Agenda Item No 5 Report: Metroport Meals on Wheels (Lynn Reed)
Lynn Reed distributed the October and November MMOW statistical reports showing
good attendance for the luncheons. There was a jump in the attendance numbers for
November. Plates and cups showed a large increase in November due to replenishment of
supplies. Ms. Reed complimented Cleta Pierce on handling the luncheon in her absence
and thanked the volunteers for their support. Commission members expressed
appreciation also to the volunteers and to Ms. Reed on a job well done.
Agenda Item No 6 Consider: Election of Senior Advisory Commission officers for 2006
Election of officers have been delayed due to the timing of the City Council appointments
to boards and commissions, which was done October 18, 2005. Any sitting Commission
member may be considered for the officer positions of Chair, Vice Chair and Secretary.
The elected officers will serve until June 2006 or until such time as when the City
Council makes the new board and commission appointments.
Concern was expressed that elections had not occurred in June.
Since the Senior Advisory Commission bylaws currently state that "officers shall be
elected by a majority vote in the regular June session of each year," it was recommended
to revise the bylaws to reflect that election of officers will occur following appointment
by City Council. This item will be added to the Senior Advisory Commission meeting
agenda in January.
A copy of the Senior Advisory Commission roster showing term expiration dates will be
included in next month's meeting packet.
A motion was made to maintain the officers in place today which will be Jeane
Alexander as Chair, David Baltimore as Vice Chair and Connie Montague as
Secretary.

Ayes: Alexander, Baltimore, B. Kyle, M. Kyle, C. Montague, G. Montague,

Agreement with Fort Worth Transportation Authority
Staff to contact Tarrant County Transportation Services (TCTS) to provide monthly

The commission suggested having representatives from the TCTS address the
commission at either the January or Feburary meeting, and followed by a presentation for
a future senior luncheon to publicize and review the program.
A motion was made that the Senior Advisory Commission approve what is
requested, subject to the staff coming to SAC and covering the benefits of the
