Minutes of Monthly Board Meeting Tuesday, February 24, 2026 Present Board Members - David Troutman, Lydia May, Herb Gregory, Dan Frazier, Carol Young, Uppinder Mehan, and Simone Fearon. Staff Present - Sarah Walker, Executive Director Absent Board Members - Karami Underwood Call to Order: David Troutman called the meeting to order at 8:03 a.m. The meeting was held in the dining room due to the lack of heat in most of the building. Minutes from the Last Months: Dan Frazier made a motion to approve the January 2026 minutes. Herb Gregory seconded. The motion passed. Committee Reports: Finance Committee: Accountants David & Nathan Mathis were present and reviewed our financial reports. There is serious concern that the auditor will not have completed the audit in time for new funding requests, so Sarah and David Mathis will go for an in-person meeting as the auditor has also failed to reply to emails and phone calls. David Mathis will step in if needed to prepare a required tax form. He, of course, could not also do an audit for us. We have received a bid for a new auditor, but the proposed cost is much more than what we had expected and paid in previous years, so there is much more work to be done in this area. Nominating Committee: David informed us that the city has not yet confirmed the new board member candidate, Jennifer Cook, as they have not held a meeting since our proposal. The next meeting will be on March 10th. We still have a couple of vacancies to fill. Personnel Committee: Sarah informed us that Shirley Dunning will be retiring as of April 2026. Jerry Humm, a MOW driver of 17 years has stepped down from his position. Bylaws and Policies Committee: No report. Director’s Report: See Sarah’s Report. Assistant Director’s Report: No report this month. Old Business Building Update: Sarah provided information on the progress of our building including the scheduled demolition of the older non-usable portion of the building. Fundraising/ Grants: See Sarah’s Report New Business Sarah reviewed the launch of our capital campaign. This includes media coverage, sharing of social media posts and several speaking engagements. Sarah has sent over 100 information packets to local businesses and churches that outline donations and naming opportunities. There will be a Home Care Fair held at the Center on May 9th and the vendors will be donating funds to us in lieu of paying a vendor fee to participate. Sarah also outlined a potential community fund raiser involving a jigsaw puzzle contest. This is quite different than most area fund raisers and is very appropriate as many of our seniors actively participate in solving puzzles at the center. Comments and Announcements: David and Sarah will be meeting with the Mayor on March 3rd in order to discuss their financial support of our new building. Nathan and David Mathis may also be able to attend in order to answer any financial questions. Herb Gregory has spoken with the owner of G&O Grill, and they have agreed to donate several shelving units that could be used in the new building for Walt’s Closet or other needs. Adjournment Carol Young made a motion to adjourn at 8:58 a.m, Uppinder Mehan seconded. The motion passed. The next board meeting date will be March 24, 2026 at 8:00am.
