Old Business
• Building Update: Jeff Canter has given the committee a building plan. John is meeting
with him again to go over a few questions. John is confident they are getting closer to a
finalized plan.
• Kitchen staff update: The pay increase has significantly improved the hiring of new staff
members in the kitchen and the driving routes.
• Meals on Wheels update (shelf stable meals): the shelf stable meals and the frozen meals
are not options for the kitchen to use. The kitchen could make their own meals and freeze
them but that's also not a solution. Due to the COVID mandate finally being over the
previous approval processes for Meals on Wheels are now in place. Robin has a waitlist
of seniors awaiting approval.
New Business
• Eckstein Grants: The Senior Center received two grant donations from the Eckstein
Family Charitable Foundation. This was unexpected and very exciting. Some discussion
occurred on how best to steward these gifts, but no hard decisions were made.
Kitchen Oven Replacement: The Kitchen needs a new oven. The used one is not
operating as expected. The board discussed using some of the Eckstein grant money to
purchase a new oven that can be transported to the new facility when the time comes.
Executive Session to discuss personnel: The Board was asked to stay after the meeting
concluded to have a private discussion about the hiring of a new executive director.
Comments and Announcements
