[Senior Citizens Commission Aug 04, 2025 ]
[00:00:03]
WE HAVE A QUORUM WITH YOU THREE LADIES. SO. THANK YOU.
WE DO NOT HAVE OUR CHAIRPERSON PRESENT. SO WOULD ANYBODY LIKE TO VOLUNTEER TO CHAIR? I WILL. OKAY. OKAY. JAMIE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO CALL THE MEETING? YEAH. YOU GOT THAT. YOU GOT IT.
OKAY. I CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER AT 11:31. AWESOME.
JUST FYI, WE ARE NOT ABLE TO BID A VIDEO RECORD AT THIS TIME, SO WE WILL BE A VOICE RECORDING.
SO JUST SPEAK UP. LOVELY. OKAY. WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ THE FIRST AGENDA ITEM? DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE MINUTES OF THE SENIOR CITIZENS COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 7TH, 2025. THANK YOU. MEETING MINUTES, OR YOUR MEETING MINUTES ARE IN YOUR PACKET THERE.
ONCE YOU'VE LOOKED OVER THEM, IF THERE'S NO EDITS.
THEN WE CAN CALL FOR SOMEONE TO MAKE A MOTION.
ABOUT THAT. WE NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES FROM APRIL 7TH, 2025.
I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION. OKAY. MOTION BY SHERRI.
SECOND BY SARAH. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE.
AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION APPROVED. AWESOME.
THAT'LL TAKE US INTO OUR SECOND AGENDA ITEM. SECOND AGENDA ITEM IS DISCUSSION ON PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO RESOLUTION 2007-R-3A-THE SENIOR CITIZEN COMMISSION.
YES. SO STAFF IS PRESENTING PROPOSED AMENDMENTS AND REVISIONS TO THE SENIOR CITIZEN COMMISSION RESOLUTION, WHICH IS THE RESOLUTION THAT STARTED THE COMMISSION AND GAVE WHAT NEEDED TO BE WHAT THE COMMISSION'S KIND OF BYLAWS TO SAY, WHAT YOUR GROUNDS ARE, AND TERMS AND ALL THESE CHANGES ARE INTENDED TO CLARIFY MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS.
SORRY. BACKING IT UP. WE ARE BRINGING TO YOU GUYS SOME PROPOSED ADDITIONS AND REVISIONS TO THE SENIOR COMMISSION RESOLUTION IN THAT WE ARE ALIGNING WITH OTHER CITY BOARDS.
SO PARKS AND RECREATION IS OVER. I THINK IS POINT 4, FORWARDS.
KAB OR KEEPING ANGLETON BEAUTIFUL, SENIOR COMMISSION, PARKS BOARD AND A ABLC.
AND SO WE'RE ALIGNING. SO THAT WAY WE'RE ALL KIND OF ON THE SAME PAGE.
THE COMMISSION WILL REVIEW AND DISCUSS PROPOSED CHANGES.
AND WE ARE ASKING YOU GUYS FOR FEEDBACK. BEFORE WE SUBMIT THEM TO CITY COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION.
SO SOME OF THE FIRST THINGS ARE, COMPOSITION AND APPOINTMENT.
SO RIGHT NOW YOU GUYS HAVE FIVE MEMBERS AND WE DON'T HAVE IN THE CURRENT RESOLUTION A MAX OR HOW MANY MEMBERS WE COULD HAVE. SO AGAIN, LOOKING AT OTHER BOARDS THAT WE ARE THAT WE ARE ASSOCIATED WITH ALIGNING THEM.
SO THAT WOULD PROPOSE WOULD BE CONSISTING OF SEVEN MEMBERS APPOINTED BY CITY COUNCIL.
AND ALSO CONSIDERING THAT ALL OF THESE RESIDENTS, ALL OF THESE MEMBERS SHALL BE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF ANGLETON AND AT LEAST 55 YEARS OF AGE TO ALIGN WITH SILVER HEARTS PROGRAM AND THE SENIOR POPULATION SURVEY.
SO SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. CAN WE ASK YOU A QUESTION? ABSOLUTELY. SO SINCE WE'VE ONLY HAD FIVE CONSISTENTLY SINCE I'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD, IS I MEAN, CAN WE OPERATE THE BOARD IF WE DON'T REACH SEVEN AND WE CAN ONLY HAVE FIVE WHO JOIN? I'M CONCERNED ABOUT SAYING SEVEN. IF WE HAVE TO HAVE SEVEN AND WE NEVER GET TO SEVEN.
IS THERE A IS THERE A MINIMUM? SO TYPICALLY HOW IT WORK IS JUST LIKE YOU HAVE HERE TODAY.
IS IT BASED ON YOUR BYLAWS OF WHAT YOU CONSIDER A MAJORITY.
SO RIGHT NOW GIVEN THE FACT THAT WE HAVE FIVE, THREE WOULD BE THAT SIMPLE MAJORITY, IF YOU WERE TO INCREASE IT TO SEVEN, YOU WOULD JUST NEED FOUR. OKAY. SO IT GOES BASED ON THAT AS FAR AS QUORUM GOES.
SO DETERMINE THAT YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO HAVE ALL SEVEN PRESENT ALWAYS.
YOU WOULD JUST HAVE TO HAVE A MAJORITY PRESENT TO HOLD THE QUARTER. SO IF YOU WERE TO INCREASE THAT TOO, YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE FOUR. EVEN IF YOU INCREASE IT TO SIX, DEPENDING ON HOW YOU TERM THAT YOU COULD HAVE IT TO WHERE,
[00:05:06]
50%. SO IF YOU HAD SIX, YOU COULD HAVE THREE.TRADITIONALLY, THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS. YOU USUALLY HAVE AN ODD NUMBER AND THEN YOU HAVE ONE THAT DOES THAT. SO IF YOU WERE TO INCREASE TO SEVEN YOU WOULD JUST REQUIRE ONE MORE TO BE PRESENT TO ASK FOR. SO BUT THERE'S NO LIKE GRAND NUMBER.
OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. SO THAT WOULD BE THE FIRST AREA TO CONSIDER.
TERMS OF OFFICE. COMMISSION MEMBERS SHALL SERVE A TWO-YEAR TERM.
TERM LIMITS. COMMISSION MEMBERS MAY SERVE NO MORE THAN TWO.
SO THERE'S TWO PARTS TO THIS THAT Y'ALL CAN CONSIDER.
ONE OF THOSE OPTIONS IS THEY CAN SERVE NO MORE THAN TWO CONSECUTIVE TERMS. AND MEMBERS WHO HAVE SERVED THEIR TWO CONSECUTIVE TERMS CAN BE RECONSIDERED FOR REAPPOINTMENT AFTER A ONE-YEAR BREAK.
SO THAT BEING THAT YOU CAN SERVE AS MANY TERMS AFTER YOUR TWO-YEAR TERMS ARE UP WITH YOUR, DEPENDING ON YOUR EVEN OR ODD YEAR, AND IF YOU REAPPLY, IF THERE'S OTHER PEOPLE THAT COULD REAPPLY ALONG WITH YOU, THEN CITY COUNCIL WOULD BE UP FOR CONSIDER WHO TAKES THAT FORM.
