12 DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN THE SUBCONTRACT AGREEMENT WITH SENIOR CITIZENS INDUSTRIES AND HALL COUNTY AND APPROVE RESOLUTION - this is the agreement with Senior Citizens. Theresa stated she wanted to update the board regarding the Wood Driver Senior Center. The City owns the center and it was flooded. They were able to continue the food program and had to move the food to another location and also delivered the meals. The city cleaned up the water replaced the furnace and the water heater and it is now ready to open back up. Theresa stated they did an excellent job. Hartman made a motion and Quandt seconded to approve Resolution #19-040 and authorize the chair to sign the agreement. Bredthauer, Hartman, Hurst, Lancaster, Quandt, Peterson and Richardson all voted yes and none voted no. Motion carried. Richardson questioned what activities they use for fund raising. Theresa stated they have cook outs that are ran by the seniors and pancake feeds. The fund raisers are usually centered around food. She stated that at one point they had a fund raiser every month. The funds are used for new equipment, table and chairs. She also stated that they signed a new agreement because when this change occurred they were not sure where they would be with the funding. She also thanked the board for the additional $40, 0000.00 that was budgeted. They requested an additional $15,000.00 and that has been a blessing to cover the additional expenses this winter. She also stated that bingo is a fund raiser and sometimes there are additional donations. They also rent space in the building for different groups that use it. SHIP also has an office there and she pays some rent. This winter the home delivered meals increased but now people are starting to come back to the center. She noted that the average age of people attending is 85. 8
