3 need to have a similar fee schedule in place for both the Seymour and COSC/Sportsplex senior fitness centers. Ms. Soltys suggested that UNC Hospital be charged rent for the physical therapy services it is providing at the Seymour Center as Medicare is being billed for those services. Fred Schroeder requested clarification of the types of activities that were available for scholarship assistance. It was suggested that the term ‘center- based services’ be added to the description. Jack Chestnut emphasized that the fees collected will be used to pay the trainer and for repair/replacement of the exercise equipment. The suggested limit for scholarships remains $250 annually. A final review of the fee scale and scholarship policy will be made at a futre meeting. Florence Soltys distributed and highlighted the latest Aging legislation review. She noted that the mobile dental access legislation had passed, which means that $200,000 will be available for the Orange/Durham/Chatham pilot project. In his Director’s Report Jerry Passmore stated that the ‘In Praise of Age’ public access program is moving toward production of its new shows at the Seymour Center. Fred Schroeder asked if, in light of the upcoming changes in accessing the airwaves, there would be a broader distribution of the show. Mr. Passmore reported that the Food/Nutrition Study Committee met with Bateman Catering’s regional representative. There is interest in expanding beyond a hot meal served at noon to a soup and salad bar available throughout midday. Bateman’s is developing a proposal to provide this expanded meal service. The Committee will meet again at the end of the month. In conclusion Mr. Passmore announced that the MAP goals and objectives will be reviewed at the September 12 meeting at the Seymour Center. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. Respectfully submitted, Jerry M. Passmore, Secretary
