SENIOR TAX LEVY REQUEST FROM FAMILY SERVICE AGENCY

Chairman Stoddard approached the committee about the request from the Family Service Agency (FSA) for a request of $3,920.00 for a Chronic Disease Self Management Program for Senior Citizens to be held at Family Service Agency.  He said that he met with Ms. Moulton last month where she explained that FSA wants to be able to train their staff members to hold workshops for seniors regarding chronic disease self management.   He feels that it is an appropriate request since it would help seniors to maintain their independence.

The committee discussed the request and had some questions that they need answered before they make their decision.  Some of the questions were: how many seniors will attend this(these) workshop(s); will this request be a one-time funding request or an ongoing training funding request; would a senior citizen need to attend this workshop every year as a refresher; and is there a deadline for the training sessions.

The committee decided to take no action on this item tonight until these questions are answered by Family Service Agency.

FY2012 REPORTING SCHEDULE

The committee discussed the FY2012 Reporting Schedule that Ms. Supple handed out.  They made some changes to the report and discussed the possibility of cancelling the December 2012 and the July 2012 meetings.      

ADJOURNMENT

            Moved by Mr. Metzger, Sr., and seconded by Ms. Allen, and it was carried unanimously to adjourn the meeting.

                                                            Respectfully submitted,

                                                            ________________________________

                                                            Chairman Paul Stoddard
