Aaenda Item No. 2, Approval of the 7/11/2000 Minutes
David Baltimore made a motion to approve the July 11, 2000 minutes. The motion was
seconded by Bill Cosgrove and approved unanimously.
Aaenda Item No. 3. Administrative Comments
Nona Whitehead thanked David Baltimore for his help with the Thursday Together programs
and invited other Commission members to help form a core for this program.
Agenda Item No. 4. Report: Metroport Meals on Wheels
Sonja Allen presented the July statistics. A donated meal from Chick-Fil-A helped keep the
monthly costs lower.
Aaenda Item No. 5. Discussion: Tuesday Meal Program
David Baltimore explained that the Program Review Committee had met to look at the Tuesday
program with its costs and to discuss whether the meal was essential to the program. David
suggested that since other area cities do not subsidize a meal, and there was not an obvious
nutritional need in Southlake, that it was not the job of the taxpayers to provide such a meal.
Jerry Montague expressed his understanding that a meal does provide a catalyst for needed social
interaction. David indicated that while a meal can be a catalyst, it could be done closer to actual
cost. Nona. Whitehead informed the Commission that she had taken four people to sample the
Senior Services meals contracted through Grapevine and Keller and that all four individuals
agreed that Senior Services was not one of the viable alternatives.
Aaenda Item No. 6. Consideration: Recommendation for Tuesday Meal Program
Connie Montague moved that a letter of recommendation be submitted for a continuation of the
Metroport Meals on Wheels contract at the $10,000 funding level. The motion was seconded by
Darla Lattimore and was approved unanimously.
