Rodna will revise the schedule for approval at the January meeting. The January meeting will be held on January 8, 2010 at 8:00 a.m. as the first Friday in January is on the New Years Holiday. By-Laws Review Lisa noted that the Governance Committee will be reviewing the By-Laws in 2010. Presentation: Teresa Allen Teresa explained that the reports that the Committee sees show only meals that are funded by the Senior Millage and that Community Action gets funding from other sources that provide meals too. She explained that even though it may look on our reports like people in a certain area are not being served, that is not necessarily true. Senior Millage provides about 50% of meal funding in Calhoun County for meals provided by Community Action. Teresa explained that they received a 15% reduction in funding from the State in July and that they expect even more reduction in 2010. She went on to explain that they have been able to adjust so that they will still be providing meals but that they may not be provided in the exact manner as in the past. They will be evaluating their process. Discussion Items/Old Business: Member Recruitment Rodna explained that Carl is talking with Kate Kennedy to fill the last vacancy on this committee. She is from Battle Creek and works at Minority Health Partners. Rodna announced to members that Tom Hunsdorfer has put in his resignation from his position Forks Senior Center Executive Director, effective December 31, 2009. She explained that Carl will be supporting the Forks Senior Center during their transition period and he will be sitting in on the interviews for the new Executive Director. New Business: Rodna noted that Carl is interested in arranging for a Health Fair in the spring in Marshall. Carl is hoping to work with Oaklawn Hospital and Marshall House. Members were supportive of this idea. Lisa asked that Rodna speak about the Critical Signal Technologies Mini Grant. Since Rodna was not at the Board of Commissioners meeting, Becky explained that when the Board of Commissioners was voting on the 2010 funding recommendation. Karla Fales and Margerite Linteau of Critical Signal Technologies addressed the Board and requested additional funding for CST to help with starting a new service. Carl suggested the Board of Commissioners approve an additional $5,000 for Critical Signal Technologies, as it is difficult to start a new program for such a small Grant. He proposed that it could be in the form of a Mini Grant or an addition to the current recommendation of $5,000 by a transfer from the Administrative Budget. Becky reported that the Board of Commissioners agreed, but that they wanted it to come back to this committee first. Jill made a motion to approve the additional $5,000 for Critical Signal Technologies. Jennie supported the motion. Motion Carried. Citizens Time There were no citizens present who chose to speak at this time. Announcements SMAC Holiday Gathering: December 11, 2009-6:00 p.m. at Rodna Stealy’s home. Rodna provided flyers including a map to her home. Adjournment Mary made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Joanne supported the motion.