OKAY. QUESTION. YES, MA'AM. SO YOU'RE SAYING TERMS ARE TWO YEARS? YES. THAT'S THE PROPOSED. YES. PROPOSED. OKAY.
THEY COULD RE REAPPLY OR BE REAPPOINTED FOLLOWING A ONE YEAR BREAK.
YES. OKAY. THAT'S ONE OPTION. OKAY. THAT'S ONE OPTION.
AND ARE YOU SAYING THIS OTHER ONE IS A SECOND OPTION.
MEMBERS MAY SERVE UNLIMITED CONSECUTIVE. YEAH THAT'S LIKE AN OR OKAY.
ALTERNATIVELY. YEAH. OKAY. OR THEY MAY SERVE UNLIMITED CONSECUTIVE TERMS. SO IF MY TWO TERMS MY FOUR YEARS IS UP AND I REAPPLY EVEN THOUGH I'M SUPPOSED TO SIT OUT A YEAR.
NO. SO ONE OF THEM WOULD BE IS THEY SERVE YOUR FOUR YEARS OKAY.
YOUR TWO YEAR TERMS ARE UP. THAT FIRST OPTION IS YOU HAVE TO SIT OUT A YEAR.
OKAY. BEFORE YOU REAPPLY. OKAY. TO BE RECONSIDERED.
OKAY. THE SECOND OPTION IS YOU WOULD SERVE YOUR FOUR YEARS.
AND THEN WHEN YOU'RE UP FOR RENEWAL, YOUR SEAT.
YOU WOULD REAPPLY, BUT OTHER PEOPLE CAN REAPPLY.
SO EIGHT YEARS. OKAY. SO THIS IS AN EITHER OR WE'RE SUPPOSED TO PRESENT AN EITHER OR.
Y'ALL Y'ALL ARE PROVIDING FEEDBACK BECAUSE WHEN WE PUT THIS WITH EITHER OF OUR BOARDS SOME OF THEM DO HAVE WHERE THEY HAVE TO REAPPLY LIKE PARKS, BUT KAB DOES NOT.
THEY JUST REAPPLY, BUT THEY CAN SERVE AN UNLIMITED.
OKAY. AND THEN THIS WAS ALSO BASED ON FEEDBACK FROM YOU GUYS THAT WHEN I ASKED FOR YOU GUYS, SOME OF Y'ALL DID MENTION THAT Y'ALL CONSIDERED THE BREAK.
YOUR BREAK. SOME OF Y'ALL SAID UNLIMITED. SO JUST PROVIDING THE FEEDBACK FROM YOU GUYS AND THEN TAKING IT, STAFF WILL MAKE THE CONSIDERATION TO PROVIDE FOR CITY COUNCIL.
OKAY. SO ANOTHER QUESTION. OKAY. I'M THINKING OF ALL THESE DIFFERENT SCENARIOS.
SO YOU ONLY HAVE TWO MEMBERS OF THEIR TIME IS UP.
AND WE HAVE THIS SECOND OPTION IN PLACE. THE MEMBERS CAN SERVE UNLIMITED.
THEY REAPPLY TO JOIN AGAIN BUT SAY THERE ARE NEW PEOPLE THAT APPLY.
WHO HAS THAT CHOICE TO APPOINT WHOMEVER. YOU KNOW THE PEOPLE AGAIN OR.
APPLICATIONS? IT WOULD BE CITY COUNCIL. CITY COUNCIL.
CITY COUNCIL HAS THE, CONSIDERS ALL THE APPLICATIONS.
OKAY. AND SO THEY COULD SEE, YOU KNOW, THE FEEDBACK THAT THIS PERSON SERVED, YOU KNOW ALREADY EIGHT YEARS, AND THIS PERSON SERVED IN THE SAME SEAT HAS TO, JUST LIKE COUNCIL ELECTIONS.
OKAY. THOSE TWO PEOPLE WOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR SEAT FOUR.
THEN THEY COULD BE APPOINTED BY CITY COUNCIL SO AS NOT TO HAVE A VACANT POSITION.
[00:10:06]
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO THE ROUTES OF ASSIGNING THEM TO A POSITION WITHIN THE BOARD.SOMETIMES IT'S EASIER, ESPECIALLY WITH BOARDS SUCH AS THIS.
THAT IT WOULDN'T BE DESIGNATED AS A POSITION EVEN THOUGH IT MAY BE LISTED THAT WAY.
YOU WOULDN'T BE APPLYING FOR A POSITION. YOU WOULD JUST BE APPLYING FOR THE BOARD.
YEAH. PART OF THAT COMES INTO PLAY IS, AND THEY WRITE THE LANGUAGE, SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT CITY COUNCIL, USUALLY THAT, SOMETIMES YOU CAN GO TO ANOTHER POSITION AND LIKE, OH, I SERVE IN A POSITION TWO AND I'M GONNA GO TO POSITION FOUR.
USUALLY WHEN THE TERM LIMITS ARE PUT IN PLACE IS NOT INTENDED TO DO THAT.
IT'S MORE SO WHEN THEY'RE ELECTING, THEY'RE JUST SAYING THEY'RE GOING FOR A VACANT POSITION.
I WOULD ENVISION THAT IT WOULD BE THERE. SO I'M GOING FOR POSITION ONE, 2 OR 3.
IT'S JUST I'M GOING TO SERVE ON THE BOARD. RIGHT.
IN OUR TIME ON THE BOARD IS YOUR TIME SERVE. RIGHT.
I'M NOT TAKING HER SPOT OR HER SPOT. YEAH. IT IS JUST.
OKAY. YEAH. OKAY. SO I KNOW THE NEXT THING IS ATTENDANCE AND VACANCIES, BUT I HAVE A SCENARIO.
HOW WILL THAT POSITION BE HANDLED TO BE FILLED AGAIN? SO THAT HASN'T BEEN LABELED ON HERE. THAT'S SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.
WE COULD DO. WHAT COUNCIL CURRENTLY DOES, WHICH FILLS IN THE REST OF THE TERM.
WHO WOULD APPOINT THAT PERSON? SO TYPICALLY THAT WOULD BE CITY COUNCIL IF WE HAVE A DETERMINED.
OKAY. AND SO WE WOULD JUST PUT OUT NOTICE THAT WE HAVE A VACANT POSITION.
AND THEN SOMEBODY WOULD FILL IN THE TERM OF THAT POSITION.
SO IT GOES BACK TO, THIS POSITION TOO AND THAT TERM IS SET TO EXPIRE IN SEPTEMBER.
WHEN YOU FILL THAT THEY WOULD ONLY BE FILLING THAT VACANT POSITION FOR THAT TIME.
AND THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO REAPPLY IF THEY WERE INTERESTED IN STAYING LONGER.
STAY LONGER. OKAY. OKAY. GOTCHA. SO THESE TWO SCENARIOS FOR THE TERM LIMITS.
DO Y'ALL HAVE A PREFERENCE? HAVE Y'ALL DISCUSSED IT? DO YOU HAVE A PREFERENCE? CAN WE HAVE A PREFERENCE? [LAUGHTER] YEAH, WE'RE DEFINITELY TAKING YOUR FEEDBACK. DEFINITELY TAKING.
