[INAUDIBLE] OK I DECLARE THAT WE HAVE A QUORUM AND I'M CALLING THE MEETING TO ORDER.
[DECLARATION OF A QUORUM AND CALL TO ORDER]
[00:00:06]
BUT IT'S 11:31.[1. Discussion and possible action on the minutes of the Senior Citizen Commission meeting of December 5, 2022.]
HOW ARE YOU, ARCHIE? [INAUDIBLE] THAT GOOD? OH, I'D LIKE TO BE PUT ON THE AGENDA.OK. THERE'S A PARTICULAR ITEM TO DISCUSS AND IT'S NOT.
I DON'T THINK IT'S ON THE AGENDA.
YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS.
OKAY. SO WE'LL HAVE TO ADD THAT.
YEAH. SO AT THE END OF THE MEETING, I'M USUALLY ASK WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE FOR THE NEXT MEETING.
AND SO WHATEVER AGENDA ITEMS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE ADDED, JUST LET ME KNOW.
I DID RECEIVE AN EMAIL FROM MISS SCHAEFER, BUT THE AGENDA HAD ALREADY BEEN POSTED.
WHICH WILL BE GOOD TIMING BECAUSE I THINK THE EMAIL [INAUDIBLE].
NOW WHILE I'VE GOT IT IN FRONT OF ME? WELL, BECAUSE IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA, WE CAN'T HAVE IT AS A DISCUSSION ITEM HAS TO BE A DISCUSSION.
SO IF YOU TELL IF YOU TELL JERRY WHAT YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT, THEN SHE CAN PUT IT ON THE AGENDA.
AND THEN NEXT MONTH OR NEXT TIME WE HAVE A MEETING, NEXT TIME WE HAVE A MEETING, IT'S TWO MONTHS.
THAT'S RIDICULOUS TO WAIT TWO MONTHS TO TALK ABOUT IT.
WELL, WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT, BUT WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
WELL, WE REALLY CANT DISCUSS IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA.
I DON'T WANT TO MAKE AN ACTION ITEM OUT OF THIS.
STUFF AND I THINK THERE ARE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE.
YOU CAN PUT YOUR THOUGHTS IN AN EMAIL TO US.
OR IF YOU WANT TO MEET IN PERSON, ARCHIE? WE CAN DO THAT TOO. YEAH.
WE JUST CAN'T DO IT AS AN ITEM BECAUSE IT'S NOT A DISCUSSION ITEM ON THE AGENDA.
SO WE CAN TALK TO YOU AFTER THIS MEETING.[INAUDIBLE] SO I DO.
SO FOR THE MINUTE, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT THE MINUTES BE ACCEPTED AS WRITTEN.
[INAUDIBLE] I SPILLED EVERYTHING IN THE CAR.
SO, DAWN FIRST AND SARA SECOND.
DISCUSSION. ITEM NUMBER TWO, DISCUSSION OF STRATEGIC PLAN.
OH, SUPPOSE WITH EVERYONE THAT APPROVES OR IN FAVOR OF APPROVING THE MINUTES, AYE.
ANY NEGATIVES? THAT PASSED. OK.
THANK YOU, PAT. ITEM NUMBER TWO, DISCUSSION OF STRATEGIC PLAN.
[2. Discussion on Strategic Plan updates.]
SO, YEAH, WE HAVE OUR ANNUAL STRATEGIC PLAN ANNUAL ITEMS UP ON YOUR IN YOUR PACKET, THINGS THAT WE HAVE WORKING ON THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN THE WORKS WITH HOUSING IN REGARDS.SO THEY HAVE GONE THROUGH SOME KIND OF GETTING NEW STAFF IN.
[00:05:02]
AND IF SO, WE WILL ADD THAT AS AN AGENDA ITEM FOR UPDATES.AS IN TRANSPORTATION, WE CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE ANY NEW UPDATES AT THIS TIME, MINUS JUST PROVIDING CONTINUED EDUCATION WITH BC CONNECT AND ALSO WITH ACTIONS, EXISTING SERVICES.
IT'S KIND OF ALSO IN REGARDS TO SOME LATER ONES, BUT WE WILL HAVE BRIA WITH ACTIONS COMING OUT TO TALK TO COFFEE CHAT ON MARCH 23RD.
SO WE WILL ALSO PUT THAT IN OUR UPCOMING NEWSLETTER AS WELL THAT WILL BE COMING OUT.
AND WE ARE ALSO WORKING ON SCHEDULING LOCAL DOCTORS TO PRESENT AT UPCOMING MONTHS AS WELL.
SO ONE OF OUR KEY MEMBERS IS DR.
AND HE ALSO HAS A NETWORK THAT HE'S TALKED TO VICKI ABOUT.
ANGLETON MAYOR WILL VISIT COFFEESHOP COFFEE CHAT THIS COMING THURSDAY.
SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT ONE.
AND HE WILL BE DISCUSSING JUST ONGOING CITY PROJECTS AND ANYTHING THAT SENIORS WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS WITH HIM, WHICH IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS THAT'S GOING ON IN THE CITY, THAT WOULD BE A REALLY GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH HIM AGAIN.
THAT WILL BE THIS THURSDAY AT THE RECREATION CENTER AT 11 A.M..
