Recycling Committee. Plastic recycling bins are to be distributed city wide. The
Recycling Committee is fitting wheels to the bins for seniors at no charge and is trying to
figure out a way to get each bin to each senior.
Mary Lee attended the APAC (Area Planning and Advisory Council) meeting. She
reports there was a discussion about funds for meals for holidays and weekends for those
in need. HUD has some rent money and $125,000 house "fix-up" money. The Senior
Board members are to make a house survey of West U. Discussions on state regulations
on Assisted Living and Dental Care were held. A new representative to APAC needs to
be appointed from Senior Services to APAC. Dorothy Zink has been appointed as a
Special Representative to that organization from West U.
The City Council Report was given by Mary Lee. The 2001 city budget has been
deferred until after the results of the election have been validated. All the Charter revisions
and Sidewalk Bonds passed. The initiative for the Public Safety Officers pay raises failed.
Mary Lee would like some help in attending City Council Meetings.
Committee Reports:
The Good Neighbor Team report was delivered by Stan about the continuing effort to
update the Policies and Procedures manual and the introduction of an organizational chart.
The News Letter report was given by Lynn. She wants to have a year end issue of "Hi
Neighbor", which will include a historical house revitalization article by June Beggeman.
Previous Business:
A very informative activity recap of the Monthly Highlights was presented for October.
The Transportation Activity report for October was presented in a very informative
matrix showing all the driver names, the destinations and number of trips made. This

their local organization were discussed. A senior space court yard at the entrance to our