AND HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT IT. THAT'S UP FOR CONSIDERATION.
MY PERSONAL OPTION WOULD BE THE FIRST ONE. THE TWO CONSECUTIVE TERM LIMITS.
AND THEN THE ONE YEAR BREAK AND THEN COME BACK.
YES, YES, YES. I MEAN, I KNOW Y'ALL TALKED ABOUT IT, BUT CAN Y'ALL TELL US WHICH WAY YOU WOULD, WHICH WAY YOU'RE LEANING OR IS THERE? I WILL JUST SAY.
CURRENTLY, IF YOU LOOK ACROSS THE BOARD'S MINUS CITY COUNCIL, SO TAKE OUT CITY COUNCIL.
THERE IS NOT A TERM LIMIT SET ON THE OTHER BOARDS THAT WE CURRENTLY OVERSEE.
AND SO WE DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE THAT SAME WITHIN LINE FOR ALL OF THEM.
SO I WOULD HAVE TO CHECK LANGUAGE FOR PARKS BOARD.
AND THEN WE MAKE THE DECISION MORE DIFFICULT ON COUNCIL IF THEY WANT TO DO.
BUT AGAIN, THAT GOES TO APPLICATIONS, RIGHT? BECAUSE EVEN IN THE LANGUAGE, YOU COULD SAY YOU DON'T SERVE, BUT IF NOBODY APPLIES, YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO COME BACK, RIGHT? AND THAT'S HOW A LOT OF BOARDS IS, IS THAT'S WHERE YEAH, SHE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REAPPLY, BUT IF NOBODY APPLIES, YOU'RE ABLE TO REAPPLY. AND SO BECAUSE YOU WANT TO, YOU DON'T WANT IT TO BE IN A POSITION.
IF YOU'RE DOWN POSITIONS, THEN YOU'RE ALREADY STRUGGLING WITH QUORUM BECAUSE IF YOU LOSE A POSITION.
YES. AND SO LIKE IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN ACTUAL PERSON IN ONE OF YOUR FIVE POSITIONS, YOU'RE RELYING ON 3, OR 3 TO ALWAYS SHOW UP FOR MEETINGS. AND SO IN THE EVENT SOMEBODY DOESN'T APPLY, IT'S BASICALLY YOU FILL THE POSITION UNTIL IT'S OTHERWISE FILLED.
[00:15:01]
AND SO THAT'S KIND OF HOW THAT, IF THEY'RE STILL INTERESTED.OKAY. SO YOU'RE NOT COUNTING SEVEN IN THE QUORUM BECAUSE TWO ARE VACANT.
RIGHT. GOTCHA. YES. OKAY. YEP. OKAY. WELL, SEVEN HASN'T.
SEVEN HASN'T BEEN ESTABLISHED YET. OH, MY BAD.
IT'S MY BAD. IS IT FIVE NOW? YEAH. WE DON'T HAVE ANY NUMBERS.
YEAH. THE THING THAT I'M THINKING IS. YES, MA'AM.
YOU CAN MORE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE LOOKED INTO.
AND PROBABLY THIS IS A GOOD THING. AND THAT KEEP IT ACTIVE.
YOU COULD BEAT THAT PROBLEM WITH HAVING THE SEVEN MEMBERS.
AND THEN YOU HAVE A DIVERSITY OF MORE MINDS. SO SAY DO WE HAVE ANY CURRENT APPLICATIONS THAT ARE IN.
AND YES, WE DO. WE DO. WE HAVE TWO. TWO. OKAY.
OKAY. I WILL ALSO POINT OUT AND SO PART OF THE REASON FOR BRINGING THIS TO THE BOARD IS THAT REALIGNMENT, AS GERI MENTIONED IT'S FOR THINGS LIKE THAT. WE DON'T CURRENTLY IDENTIFY THAT.
SO INTO A DEGREE, BY NOT IDENTIFYING THE NUMBER OF POSITIONS YOU HAVE.
A QUORUM KIND OF ISN'T A THING BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T IDENTIFIED HOW MANY POSITIONS THERE ARE.
SO IT'S MORE SO LIKE, IF YOU GET A POINT AT THE BOARD AND YOU DON'T HAVE A DEFINITION ON THAT, YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT QUORUM IS, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE SAY IT'S FIVE AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING.
BUT BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE SOMETHING IN WRITING THAT STATES WHAT OUR YOU KNOW, WHAT THE BYLAWS WOULD BE AND HOW MANY POSITIONS, IT'S KIND OF COULD GO ONE WAY OR ANOTHER IF YOU SERVE AS JUST AN ADVISORY BOARD THAT IS JUST PASSING INFORMATION.
IT'S, IN A WAY, A DIFFERENT KIND OF MEETING. IT DOESN'T SERVE THE SAME PURPOSE VERSUS WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO ABOUT A TRUE ADVISORY BOARD IS ONE THAT PROVIDES RECOMMENDATIONS AND YOU KNOW, VOTES ON THINGS AND YOU FOLLOW THE SAME MEETING LAWS.
WE SHOULD HAVE THAT. WE SHOULD HAVE A DEFINED NUMBER.
SO WHETHER IT'S UP TO SEVEN OR WE KEEP IT FIVE, IT'S JUST SAYING FIVE IS THAT NUMBER.
SO YOU'RE ABLE TO DEFINE THAT, TO SAY WHAT IS YOUR QUORUM? BECAUSE RIGHT NOW AGAIN WE DON'T HAVE THAT. AND SO WE'RE GOING BASED ON WHAT WE KNOW MEETINGS SHOULD BE.
IT JUST DOESN'T HAVE THAT CURRENTLY IN PLACE. OKAY, OKAY.
WELL NOW WHEN YOU PUT IT THAT WAY. [LAUGHTER] OKAY.
DO YOU WANT TO CLARIFY. DO YOU WANT A CLARIFICATION. YES.
SO THE ONE-YEAR BREAK. IF NO ONE APPLIES, YOU HAVE NOTHING.
THAT PERSON THAT'S GOING OFF, CAN THEY REAPPLY OR IS IT MANDATORY THAT THEY GO OFF FOR THAT ONE YEAR? IF IT'S IN OUR, WELL, I WOULD SAY IF IT'S IN THE ORDINANCE OR THE RESOLUTION A YEAR, ONE YEAR BREAK IN SERVICE.
YEAH. SO IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW IT'S DEFINED.
WHETHER IT BE AN ORDINANCE RESOLUTION, BYLAWS.
THAT'S JUST HOW YOU DEFINE THAT. LIKE YOU CAN DEFINE THAT TO BE.
IT'S A MANDATORY BREAK AND THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT ALLOWED TO REAPPLY.
SO YOU CAN HAVE THAT IN THERE. OR AGAIN SOME MENTIONED IS YOU COULD HAVE VERBIAGE THAT SAYS THEY SERVE IN THE CAPACITY UNTIL THEIR POSITION IS FILLED. IF OTHERWISE NOT THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE FOR THAT.
YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S GETTING IN THAT SIDE OF HOW STRICT DO YOU WANT TO BE? LIKE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE POLITICAL SIDE OF THINGS, IT'S IT'S MANDATORY. LIKE, I DON'T WE DON'T GET ANYBODY.
