Council Member Massie SECONDED the motion. Molloy reviewed the changes he included in his amended resolution draft: 9 A requirement for separate deeds. • The two entities are not equal, i.e. the Senior Connection is a traditional charity and Frontier Services is not and could participate more in the cost of the property acquisition. i The "now, therefore" paragraph includes reference to "non-profit senior assisted living facility" which he believed had been an omission. In discussing the Molloy amendments, McConnell stated they had no objection to separate deeds; he disagreed with the comment Frontier Services was not a non-profit as Frontier Services receives funding the same as the Senior Connection; and, the use of "transfer" instead of "donate" would be problematic with the funding agencies.
