The possibility of changing the meeting schedule from monthly to bi-monthly was discussed. It

cancellation through the City Clerk when there were no items for a meeting agenda.
7. REPORTS
a. Senior Center Director – Director Romain noted Tawni Eubank had been hired as
the new Activities and Volunteer Coordinator.
b. Council on Aging Chair – Williams noted his concern whether the Council on Aging

to hearing loss, balance issues, isolation, etc. He requested the members to prepare
a list of issues that affected seniors over a long period and bring it to the next
meeting for further discussion.
c. City Council Liaison – Pettey reported the following:
• Participation in the dip net fishery were down from previous years resulting in
reduced funds collected at approximately $175,000 less than from previous years
which averaged $500,000.
• The bluff erosion project was now being reviewed in Hawaii and would then be
sent back to Washington, DC. She hoped she would have more news by the
