So we do not have a chair. We do have a chair. It is Vice Chair. Goodson will now take over. Chair of— or Craig, as Craig, Chair Craig moved.

And so, uh, will now be, uh, the chair of the Pennsylvania Agency, and I'm going to pro tem Bill Sadler to lead this while you guys vote. So just follow the script.

Just following the script until you—. I'm just questioning that the vote without some people here. I questioned, uh, the city clerk and our deputy clerk today on that very matter, and they went back to Robert's Rules of Order and said to, um, that it can be done without the chair here. So the chair— while the chair is not present, you can still follow the agenda of the meeting, which was to vote for a vice chair, because I had that same question. Okay, call to order then.

September I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Who can hit roll call? Saffron? Here. Roger.

Barb, are you here? Barb's here. I'm sorry.

I'm here.

So, nominations.

What are—. I didn't hear exactly what was going on, but the nomination for the vice chair, which is great, but what are our choices? It's a pleasure. It's who do we actually have that we can nominate?

We'll send them. So you have the three of you. Either of you can do it. Great. How did you do it?

Vice chair? I would prefer not to. I would nominate you. And your name is? I'm Patty.

Patty. Patty. Patty. Last name is? Segura.

Segura. Same. I, uh, I'm not sure.

You think that's right?

Too new. Any objections?

So yeah, you do a roll call. It doesn't say roll call, it just says are there any objections, um, Patty serving as vice chair. No objections are announced. Can ask for— this comes in.

Can we see that? Now, can we see that?

Welcome, welcome. No, sorry, you don't have to take—. Okay, is there a motion to approve the agenda presented?

Anybody?

Anybody want to second that? I'll second. Okay.

Are there any revisions to the agenda? I wasn't here last month.

Did we come up with anything last month? What do you say? I don't think so. You mean there was nothing new to the agenda last month? Okay, so I assume that there was no revisions to the agenda.

Did we get a revisit of any of the other things that we were going to do? The things that we were going to do? We had new business that we went over last month. Okay. And so the survey results.

That was last one. It was 2 minutes ago. Okay. Are there any objections to approving the agenda as presented?

Hearing none, the agenda is approved. With comments, we have none. Um, unscheduled public comments. Are there any members from the public who would like to speak on any of the items? There's nobody from the public here.

Sorry, I don't think.

Um, is there anybody that might not be here? Good seeing you all. Um, approval of minutes. May I have a motion to approve the July 9th, 2026 minutes?

Okay, Ginger, Ginger, I will try to put the paint on it.

Are there any revisions to the minutes?

Are there any objections to approving the minutes?

No, there's no objection. The minutes are approved. Thank you for improvising. I appreciate it. Thank you.

I think I'm getting a little off balance. I haven't done this in so long. Okay. Do we have any unfinished business? We do, don't we?

Yeah. Okay. Then new business. Done? We did our business.

Okay.

Reports. Can you report, Kathy? Yes. They have you, Kathy, to report. We are, we have been running for the last 2 months on no gas.

It's as well, our, as you know, our group was, Missy was attacked by Robert. And has been out. And so she is doing well. She is recovering and doing nicely. David, our books assistant, has filled in very nicely.

And he has gone— he knew she was going to retire one of these days. And so just didn't anticipate it that she would be gone for a 2-month hiatus, 2-month-plus hiatus. And I think he's done substantial. He's done fantastic. He's done really, really well.

And so he's learned it all right up front and had, we had some great volunteers in the kitchen. Well, we have had Judy Walker, who is Del Geller's daughter, retired after 33 years from Kenai High School kitchen. And she was in charge there for a long time. She retired this past summer. And so she works Tuesdays and Thursdays in the kitchen.

And Diane Hooper, who used to own Veronica's before Kim bought it, she has been working Mondays and Fridays, Monday, Wednesday, Friday with me in the kitchen too. So we got some seasoned folks who are helping out. It's been good. And then we have other seniors who come in and cut. And Paul, who was one of our former employees, He quit so he could work as many hours in the kitchen as he wanted to.

So anyway, that's been going. We've been hanging in there.

And, uh, volunteer, most of those except for David, and we do have people, mass, we have a massive board who helps with dishes, who's part-time. They're there, which we're thankful for. It's just been everybody, Red and I have cooked both the day and To get David back, which you guys did great. I mean, you did. Hi, Agnes.

And so we're hanging in there. We don't know about the return and what that looks like yet. And so we're just going to keep moving on. But it's been a good month. September is busy.

