The Senior District proposed budget was approved, pending the final valuation from the Assessor.

Nancie stated the following projects are complete: Douglas, motion sensor door, Glenrock, windows and blinds for each location at a cost of around $9,500 per location.

(Note: July 11, 2022, Nancie added there was a miscommunication as no one with CCAS would be at the Natrona County Market Sale.)

Nancie said the CCAS Board was all in favor of the purchases and she believed it was a cost savings to their food budget. Rita asked about funding social items and senior trips, to include overnight trips, possibly going to Deadwood and other areas. Nancie stated their insurance does not cover out-of-state trips. She said that seniors will sign up and then won't go on the trips, which is very frustrating. Everyone agreed it is worth looking into if there is an interest and possibly coming up with budgeting numbers for FY 24. Nancie thought there needed to be a small cost to the seniors so they have buy-in. Lucile thought the allocation funding could be used for these events and suggested that Rita work with Nancie to find costs, etc. Cheri moved to adjourn at 11:10 a.m., Rita seconded, motion carried.

Discussion: the district has a large amount of funds in CCB that are not expected to be used; the interest rates are currently up so the longer we delay, the less interest we will earn; Kathy will talk to CCB about options for CDs on terms and rates.

One concern is that we have too much money in our account, along with investments. Also, how this Board spends the funds on projects - which should be capital assets by definition.

Don stated he had called a couple of state offices and they would like to discuss the asset concern in person. Don, Tim and possibly Kathy will try to meet with them in January 2023 to get direction. Lucile stated that the electricity for the vehicle outlets at the Glenrock Housing Authority needs to be paid by GHA. Nancie stated the Glenrock dining room will be open again next Monday.

Discussion on Bylaws: Kathy took the Platte Country Bylaws and copied what they had and changed wording from Platte County to Converse County. Some changes were made to meet Wyoming State Statute.

Kathy will invite Joel Schell to the next meeting to discuss financial issues. New Business – Request by Senior Housing: Guests, Laurie Seipel, Stephanie Hagemann and Brad Sishc from the Riverside Plaza I and II were recognized. They questioned funding possibilities. They explained that Riverside Plaza I was built prior to the requirements of a fire sprinkler system. Guest, Casper Smith discussed the need for a new generator for the Douglas Senior Center. Mr. Smith will get cost estimates for a new generator. Bill suggested that there should be more than one local contractor who fixes generators and it is important to also include a maintenance plan.

All computers will have professional office. The printer is not made for printing many copies at one time. Joanne put in the budget for $3,000 so a recorder and supplies needed for printer could also be purchased. Tim let Board members know there is now operational funds of $39,000 in the account. Old Business: The Riverside Plaza requested moneys. Tim talked to Lucile Taylor and was told we could possibly make a loan with agreement payment. Lucile will get back to Tim. The Riverside Plaza is a government funded entity and they should pay for it. The HUD program is government funded and by law the Board is not allowed to give them money from the mill levy because of state statues. The moneys are to be used for the Senior Centers. Ron said he was asked since they were seniors if the money could be used. There will be further discussions after talking with Lucile. Nancie Fink has read the state statues and has not found anything that says you can go outside the two Senior Centers. Question was why don’t they go through the County Commissioners for funding. Bob McCormick advised that he believes this funding is for Senior Centers and not Senior Housing and that this is going to be voted on again in 2021 and was originally voted on for Senior Centers only. By-laws have already been adopted from Wheatland’s By-Laws. The bank account signatures will be Tim, Joanne and Kathy with only two signatures needed when writing a check. Members signed bank papers authorizing information for the bank. Training Review needed to be more informative of situation for the District and general. For some it was good information for some and others had already had it. The board would like more information that we need for our situation. New Business: Tim and Kathy met with Joel Schell and Dixie Huxtable about operational aspects of where and range of uses of money. Tim will try to schedule training with Joel to discuss range of uses. Joel thought remolding was ok but did not know about new structures. Nancie Fink thought that there could be changes and repairs but not new construction. Discussion on parking lots: The city owns the land only and the centers must take care of what is on the land. There has been some work started to see what it will take to repair parking lot. The senior board will get information and summit to the District Board. When can the construction start? Board needs more information. Tim stated that our By-Laws say Converse County Senior Service District and Service needs to be changed to Special District. By-Laws will be amended to Special. The deadline for budget is June 1st. Sometime in June there needs to be a public meeting on the proposed Budget. Board needs to adopt the budget within three days of public meeting. There also needs to be a meeting before 3rd week of July for the budget.
