up his house and to hire professional termite exterminators. Dalia Stokes
reported that there did not appear to be any support on the Council for the
increase of the Over-65 Exemption.

No new business to report.
OLD BUSINESS:
Joan Eccles announced that the Senior Services board has been invited to attend
the City Council meeting on Monday, October 15 at 6:30 p.m. to participate in the
consideration of the reduction of the Over-65 Exemption. Joan Eccles further
announced that Virgil's case has been closed and he has been officially
terminated by the City.
NEW BUSINESS:
Joan Eccles announced that two non-functioning wheelchairs have been donated to
the Parkinson's Society and that Senior Services stores the Parkinson's Society
equipment. Because the wheelchairs are unusable, the Parkinson's Society has
indicated they will likely give the wheelchairs away instead of paying
approximately $143.00 each to have them repaired. The board approved the
expenditure by the Senior Services to repair these two wheelchairs if the
Parkinson's Society donates them to the Senior Services Department. Joan further
announced that Eric has joined the Water Department, since his position as
maintenance for the Senior Services building was assumed by another city
maintenance worker who had been at City Hall. Joan announced that her last day
as Senior Services Coordinator will be Friday, November 2, 1990 and that Sharon
has accepted the offer to assume the coordinator position. The position being
vacated by Sharon of Assistant Coordinator is being advertised.
Respectfully submitted,
Dalia B. Stokes, for
Dorothy Rieger, Secretary
