1
00:00:04,490 --> 00:00:10,019
um good evening or go ahead staff
meeting thank you vault appellant first

2
00:00:08,700 --> 00:00:48,090
item on the agenda is approving the
minutes go from January quality services

3
00:00:46,710 --> 00:00:52,140
they're getting and the programs of
being offer that you think it's still

4
00:00:49,710 --> 00:00:57,030
the review that's going to generate an
extra $3,000 to contribute towards the

5
00:00:54,629 --> 00:01:02,910
minimum wage increase and it's not going
to cover it all this really big bite out

6
00:00:59,309 --> 00:01:09,140
of it I don't think this wor pushback on
the community by she'll embrace it $35

7
00:01:06,119 --> 00:01:14,030
it was nobody said anything about it so
we do a lot of us a place

8
00:01:16,009 --> 00:01:29,149
questions the area still has a
scholarship program that they use this

9
00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:29,149
for he does need to join it is used I

10
00:01:30,979 --> 00:01:40,289
make a motion that's for the summer rec
program some of you saw the run sessions

11
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:45,209
right two sessions in the summertime
next time motion is made by Deana second

12
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:52,220
by Bob all in favor
thank you next time on your generous

13
00:01:48,539 --> 00:01:59,099
senior citizen discussion by Kelly
changing color okay um so first of all

14
00:01:57,299 --> 00:02:04,049
let me just say I'm very excited about
the concept of a Senior Center

15
00:02:02,220 --> 00:02:09,840
I for one know that that would be a
place that would greatly benefit my

16
00:02:06,599 --> 00:02:21,120
parents in town some fast approaching
that as my husband my house but I had

17
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:27,329
some concerns after the last council
meeting feeling like there wasn't a

18
00:02:23,730 --> 00:02:32,250
whole lot of background information
about the Senior Center and how it's

19
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:36,720
going to be run and who's running it and
who is responsible for safety and

20
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:41,069
different things like that then I
understand that it's still in interim

21
00:02:39,420 --> 00:02:47,400
stages and most of us said correct
terminology with RSU 18 and the town as

22
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:53,730
well I do remember I believe at the last
meeting you voted to approve funding it

23
00:02:50,459 --> 00:02:59,700
monthly the rent piece of it if I'm
correct in stating that once they get up

24
00:02:56,849 --> 00:03:04,769
and running I did go to the school board
meeting that they had and that was on

25
00:03:01,590 --> 00:03:06,870
the agenda and they again just discussed
that things were moving forward they had

26
00:03:06,510 --> 00:03:11,159
to find
any plans yet they still were doing some

27
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:14,730
repairs so what some things they needed
to take care of and that they didn't

28
00:03:12,599 --> 00:03:20,430
plan to come charge the town until they
were physically ready to occupy this

29
00:03:16,379 --> 00:03:24,989
space so I myself personally reached out
to sherry after reaching out to Gary for

30
00:03:23,099 --> 00:03:31,290
his guidance as to who I should talk to
so you such a sharing over and asked her

31
00:03:27,329 --> 00:03:39,060
a series of questions mostly related to
safety I for one don't want my parents

32
00:03:34,980 --> 00:03:46,260
attending a place that's not organized
and safe that's what I do for a living

33
00:03:42,590 --> 00:03:51,829
and I asked about some guidelines about
you know who gets to use it would you

34
00:03:48,690 --> 00:03:56,519
keep anybody from using it if somebody
wanted to come under the age of 16 which

35
00:03:54,629 --> 00:04:00,359
was the guideline they had but they may
love to come the response I got back was

36
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:05,790
pretty much that they haven't answered
any of those questions themselves at

37
00:04:02,129 --> 00:04:09,750
this point and that there are several
stages or phases that they're trying to

38
00:04:07,980 --> 00:04:19,849
go through and they're still in phase
one so my concern would be the idea of

39
00:04:15,709 --> 00:04:23,639
honoring a third party request for them
mostly being the fact that having

40
00:04:22,289 --> 00:04:28,320
certain kinda budget community in the
past

41
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:35,039
I know third party requests are really
scrutinized and my understanding from

42
00:04:32,970 --> 00:04:38,970
being on the advisory board in the past
was third fighting request had to have

43
00:04:36,930 --> 00:04:43,139
some kind of background behind them
making a request

44
00:04:41,129 --> 00:04:50,699
financial statement or business plan
something to that effect so my request

45
00:04:46,830 --> 00:04:55,519
to you would be to consider not honoring
that third party request for them at

46
00:04:52,529 --> 00:05:01,439
budget season until you have such
documentation like a business model plan

47
00:04:58,669 --> 00:05:06,149
some type of a financial plan for what
they're going to be doing with the

48
00:05:02,610 --> 00:05:12,330
funding and then once if you do move
forward with funding them who owns the

49
00:05:09,479 --> 00:05:17,189
things that they buy does the town on it
does the Senior Center on there if the

50
00:05:14,879 --> 00:05:21,839
Senior Center owns it and decides to go
away in five months because it's too

