Motion carried on a vote of 6/0. Felling/Mitchell.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA:
COMMISSION ASSIGNMENTS:
Honohan will attend a November City Council meeting.
STEERING COUNCIL REPORT DISCUSSION:
Honohan expressed his appreciation for receiving the draft minutes from the
September Steering Council meeting in the commission packet.
Preliminary Minutes
October 2013
DISCUSSION ON DEVELOPING REGULATIONS FOR SERVING ALCOHOL
AT SENIOR CENTER EVENTS:
The commission discussed various options for how to structure alcohol rentals.
Options include allowing rentals to serve alcohol only if served by a caterer,
allowing renters to serve alcohol without a caterer, requiring security at events,
and allowing use of the kitchen. Kopping expressed concern over rentals using
the kitchen or for larger events due to time constraints created by the meal
program.
DISCUSSION OF SUMMER 2013 SURVEY RESULTS:
Kopping stated she would like representatives from the commission and steering
council working to form a committee to review the survey results and develop
specific action steps. Commissioners Felling, Honohan and Holbrook agreed to
serve on the survey committee.
The survey results showing a minority of Senior Center participants are low
income was discussed. Kopping indicated this was of great concern to her and
she believes steps need to be taken to find out how The Center can better serve
low income seniors.
The commission discussed other survey findings including a desire for more
evening and weekend programs and the remarkably high rate of satisfaction
among current participants.
Motion: To accept the 2013 survey results. Motion carried on a vote of 6/0.
Holbrook/Mitchell
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW:
Kopping has been working on the FY15 budget. Funding for a professional,
comprehensive survey of the needs and interests of low-income and minority
adults has been submitted. Kopping is seeking a partnership with another aging
service provider who might be interested in the outcomes a survey of this sort is
likely to produce.
A request was made for a part time temporary employee to provide fitness and
other classes in neighborhood locations targeting low-income and minority
seniors. The temporary employee would be responsible for coordinating and
partnering with other area organizations to better serve low income participants.
Preliminary Minutes
October 2013
Many of the spaces in the Senior Center are in need of updates. The wallpaper,
paint, flooring covering and window treatments are 20-30 years old on the
second floor and mezzanine and a couple of areas on the first floor. In total this
is a large project that will be divided into multiple fiscal years.
In FY15 (this year) funding for a design team to put together an overall, multi-
year design plan is available. For the FY16 budget, requests have been
submitted to move forward with these plans and paint and re -floor room 103 and
remove wallpaper, skim -coat and paint rooms 205 and 210. These two rooms
are a "test' to evaluate the condition of the underlying plaster and determine if
skim -coating and painting will work. If the underlying plaster has deteriorated
beyond the point of skim -coating, we will need to return to the use of the more
expensive option --wallpaper.
Audio visual upgrades for rooms 202 and 208 have been included in the FY16
budget request with funding coming out of the gift fund. The gift fund currently
has about $32,000 in it and these audio visual upgrades will cost about $16,000.
A request for new classroom tables has been submitted. Pending approval,
funding for this purchase of approximately $13,000, will come from Friends of
The Center.
Kopping pointed out that the Gift fund is rarely used for donations because they
are either given directly to Friends of the Center or to the operational budget.
There is very little, if any, activity in the Gift Fund.
Motion: To authorize the use of the gift fund for AV upgrades. Motion
carried on a vote of 5/0. Hanson/Holbrook
STAFF REPORTS:
Buhman reported that the Mac and Cheese fundraiser was on October 4th. The
fundraiser made $1900 and served 115 people. The number of people attending
this event has gone down each year and Buhman indicated that she was looking
into other fundraising opportunities. Buhman noted that the last gallery walk was
very successful. She indicated she is already scheduling programs for spring.
Kopping reported that the Johnson County grant proposal is due on November
15t . She is still working on the final details and trying to identify an equitable
funding request.
COMMISSION DISCUSSION:
Preliminary Minutes
October 2013
Felling and Holbrook will serve as a nominating committee for the vice chair spot
that is currently open.
ADJOURNMENT:
Motion: To Adjourn. Motion carried on a vote of 5/0. Holbrook/mitchell.

