[0:08] item on the agenda is approving the
minutes go from January quality services
[0:46] they're getting and the programs of
being offer that you think it's still
[0:49] the review that's going to generate an
extra $3,000 to contribute towards the
[0:54] minimum wage increase and it's not going
to cover it all this really big bite out
[0:59] of it I don't think this wor pushback on
the community by she'll embrace it $35
[1:06] it was nobody said anything about it so
we do a lot of us a place
[1:16] questions the area still has a
scholarship program that they use this
[1:23] for he does need to join it is used I
[1:30] make a motion that's for the summer rec
program some of you saw the run sessions
[1:38] right two sessions in the summertime
next time motion is made by Deana second
[1:44] by Bob all in favor
thank you next time on your generous
[1:48] senior citizen discussion by Kelly
changing color okay um so first of all
[1:57] let me just say I'm very excited about
the concept of a Senior Center
[2:02] I for one know that that would be a
place that would greatly benefit my
[2:06] parents in town some fast approaching
that as my husband my house but I had
[2:18] some concerns after the last council
meeting feeling like there wasn't a
[2:23] whole lot of background information
about the Senior Center and how it's
[2:29] going to be run and who's running it and
who is responsible for safety and
[2:34] different things like that then I
understand that it's still in interim
[2:39] stages and most of us said correct
terminology with RSU 18 and the town as
[2:44] well I do remember I believe at the last
meeting you voted to approve funding it
[2:50] monthly the rent piece of it if I'm
correct in stating that once they get up
[2:56] and running I did go to the school board
meeting that they had and that was on
[3:01] the agenda and they again just discussed
that things were moving forward they had
[3:06] to find
any plans yet they still were doing some
[3:08] repairs so what some things they needed
to take care of and that they didn't
[3:12] plan to come charge the town until they
were physically ready to occupy this
[3:16] space so I myself personally reached out
to sherry after reaching out to Gary for
[3:23] his guidance as to who I should talk to
so you such a sharing over and asked her
[3:27] a series of questions mostly related to
safety I for one don't want my parents
[3:34] attending a place that's not organized
and safe that's what I do for a living
[3:42] and I asked about some guidelines about
you know who gets to use it would you
[3:48] keep anybody from using it if somebody
wanted to come under the age of 16 which
[3:54] was the guideline they had but they may
love to come the response I got back was
[3:58] pretty much that they haven't answered
any of those questions themselves at
[4:02] this point and that there are several
stages or phases that they're trying to
[4:07] go through and they're still in phase
one so my concern would be the idea of
[4:15] honoring a third party request for them
mostly being the fact that having
[4:22] certain kinda budget community in the
past
[4:24] I know third party requests are really
scrutinized and my understanding from
[4:32] being on the advisory board in the past
was third fighting request had to have
[4:36] some kind of background behind them
making a request
[4:41] financial statement or business plan
something to that effect so my request
[4:46] to you would be to consider not honoring
that third party request for them at
[4:52] budget season until you have such
documentation like a business model plan
[4:58] some type of a financial plan for what
they're going to be doing with the
[5:02] funding and then once if you do move
forward with funding them who owns the
[5:09] things that they buy does the town on it
does the Senior Center on there if the
[5:14] Senior Center owns it and decides to go
away in five months because it's too
[5:19] much work or something happened and they
can't continue what happens to all of
[5:24] that stuff that they purchase so that
essentially is it is my request is for
[5:30] you to consider not funding that without
some type of financial statement
[5:36] background or business model plan for
how things are going to progress over
[5:40] there otherwise actually like you're
really opening the door for anybody to
[5:44] ask for a third party request because
they have a dream and they want it to be
[5:48] fulfilled and I understand we take
consideration of town needs differently
[5:57] than we do third prior question people
outside of town much like the food
[6:00] pantry and things like that but I kind
of feel like this is different than that
[6:05] because there's there isn't anything to
hang your hat on at this point it's
[6:12] it's a wish dream it's a plan but
there's no written documentation of a
[6:17] plan and that kind of concerns that as
taxpayer and as potentially one of my my
[6:22] family using this facility that's a good
question
[6:29] anybody here on the council have any
questions are these officer anything you
[6:33] like to right along with them they plan
to have any of this information
[6:40] available before we do but Ruby what the
last of February we did with the third
[6:45] part of her question a daughter was in a
severe she stopped yesterday
[7:02] yeah Kelly you first your first concern
and I think our concern about safety
[7:09] what is the and at least the physical
safety of the facility is being
[7:15] addressed by our SEO a team that had a
inspection done you heard about it them
[7:21] let's go board meeting those are all
safety concerns that we had we
[7:27] definitely agree with the risk
management's assessment of problem you
[7:33] know potential problems and hopefully
the school board seemed to be willing to
[7:39] attack those safety issues now the
officers of the building I asked you for
[7:46] your take care the safety concerns that
I've had that I expressed to Sherry
[7:51] where will there be somebody CPR first
aid certified
[7:54] AED on-site but would be a landline
phone available for people who don't
[7:58] know how to use cell phones my mother
being one of them put a cell phone in
[8:02] front of her and she wouldn't even begin
to know how to turn it on in the kitchen