51
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:28,019
much work or something happened and they
can't continue what happens to all of

52
00:05:24,089 --> 00:05:32,550
that stuff that they purchase so that
essentially is it is my request is for

53
00:05:30,869 --> 00:05:39,539
you to consider not funding that without
some type of financial statement

54
00:05:36,179 --> 00:05:42,269
background or business model plan for
how things are going to progress over

55
00:05:40,860 --> 00:05:45,659
there otherwise actually like you're
really opening the door for anybody to

56
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:51,769
ask for a third party request because
they have a dream and they want it to be

57
00:05:48,869 --> 00:05:59,249
fulfilled and I understand we take
consideration of town needs differently

58
00:05:57,809 --> 00:06:02,879
than we do third prior question people
outside of town much like the food

59
00:06:00,899 --> 00:06:08,039
pantry and things like that but I kind
of feel like this is different than that

60
00:06:05,129 --> 00:06:11,929
because there's there isn't anything to
hang your hat on at this point it's

61
00:06:12,180 --> 00:06:19,330
it's a wish dream it's a plan but
there's no written documentation of a

62
00:06:17,170 --> 00:06:28,390
plan and that kind of concerns that as
taxpayer and as potentially one of my my

63
00:06:22,630 --> 00:06:31,000
family using this facility that's a good
question

64
00:06:29,050 --> 00:06:39,490
anybody here on the council have any
questions are these officer anything you

65
00:06:33,340 --> 00:06:43,720
like to right along with them they plan
to have any of this information

66
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:48,010
available before we do but Ruby what the
last of February we did with the third

67
00:06:45,700 --> 00:06:52,020
part of her question a daughter was in a
severe she stopped yesterday

68
00:07:02,730 --> 00:07:12,760
yeah Kelly you first your first concern
and I think our concern about safety

69
00:07:09,130 --> 00:07:18,660
what is the and at least the physical
safety of the facility is being

70
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:24,220
addressed by our SEO a team that had a
inspection done you heard about it them

71
00:07:21,910 --> 00:07:29,830
let's go board meeting those are all
safety concerns that we had we

72
00:07:27,550 --> 00:07:36,760
definitely agree with the risk
management's assessment of problem you

73
00:07:33,550 --> 00:07:44,200
know potential problems and hopefully
the school board seemed to be willing to

74
00:07:39,780 --> 00:07:48,940
attack those safety issues now the
officers of the building I asked you for

75
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:53,680
your take care the safety concerns that
I've had that I expressed to Sherry

76
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:56,950
where will there be somebody CPR first
aid certified

77
00:07:54,700 --> 00:08:00,460
AED on-site but would be a landline
phone available for people who don't

78
00:07:58,870 --> 00:08:03,100
know how to use cell phones my mother
being one of them put a cell phone in

79
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:11,320
front of her and she wouldn't even begin
to know how to turn it on in the kitchen

80
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:16,330
it was bad now one thing is we are going
to have someone CPR certified First Aid

81
00:08:13,780 --> 00:08:21,610
certified I have looked into the price
of and now in the 80s and to fibular yes

82
00:08:19,870 --> 00:08:28,360
I've looked into the price of those
there's a 1200 to 1500 dollars for basic

83
00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:37,600
models so all these concerns are in your
mind maybe someone would donate one to

84
00:08:33,670 --> 00:08:43,450
us but we will have and one of the parts
of the program we intend to have as for

85
00:08:40,570 --> 00:08:48,420
example people to come in and have at
least one hour a week of some sort of

86
00:08:46,540 --> 00:08:54,490
health-related
education and CPR would probably to be

87
00:08:52,660 --> 00:09:01,930
the first one but yeah it will have some
CPR we will have first aid trained

88
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:08,770
people there and also we are in
proximity to the fire department and

89
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:16,300
police department so we feel how long
would it take to get from a street to

90
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:21,760
your ten minutes yeah it would be in
minutes because we are in proximity to

91
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:30,700
the president you know the first
responders in town so other any other

92
00:09:26,350 --> 00:09:36,820
questions the fact is our ICU 18 is also
leaving us have a lot of the furniture

93
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:43,930
that was in the building they've been
very generous to us so we it's just some

94
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:49,570
tables this is what we're looking for if
we can get them without spending any

95
00:09:46,510 --> 00:09:56,230
money but basically we want round tables
because they're more sociable and that

96
00:09:53,460 --> 00:10:00,540
basically what what the third party
request was for because the rsuh in has

97
00:09:59,860 --> 00:10:05,780
given us
Cheers that we need bookshelves etc etc

98
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:19,020
tonight is there a he in the
administrative office of I don't have an

99
00:10:16,410 --> 00:10:23,460
answer for that I can not some of the
buildings if I had to guess I would say

100
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:29,300
that it must be the hours that they're
there this would be one right never

101
00:10:25,380 --> 00:10:36,600
doorway that's all I don't know if then
there is one in that building

102
00:10:31,380 --> 00:10:40,050
yeah as I know I'm a IDI trained epic
pen turning first aid CPR but you're out

