Commission Members Present: Sherol Howard, Dale Geving, Albin Olson, Jane Kubitz, Selda

Staff Members Present: Kara Wickenhauser Staff Members Absent: Sharmin Al-Jaff
Meeting was called to order by Sherol Howard at 9:40am
Update on Congregate Dining: Kitchen has yet to be completed. All kitchen supplies were
ordered and expected to be delivered within the next couple days. The total cost of the supplies
for the kitchen and congregate dining dishes came to roughly $1,300.00. With the TCF
$1,000.00 donation we have only a $300.00 difference to subsidize. The Meals on Wheels
supplies are not ordered at this time due to the lack of funds. Another $1,500.00 is needed to
cover the remaining kitchen supplies cost and to also cover for all the Meals on Meals supplies.
Supply sheets were passed around to all Commission members. A Kitchen Coordinator has yet to
be hired. The City has passed this responsibility to the CAP Agency. The CAP Agency will then
be responsible for all training and hiring issues. A sign-up sheet is being passed around to all the
Senior Center groups to drum up interest in volunteering time to the Congregate Dining program.
A Senior Information Line report was given by Kara. Phone calls are staying steady at 19 calls
for the month of July. The computer donated by IBM will be delivered at the end of August. A
training session for First Call Net will be organized sometime in October.