[8:05] it was bad now one thing is we are going
to have someone CPR certified First Aid
[8:13] certified I have looked into the price
of and now in the 80s and to fibular yes
[8:19] I've looked into the price of those
there's a 1200 to 1500 dollars for basic
[8:25] models so all these concerns are in your
mind maybe someone would donate one to
[8:33] us but we will have and one of the parts
of the program we intend to have as for
[8:40] example people to come in and have at
least one hour a week of some sort of
[8:46] health-related
education and CPR would probably to be
[8:52] the first one but yeah it will have some
CPR we will have first aid trained
[8:58] people there and also we are in
proximity to the fire department and
[9:05] police department so we feel how long
would it take to get from a street to
[9:12] your ten minutes yeah it would be in
minutes because we are in proximity to
[9:19] the president you know the first
responders in town so other any other
[9:26] questions the fact is our ICU 18 is also
leaving us have a lot of the furniture
[9:34] that was in the building they've been
very generous to us so we it's just some
[9:41] tables this is what we're looking for if
we can get them without spending any
[9:46] money but basically we want round tables
because they're more sociable and that
[9:53] basically what what the third party
request was for because the rsuh in has
[9:59] given us
Cheers that we need bookshelves etc etc
[10:07] tonight is there a he in the
administrative office of I don't have an
[10:16] answer for that I can not some of the
buildings if I had to guess I would say
[10:21] that it must be the hours that they're
there this would be one right never
[10:25] doorway that's all I don't know if then
there is one in that building
[10:31] yeah as I know I'm a IDI trained epic
pen turning first aid CPR but you're out
[10:39] there every day
no I hope you know one day a week well
[10:44] these are just any when they're creating
their business play these things that I
[10:47] met them to address just for safety
reasons I mean what they recognize
[10:54] science and sometimes somebody having a
stroke that's pertinent to that age
[10:58] group signs of you know early stage
dementia where they start becoming
[11:04] violent for no reason I mean those are
all things that I have concerns up where
[11:10] seniors are gathering other than you
know on a show make social occasion so I
[11:17] have a great suggestion for you your
concerns are all valid and very well
[11:22] done thought through so probably what
you ought to do is go back to sherry
[11:26] because right now we're just sitting
here waiting and watching to see how
[11:30] they're going to run it so
don't want to cost the taxpayers any
[11:33] more money so if you go back to Sharia
never get it hold on a senior spectrum
[11:38] in Waterville the muskies ever and ever
say you know could you fill this wish
[11:42] list for me and I can support it and I
can hear it and carry on and help
[11:45] support it and that would help a lot of
things other than sitting here telling
[11:48] us what you like and about being mean
about you're saying that it just think I
[11:52] think it's a right way to go if seeing a
spectrum has done this and they have
[11:55] gatherings of elderly citizens of the
town and they have done it to use me as
[12:01] a problem I know all these little ins
and outs and all these little things
[12:04] that they can help them yes and on the
20th of February there's a meeting of
[12:10] senior centers from Wiscasset knowledge
of the state and we're going to plan to
[12:15] attend that very good idea dawn just to
reiterate you know and summarize I guess
[12:21] what we're hearing is there's an awful
lot of things that we as a council and
[12:26] the community doesn't have a sense of
what's going on and before we give a
[12:31] complete blessing of the project I guess
we need to have that I've heard Richmond
[12:36] mentioned and now a senior spectrum and
this being you're going to we need to
[12:41] have a concrete this is what our plan of
action is this is who's going to be on
[12:46] hand each day or we're rotating one
person a week it's going to be open from
[12:50] these hours for those hours there's
going to be food there's not going to be
[12:55] food there's gonna be cooking there's
not you know all those little details
[12:58] that make a program work we need to have
a sense of what that really is going to
[13:02] look like people yeah we put that on the
agenda for the next meeting I will have
[13:07] a document it is I don't know if there's
a timetable that we need to look at
[13:12] we're looking at third party requests
coming up yeah no I'm just
[13:22] as soon as we can I like to have
release me a complete plan that is going
[13:30] to spell out to us and the citizens of
the town what we're proposing to do
[13:35] because of Hailey's thinking of this how
many other people are thinking of this
[13:38] and these how I should tweak an answer
but I think that would be the best thing
[13:42] to do I shouldn't say you go back to to
Sheree but you would like to share with
[13:46] your group will go back to your group
they say look these are things were
[13:49] looking for and put him down and Alomar
already decided we have been discussing
[13:53] them so we'll put it in writing and get
do you guys watch and don't I spend
[13:57] about an hour and a half with me
yesterday and she laid this out with me
[14:01] she you know she explained the hours
where they were at it may be the
[14:05] information has been as forthcoming as
what I would like to see but I think
[14:09] that's going to change and don't you can
get that information to me if you can
[14:13] wait until that meeting Thanks so this
will be a town funded Senior Center with
[14:23] no County that has not been blessed yet
I have my own personal feelings on them
[14:30] and I think needs one of us to also I
hate my entire not being able to use it
[14:35] how's that that's my thought I think one
of the thinkers Dallas once these are
[14:42] all valid points you stated it's kind of
in its infancy it was it hasn't been I
[14:50] guess we've been I think we started
November dienes consciously it's been
[14:56] kind of rolling along and kind of
gathering steam I guess some say about
