A motion was made to accept treasurer report by Bill and seconded by Tim. Motion passed. 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. As State Statute requires we are elected and then decide who will serve 2 years and who will serve 4 years. Under Board of Trustees, State Statute 16-4-401 through 408 will replace the current verbiage. Under Board of Trustees, Part 3, all Wyoming Law references will be changed to Wyoming State Statute. In Board of Trustees, Part 5, it was decided to omit last sentences pertaining to an ordinance.

The Board needs to determine what is needed and then go to county commissioners and ask for startup funds. Such funds are opening a checking account, advertising, purchase of recorder, computer, etc. Ron added that the Board should ask for an office for the filing system and public notices. Ron will make a list of needs and he and Tim will meet with the Commissioners for the request.

Financial Report: Kathy and Tim will go over to Converse County Bank after the meeting to set up a checking account. Kathy is working on the sales tax application. Kathy visited with Joel Schell, County Treasurer and Julie Melder, Accountant. Ms. Melder currently does the audits for the Glenrock Hospital District, so she is familiar with Wyoming State Statute requirements. 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. New Business: There was a discussion about who to go to if there is an emergency in the senior centers, such as, heating and cooling etc. It was stated that a request would go to the Commissioners until funding is available to the District Board. There was discussion on the possibility of the District Board meeting with the Converse County Aging Board to look at a Memorandum of Understanding. Platte County developed a Memorandum of Understanding with their senior center. Kathy will email that agreement to all our Board for review. It was decided that we would have a work session with the Aging Board. Mr. Smith was given a copy of the Platte County Memorandum of Understanding and asked to look at it for discussion.

Respectfully submitted, Bill Canaday March Converse County Senior Citizen Service District Board Converse County Community Room April, 2019 No meeting in April 2019. April Converse County Senior Citizen Service District Board Douglas Court House May 13, 2019 Members Present: Tim Ricker, Bill Canaday, Joanne Desmarais and Ron Yates Members Absent: Kathy Patceg Others Present: Nancie Fink, Russ Broderdorp, Bob McCormick The meeting was called to order a 10:00 AM. Bill read the minutes from the last meeting. Ron made a motion to accept minutes as read. Motion seconded by Joanne and all in favor passed motion. Financial Report: Joanne went to Staples and check on 3 computers (one for Kathy, one for Bill and one for Joanne.) They will download Quick Books, Professional office, printer, virus protection and tech support. The cost will be $2,790. Up to 6 people can download the Quick Books program. 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. Bill and Nancie will meet to discuss the budget for the Senior Centers before June 1st deadline, so that the budget for the Senior Centers would be ready for next meeting. Ron made a motion to accept budget and seconded by Joanne and all voted in favor. W-9 tax form was given to the County. There is a tax ID# and will have it for next meeting. Joanne made motion to adjourn and seconded by Ron and meeting was adjoined.