WE DON'T GET ANYBODY. YEAH. BUT YOU DO RUN THE RISK LIKE ONE OF THESE.
CAN SOMEBODY APPLY? CAN SOMEBODY APPLY? AND THAT VACANT IF YOU REQUIRE IT TO BE A MANDATORY BREAK AND YOU DON'T GET APPLICATIONS, THEN YES, YOU WILL BE SHORT, BUT YOU WERE STILL HELD BY THE STANDARD OF WHAT IS IN YOUR BYLAWS FOR HOW MANY PEOPLE.
SO WHETHER YOU HAVE TWO PEOPLE ON THE BOARD IN THREE VACANT POSITIONS.
IN THAT SCENARIO, YOU COULD NOT HOLD A MEETING THAT TOOK AN ACTION.
RIGHT. BECAUSE YOU NEVER HAVE A QUORUM, BECAUSE YOU HAVE FIVE POSITIONS AND YOU'RE SAYING TO HOLD QUORUM, YOU MUST HAVE THREE, RIGHT? SO NOT TO SAY WE WOULD HOPE WE WOULD NEVER RUN THAT RISK, BUT IN THE EVENT THAT YOU DON'T FEEL IT, YOU HAD A VACANT POSITION THAT DOESN'T ISN'T ABLE TO SERVE.
[00:20:04]
I'M LIKE, OH, WELL, I'M OUT OF TOWN. WELL, YOU'RE AUTOMATICALLY OUT OF THE MIX AND WE HAVE NOBODY ELSE TO GO TO KIND OF THING.SO IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW WE HOW WE PUT THAT VERBIAGE IN PLACE.
WHILE YOU'RE ON THAT ONE, I'M GOING TO GO DOWN TO ATTENDANCE AND VACANCIES.
ANY MEMBER WHO'S ABSENT FROM THREE CONSECUTIVE REGULAR MEMBERS MEETINGS WITHOUT A VALID EXCUSE, SHALL BE SUBJECT TO REMOVAL. VACANCIES SHALL BE FILLED BY THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE UNEXPIRED TERM WITHIN 30 DAYS OF NOTIFICATION. SO, YES, IF YOU'RE HAVE A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT OR SICK OR SO.
COMMISSION CAN DETERMINE OR WE CAN EVEN DO A STAFF HOWEVER WE WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THAT, ON A VALID EXCUSE OR IF IT'S A COMPARED TO THE, YOU KNOW, LIKE NO CALL, NO SHOW. I WOULD THINK THREE CONSECUTIVE MEETINGS WOULD BE REMOVAL BECAUSE CURRENTLY WE DON'T HAVE IN PLACE OF REMOVING FOR MISSED MEETINGS. SO WHAT IT SAYS WITHOUT A VALID EXCUSE, AS DETERMINED BY THE COMMISSION. AND IT'S TALKING ABOUT THIS COMMISSION? YES. OKAY. AND WE JUST DECIDE IF THERE IS A VALID EXCUSE AMONGST OURSELVES.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? OKAY. OKAY. OKAY.
AS OF RIGHT NOW, YES. YOU'LL ELECT A CHAIRPERSON.
THE CHAIRPERSON, THOUGH, DOES NOT HAVE A TIME LIMIT, SO TO SAY.
SO THE COMMISSION SHALL ELECT A CHAIRPERSON. IT SAYS OTHER OFFICERS.
I DON'T FORESEE THERE NEEDING TO BE OTHER OFFICERS.
SOME OF THE OTHER BOARDS HAVE THOSE, BUT I THINK THE CHAIRPERSON IS FINE.
AT THE FIRST MEETING OF THE FISCAL YEAR ALONG WITH MEETINGS BEING HELD AT LEAST QUARTERLY.
SO THAT JUST MEANS THAT WE MEET AT LEAST FOUR TIMES A YEAR.
WE CAN STILL KEEP MEETING BI-MONTHLY. AT YOUR DISCRETION OR HOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO SO, BUT AT LEAST LETS US KNOW THAT WE HAVE TO MEET AT LEAST FOUR TIMES A YEAR. OKAY. A MINIMUM OF FOUR TIMES A YEAR.
OKAY. AND SO WE ADD IN HERE SHALL ELECTED CHAIRPERSON AND OTHER OFFICERS WERE NOT BEING REQUIRED TO LET OTHER OFFICERS. YOU JUST LEAVE. I CAN ACTUALLY REMOVE THAT.
IT WOULD JUST BE THE COMMISSION SHALL ELECT A CHAIRPERSON AS NEEDED AT THE FIRST MEETING OF THE FISCAL YEAR, WHICH WOULD BE EVERY OCTOBER. SO WHICH OUR NEXT MEETING WOULD BE OCTOBER, DEPENDING ON HOW WE GO ABOUT IT.
BUT THROUGH A PAPER, OKAY. ARE THEIR TERMS, DO THEY END IN SEPTEMBER OR AUGUST? WHAT IS. SEPTEMBER. OKAY. AND THEN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.
YOU GUYS ALREADY DO THIS. IT JUST CLARIFIES THAT RELATING TO HOW Y'ALL HOUSING THE, WHAT Y'ALL ARE.
SO THAT DOESN'T CHANGE. SO ANY ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK, ANY HOW WE'RE FEELING ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION. YES, MA'AM. THE QUESTION LADY.
YEAH, WE APPRECIATE IT, SERIOUSLY. BACK UP TO THE TERM LIMITS.
SO IF MY TERM IS UP AND I DON'T REAPPLY, THEN I'VE MISSED MY CHANCE FOR THIS ELECTION YEAR, APPOINTMENT YEAR. IS THAT CORRECT? I WOULD SAY YES.
SO YEAH, IT WOULD DEPEND ON IF THERE'S OTHER APPLICATIONS.
RIGHT, RIGHT. SO IF THERE WAS NO OTHER APPLICATIONS, IT WAS STILL AN OPEN POSITION, YOU'D STILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY, BECAUSE WE WOULD FILL IT UNTIL THE, A VACANT POSITION UNTIL IT'S FILLED, RIGHT.
SO IN THE EVENT THAT YOU JUST YOU ONE YEAR RENEWAL COMES UP AND YOU'RE LIKE I'M NOT SURE.
LIKE THAT CAN VARY AND CHANGE BASED ON THE NEED.
THAT'S JUST OUR RECOMMENDATION, HOW IT'S CHANGED NOW VERSUS THE BOARD CURRENTLY BEING IN A YEAR.
IT'S INTERESTING THE ABSENTEEISM THAT WE PUT IN THERE BEING THREE CONSECUTIVE IF Y'ALL MET FOUR TIMES IN A YEAR AND SOMEBODY WAS ABSENT THREE TIMES IN ONE YEAR, THAT BASICALLY IS THE WHOLE TERM THAT THEY WOULD SERVE ANYWAYS.
[00:25:02]
CORRECT. BUT THAT'S WHY WE PUT IN THERE THAT EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES MAY BE COME INTO PLAY.AND THAT'S THE BOARD'S DECISION. IF THEY WANT TO PASS IT ALONG TO SAY WE RECOMMEND REMOVAL.
