MEMO:
TO: Rick Koch, City Manager
FROM: Rachael S. Craig, Senior Center Director
DATE: January 29, 2013
SUBJECT: Senior Center Radios
We applied to the Mental HealthTrust small projects grant to be used to replace and
upgrade the radios for the vans and base station. This grant was not funded.
In August, we received a $10,000 donation from the Earl Jones Estate. The Estate
requested the funds to be used for a project at the senior center. It is my
recommendation we use the $10,000 donation for the Radio project and $5,000 from
the unapproprated senior center balance to fund this project.
The radios are an important piece of time management and communications between
the receptionist and drivers who transport clients to various appointments in Kenai and
Soldotna, to and from the senior center and various senior outings. There are times,
when the meals drivers(s) need to communicate via radio to the receptionist for
information, directions, etc. It is vital to be able to have the receptionist and all drivers
listen to the communications in case there is a change of schedule.
