ITEM 4'
PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
Linda Swarner -- Kenai Peninsula Food Bank
Swarner gave an overview of the Kenai Peninsula Food Bank and services they offer.
She also noted they are a non-profit; a United Way agency; the Kenai Senior Center is
one of their active agencies; and they are a member of the Food Bank of Alaska and
Second Harvest (nationwide food bank). She also discussed the importance of
community food drives and donations to enable them to fill their shelves and offer
emergency food boxes to those needing them in the area.
Swarner also reported a one dollar donation purchases 11 pounds of food from the
Food Bank of Alaska for the Bank's distribution.
ITEM 5'
OLD BUSINESS
Discussion -- Assisted Living Project Update
Director Craig reported the Senior Connection were successful in acquiring the
necessary insurance required; an update of the market study will be done with the
cost shared with the Nikiski Senior Center; and, the Connection has discussed a
contract with James McConnell as a coordinator and who will develop grant
applications for funding the project. O'Connell has stated he will not request a salary
unless he is successful in acquiring funding.
Craig also noted, during a presentation at the November 5 council meeting,
representatives from the Kenaitze Indian Tribe noted their interest in working with the
Connection on this project along with South Central Counseling.
ITEM 6:
NEW BUSINESS
Discussion -- Winter Months Salad Bar/Portions
Craig explained, the cost of food and especially lettuce and other fresh salad
vegetables are much higher during the winter months. She suggested omitting the
salad bar in January, February and March. Craig also noted, there have been
comments from seniors that less food would be wasted if portions were smaller.
Though she would be willing to give carry-out boxes for leftovers from the individual
meals, there is some concern of people taking advantage of that ability as well, which
will continue to inflate the meal costs.
The issues were discussed and the following action was taken:
MOTION:
Member Hollier MOVED to discontinue the salad bar for January, February and
March while the cost of lettuce, etc. is so high. Member Osborn SECONDED the
motion. There were no objections.
MOTION:
Member Huddleston MOVED to try cafeteria-style serving of the lunch meals starting
December 1, 2003 and Member Hollier SECONDED the motion. There were no
objections. SO ORDERED.
It was noted, with seniors taking only the amount and what they wanted and the staff
serving the portions, the waste will diminish as well as the cost.
Discussion-- Strategic Planning and Goals
Jurgensen explained he and Craig discussed the membership development of goals/
and objectives for the senior program. Items to consider would be expanding age ~
groups (line dancing, making seats available on vans for outings, etc.); what directions
to go to serve the seniors in the best way; and, what are the community's needs. Craig
was requested to place this issue on the January meeting agenda.

7-b. Director-- Craig noted the following:
· She used some grant funds she received to attend a three-day conference
on senior mobility and transportation. She stated it was a very good conference and
there was a lot of discussion relating to rural areas with transit systems working with
senior centers to make transportation available for the whole community. Craig
stated, with funds being cut, senior centers are being encouraged to investigate how
they can work with other agencies to better provide services to non-seniors to generate
revenue.

is in need of volunteers to sell, take tickets, and serve meals.