We kept it packed with a lot of activities. We still have not received the agreement for the 5310 DOT grant, which is red said in a teleconference with that last week, a one-on-one with DOT to find out some of the particulars of what they're going, what's going to happen with it. And that's exciting and working with DOT on this and, and DOT has its own lists its own, they get what is called from the vendors that they get contracts, contracts for city, for state contracts with these vendors. And as a result, this grant will be able to go through the vendors as well. So that's, that's all exciting.

We are also just talking about applying again this year for Operating costs for— we're not looking for another vehicle. We want to have 4 all within a year and a half. I think that's pretty good. And so we are looking at operating costs to see if the 5311 grant could help with DOT, could help with driver salaries. It could help with some of the operating costs as far as gasoline and things.

And we're working with city finance to find out what part of that is not covered by our Title III grant and our borough grant. And hopefully, and then we'll get, we'll get a small part. We don't relish having to do the reporting for grants, but if it's money that we could go after, we need to do that. —Residents admit to that. So the building, we see the overhang here that was scheduled to be retarred and re-roofed.

They got in it and found structural damage to it from the water. And I found out with Lee today there will be a change order that is going to go before council next week. That will have to increase the amount. They will take all the siding off. The only thing that we leave in place are the beams, the beams that run across, and the beams that hold it up, and everything else will be replaced.

So you figure that was 1983 that was put on, so it's done pretty well. Yeah, and it's time. So, um, that's exciting for it. So, um, we have dates and October coming up. Actually, we don't have dates in October.

It's November that we have coming up, but we have several road trips that— and last year we weren't able to do a lot of these. Oh, actually last year we were, but earlier in the summer before we got the vans. And so we're taking advantage of the good weather and doing a lot of road trips that are going Red's taking a group to Anchor Point tomorrow and going to the Nibley Bowl. Paul and I are taking two vans to Hope. It's the annual trip to Hope.

We're going a week from tomorrow to Hope. So that's kind of exciting too.

Anything— I will be out the last week of September into the first week of October and be going to Victoria, Vancouver, Victoria to see our kids. And then there's an aging summit in Anchorage the third week, and I'll be gone for part of the week for the convention event. And anything I'm leaving out, right? No, Bridget, I don't think so. We were able to finally get acceptance for a Title III grant, which we were a little late on this.

And we With the change in finances, our city, you know, finances has gone through it with the new— again, they have a new controller. And so, Red and I are learning more about our 23 grants than we ever knew before. But that's good because it is, it takes a controller a long time. The Title II grant is the toughest grant for finance. And so we're learning more and more about that.

Terry was able to sign on it yesterday, which is an acceptance of it. So that's how we got over 300.

$500,000. So that's good. And I don't have anything else, but I'm happy to answer questions.

I'm with Grants. Sorry, that's from 3 of them. Excuse me. On the borough grant and the Title III grant alone are over $500,000. We're running about $500,000 for $185,000, almost $186,000 on the borough, $302,000 on the state grants.

We get another probably $100,000 to $110,000 that would be waiver money.

We get MSIP, that's another thing to report is— Rich, you want to talk about the MSIP? I'm trying to do math in my head. So July 1st is the new fiscal year. For instant money, and it changed from, I don't know, 70 cents, I think, or less, up to $1.18. So every time somebody signs in and has a meal, we can claim $1.18 reimbursement from the feds.

I was trying to do the math in my head. It was close to, I think it was a little over $3,000 for July. But if you did the math, $3,000 times 12 would be the average. That's, that's instant money. I don't know if it will continue next, you know, next July, but right this minute, that's where it's at.

It's the same funding that you see, uh, they do it for like school lunches and such, only the reimbursement rate for children is much higher than it is for seniors. It's a USDA grant. Yeah, that would get separate, but it's channeled through the state.

Yeah. Wonderful. Senior Connection also gives $120,000 of that, and I consider that's a, that's a crying expense that they give a donation, a yearly donation. We also get upwards, we try to project upwards to $100,000 for donations throughout the year. Meal donations, ride donations, and then the city of Kenai balances our budget.

Is there any way that that's written down? Yes. Okay, I can get you a copy of that. I can get you a copy of our budget. Okay, um, that's just provided for the board chair.

And, and, and, um, then we have the city councilman.