IOWA CITY/JOHNSON COUNTY SENIOR CENTER
Memorandum
To: Senior Center Commission
From: Emily Light, Community Outreach Specialist
Date: December 17, 2013
Community Outreach Committee
The committee last met on December 11, 2013. At this meeting members discussed committee
goals for 2014. The committee will not meet in January, but will finalize 2014 goals at the
February meeting. Recent committee outreach engagements include a presentation to the
Johnson County Elderly Consortium (a monthly meeting of service providers in the local aging
network) and staffing a Senior Center information table at the ACT Wellness and Benefits Fair.
Monthly articles submitted to the Press Citizen by Senior Center members continue to be
published. Additionally, a reporter from The Gazette wrote a positive article about The Center's
Gay -Straight Alliance Movie Series earlier this month (see attached).
Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP)
Welcome to Medicare Seminars
In 2013, our SHIIP counselors provided eight Welcome to Medicare seminars at The Center, a
2-hour class that provides a thorough introduction to the Medicare program. Six of these were
led by Gary Schwartz, and two were led by Erin Droll. A total of 201 community members
attended the Welcome to Medicare seminars this year. The class is offered in the evening, and
many of the attendees are non-members who are visiting The Center for the first time. SHIIP
counselors intend to continue offering 8-10 Welcome to Medicare seminars per year. The next
one is scheduled for January 30, 2014.
Medicare Open Enrollment Period for 2014
During this year's Medicare Open Enrollment Period (October 15 — December 7, 2013), SHIIP
counselors provided 212 appointments at The Center to assist seniors with drug plan and
Medicare Advantage plan comparisons. Additional clients were served by our SHIIP counselors
performing comparisons by phone and through off -site visits. Please thank our SHIIP counselors
for their hard work and dedication next time you see them. They are: Elsie Foerstner, Gary
Schwartz, Del Long, Jo Hensch, Bob Lower, and Erin Droll.

Honoring Your Wishes
In 2013, The Center's 8 certified Advance Care Planning facilitators provided 138 facilitated
discussions on individual wishes for medical care at the end of life. Facilitators include Dianne
Day, Martha Lubaroff, Merce Bern-Klug, Alexa Romans, Sarah Pederson, Clancy Vinchattle, Jane
Dohrmann, and Emily Light. The facilitators offered 11 informational programs on Advance Care
Planning this year, and 89 participants attended. Participants in facilitated discussions
completed 71 satisfaction surveys, and 95% of participants indicated a high level of satisfaction
with advance care planning services at The Center.
Participant Comments from Satisfaction Surveys:
Helpful information. Realistic about knowing or not knowing the answers to my questions.
Listened to my thought process and helped me make some tough decisions :)
My facilitator was very kind and easy to talk to. She went through the information very clearly
and made sure that 1 understood everything. 1 am very happy that I came.
Amazing service, my facilitator helped me explore my wishes and was very sensitive and
understanding of what 1 wanted! Could not have gone better!
A very well designed process. Very helpful to have a trained facilitator! Thank you!
1 am happy I had the chance to do this. 1 think everyone should have an advance directive no
matter the age.
2013 Outstanding Volunteer Award
At the Volunteer Recognition Dinner on November 7, Jay Honohan was awarded The Center's
2013 Outstanding Volunteer Award. Jay is the longest serving Commissioner in the history of
The Center. He was appointed in December 1998 and has served continuously ever since.
As a member of the Commission he has annually approached the City Council to request
additional staff and facility improvements. He also has supported expanded member access on
evenings and weekends. Jay was instrumental in advocating, planning, and fundraising for the
skywalk to the Tower Place parking ramp. When funding from the county was significantly
reduced in 2003, Jay led the Commission in the implementation of membership fees and the
low-income discount program. While controversial at the time, the introduction of participant
cost sharing programs helped keep The Center financially sustainable. Jay led the creation
Friends of The Center, and helped establish The Center's Endowment and Charitable Giving
accounts with the Community Foundation of Johnson County, which now provides significant
revenue to The Center's annual operating budget. Jays tireless efforts as a dedicated volunteer
will have a major and lasting impact on the Senior Center. Thank you, Jay!

When Elsie Gauley Vega was growing up on farm north of Sheffield in the 1930s and '40s, she
knew she was different from many of her peers, but she didn't have a word for why. Except for a
single clandestine high school relationship with another girl, she didn't have anyone to talk to
about the fact that she was attracted to women instead of men.
She married a man,
with whom she had four
children, but eventually
divorced him because
she felt she wasn't
being fair to either of
them.
Now 85-years-old,
she's spent the last
several years making
up for those years of
silence. Gauley Vega
has become a vocal
activist for lesbian, gay,
bisexual and
transgender people.
She broke up with a
partner because the
other woman wanted to
keep their relationship

apartment. (Alison Gowanslrhe Gazette)

