congregate dining survey.

City Council Meeting - March 11, 1996

Kate Aanenson: At this time of the year we're required to hold a public hearing on the 1996 -1997 allocation for
CDBG funding. This year's amount is just a little bit less than last year's, $49,940.00. As you recall, last year
we did recommend to you approval for a commercial stove and that would be to provide congregate dining and
Meals on Wheels. Two weeks ago the seniors came to you and told you that they would be conducting their
own survey about what the need was out there in the community and I've handed out to you a survey which
we'll go through in a minute. But again, keeping in mind the objectives of the CDBG dollars. Of what they
can do. We told you last year that $50,000.00 wasn't quite enough to provide everything that we needed to be
done for the stone. With the expansion, possibly of City Hall, there's an opportunity to see where it fits in best.
We do have the possibility of providing congregate dining now based on the seating capacity now that the
senior center is 4 years old. As you recall, when we did that original senior center, congregate dining was
originally a proponent and as it came down to the dollars amount, that was left out and so we did request and
we told you it would take 2 years funding to get that. If there is left over dollars, we could reallocate those
dollars. It does require a public hearing and then just a matter of reallocating those dollars. But we believe that
it's somewhere between $75,000.00 to $100,000.00 to complete that. Just to give you an update. I did pass out
this survey on congregate dining the seniors did. They had a list of over 500 households. They contacted 262.
Just to go through, they believe that there is. They asked the following questions. Would you use congregate
dining? If yes, how much and how often would you need transportation. And there is one correction on the
meals per month. It was 578. It's actually 468 they believe and that's 5 times, they don't serve on weekends so
it'd be 5 times really for 4 weeks generally...and again this would be serving Meals on Wheels and congregate
dining. So we believe the need is here now, so does the Senior Center. The need is there and as time has
progressed, more and more demands have been made on that facility. So we are recommending that $49,000.00
be applied towards the commercial stone. If you have questions of the seniors, they'd be available to comment
110 on it.
Mayor Chmiel: Okay, thank you. Are there any questions of the seniors in regard to the recommendation?
Councilwoman Dockendorf: I have a question. If we do set this up and we have the capability of doing
congregate dining, and particularly the Meals on Wheels I'm concerned with. Is that going to require future
staffing for that service or would the seniors be doing that themselves?
Kate Aanenson: There's a lot of different ways you can do it. Through service organizations. Through CAP.
There's a lot of funding resources to do that.
Councilwoman Dockendorf: So there's currently no plans on fitting it into a future city budget?
Kate Aanenson: No. Not city dollars.
Mayor Chmiel: Any other questions?
Councilwoman Dockendorf: No.
Mayor Chmiel: Mike.
Councilman Mason: No.
Mayor Chmiel: Mark.