SO OKAY. AND WOULD THAT ABSENTEEISM DISCUSSION HAPPEN DURING A MEETING AND BEING RECORDED AND EVERYTHING. SO WE COULD BE STRATEGIC WITH THAT ONE TO MAKE IT, BECAUSE WE CAN PUT IN AN EXECUTIVE SESSION, WHICH WOULD BE A CLOSED MEETING. DISCUSSING THE APPOINTMENT OF THE INDIVIDUAL.
SO IT WOULDN'T HAVE TO BE A RECORDED MEETING.
WE WOULD HAVE THAT, BUT IT WOULDN'T BE SUBJECT TO THE PUBLIC. OKAY.
GOTCHA. YEAH. DEPENDING ON WHAT THE OUTCOME WAS, THEN WE WOULD BRING IT FORWARD TO SAY WHAT IT WAS.
BUT THE DISCUSSIONS OF THE BACK AND FORTH, NO.
LIKE IN THE EVENT LIKE, SAY, IT WAS A MEDICAL THING.
OKAY. GOTCHA. GOOD QUESTION. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? OH, I THINK THEY'RE GOOD. I, I THINK WE'VE GROWN SO THAT THAT'S WHY THIS IS COMING ABOUT WHEN WE FIRST STARTED.
YOU KNOW, I CAN TELL YOU A LOT OF CHANGES, SO I KIND OF GO WITH IT, I LIKE THAT.
GOOD, GOOD. THANK YOU. SO JUST TO PINPOINT WHERE YOU'RE SEEING THOSE CHANGES OR PROPOSALS.
THE TERM LIMIT WOULD BE TWO YEARS AS A LIMIT.
AND THEN CONSIDERING WE HAVE KIND OF MIXED FEEDBACK WITH THE WHETHER TWO CONSECUTIVE YEARS WITH THE BREAK AND THEN REAPPLYING OR UNLIMITED TERMS. AND THEN MEMBER ABSENTEEISM, THREE CONSECUTIVE MEETINGS WITHOUT A VALID EXCUSE. AND THEN ALSO HAVING THE CHAIRPERSON BE REELECTED AT THE FISCAL YEAR OF EACH YEAR.
OKAY. AND BACK UP TO THE FIRST ONE QUESTION, 55 YEARS OF AGE.
RESIDENT. IS THERE A MINIMUM AMOUNT OF TIME THEY NEED TO BE A RESIDENT? AS OF RIGHT NOW, THERE'S NOTHING PROPOSED. OKAY.
I THINK WITH IT CURRENTLY BEING THAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET FOLKS IN.
I PROBABLY WOULDN'T PUT THAT RESTRICTION ON IT.
OKAY, I KNOW I LIKE THAT, I LIKE THAT. I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THAT.
BUT THEY DO. YOU'RE SAYING THEY DO HAVE TO BE A RESIDENT OF ANGLETON AS OF RIGHT NOW? YES. OKAY. OKAY. AND SOMETHING TO CONSIDER IS, YOU KNOW, OUR PROGRAMS ARE GEARED TOWARDS ANGLETON RESIDENTS, RIGHT? THAT'S WHO WE, I MEAN, WE SERVE EVERYONE THAT COMES IN, BUT HERE IS CITY OF ANGLETON.
YEAH. GOTCHA. OKAY. ONE THING I DID WANT TO POINT OUT, I APOLOGIZE.
I STEPPED AWAY. SO I MAY HAVE BEEN MENTIONED.
SO THAT WAY YOU WOULD ONLY HAVE A PORTION OF YOUR BOARD ROLLING OFF EVERY OTHER YEAR.
SO. SO IF WE WERE TO MAKE THESE CHANGES, WE WOULD DEFINITELY GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THAT LOOKED LIKE SO THAT WE COULD IDENTIFY WHICH POSITIONS ARE STAYING ON FOR TWO YEARS AND WHICH ONES WOULD BE UP FOR REELECTION AFTER A YEAR.
SO IT'S JUST USUALLY A HICCUP THAT COMES IN. IF YOU HAVE A BOARD THAT'S AN ANNUAL YOU KNOW, IT'S A ONE-YEAR TERM, APOLOGIES. IT WOULD CAUSE JUST THAT ONE YEAR HICCUP.
TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT THAT LOOKED LIKE.
FEELING ONE WAY OR ANOTHER ABOUT THE YEAR BREAK.
BECAUSE IT IS FEEDBACK. YOU'RE NOT VOTING AGAIN, IF YOU WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT A LITTLE BIT.
NO MOTION, NO NOTHING. SO WHAT DO YOU, WHAT DO YOU PREFER SARAH? OR DO YOU HAVE A PREFERENCE FOR THE TERM LIMIT? THE THIRD THING DOWN THE, COUNCIL MEMBERS HERE, RIGHT THERE.
YEAH. THE TERM LIMITS. SO IT'S LIKE TWO OPTIONS IN THERE.
[00:30:10]
I THINK THE TERM THAT I'VE BEEN ON A LONG TIME AND I LOVE IT, BUT THAT SOUNDS GOOD, BECAUSE LET SOMEBODY COME IN AND SEE YOUR REAL FATHER. AND I WILL SAY THAT I WAS DOUBLE CHECKING THIS ONLINE.PARKS BOARD DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A TERM LIMIT.
ABLC DOES NOT EITHER. AND NEITHER KAB DOESN'T.
SO THAT WOULD BE KIND OF A FIRST AS FAR AS THE BOARDS THAT WE OVERSEE.
SO JUST PUTTING THAT OUT THERE, I'M NOT SURE WHERE COUNCIL WOULD GO WITH THAT ONE, BUT THE OTHER BOARDS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE DON'T HAVE AN ACTUAL TERM LIMIT ASSOCIATED WITH THEM. AND JUST AS A GENERAL QUESTION, ARE THERE THESE LONG TERM BOARD MEMBERS PRETTY ACTIVE IN THE BOARDS? ISSUE WITH SOMEBODY JUST SERVING, SERVING, SERVING, SERVING, BUT ARE THEY REALLY CONTRIBUTING ANYTHING? I WILL SAY THAT THEY CONTRIBUTE IN EACH BOARD IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
AND SO IT'S KIND OF UNIQUE HOW WE DESIGN THOSE.
AND SO THEY HAVE A BUDGET THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH IT.
AND SO YOU SEE SOME OF THAT MORE OFTEN OR EVEN A ABLC.
AND SO THEY'VE BEEN ON IT. BUT THEY ALSO UNDERSTAND WHAT COMES WITH THAT ONE.
THAT IS A NEED OF BEING AN ACTIVE BOARD IN THE THINGS THAT THEY DO.
SO IT JUST DEPENDS ON THE BOARD. AND REALLY WHEN YOU IDENTIFY THIS LIKE YOU'RE IDENTIFYING WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE, WHAT PARTICIPATION LOOKS LIKE. AND EXAMPLES WOULD BE AS AN ADVISORY BOARD.
