noted, due to budget concerns, the City Council decided to make
some changes to the number of meetings the commissions,
committees and boards would have, changing them from monthly to
every other month. Due to this change, the Council on Aging By-
Laws would require an amendment. She asked the members if
there were any other items in the by-laws which they felt needed to
be discussed or amended. There were no comments.
Discussion -- Presentation of United Way Grant
Craig took the opportunity to review her presentation she would be
making to the United Way Board of Directors to hopefully acquire
funding for the following fiscal year. Her report included some of
the following information'
· The Kenai Senior Center has been "helping people to age
with dignity and serving older Alaskans for 32 years."
· It is a multipurpose center offering a range of services
including, meals, transportation, congregate meals, outreach,
therapeutic activities, information referral, social and community
activities, educational opportunities, etc.
· Their target population is now 75 to 80 or frail.
There are approximately 560 residents of the Peninsula
who are 80 years old or older; the Kenai Senior Center serves 267 of
those seniors.
· Their service area, based on Borough population, is one
of the largest service areas on the Peninsula; they serve home meals
from Salamatof to Clam Gulch two times a week and congregate
meals five times a week.
· The Center began in 1971 in a trailer and when the
program outgrew the trailer, they moved to Ft. Kenay.
