. She said that seniors will sign up and then won't go on the trips, which is very frustrating. Everyone agreed it is worth looking into if there is an interest and possibly coming up with budgeting numbers for FY 24. Nancie thought there needed to be a small cost to the seniors so they have buy-in. Lucile thought the allocation funding could be used for these events and suggested that Rita work with Nancie to find costs, etc. Cheri moved to adjourn at 11:10 a.m., Rita seconded, motion carried.

Discussion: the district has a large amount of funds in CCB that are not expected to be used; the interest rates are currently up so the longer we delay, the less interest we will earn; Kathy will talk to CCB about options for CDs on terms and rates.

After some discussion about responsibilities of the offices, Lucile moved to put forward the following slate: Tim, President; Don, Vice-President; Kathy, Treasurer and Lucile, Secretary. Rita did not want an office. Kathy seconded; motion carried. New Business. Rita and Kathy thought that the new sign in Glenrock would be better if there was directional signage pointing towards the center. Rita felt the sign was confusing as people may go into the Rec Center thinking that is where the senior center is located. Lucile wondered if directional signage could be added under the sign. Old Business: Kathy and Lucile discussed the conference call with PMCH, our auditors. After the conference call and upon further review and a lengthy discussion, a couple of projects may need to be reconsidered. Tim will discuss them with Nancie.

One concern is that we have too much money in our account, along with investments. Also, how this Board spends the funds on projects - which should be capital assets by definition. Lucile stated that a purchasing policy is needed for this Board which defines capital assets. Don stated he had called a couple of state offices and they would like to discuss the asset concern in person. Don, Tim and possibly Kathy will try to meet with them in January 2023 to get direction. Lucile stated that the electricity for the vehicle outlets at the Glenrock Housing Authority needs to be paid by GHA. Nancie stated the Glenrock dining room will be open again next Monday. Also, the Glenrock sign is not working and that may be a connectivity issue. The software program is also difficult to use. She will call the software company. Nancie would like to take down the wall at the Douglas Center that separates the staff from the public. This should allow for a better atmosphere. Don brought up possible ideas for expansion of services that he had heard from various resources. One was that Subaru will donate a vehicle for Meals on Wheels. Nancie stated the centers don't qualify as they are not part of the Meals on Wheels program. Other programs discussed were dementia services, respite care, adult day care, and nursing services. Nancie stated that finding employees has been difficult which makes expanding services hard to do. Kathy moved to approve the CY 2023 meeting dates as submitted, Don seconded, motion carried.

A motion was made to accept treasurer report by Bill and seconded by Tim. Motion passed. Discussion on Bylaws: Kathy took the Platte Country Bylaws and copied what they had and changed wording from Platte County to Converse County. Some changes were made to meet Wyoming State Statute. As State Statute requires we are elected and then decide who will serve 2 years and who will serve 4 years. Under Board of Trustees, State Statute 16-4-401 through 408 will replace the current verbiage. Under Board of Trustees, Part 3, all Wyoming Law references will be changed to Wyoming State Statute. In Board of Trustees, Part 5, it was decided to omit last sentences pertaining to an ordinance. Kathy changed grammar under the secretary duties to read that the Secretary will take minutes at all meetings. Kathy advised that under Treasurer Duties it is required that the Treasurer be bonded. Kathy will need to find out how to get bonded. The Board decided to keep Article 5 as written. Tim brought up changing Article 1 part 2 to read the purpose of the District will be the preservation and protection of Senior citizen programs and approval of funding by the senior board for such projects.

Tim made a motion to accept the Bylaws as discussed with the understanding that amendments may need to be made. Motion seconded by Bill.

The Board needs to determine what is needed and then go to county commissioners and ask for startup funds. Such funds are opening a checking account, advertising, purchase of recorder, computer, etc. Ron added that the Board should ask for an office for the filing system and public notices. Ron will make a list of needs and he and Tim will meet with the Commissioners for the request.