Oh, I'm sorry, she's KCHS. It's okay. So August 5th, um, at our meeting, we amended the, you know, municipal code to allow the city manager to, um, accept grants and donations under $10,000. We, um, that was— we removed the public purpose designations on some— on 6 parcels to accommodate disposal recommendations in our plans, so they'll come up for sale if people want to buy them.

And then we also increased revenues and appropriations in for the sewer and partial construction of water in on 6th Street. There's a developer wanted to come in and start building there, and I'm not sure, but I think that got— I think at our next meeting, Beth We had to terminate that because the only bid we got was for about twice what we had the money. So it didn't happen. We also authorized a contract to purchase computer equipment. That was at August 5th.

And then on the 16th, we— or 19th, we had a few more things. We increased revenues into the police department's general fund for They got an appropriation through the Alaska Department of Transportation for traffic enforcement overtime expenditures, and they also got a grant from the Alaska High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area overtime expenditures. The Kenai Municipal Code, we amended that and established the zones and mapped at airport light industrial because that was a request from some people that are operating around the airport. And then we accepted a gift distribution from Meals on Wheels. That was a $10,000 grant.

Is that right? That you hadn't anticipated. That was pretty cool. And then we authorized contract for a digester pump that was with Public Works, and we renewed software licensing and support for, um, purchase orders, payroll, and accounting, and human resources. We authorized the city manager to enter into a contract agreement with the Borough School District to support community access to the Kenai Central High School swimming pool.

That was $46,000, and, you know, there was the threat they were going to close all of the soon. And so we put up $46,000 to pay for utilities, but now it looks like they're going to be getting that money back from the state. And if they do so, we included language that they're going to get back— they can't double dip. So we'll keep that. Um, and then we redirected previously appropriated capital funds in the Vintage Point Improvement Capital project for the repair and placement of windows.

And then at our last meeting, we, um, the big thing I remember— the other stuff wasn't— there wasn't much on our agenda, but the big one was we, um, passed an ordinance to put on the ballot for the citizens of Kenai could vote if they want a $75,000 exemption on their primary residence. So that was the big one.

And that's a life insurance? You have to be a certain age? No, it's just every citizen's primary home, primary residence only. That being—. No, that, that other one is that with the borough.

This is the city one. This is— we didn't have— we haven't had it Exception. So just be within the city. Yes.

Any other questions? Got lots of questions because I don't retain very well.

Okay.

Um, Vice Mayor Askin, may I have your report? Oh, that was her. That was me. What was your first name? Victoria Smith.

Victoria. Well, I apologize, we don't have a website, so—. No, because I had Liz Kim forever. Oh. In my mind, that's Kim.

And I didn't know your last name. Oh, really? I don't know. Are there any members from the public who would like to address the commission? I have a report.

She, she will. Could you get down to Commissioner Comets and report? She gives a report from the school.

There's no remote people wanting to speak? No. If you have a comment, please leave it.

There's the next meeting attendance certification. That's October 18th.

Please note that that's the next meeting, October 18th, looking at 9 PM Madison, take less off. And for attending remotely. Am I being— Okay, this is the comments and questions. Does anyone have a comment and question? Chuparc, do you have any comment and question?

I was just wondering about the funding. You did say that whatever funding you get to approve for the high school pool, it's going to be reimbursed at the city council? It's out, yeah. How much money was that? $46,000.

$46,000? Yeah. So who is paying that instead? The state. It sounds like the state is giving the— and now we decided So what we had done, to make a long story longer, we had entered into this agreement with the Piranhas, the swim team group, because they were going to take over the pool to keep it open.

So we said we would pay the utilities so that we could keep it open for the public, for the citizens of Kenai. And then the school changed their mind and they got money to keep the school open. So then the pool opened, so then they wanted, and then they told us they're going to get the money back from the state. So we said, well, then we'll—. Because that is a 20-year funding.

Yeah, so we're covering through next year. So that will be enough. It'll be enough. I think so. Yeah.

Okay, what about you, Bill? Anything? No, ma'am. I will— yeah, this is Carolyn. This is when she speaks.

Yeah, she— yes, getting there, Carolyn. Okay, um, the fall sports have started. There's, uh, swimming. Girls and boys teams both placed first at the Hoover Invitational recently.

