2 <br />operation for the Seymour Center will be reduced to Tuesday and Thursday evenings and <br />Saturday mornings as of September 1. <br /> <br />Janice Tyler was asked to review a draft of the Facility Use Policy for inclusion in the <br />county-wide policy scheduled for review by the Board of County Commissioners in <br />August. She distributed draft copies of both the departmental and County policies. She <br />pointed out scheduling priorities and time frames. Future meetings with Asset <br />Management and Purchasing Services Director Pam Jones will define how fees are <br />determined and collected. The Department on Aging will propose $15.00 per hour for <br />staffing facility rentals. Jerry Passmore suggested Section 5.1.1 be amended to say the <br />Department on Aging and other entities. The Chair asked that changes be made to assure <br />that the Friends organizations be exempt from rental fees when conducting fundraising <br />activities after normal business hours. Discussion followed and Advisory Board <br />members were encouraged to contact Ms. Tyler with any suggestions for change. <br />Following adoption of the Facility Use Policy by the Board of County Commissioners, a <br />specific fee schedule for each Department will be proposed. This fee will include <br />staffing, utilities, and equipment replacement costs. Ms. Tyler informed the Advisory <br />Board that the Seymour Center will no longer have a janitor on site after July 1. <br /> <br />Jerry Passmore asked for comments on the functional-structural analysis of the nursing <br />home and adult care home community advisory committees. Peggy Cohn reported that <br />the Nursing Home Committee had previous discussed the possibility of consolidation <br />with the Adult Care Home Committee and was not in favor of the merger. She also <br />relayed the Nursing Home Committee’s consideration of changing to a bi-monthly <br />meeting schedule. She stressed the challenge of attending multiple meetings and <br />recruiting qualified members. <br /> <br />The Chair asked for committee reports. Heather Altman announced that Laura Deloye <br />has just agreed to be the new project manager for the Chatham-Orange CRC, replacing <br />Beth Lamanna. Leo Allison reported that the Friends of Central Orange Senior Center <br />have elected new officers and adopted their fundraising schedule for FY 2010-11. Steve <br />Lackey announced that the Friends of the Seymour Center also elected new officers in <br />May and will meet in late June to discuss fundraising. Jerry Passmore thanked both <br />Friends organizations for their support of the October 1 Anniversary event. <br /> <br />There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br />Jerry M. Passmore <br />Secretary <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
