Topic: Senior Center Code of Conduct

• Chuck Thornton brought an example from Ellington Senior Center to use as topic of
discu ssion and to get ideas from.
• City Manager and City Attorney will have final say before code of conduct can be
implemented.
• Miss ion statement should part of the code of conduct.
• Walliford -procedures for violations as example . Roy thinks to not hand out with initial
code of conduct. Worried that too much information at once will overwhelm seniors
and/or they won't pay as close of attention as needed to code of conduct.
• When we do finalize our code of conduct, it was suggested to have only one page and to
also have a place for signature of acknowledgement.
• Idea for a Senior Center client handbook.
o Policies & guidelines around services.
o Include the code of conduct .
• It was suggested that when a first violation happens for Admin to speak to the person in
pri vate and have them sign the code of conduct at that time, if they haven 't already.
o Kathy will need guidance from City Manager and City Attorney befo r e
implementing consequences/violations.
Thoughts/ideas speci fi c to current draft of code of conduct:
• Bullet point 1) Keep
o Change word i ng to be a little more tactful.
• Ex ample : "please bear in mind people have health issues that strong
smells, such as perfumes, bother."

o Add "bathe your animals".
• Bullet poi nt 3) Keep

• Add-
o caregivers need to stay with senior client.
o Caregivers cannot come without the senior they care fo r, are a senior
themselves and/or have permission from Admin.
• Under "Be Respectful" -
o Change order of words ..... building should come last.
• Under "Harassment" -
o Add bullying & inappropriate language & behavior.
• Under "Pandhandling" -
o Find a similar word that still conveys the message but sounds better than
panhandling.
Other thoughts/ideas to potentially add :