The cross-country running meet in Palmer last weekend, the Kenai Girls couldn't beat the SoHigh Girls team, which is a big deal because SoHigh is a pretty big rival. We also have a meet tomorrow in Seward and Homer on the 17th for cross-country running, and then the season is wrapping up pretty soon. And then varsity volleyball games. There's one on September 11th versus Palmer, on the 17th versus Kodiak, and on the 18th versus Monroe. And the football team is going to Barrow on September 12th, which is in a few days, and they're playing against Houston on the 19th, which is the homecoming game.

Yeah. The big game of the year.

We recently had our Senior Sunrise where The graduating class of 2027 came and watched the sunrise together on the football field. We listened to music, played games, and we took pictures with friends. There were donuts. That's cool. Yeah.

Student Council is working on the homecoming dance, which is on the 19th, which corresponds to the football game on the 19th. The theme is Mamma Mia, like the movie.

Next week is going to be busy. We have a spirit week, which is where each day the students dress up as a certain theme. One of the days is like wedding guest day where you dress fancy. And one of the themes is beach day where you dress like you're going to the beach. So that will be fun.

The parade will be on Friday, September 18th at 6 PM from AIH to the high school, and the community members are welcome to join. There's gonna be floats coming by, some football teams, the, all the classes, and they're gonna be throwing candy out. So, then the parade will go down Lawton from AIH. And arrive at the football field, and then the flag football game that the girls play in is gonna be happening. And then the night will end with the bonfire that we do every year.

And then our drama class is putting on a Clue musical, which is based off the murder mystery board game Clue. The show dates are November 6th through the 8th. And 13th through the 15th.

6Th through the 8th and 13th through 15th. Do you want times too? Okay. The 6th, 7th, 13th, and 14th, the show time is 7 PM. And November 18th, 15th— November 18th and 15th, it's 2 PM.

Yes, that's up in Casey Auditorium. And so that's our fall musical. And then in the spring, we're going to have another one. But yeah.

That's very strong.

Okay, so seeing there's no further business, any— for this body, we are adjourned. Okay.

Hi. I knew she was the, the, um, assistant mayor.

Okay, we're gonna have a work session now. I'd like to call September 10th, 2026 Council on Aging work session in order. Is everybody ready?

Everybody knows Kathy.

Okay, so I just wanted to just have a quick moment to, it's been, because Rachel was leaving, Gina had some vacation plans and then she was out on medical for a couple of months. So we've had a hit and miss on our goals for this year, and I thought it would be good to just go over them. And if you look in your packets under the work section— Pardon me?

Is there another packet? Yeah, you should have both of them. Oh, one is work section. Oh, it is though.

I was going to pass those back. Okay, and if you look at the number 1, we have here on— and I'm on the work session page 2 on the work session package. Objective number 1 is develop 3 opportunities for intergenerational projects, programs, and one of them was the Junior Seamoth Prom. And I think this is not something we're giving up on. We're planning, even, you know, talking about when to have that.

It seems like October is a really great time, but the kids are busy with that as well. And so does anybody have any thoughts on on that, how would it be to, you know, and Carolyn, you can't get to help us too on whether high schoolers to help us coordinate this fall and throw them together. Um, I can say that the student council would definitely help with this, but we have like events in, um, September is pretty busy. October we're doing a Halloween carnival thing and like all the Halloween things, so it might have to be earlier in October, but that's kind of really soon. And then November, we don't really have much going on.

December's Christmas time, and we do a lot during December. January and February, we don't really do much. And then other than Valentine's Day, and then March, we have prom, and then it just gets super busy in the spring. Are you on student council? Yes.

Is that something would you want to take back to them and, and say maybe that they would pick a time that would be— that they think, you know, we could— I could see us doing something in November, but we have 3 holidays in November here. We have 3 days that were closed. It was Thanksgiving, of course. And then we are, we have a lot of rentals around the holiday time and stuff, which would cause an issue for us on Friday nights and Saturday. Yeah, and I'm thinking if the student council would be, would think maybe January or February, we don't have a lot, maybe that would be something that they would be interested in.

Maybe they could talk to us about that next month. Okay, that's a very Valentine's. It be hold, you know, be holding it to like the end of January, something like that, where it's—. Yeah, that could be perfect. Um, I have talked, or I've mentioned it to the, um, the students on the— yeah, and they like, they think it's a good idea And they want to do it.

We just haven't like found a date or really done details. So, well, and so let's start with the date. Let's, let's figure out a date and that we can plan ahead on, you know, the cost and everything else. We have lots of decorations and all. We're not wanting the students to have any cost to it or, but you guys throw prom.

