she would report the resignation to the Director who will seek out others to apply for
the position.
Roger Meeks - Reported he had received inquiries from a couple of people who live in
Vintage Pointe. He was asked to suggest changes to the apartment roles, etc. Hollier
and Pease stated suggestions, concerns, etc. are to first be forwarded to the managers of
Vintage Pointe. Those suggestions, concerns, etc. are then passed on to the Senior
Center Director and to Administration if necessary. Meeks suggested a note with this
information could be placed on the doors of the tenants. Hollier added the information
is included in the leases and all the tenants. There are also forms available in the
Manager's office to fill out and pass on suggestions, concerns, etc. Meeks stated he was
personally happy with the way the housing complex was running, however he was asked
to bring the concern to the Council and he said he would do that.
Loretta Breeden - a. Assisted Living Complex - Asked if there had been any news in
regard to the building of the proposed assisted living complex. Pease stated he had
heard nothing more about it other than it is to be built. Hollier stated she had attended
a meeting in Soldotna regarding an assisted living complex they are hoping to build
there. There seems to be a large amount of interest in these types of living quarters.
Soldotna is hoping to build their complex in the year 2000. A( this time they are looking
for financing. Hollier added the meeting was very interesting. They also discussed tax
credits and tax shelters.

shovel more out of the way.