LIKE AN EXPECTATION WOULD BE THAT IF YOU'RE ON THIS BOARD, YOU'RE GOING TO BRING THINGS TO US, WHAT YOU'RE HEARING FROM THE COMMUNITY. AND SO THAT'S PART OF THE PURPOSE OF THE BOARD, IS WE'RE EXPECTING THAT THE BOARD GOES OUT IN THE COMMUNITY AND GETS WITH CURRENT PROGRAMMERS, OUR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS, AND THE COMMUNITY IN GENERAL TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR.
AND THEY'RE BRINGING THINGS TO US FOR CONSIDERATION OF, HEY, I WAS OUT AND I HAD TALKED TO TEN PEOPLE THIS THE PAST TWO MONTHS, AND THIS IS WHAT THEY'RE SAYING THEY'RE LOOKING FOR, THIS IS ONE THING WE DON'T HAVE, AND THAT BRINGS THEM BACK TO US FOR STAFF TO BE ABLE TO SAY, OKAY, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN LOOK AT. HOW CAN WE MAKE THAT HAPPEN? AND SO IT'S JUST DEFINING WHAT THAT ACTIVE PARTICIPATION LOOKS LIKE.
OKAY. YEAH. OKAY. ARE WE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A CITY COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE THAT SITS ON THIS BOARD? YOU YOU DO? AND UNFORTUNATELY, THEY DON'T COME TOWARDS A QUORUM.
SO THEY ARE A COUNCIL LIAISON. SO THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD INCLUDE IN IT.
BLAINE WAS JUST RECENTLY ASSIGNED TO THIS COMMISSION.
SO I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE FROM THAT. BUT EACH OF OUR BOARDS DOES HAVE THAT. AND DOES THAT CITY COUNCIL MEMBER HAVE A VOTING. NO, MA'AM. YEAH. JUST KNOW THEY ARE A LIAISON AND THEY'RE HERE TO OBSERVE AND BE ABLE TO REPORT BACK TO COUNCIL IF THEY NEED TO BRING SOMETHING TO THEIR ATTENTION.
AND JUST SERVE IN THAT CAPACITY. AND IS THE CITY COUNCIL PERSON A ONE OF THE SEVEN MEMBERS? NO. NO, NO, NO. OKAY. THEY WOULD STILL, IT'S KIND OF SIMILAR LIKE WE WOULD BE.
SO WE ARE ASSIGNED TO THE BOARD TO SUPPORT. AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY VOTES.
WE NEED MEAN, RIGHT? DOES IT? DOES ANY OF THAT NEED TO BE IN HERE ABOUT THE CITY COUNCIL LIAISON AND THAT THEY DON'T VOTE AND BLAH, BLAH, BLAH? THEY COULD, ACTUALLY COULD BE. YEAH, WE COULD HAVE THAT.
BUT I NEVER, WE ALWAYS HAD A CITY COUNCIL [INAUDIBLE] CITY COUNCIL SHOW UP HERE.
THEY JUST SHOW UP. WHO. WE ACTUALLY HAVE. AND THEY JUST SHOW UP.
OH, IS THAT IT? NO, NOT SINCE I'VE BEEN ON THIS BOARD.
THERE'S BEEN NO. WELL, THEY'RE SLOW. [LAUGHTER].
NO, THEY'RE NOT SLOW, THEY'RE NOT SHOW. I WANT TO SAY OUR LAST LIAISON HE HAD CITY COUNCIL'S WORK. HAD A STRONG LEADER.
THAT LEADER OF COURSE FOR WHAT THEY WANT. AND YOU EITHER GET THEM RIGHT AND GET IT DONE.
[00:35:03]
YOU NEED SOMEONE, THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE YOU GET ONE PERSON.LISTEN AT PARKS COMMITTEE, MEGAN, GUY DONE. MY GOD, WE NEVER HAD TOO MANY PARKS.
I'VE LIVED HERE 74 YEARS. WE GOT THREE PARKS IN THE COUNTY.
BUT IT'S BECAUSE SHE PUSHED AND PUSHED AND PUSHED.
SHE WOULDN'T GIVE UP. IF YOU WANT SOMETHING, YOU NEED A PERSON LIKE THAT.
I NEED A STRONG ONE. AM I RIGHT? ON ANY BOARD.
YEAH. IT FOLLOWS US BUT SHE IS STRONG. I THINK I'M GOING FOR THE RIGHT THING.
YEAH. SO WHAT WERE YOU SAYING, GERI? I'M SORRY.
OH, NO. ANY MORE DISCUSSION? OH, OKAY. NO. OKAY.
SO WHICH WAY ARE YOU MOVING AGAIN? AND I GUESS PROBABLY THE, WHAT I, NOW THAT I UNDERSTAND, I'M STILL WITH THE TWO CONSECUTIVE TERMS IN A ONE-YEAR BREAK.
WELL, IT DEPENDS ON HOW IT'S WORDED. BUT IF IT'S A MANDATORY BREAK, IT'S A MANDATORY BREAK.
IN FACT, IT'S SET OFF A YEAR. I MEAN, WE CAN MAKE IT MANDATORY THOUGH.
BUT THAT'S UPDATES ON THE WORDING. SO IF IT'S YEAH.
I UNDERSTAND. YEAH. SO WE CAN LEAVE OFF THAT MANDATORY.
SO AS YOU'RE SAYING WE'LL KEEP THE EXECUTIVE.
BUT IF WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY APPLYING THOSE INDIVIDUALS CAN REAPPLY.
RIGHT. YEAH. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. AND NO FURTHER DISCUSSION.
THEN WE WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER THREE. ITEM NUMBER THREE.
DISCUSSION ON THE PROPOSED SILVER HEARTS SENIOR PROGRAM GENERAL RULES AND CODE OF CONDUCT.
OKAY. SO THESE GENERAL RULES AND CODE OF CONDUCT WERE CREATED IN RESPONSE TO OUR PROGRAM'S CONTINUED GROWTH AND EVOLVING PARTICIPANT DYNAMICS. SIMILAR RULES AND CONDUCT POLICIES ARE ALREADY IN PLACE AT OTHER PARKS AND RECREATION AGENCIES THAT ARE WITHIN OUR REGION. WE REACHED OUT AND EVERYBODY'S GOING THROUGH THE SAME GROWTH SPURT WITH THEIR SENIOR COMMUNITIES.
AND SO THESE FOLKS HAVE ALREADY ESTABLISHED CODE OF CONDUCT AND PROGRAM RULES.
AND SO WE WOULD LIKE TO DO SO AS WE'RE SEEING THAT SAME KIND OF GROWTH NOW TO HELP WITH MAINTAINING A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE AND PARTICIPATION FOR ALL OF THOSE COMING OUT. SO AS YOU'LL SEE, AND YOU'LL HAVE A DOCUMENT THAT OUTLINES EXPECTATIONS FOR PARTICIPANT BEHAVIOR, TRIP PROCEDURES, DISCIPLINARY POLICIES AND THE APPEAL PROCESS.