103
00:10:39,450 --> 00:10:45,780
there every day
no I hope you know one day a week well

104
00:10:44,100 --> 00:10:50,970
these are just any when they're creating
their business play these things that I

105
00:10:47,070 --> 00:10:55,950
met them to address just for safety
reasons I mean what they recognize

106
00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:03,150
science and sometimes somebody having a
stroke that's pertinent to that age

107
00:10:58,110 --> 00:11:08,550
group signs of you know early stage
dementia where they start becoming

108
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:14,430
violent for no reason I mean those are
all things that I have concerns up where

109
00:11:10,740 --> 00:11:20,130
seniors are gathering other than you
know on a show make social occasion so I

110
00:11:17,460 --> 00:11:25,320
have a great suggestion for you your
concerns are all valid and very well

111
00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:29,160
done thought through so probably what
you ought to do is go back to sherry

112
00:11:26,810 --> 00:11:32,320
because right now we're just sitting
here waiting and watching to see how

113
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:35,889
they're going to run it so
don't want to cost the taxpayers any

114
00:11:33,790 --> 00:11:40,509
more money so if you go back to Sharia
never get it hold on a senior spectrum

115
00:11:38,199 --> 00:11:44,320
in Waterville the muskies ever and ever
say you know could you fill this wish

116
00:11:42,130 --> 00:11:47,500
list for me and I can support it and I
can hear it and carry on and help

117
00:11:45,759 --> 00:11:50,680
support it and that would help a lot of
things other than sitting here telling

118
00:11:48,639 --> 00:11:54,040
us what you like and about being mean
about you're saying that it just think I

119
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:58,779
think it's a right way to go if seeing a
spectrum has done this and they have

120
00:11:55,420 --> 00:12:03,459
gatherings of elderly citizens of the
town and they have done it to use me as

121
00:12:01,810 --> 00:12:07,720
a problem I know all these little ins
and outs and all these little things

122
00:12:04,779 --> 00:12:12,970
that they can help them yes and on the
20th of February there's a meeting of

123
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:19,000
senior centers from Wiscasset knowledge
of the state and we're going to plan to

124
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:23,050
attend that very good idea dawn just to
reiterate you know and summarize I guess

125
00:12:21,430 --> 00:12:28,720
what we're hearing is there's an awful
lot of things that we as a council and

126
00:12:26,589 --> 00:12:34,660
the community doesn't have a sense of
what's going on and before we give a

127
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:39,310
complete blessing of the project I guess
we need to have that I've heard Richmond

128
00:12:36,940 --> 00:12:44,319
mentioned and now a senior spectrum and
this being you're going to we need to

129
00:12:41,470 --> 00:12:48,940
have a concrete this is what our plan of
action is this is who's going to be on

130
00:12:46,690 --> 00:12:53,980
hand each day or we're rotating one
person a week it's going to be open from

131
00:12:50,649 --> 00:12:56,589
these hours for those hours there's
going to be food there's not going to be

132
00:12:55,269 --> 00:13:01,329
food there's gonna be cooking there's
not you know all those little details

133
00:12:58,209 --> 00:13:04,690
that make a program work we need to have
a sense of what that really is going to

134
00:13:02,769 --> 00:13:10,779
look like people yeah we put that on the
agenda for the next meeting I will have

135
00:13:07,149 --> 00:13:13,750
a document it is I don't know if there's
a timetable that we need to look at

136
00:13:12,430 --> 00:13:26,410
we're looking at third party requests
coming up yeah no I'm just

137
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:32,740
as soon as we can I like to have
release me a complete plan that is going

138
00:13:30,129 --> 00:13:36,970
to spell out to us and the citizens of
the town what we're proposing to do

139
00:13:35,050 --> 00:13:40,449
because of Hailey's thinking of this how
many other people are thinking of this

140
00:13:38,620 --> 00:13:44,589
and these how I should tweak an answer
but I think that would be the best thing

141
00:13:42,009 --> 00:13:47,529
to do I shouldn't say you go back to to
Sheree but you would like to share with

142
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:51,970
your group will go back to your group
they say look these are things were

143
00:13:49,029 --> 00:13:56,110
looking for and put him down and Alomar
already decided we have been discussing

144
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:59,319
them so we'll put it in writing and get
do you guys watch and don't I spend

145
00:13:57,970 --> 00:14:03,160
about an hour and a half with me
yesterday and she laid this out with me

146
00:14:01,540 --> 00:14:07,389
she you know she explained the hours
where they were at it may be the

147
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:11,319
information has been as forthcoming as
what I would like to see but I think

148
00:14:09,250 --> 00:14:20,019
that's going to change and don't you can
get that information to me if you can

149
00:14:13,060 --> 00:14:28,420
wait until that meeting Thanks so this
will be a town funded Senior Center with

150
00:14:23,589 --> 00:14:33,569
no County that has not been blessed yet
I have my own personal feelings on them

151
00:14:30,699 --> 00:14:40,899
and I think needs one of us to also I