SO THAT'S A GREAT TIME TO MEET WITH LOCAL LEGISLATION IN REGARDS TO RECREATION TRIPS AND LUNCHES FOR WATER TO OPEN UP IN DECEMBER. RECENT TRIPS THAT WE HAVE TAKEN WERE TO [INAUDIBLE] YARD TO DO A CRAFT PROJECT.
A LUNCH BENCH IS COMING UP ON THE 17TH.
ALL TRIPS ARE EITHER MAXED OUT OR CLOSE TO WALK WITH THESE PROGRAM, WHICH BEGAN ON JANUARY 23RD AND HAS 17 PARTICIPANTS CURRENTLY REGISTERED. THIS SESSION WILL END ON MARCH 3RD.
JUST BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF ACTIVITY GOING ON IN THE GYM.
BUT WE'LL PLAN TO BRING IT BACK IN AUGUST, AND THAT IS A GREAT PROGRAM GOING ON.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING A MEMBERSHIP TO THE REC CENTER.
JUST SOME REALLY GREAT STORIES FOR FOLKS THAT ALSO CAN'T AFFORD PHYSICAL THERAPY, BUT THEY CAN COME HERE AND DO THIS AND IT'S BEEN PRODUCING REALLY GREAT RESULTS. STAFF IS PLANNING THE NEXT SESSION TO OCCUR.
WE ALSO HAVE VALENTINE'S BINGO COMING, WHICH WILL BE A LUNCHEON ON THE 14TH, WHICH IS NEXT MONDAY.
AND WE CURRENTLY HAVE 30 PARTICIPANTS REGISTERED FOR THAT.
SO THAT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT TIME UNDER OUR QUALITY OF LIFE, WHICH IS FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND COMMUNITY NEEDS, ACTIONS AND RECREATION. AGAIN, WE STILL COLLABORATE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY TO PROVIDE PROGRAMING 8 A.M.
TO 1:00 PM WITH COFFEE CHATS HELD ON THURSDAY.
BUT WE ALSO HAVE BINGO EVERY TUESDAY.
RECREATION STAFF WILL PROVIDE A TECHNOLOGY INFORMATIONAL ON AN AIDE AND COFFEE AT THE NEXT COFFEE CHAT ON THE 16TH, WHICH IS NEXT THURSDAY. SO OUR STAFF WILL BE ANSWERING QUESTIONS AS TO HOW ANYTHING RELATED TO TECHNOLOGY, AS TO PHONES, AS TO APPS DOWNLOADS.
SO WE JUST WANT TO IDENTIFY AREAS THAT OUR STAFF CAN HELP WITH.
AND SO WE GET A LOT OF THOSE QUESTIONS BECAUSE VICKI DOES GET QUESTIONS ON HER OWN AS TO, CAN YOU HELP ME WITH MY PHONE? I'VE KIND OF STUCK, CAN YOU HELP ME HERE? AND SO THIS WILL BE A GOOD TIME FOR US TO IDENTIFY.
IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD DO ON A ROUTINE BASIS? SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IT'LL GET ALL OF OUR STAFF WORKING ON THAT ONE.
[00:10:09]
AS WE GET MORE AND MORE FOLKS IN THE AREA.AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, WE DO ARE NOTICING MORE PEOPLE COMING IN JUST BECAUSE OF THEIR INSURANCE HAS CHANGED, SO THEY'RE ABLE TO GET ON TO SILVER SNEAKERS, SILVER AND FIT.
A R.P PROGRAM TO THAT WE HAVE RECENTLY ADDED IN WITHIN THE LAST YEAR.
SO VICKI'S BEEN GIVING A LOT OF TOURS, INTRODUCING PROGRAMS TO NEW FOLKS.
WE ALSO ARE GETTING A LOT OF INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE COMING TO THIS LIVE THIS WAY.
OUTSIDE OF SENIORS SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES, WE ARE DOING TRY TO DO MORE CONNECTIONS.
SO ONE THING THAT WE OFFERED IN JANUARY AS WELL THAT DID REALLY WELL WITH OVER 12 PARTICIPANTS WAS WE DID A HERBALIST CLASS, PARTNERED WITH THE TEXAS MASTER GARDENERS, AND THAT WAS HELD IN THE EVENING.
BUT IT WAS A MAXED OUT CLASS THAT WAS FREE TO THE COMMUNITY.
SO ANY QUESTIONS ON ANYTHING WITH REGARDS TO WHAT WE'RE DOING AND STRATEGIC PLAN CURRENTLY? NO, IT LOOKS GOOD. AWESOME.
ALL RIGHT. SO THAT'S WHAT I HAVE FOR UPDATES WISE FOR OUR NEXT MEETING, WHICH WILL BE HELD APRIL THE FIRST MONDAY IN APRIL, I BELIEVE, APRIL 3RD.
SO IF YOU HAVE ANY AGENDA SPECIFIC ITEMS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW THOSE RIGHT AWAY, YOU'RE ALWAYS FREE TO EMAIL ME, TEXT ME, LET ME KNOW.
AND IF IT'S NOT EVEN ME, YOU CAN LET VICKI KNOW YOU'RE FREE TO LET MEGAN KNOW.
JUST GIVE US SOME SORT OF OUTREACH THERE.
