Josh gave an update on CARS. The monthly statistics were not available. However, Josh provided a
year end analysis of the CARS operations which was very helpful. The CARS Board met on
January 27'b at the Senior Activity Center. Also that day a certificate was presented to the 7,000
rider with CARS which was Fran Weiser. The contract is ready to go to City Council as CARS
Board has agreed to office hours on Tuesdays from 10-12 noon and an emergency protocol has been
put into place. The senior users will have a card that lists numbers to call in case of an emergency
such as the driver does not return to pick them up.

Dorothy reported on the Steering meeting particularly regarding the tax freeze and whether or not
forms needed to be completed soon. The tax freeze goes into effect with the appraisal for the 2005
taxes. If forms are necessary they should be found at the Tarrant County Appraisal Office. We will
try to obtain more information regarding this issue.
Agenda Iftmi No. 5, ftnort: Metroport Meals on Wheels
Susan reported that the food today was from Big Bowl. It was very good and the seniors seemed to
enjoy it very much. However, Susan mentioned that the management at Big Bowl gave her some
difficulties and we may not be using them again. Susan asked that the Commission approve of the
idea of a pictorial directory for the Center. Linda made the motion and Marge seconded it and all
agreed to go forward with this project. Seniors will have the option to not be part of the directory.
Dala reported that Mary Ding fell at the opening for 114 and broke both of her arms. She will have
surgery on one shortly.

Joanne talked about the upcoming activities, the Valentine Dinner/Dance which is sponsored by the
Grapevine Rotary Club, the Valentine Luncheon which is sponsored by the Southlake Woman's
Club and the upcoming trips for the end of February and into March. The 42 Tournament with
Southlake playing host to Colleyville is all set with 10 teams. We hope to make this a regular
monthly get together.
Agenda Item No. 7: Open Forum
Malcolm discussed the Teen Court Volunteer program which will begin shortly. In addition he
mentioned the Adopt A Project program which will consist of a list of projects that staff has
determined volunteers can do. This list will be on the City Website and groups of volunteers,
organizations, etc. can adopt a project to do. Malcolm would like to do another 42 challenge with
the Seniors in March.