So after moving to Iowa Wah Filter
City, Gauley Vega
started a LGBT movie series at the Iowa City/Johnson County Senior Center about three years
ago. She also hosts a public access television show, "Neighbors and Friends" through the
senior center. The show, which airs about once a month, features interviews with local clergy
and community members about LGBT-related topics.
Being an openly lesbian senior citizen carries unique challenges. Emily Light, community
outreach specialist at the senior center, said It is common for LGBT people who had been living
openly to go back into the closet as they age. Many fear of discrimination from service
providers, she said. That's one reason the senior center prominently displays the movie series
in Its programming guide.
"It's really important to us that people know the Senior Center is open and welcoming to all,"
Light said. "We hope this sends that message."
It sent that message to Larry Rogers, 70, a gay man who took over the movie series from
Gauley Vega about two years ago after she had a health scare. He had been living in
Minneapolis and was considering moving to Iowa to be closer to family. But he wasn't sure he
would be accepted if he left the city. Reading about the movie series convinced him to give Iowa
City a chance.
"We need exposure," he said. "A lot of gay people have felt there's no place for them."
He said he knows gay couples who weren't allowed to be together when they moved into
nursing homes. Others spent their whole lives hiding who they were or faced persecution when
they tried to come out.
Gauley Vega said she sees much greater acceptance among young people than within older
generations. A 2013 Pew Research poll found 36 percent of respondents born before 1945
favored gay marriage, compared with 66 percent of respondents born after 1981.
Gauley Vega and Rogers both live in Ecumenical Towers, an apartment building next to the
senior center, which is reserved for people over age 62.
"There are several people in the building who don't approve," she said. "But that's their
problem."
It just means her work isn't done yet.
If you go:
• What: Gay -Straight Alliance Movie Series
• Where: Room 208, Johnson County/Iowa City Senior Center, 28 S. Linn St., Iowa City
• When: Sundays at 1 p.m.
• Cost: Free and open to all.
Throughout December, in honor of World AIDS Day, the series will focus on HIV/AIDS. A full
schedule of upcoming movies can be found in the senior center's guide, available online and at
the center.

Memorandum
To: Senior Center Commission
From: Michelle Buhman, Program Specialist
Re: Program Report
Date: Dec. 18, 2013
Program Update:
Tom Pickering suggested creating a program called We All Have a Story To Tell. Seven
interested community members meet to discuss various ways to record individual stories and
how the group could create something unique at the Senior Center. The group discussed ways in
which Senior Center Television and Iowa City Hospice have been recording stories as well as the
well-known program on NPR, Story Corps. Participants were asked to think about the ideas
discussed at the meeting as well as other ideas to record personal stories and bring their ideas
back to the group at the next meeting, Jan 8, 2014
The project connected the Peter Feldstein photographs of Senior Center members is moving
forward. The Images project will include an art show of the images in the Old Post Office
Gallery (Assembly Room) during the spring 2014 Gallery Walk., a video presentation featuring
the subjects in the photographs, an open house and reception and a guest speaker, Colin Milner.
Colin Milner is scheduled to be at the Senior Center on March 25. We are still putting together
his itinerary; however we will be sure to make the most of this visit. For your information I have
included his bio: Colin Milner is an award -winning author, public speaker, and leading expert on
the health and wellbeing of the older adult. For the past four years, The World Economic Forum
has invited him to serve on its Network of Global Agenda Councils, recognizing Milner as one
of "the most innovative and influential minds" in the world on aging -related topics. An author of
more than 250 articles on aging related issues, Milner has delivered speeches to thousands of
business and governmental leaders, industry professionals, and older adults throughout the
world. Some of the agencies and initiatives that have sought his advice include the US
Department of Health and Human Services, US Administration on Aging; 2010 Vancouver
Olympic Committee; and White House Conference on Aging.
Milner's efforts have inspired a broad spectrum of leading -edge publications, television networks
and radio stations to seek his insights. Among these outlets are: Wall Street Journal, Chicago
Tribune, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The National Post, Globe and Mail, CNN, CBC
Radio, AARP, Newsweek, Parade Magazine, and Dow Jones Market Watch.

The Program Committee meeting for December was cancelled due to a lack of a quorum.
However, committee members have been submitting program proposals and suggestions for
Spring 2014. The complete list of programs will be submitted to Linda Kopping on January 6,
2014 for inclusion in the next Program Guide.
The current director of the Linn Street Band, Erin Wehr, announced unexpectedly that she was
moving the Linn Street Band to West Music in January. I met with Wehr and invited her to
reconsider, however we were not able to come up with a satisfactory agreement. I informed
Wehr that she was welcome to start her own adult band at West Music and that I would conduct
a search for a new Linn Street Band director immediately.
Visibility Action Team
The Visibility Action Team had a very productive meeting December 10, 2013. Several new
volunteers and community partners attended the meeting and agreed to join the effort in creating
a SAGE affiliate in Johnson County. The SAGE organization is making some structural changes
to the SAGE affiliate process and is currently not accepting new applicants. The VAT will
continue to create a work -plan at the local level and submit a letter of intent to apply as an
affiliate in Jun 2014.