It's been a while since we've done it. So, you know, it would be a That sounds, sounds really good. Anybody else have any comments on? I, I find like January because about all this and it's kind of a letdown, but then you have something to look forward to and that sounds like January is one of them, I'll just put it that way.

January beginning of February. That would be good too.

Number 2 was reaching program at kindergarten level. And so I'm not sure if anybody has done anything on that one.

Yeah, I mean, what was the goal there is to reading program or something where the seniors go and read those items. Does anybody talk to— I guess to the teachers or the, the staff there? Maybe if we need that, is there anybody willing to go and talk to them? Would you like to do that? Okay, so for next meeting then, maybe Yeah.

What you— what they've said and may possibly, you know, throw out a few little ideas of dates. Do I just basically talk with the principal? Yeah. Yeah. You'll have to go to the staff room.

Right. Individual teachers. Yeah. That is— she'll be okay to go and speak to the teachers, or she might give you ideas. On who would be willing to integrate Elvis in that, you know what I mean?

And then, of course, you know, where? Classroom together.

There. And then just to get seniors that are willing to go over there and read and be like a little— could be once a week. Maybe twice a month, just up to them. And so if you could talk to them, that would be great.

See, college level students, that was another thing that we have talked about doing. I think Alaska Christian College would also be a good opportunity for that. It would need somebody getting in touch with Maybe somebody over at KPC or anybody wanna take that on?

I will, uh, who was originally working with this whole—. Was it Dale? Was it Dale? I'm gonna assign it. I don't think it's been assigned that far.

Would she—. Would you love to take it on and just maybe see about, you know, interaction of college kids coming and having lunch? And that's what we'd be looking at. Yeah. You know, just to be— if we, if we were to get, if we wanted that interaction, best place to start?

Would you go to, to the administration? This is what we're desiring. Is there a class? Or because there's usually, you know, there's classes, so somebody or a teacher that we could talk to, or a professor that we could talk to, maybe talk to us in a class and have the students come over once a month, bimonthly, and just Come and have lunch here, you know, and speak to all the seniors, then it grows. But if we don't do something, it's not going to happen.

You know what I'm saying? Get to where they can, um, would this be part of their regular school curriculum? We don't know. See, that's, I don't know about this. It's not like a curriculum.

It's more of just getting the seniors interacting with that. With that age group, if we're talking about elementary school, I would think that the seniors can just have to go—. Is that no room? College. Oh, you're all there.

Oh, okay. Yeah, I'm talking about college level.

And opening— Yeah, well, it could go both ways then. Then you can go both ways as far as talking to somebody at the college level, but also could go Yeah, definitely advertising. Okay, you know, this day, I don't know, you know, we're having, I don't know how you would put it, you know, we're having lunch and we're opening our lunches up to you. I would like to grab some of the students in here and give them bridge lessons because we're desperately looking for bridge players here. And, um, I don't know if they have clubs in the community college, in their college.

I don't either. That's maybe a question we could find out. If they have chess clubs, bridge clubs, if they have anything like that. Yeah. Yeah.

Find out if they have life after. You might find a professor or someone, you know, a teacher that's really into that, wanting to get involved in the community. And this is a good place to start, you know, with the seniors, and it also helps our seniors out and getting to know that age group.

Is there a contact person? I will find you. I'll go look around for a contact. And then like she said, also like the, uh, Houston College here.

To, oh, or if anybody knows of anybody that works at college or knows people or goes to that college. If it goes to college that you can have and say, hey, let's start this, that, that, that, that's, I mean, for groundwork and then it kind of grows from there. Yeah. Then if you see, then the senior center from the other place, say, hey, you know, we're opening up lunch on this day for No. I don't know.

It's up to you to say. Might have to pick a day that, you know, there's a lot, you know, seniors are going to be at lunch. Right? You know, sometimes there's— Or we could few. This is another idea I have that instead of, you know, having it that way, but also having bring your kids to lunch day or your Family to Lunch Day.

And having seniors bring their college-age kids, their grandkids, whatever, bring your family to lunch day, meaning, you know, then they come in and they start integrating that. I don't know if that would be something that we should do. What do you think?

I think it's a great idea. You're asking me specific. I think it's a great idea. But, so you're very fortunate that you have not just blood relatives, but like extended family, friends, family. There are a lot of seniors that come here that don't have that.

Do they have? But that's why I think we're doing it. I agree. I think, I think it would be that. Yes, so what I'm saying is that you have more than one that come in and maybe you're sharing your family with someone else at the lunch.

