Unfinished business A. Position Justification for the Port Senior Center: The Commission is asking the Finance & Personnel committee to approve a Program Assistant position for 11-12 hours per week at 299 starting January 2006. For 2007 the position would be for 599 hours. Catherine presented this position to the City Administrator, Mark Grams, and he mentioned there would not be enough money in the budget to cover this position at 599 hours. The Director asked how other Departments had added positions and it was stated that these Departments budgeted for a portion of the hours one year and then the full hours the following year. This was done to prepare him for the Commissions vote on the budget and begin discussion on alleviating the staffing problem at the Center for vacation days, regular days when present assistant is not scheduled, and potential for sick days. Volunteers should not be relied on and are a good augmentation of the program, office, and classes. B. Flooring Estimates - The board has decided to leave the floor drain free of carpeting. Carl Federspiel mentioned that the floor drain should not have carpet around it due to any future flooding or wetness. Estimated total cost is $5199.00 minus the extra carpeting and labor. Warren Haseley made a motion to accept Lueptow’s bid for flooring costs with the understanding that the price would be adjusted. JoAnn Stade seconded. Motion carried. 5. New business A. 2006 Preliminary Budget - Aldermen Harold Matthews made a motion to accept the 2006 budget of $85,560.00 which includes a new Program Assistant position totaling 299 additional hours. Carl Federspiel seconded. Discussion: The position was discussed under old business. The fixed expenses were increased according to directions from the City Administrator. A comment was made that it is hard to cut when it is close to the basic. The Director commented that the past two years supplies, conferences, miscellaneous were held and this year they were increased by 3%. There may be additional savings in the telephone expense as the city had a review and some adjustment was made. JoAnn Stade abstained. Motion carried. 6. Director’s Report A.

Mr. George Lampert moved to accept the April Summary as presented and Alderman Harold Matthews seconded the motion. Discussion arose on the programs and the financial viability for them. The Director mentioned that some programs do not always bring in money to cover the instructor that is why there is fundraising. Mrs. Kiener also mentioned that there are several programs that also bring in extra funds such as Yoga, watercolor, chi kung, and aqua exercise. This additional revenue is used towards the programs or classes that do not quite break even. There was no further discussion and the motion carried. Unfinished Business A. The Commission members reviewed the position justification table presented by the Director Mrs. Kiener. Mrs. Bruner commented that the need for the future requires an increase in hours especially when considering the statistics from the state on the overall population growth for the City and Town. The most rapid growth will be in the 60 and over age group. From 1990 – 2000 the older population increased by 27%. By 2025 it is projected the over 60 age group will increase 1 ½ times what it is today. Alderman Matthews feels the position is justified especially given all the new development in the city. Mr. Haseley asked what is the next step? It is thought to be the finance committee or personnel committee.

The Center funds a tracfone for the Director to have on day trips, meetings out of the office, etc. The City policy will be applied to use of the tracfone as appropriate. E. The Auto Policy was summarized for the Commission. The Center staff members will also sign this policy. The policy is not applicable at this time, as there is no city vehicle allocated to the center. Mr. Warren Haseley asked whom in the city checks that an employee is valid to drive? The departments that have the vehicles probably do it. Director’s Report F. Senior Center Board Items The Director, Mrs. Kiener mentioned an error on the ballot in number of positions being elected. The number was listed as 5 but 6 actually should have been listed. The slate of candidates was 6 individuals. Originally there were 9 but by the time the ballot was drafted, 3 people changed their minds about running this year. G. May/June Events The Open Houses scheduled for Senior Center Week did not make the press, as the information was included with Transitions, which did not come out to date.

Director’s Comments The revenue from 2004 as reported by the Director did not get credited to 2004 and was missed in the audit and the remaining amount that put the center significantly over $6,000.00 was credited to 2005. The Director plans to use vacation and comp time to take off the end of June, July, & August. I.

C. Strategic Planning Process is under way. The committee held its second meeting and Mr. Dick Stoughton, a member of the Center and Greenfelt Club, is leading the group. Mrs. Bruner gave an update. The small group to date has taken on different tasks. Mrs. Bruner is gathering demographics to help evaluate the present numbers to future potential.

Mr. Stoughton has sketched out the facility and measured space. The staff has started a list of building needs. Mrs. Kiener mentioned there is no one-way to prepare a strategic plan. The Commission discussed some of the ideas of an expansion and the need for a foundation to benefit the Senior Center was mentioned. Additional members were unable to be at the last meeting. D. Recommendation on Senior Center growth as related to staffing, Mrs. Kiener mentioned the Administrative Intern report from 2003 were it is mentioned the continued use and growth necessitates a review of adding hours that were reduced in the 1990’s from the Assistant and Director positions. The job of the Director is not the same as it was in 1998 and the position has changed and grown to accommodate technology, new members, new programs, and therefore greater workload. Ms. Stade requested the Director to develop a description of the duties that additional hours would be responsible for and decide if it is Secretarial or programming in nature. The Director is to bring this back in writing for the Commission to review. Director’s Report
E. Senior Board Items: Maple Crest is holding a senior information day in April. The Board is being asked to assist staff in representing the Center.

TRIPS: Brewere’s May 11th, Hairspray is in May, Mystery trip is set for Sept 15; and Return to Lambeau is in Aug. G. Director’s Comments 1. The Center has been relying on volunteers too much. Volunteers have a role in assisting but should not be relied on. The staff has relied on them to help when one or the other staff is on vacation. The Director has one volunteer who enjoys helping and will be out for several weeks. She has had some health issues lately that keep recurring. The Director has not had a lunch break twice in the past week and at least on 4 occasions in the past month due to relying on volunteers. This will be addressed with City Administrator and Mayor after completion of the description requested by the Commission. 2. The Director is working with a student from UW-M on field placement hours. She is leading some computer classes on Tuesday & Thursday. If she has hours left she will help with a computer project related to Center membership booklet. The feedback is she is doing a very good job. 3. AARP Tax Assistance has been more challenging this year. A volunteer who is a member of the Center has not been here the past 3 weeks to facilitate the closing of Center as was planned on. The other community project has been the Ozaukee Senior Conference planning. It will be June 14. We are trying to encourage many seniors from the county to participate. Meeting adjourned at 8:15 PM.
