It was stated that the program can begin in March of 1998. The main
issue deals with the service boundaries. Joan Lynch explained that there
is service provided by South Shore Senior Center for the area north of
Highway 5. Therefor, the Chanhassen CAP Senior Nutrition Site will
only provide Meals on Wheels service to the portion located south of
Highway 5. A meeting should be coordinated between Cap, South
Shore, St. Huberts, and City Staff. The cost of the meal will be $2.50
instead of the $2.25 charged at the Senior Center.