But if you specifically just say, you know, just to only people who have family, I think it's—. No, I don't think that you could. I think that what you guys did with the Bring a Friend to Lunch Day was well received, and it was on a day where we had a good menu. And I'd like to see that happen again. That's what I'm thinking.

Family and friends. I've never done anything in 6 months. Agree. Yeah. And sit down with people.

That's our whole purpose, right? Is to get them interacting with younger people in the community. You know, just being excited. You know, I don't know. I was involved years ago on Dr. Grandma program.

And it was, she became a grandma to kids that their grandma was outside and wasn't here. And so you became close to these kids and that could happen. Something like that too, you know, I don't know.

Something that would be, uh, because it gets them, it gets somebody responsible. For me, when I was, I was grandma. Okay, so I got to know these kids I didn't know before. Got to know the mama. She was in a broken relationship, right?

But at the same time, Grandma, they really— and we still contact each other. They're like, I'm gonna go now.

But it's just something that gets the seniors also that are alone, that don't have family. Something. Dr. Grandma or Dr. Pickery? No? So Norma's gonna contact the college.

She's gonna tell, get numbers for you. And you'll be able to find out maybe there is a group who already started with British and learned how to play British. There may be some interest. Yes, there might be. Although I doubt it.

Okay, number 2. Objective number 2, which is on the next page. And we're not going to talk long about this because I want to keep this under an hour.

Is on the objective, if you look at identify programs and activities for health and wellness. So some of this we've already done, but I want to go to number 4. If you look at number 4 on objective number 2, it looks like that. Number 4, this was number 4. Objective number 2, there you go.

Okay, and finish the book that I started. Now, Gina, and I don't want to spend a lot of time on this because Gina's not here today. She's the one that she of our found resources and put this together. I printed it off of Canva. And what I think would be good if you would take this home and you would dissect it and look at it.

And this is exactly what was— there's not any tweaking or anything to this. If we print it on Canva, it's going to— Canva's funny about that. You print it on Canva, they're gonna wanna charge us $15 a piece. So I'm gonna, we would go in and on Adobe Pro and I'll change the pictures out instead. Those are copy things.

And then I stuck the whole thing into AI, which I'm a big fan of it. So I'm sure high school students, you guys use AI much? No, a long time, much. So I put it into AI and I said, okay, how can we We, you know, there are things for whom, what, when, how. Who, what, when, and where, and how.

And so they said, and so what I'll do next month, and I had told Gina I was going to do this, that I would put it into AI and see what they came back at. And then we'll have a, in our, I'll put this on the agenda for next month in October and we'll sit and we'll talk about. The community resource and things that you would like to see change. Do you think it— what, just, just through your observations and looking this over. So that's kind of homework for the month.

It's to look at, look this thing through, make notes on it. It is a— I, I think there's things that the Senior Center provides that we could add to this, I think it would be our exercise opportunities. We've included things like going to the Nipiski pool on Thursdays. We also go to the— what is that thing called? The field house.

The field house in Slabatna on Wednesdays. And so we could add those things back into it. Shopping assistance, that sort of thing too. There's other transportation As far as independent living, getting coupons for that, and how to see a little bit of that information there. But as you read through this, make notes on it.

See what caught your eye, what didn't, and this is a raw, rough draft. So, and then next month, then we'll dive into it and, and, Regina, she'll be here. So.

Anybody have questions on that heart?

And that's all I have as far as that objective.

We did the Senior Health and Fitness Day with radio talking about wellness programs. We try, we get them on the radio every month. Ada prepares a short thing that is advertised through the whole month, the city pays for that. Have available packets for Medicare adult health assistance. As soon as we generate and get a whole bunch of packets, they're out the door.

So it's a continually populated process for Red and I to do that. Someone brought up that with Social Security here twice a month and using the people in there, a lot of those same people need Medicaid. Senior benefit applications and things. So we will, we'll work at getting quite a few. I'd rather the state copy those off for us than us.

So, and so the booklet is number 4. That's the one that would be nice to get this part done by the end of the year. And then my plan is to copy these at City Hall.

This is a commission on aging. Looking through it, it looks like it's hitting all of the major areas that we had come up with in the healthy area. So she— it was a great— that is all I have for the work session unless you have any questions for Does anybody have anything else to say?

Seeing that there's no further business before this body, we are adjourned.

And thank you for coming. Thank you. We are back here.
