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).

(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.

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

Nancie said the CCAS Board was all in favor of the purchases and she believed it was a cost savings to their food budget. 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.

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. The meeting adjourned at 10:58 a.m. Tim Ricker, President Lucile K. Taylor, Secretary