SO JUST KIND OF GOING THROUGH OUR CODE OF CONDUCT TO CREATE A POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT AND SENSE OF COMMUNITY WITHIN SILVER HEART SENIOR PROGRAMS. INDIVIDUALS WHO PARTICIPATE, WHICH INCLUDES VISITORS, VOLUNTEERS, GUEST SPEAKERS, ENTERTAINERS, STAFF SHOULD ALWAYS CONDUCT THEMSELVES APPROPRIATELY, TREAT EACH OTHER AND STAFF COURTESY, RESPECT AND COOPERATION. IT'S A ZERO TOLERANCE PROGRAM AS IT RELATES TO INDIVIDUALS INAPPROPRIATE CONDUCT, BEHAVIOR AND OR ACTIONS. TO ENSURE A SAFE, RESPECTFUL AND POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT, THE CODE OF CONDUCT HAS BEEN CREATED.
SO BEING POLITE, YOU'LL READ THROUGH THOSE. I WON'T HIT ON EACH ONE OF THEM, BUT COURTESY, GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP, COOPERATION WITH STAFF FOR SAFETY AND ORDER AND DISCIPLINE.
BUS TRIP PROCEDURES, SINCE WE ARE SEEING SO MANY INDIVIDUALS AND WE HAVE SOMETIMES MORE THAN ONE VEHICLE WE'RE KIND OF PUTTING A TIME LIMIT IN THERE. PASSENGERS MUST BE ABLE TO ABOARD THE VEHICLE WITH MINIMAL ASSISTANCE AND A LIFT.
ADA LIFT IS AVAILABLE FOR WHEELCHAIR BOUND PARTICIPANTS.
SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS VICKI IS NOT A TRAINED HEALTH CARE.
AND ALSO WE CAN'T PUT THAT ON ONE STAFF MEMBER EITHER.
SO THAT'S ALSO IN HERE TRIPS. WHERE IS IT? I HAVE A QUESTION, IS THE ADA LIFT WORKING? YES IT IS. OKAY. YES. OKAY. TRIPS DETAILS, AGAIN CAN CHANGE.
SEATING IS ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVICE BASIS.
PARTICIPANTS TO ABOARD THE BUS BEFORE THE TRIP MUST RETURN ON THE BUS.
[00:40:04]
DRINK CONTAINERS, I'LL TALK ABOUT THAT. CONTAINERS? CAN I MAKE A COMMENT ON THAT? SO MUST HAVE A SEALABLE TOP.YOU KNOW A NON DISPOSABLE CONTAINER WITH A SEALABLE TOP.
SO IN OTHER WORDS, I CAN'T BRING A BUCKY'S OR MCDONALD'S CUP ON.
OKAY. SO LIKE PLASTIC LIDS, STRAWS KIND OF THING.
YES, YES. THAT EITHER SCREW ON OR FIT TIGHTLY ON, AND SO.
OKAY. WE'LL LOOK INTO THAT. OKAY. PARTICIPANTS MAY OPT TO DRIVE THEMSELVES AND FAMILY MEMBERS TO A SILVER HEART TRIP DESTINATION, WITH PRIOR NOTICE GIVEN TO THE CITY STAFF. CERTAIN TRIPS WILL ALLOW A PARTICIPANT TO DRIVE HIMSELF WHILE STILL HAVING THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SCHEDULED TRIP OR PROGRAM, SO NOT ALL TRIPS WILL ALLOW THAT, BUT CERTAIN TRIPS AT THE DECISION OF THE CITY STAFF.
SO THOSE ARE ON THE TRIP SPECIFICALLY. AND THEN WE HAVE BEHAVIOR AS WELL.
BEING INVOLVED IN ENFORCED INSUBORDINATION, FAILURE TO CONFORM TO CITY RULES, POLICIES, PROCEDURES OR ORDERS, OR CODE OF CONDUCT. USE OF PROFANITY, VULGAR LANGUAGE OR OBSCENE GESTURES.
YELLING. EXCESSIVE NOISE. BULLYING. SEXUAL HARASSMENT.

DEFACING CITY PROPERTY. ENGAGING IN INAPPROPRIATE PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH PARTICIPANT OR STAFF MEMBER.
RUNNING, SHOVING, PUSHING, LITTERING OR THROWING OBJECTS.
POSSESSION OF ANY OR HAVING THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.
SO OUT OF THAT, WE'VE COME UP WITH A DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES FOR MISCONDUCT.
SO WE ARE GOING WITH THE THREE EVENT SYSTEM. THAT FIRST OFFENSE BEING THAT THEY WOULD BE SUSPENDED FOR ONE WEEK FROM SILVER HEARTS PROGRAMS. SO THAT BEING THEY CAN STILL COME TO THE FACILITY IF THEY HAVE A MEMBERSHIP TO UTILIZE FACILITIES, THAT'S NOT GOING TO BAR THEM FROM GOING TO CLASS OR GOING TO THE WEIGHT ROOM OR GOING TO THE POOL.
IT'S SPECIFICALLY FOR SILVER HEARTS PROGRAMS ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES.
A SECOND OFFENSE WOULD BE A 30 DAY SUSPENSION, AND THEN A THIRD OFFENSE THEY COULD HAVE THEIR PRIVILEGES TO SENIOR HEARTS PROGRAMS REVOKED. WHO'S GOING TO MONITOR THAT? AND HOW IS THAT GOING TO BE MONITORED TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE JUST DON'T SHOW UP ANYWAY.
SO WE HAVE A SYSTEM ALREADY THAT WE UTILIZE FOR OUR SUMMER CAMP.
OKAY. BEING IF THEY HAVE ANY BEHAVIORAL ISSUES THAT COME UP SAME THING WITH VIOLATIONS OF THE CITY THE RECREATION CENTER, IF THEY ARE REMOVED FROM THE FACILITY FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME, WE CAN PUT NOTES ON THEIR ACCOUNT THROUGH OUR CIVIC REC SYSTEM.
AND AGAIN, WE CAN PUT THOSE NOTES ON OUR CIVIC REC SYSTEM.
SO IT FLAGS TO SAY THAT THIS INDIVIDUAL CAN'T, THEN ALSO.
IT COMES UP AND SAYS NO YOU CAN'T COME HERE BECAUSE OF X.
WELL IT'S NOT TO THE FACILITY, IT WOULD BE TO VICKI'S PROGRAMING, SO SHE WOULD KNOW WHO WOULD BE ALLOWED ON AND OFF TRIPS AND WHO WOULD BE ALLOWED TO GO TO HER PROGRAMS. OKAY. RIGHT. RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. BECAUSE THEY CAN STILL IF THEY IF WE HAD A MOVIE NIGHT OR SO, THEY CAN STILL ATTEND THAT SENIOR PROGRAM. I KNOW FOR LIKE, SAY, BINGO OR BUNCO, THEY THEY JUST WALK IN.
THEY DON'T NECESSARILY SCAN IT. RIGHT. BUT VICKI WOULD KNOW.
IS WE HAVE THAT ON FILE TO GO BACK AND SAY, OKAY, THIS PERSON HAS ON THEIR SECOND OFFENDER.
GOTCHA. LET'S SEE. AND WE ALSO HAVE IN HERE IF THAT INDIVIDUAL DECIDES TO APPEAL THAT WOULD BE AT THE DISCRETION OF THE RECREATION SUPERINTENDENT, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OR DIRECTOR.
