A review of the proposed budget request for FY16-17 began with the distribution of the current fiscal <br />year revenue/expenditure budget and the new items that will be included in the Department's FY16-17 <br />budget requests. Mrs. Tyler reviewed the additional evening hours at the Seymour Center, Senior <br />Times printing cost increase, and Senior Centers lobby digital monitors upgrade requests. Katherine <br />Leith noted that many Senior Center improvements are provided by the Friends' organizations. Mrs. <br />Tyler added that UNC Healthcare recently provided two new elliptical machines for the Seymour <br />Fitness Center. The FY17 budget proposal does not include the facility improvements requested in the <br />Capital Improvement Plan. Sidewalks adjacent to the Seymour Center and security camera installation <br />outside of the Central Orange Senior Center are being pursued in the current fiscal year. <br /> <br />Mary Fraser distributed the Master Aging Plan (MAP) quarterly report and reviewed the recent <br />achievements. Her highlights included planning a Complete Streets information session, organizing <br />resources for senior hunger in conjunction with Orange County Rural Alliance (OCRA), and providing <br />home repairs through the Seniors And Law Enforcement Together (SALT). <br /> <br />Ms. Fraser announced that the initial MAP Update planning process discussion identified sources such <br />as Triangle J Area Agency on Aging and AARP who have developed 'bucket lists' of senior issues that <br />can be adapted for Orange County's use in its next five year plan process. The next session will discuss <br />community buy-in, timing issues, and the role of the next summer's UNC interns. The Capstone Team <br />proposal for academic year 2016-17 is due February 1. Peggy Cohn, Keith Cook, Dan Daniel and <br />Winston Liao volunteer to assist with its preparation. Mary Fraser and Yvette Missri will make the <br />March 7 presentation to the potential Team members. <br /> <br />After Ms. Missri distributed a summary of recent SRT activities the meeting was adjourned. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Janice Tyler, Secretary <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