Kathy visited with Joel Schell, County Treasurer and Julie Melder, Accountant. Ms. Melder currently does the audits for the Glenrock Hospital District, so she is familiar with Wyoming State Statute requirements. Kathy will invite Joel Schell to the next meeting to discuss financial issues. New Business – Request by Senior Housing: Guests, Laurie Seipel, Stephanie Hagemann and Brad Sishc from the Riverside Plaza I and II were recognized. They questioned funding possibilities. They explained that Riverside Plaza I was built prior to the requirements of a fire sprinkler system. Guest, Casper Smith discussed the need for a new generator for the Douglas Senior Center. Mr. Smith will get cost estimates for a new generator. Bill suggested that there should be more than one local contractor who fixes generators and it is important to also include a maintenance plan. New Business: There was a discussion about who to go to if there is an emergency in the senior centers, such as, heating and cooling etc. It was stated that a request would go to the Commissioners until funding is available to the District Board. There was discussion on the possibility of the District Board meeting with the Converse County Aging Board to look at a Memorandum of Understanding. Platte County developed a Memorandum of Understanding with their senior center. Kathy will email that agreement to all our Board for review.

April Converse County Senior Citizen Service District Board Douglas Court House May 13, 2019 Members Present: Tim Ricker, Bill Canaday, Joanne Desmarais and Ron Yates Members Absent: Kathy Patceg Others Present: Nancie Fink, Russ Broderdorp, Bob McCormick The meeting was called to order a 10:00 AM. Bill read the minutes from the last meeting. Ron made a motion to accept minutes as read. Motion seconded by Joanne and all in favor passed motion. Financial Report: Joanne went to Staples and check on 3 computers (one for Kathy, one for Bill and one for Joanne.) They will download Quick Books, Professional office, printer, virus protection and tech support. The cost will be $2,790. Up to 6 people can download the Quick Books program. All computers will have professional office. The printer is not made for printing many copies at one time. Joanne put in the budget for $3,000 so a recorder and supplies needed for printer could also be purchased. Tim let Board members know there is now operational funds of $39,000 in the account. Old Business: The Riverside Plaza requested moneys. Tim talked to Lucile Taylor and was told we could possibly make a loan with agreement payment. Lucile will get back to Tim. The Riverside Plaza is a government funded entity and they should pay for it. The HUD program is government funded and by law the Board is not allowed to give them money from the mill levy because of state statues. The moneys are to be used for the Senior Centers. Ron said he was asked since they were seniors if the money could be used. There will be further discussions after talking with Lucile. Nancie Fink has read the state statues and has not found anything that says you can go outside the two Senior Centers. Question was why don’t they go through the County Commissioners for funding. Bob McCormick advised that he believes this funding is for Senior Centers and not Senior Housing and that this is going to be voted on again in 2021 and was originally voted on for Senior Centers only. By-laws have already been adopted from Wheatland’s By-Laws. The bank account signatures will be Tim, Joanne and Kathy with only two signatures needed when writing a check. Members signed bank papers authorizing information for the bank. Training Review needed to be more informative of situation for the District and general.

New Business: Tim and Kathy met with Joel Schell and Dixie Huxtable about operational aspects of where and range of uses of money. Tim will try to schedule training with Joel to discuss range of uses. Joel thought remolding was ok but did not know about new structures. Nancie Fink thought that there could be changes and repairs but not new construction. Discussion on parking lots: The city owns the land only and the centers must take care of what is on the land. There has been some work started to see what it will take to repair parking lot. The senior board will get information and summit to the District Board. When can the construction start? Board needs more information. Tim stated that our By-Laws say Converse County Senior Service District and Service needs to be changed to Special District. By-Laws will be amended to Special. The deadline for budget is June 1st. Sometime in June there needs to be a public meeting on the proposed Budget. Board needs to adopt the budget within three days of public meeting.