THE RECREATION SUPERINTENDENT, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OR DIRECTOR. IF WE HAVE TO CONTACT LAW ENFORCEMENT, THAT SO BE SO. CONDUCT CODE OF CONDUCT VIOLATIONS OR DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS OR THE DISCRETION OF LEADERSHIP.
[00:45:07]
SOME MAY BE PUNISHABLE BY, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, SPONGES OR PERMANENT REMOVAL FOR FIRST OFFENSES.SO THAT MEANING THE SEVERITY OF THE FIRST OFFENSE IT COULD FOLLOW.
NOT ALL THREE. IT COULD BE THAT THIS WAS. YOUR DAD.
EXACTLY. OKAY. AND THEN, OF COURSE, IN DISAGREEMENT WITH DISCIPLINARY ACTION THE APPEAL WOULD BE UP TO RECREATION SUPERINTENDENT, DIRECTOR OR ASSISTANT DIRECTOR IN WRITING WITHIN TEN DAYS.
SO THEY HAVE TO FILE THAT APPEAL WITHIN TEN DAYS.
OKAY. I HAVE A QUESTION AFTER THE BULLET TO THE FIRST, SECOND, THIRD IN THE PARAGRAPH NOTWITHSTANDING, AT THE END OF IT SAYS IMMEDIATELY PROCEED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOURTH OFFENSE.
OH, SORRY. I NEED TO REMOVE THAT. OKAY. GONNA BE WITH THE.
YEAH. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND THEN ARE WE GOING TO HAVE THE SENIORS SIGN AND ACKNOWLEDGE THIS, LIKE IN WRITING? SO WE ARE LOOKING AT ROLLING THIS OUT WITH OUR NEXT QUARTER.
OKAY. JUST TO SIGN OFF ON IT. OKAY. YEAH. ANNUALLY.
SO COME IN. AND DURING THAT QUARTER WE'LL SIGN UP.
AND THEN ONCE THAT EXPIRES, THEY'LL HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN.
SO WHEN YOU SAY SIGN UP, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT FOR A TRIP OR A LUNCH OR SOMETHING? WHAT IF I'M JUST I'M JUST A BINGO PERSON. IT WOULD BE ALL OF THE THINGS.
SO IF YOU'RE SIGNING UP FOR ANYTHING SO IT'S RELATED.
WHETHER WE ARE STILL KIND OF WORKING ON THAT PROCESS INTERNALLY.
IF WE WANT TO DO IT AS AN ACTIVITY ON OUR END, BUT DOING IT AND WE COULD EVEN DO IT AT EACH QUARTER TO INSTEAD OF DOING IT ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, WE COULD DO IT QUARTERLY WITH EACH ROUND OF PROGRAMS. YOU'RE ALSO GETTING RENEWED FOR YOUR CODE OF CONDUCT, OKAY? YEAH, BUT YOU'RE PROBABLY GOOD BECAUSE YOU HAVE PEOPLE, NEW PEOPLE JOINING. RIGHT.
SO WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THOSE INTERNALLY. OKAY.
OKAY. SO BECAUSE SOME OF THE SENIORS ARE CHALLENGED WITH THEIR PHONES IN A DIGITAL FORM OF THIS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE IT IN WRITING FOR THEM. YEAH.
OKAY. AGAIN, THAT'S ONE OF THE. AGAIN, THE INTERNAL PROCESS, WHETHER WE PROVIDE A COPY OF IT WHEN THEY'RE FOR THEM TO READ OVER AND THEN THEY ACKNOWLEDGE IT. WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THAT. RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT WHAT THESE WOULD BE.
SO THIS IS STILL KIND OF A WORK IN PROGRESS. THE PROCESS IS YEAH.
BUT FOR Y'ALL TO REVIEW AND FEEDBACK ON HOW Y'ALL FEEL, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO PARTICIPATE.
I THINK IT'S GOOD. I THINK I NEED TO HAVE SOME REALLY STRONG GROUPS.
ALL RIGHT. SENIORS CAN GET UNRULY, TOO. WELL, I DON'T LIKE COMPARING IT TO SUMMER CAMP, BUT IT IS A LITTLE SIMILAR TO SUMMER CAMP. IT'S A LITTLE SLOWER. WELL, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THEM ARE AT A GATHERING WHERE THEY DO THINGS, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IT'S DIFFERENT. AND YET THEY'RE ELDERLY.
SO THEY HAVE A LOT OF NEW PEOPLE COMING IN, A LOT JUST LEARNING ABOUT PERSONALITIES.
BUT YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE [INAUDIBLE], YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ALL OPEN AND THEY LIKE THEIR WAY.
I AGREE. I AGREE. I THINK IT'S GOOD. I VOTE FOR THAT.
OH, OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTOOD.
AND IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO IT, I THINK IT'S GOOD.
I THINK WE NEED IT. YES. YEAH. YEAH. ESPECIALLY AS WE GROW LARGER.
THE LARGER WE GET, THE MORE WORK. YES. AND THE MORE ACTIVITIES THAT ARE OFFERED.
YEAH. OKAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WELL. THANK Y'ALL.
I WANTED TO COMMENT AT A GOOD TIME. YEAH, BUT WE DON'T WANT ANY PROBLEMS. RIGHT. SO REAL QUICKLY BEFORE WE END. COMMUNICATION FROM COMMISSION.
SO THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU GUYS. IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT WASN'T ON THE AGENDA THAT WE CAN'T, LIKE HARDCORE MAKE ANY DECISIONS ON. BUT IF Y'ALL WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS THIS, IS THAT OPPORTUNITY.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT EXISTING PROGRAMS, WHAT'S COMING UP? THAT IS OUR TIME TO BE ABLE TO ASK WITHOUT HAVING TO BE ON THE AGENDA AS AN AGENDA ITEM.
[00:50:02]
CAN YOU TELL US WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THAT? SO WE DO HAVE AN 11 PASSENGER VAN THAT HAS BEEN ADDED TO OUR FLEET.WE ARE STILL SOLICITING FOR A SECOND DRIVER. IF WE WERE TO TAKE A FULL ON SECOND BUS, BUT AT LEAST WITH OUR SECOND, WITH OUR VAN, WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A CDL DRIVER.
SO IT'LL JUST BE A DRIVER WITH A CLEAN RECORD.
EXACTLY. AND SO NOW THAT WE ARE ENTERING INTO OUR SLOWER SEASON, OUR OFF SEASON, SO TO SAY WE STILL HAVE PROGRAMS GOING ON WITH OUR STAFF, BUT WE'RE ABLE TO SEE IF WE CAN FIT IN, YOU KNOW, WITH THAT IN OUR SCHEDULE.
WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT BUDGETARY THINGS. ON WHAT WE CAN DO.
FOR ADDITIONAL SEASONAL HELP. NO PROMISES ON ANYTHING, BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT WE CAN MAKE HAPPEN TO WHERE, IF WE HAVE ASSISTANCE, WHERE CAN WE PLUG THOSE IN TO TAKE AT LEAST THE 11 PASSENGER VAN.
OKAY. IS THAT 11 PASSENGERS PLUS THE DRIVER? BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE 12 TOTAL.
