Agenda Item No. 3 Administrative Comments:
The CARS program was discussed regarding seniors at the center being able to access CARS.
Joanne also mentioned that the van was not available for the Center use because it is Only
wheelchair accessible. CARS staff said that it was too difficult to replace the third seat and
therefore could hold only 4 people and also the van was too hard for seniors to get into because
of it being wheelchair accessible. A committee of Bill Cosgrove, Jeane Alexander and David
Baltimore volunteered to attend the upcoming CARS Board meeting to be held Feb. 27' at 9 AM
at the Southlake Senior Activity Center to discuss possible options for van use at the Senior
Center.
The Commission members reviewed the Senior Activity Center Use Policy and Procedures. A
committee of Cleta Pierce, David Baltimore and Jerry Montague volunteered to meet and draft
revisions or editions to the document and present changes at the next meeting. Either Kevin or
Steve will be invited to represent Community Services regarding adoption of the Use agreement.
