hired for the position. She did not know how long the hiring process will take but
noted that given the amount of lead time available that she would think around 2
months. She stated that normally when a position becomes vacant city
management will determine if any changes need to occur to the job description or
organizational structure. Kopping is working with the city managers office on
updating the job description. Monroe noted that she does not anticipate any
organizational changes. City management will identify the strengths of The
Center and what is important to membership. She stated that the city manager’s
office and Human recourses would take recommendations as to where to post
the job opening. She also said that while the job description is ridge in its format
that sometimes the City will have a more inclusive job brochure with pictures and
more descriptions of the community the position will serve. She also noted that
sometimes there will be a meet and greet of prospective candidates.
Reese expressed a desire to have a chance to meet prospective candidates.
Bowne noted that a feeling of continuity is important and that he hoped the job
search would not go on for an extended period. Dorfman inquired about the need
to hire a candidate who is experienced with the unique population of participants
at the Senior Center. Monroe replied that it would be important to hire someone
with these specific qualifications. Mitchell would like to have a brief survey given
to commissioners by city management to express what qualifications they think
are important in a coordinator.
There was discussion of how the Senior Center has changed over the time that
Kopping has been the Coordinator. Kopping stated when she started activities
were more sedentary, the nutrition program was much more popular, volunteer
actives were much different (like the greeter program and volunteer secretaries)
and the building housed many social service agencies. During her time here the
population has changed to being multigenerational (even within Senior Center
members), classes and activities have become more robust and follow what
participants have expressed desire to be involved with, and many of t he social
service agencies have moved to other independent locations.
Commissioners expressed a desire to continue to be involved as the succession
planning continues.
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW:
Kopping reported that she is continuing to work on policies and procedures. She
is currently on the final part of section 12. This is the final section and it includes
emergency procedures, which she will need to totally revamp. She will send out
section 12 to commissioners when finished. Mitchell volunteered to look at
sections 10 and 11 which also need reviewed.

Friends of the Center is still pulling together a board. Kopping noted that Buhman
has expressed interest in helping with this and is moving forward on this task.
The painting project is moving along quickly and it is anticipated it will be finished
next week. During the project original shelving needed to be moved from room
211. While being moved it fell apart. Staff is working with purchasing to get new
storage cabinets in that space.
Michelle Buhman is working on getting estimates for a tcoil hearing loop for the
assembly room. This would help hearing impaired participants. A purchase of
replacement exterior lights for the north and south sides of the building is moving
forward.
Tax season is in full swing, appointments are booked out into mid-March. Emily
Edrington has been working with many new student volunteers who will be
volunteering as tech help, game room and quilting volunteers. Emily and Michelle
are working on pulling the summer program guide classes together.
There will be an intergenerational team trivia night on February 22nd.
Staff has been putting together a membership retention plan that includes adding
more newcomers orientations, additional newcomers breakfasts, surveys of
lapsed members and reaching out to new members to find out how the Senor
Center could better assist them in becoming involved. The information gathered
from new members will be used to create an infographic that will be given to new
members when they join.

following rules apply:
1. The City will have a designee present for the duration of the event. Said designee is
authorized to take action on behalf of the City.
2. A damage deposit shall be required for each event, as set by the City, or designee. The
Permittee shall be personally responsible for any and all damages caused by Permittee
or any guests, including those damages not covered by the damage deposit.
3. The Permittee must be 21 years of age or older, and provide proof thereof via a
government-issued photo I.D. upon request.
4. No person under the legal drinking age may possess or consume alcohol ic beverages at
The Center.
5. All alcoholic beverages must be consumed in the Assembly Room or first floor lobby. No
possession or consumption of alcohol is allowed anywhere else on City property.
6. The Center, or its designee, reserves the right to cut any guest off from further
possession or consumption of alcohol, should their behavior, in the opinion of the City
or designee, warrant it. Failure to act responsibly and maintain self-discipline may result
in removal of the individual from the premises, legal intervention, or termination of the
event.
7. No liquor shall be permitted. Permittees may bring their own wine or beer only if
catering services are not utilized. If catering services are utilized, any and all wine and
beer possessed or consumed must be provided by the caterer.
8. Wine and beer (not liquor) may be sold through a cash bar only if said sales are
conducted by a caterer or other provider fully licensed to do so, and only if the license(s)
and proof of insurance are placed on file with the Senior Center Coordinator or designee

event will be terminated immediately, and law enforcement notified.

claims related in any way whatsoever to the Permittee or any of Permittee’s guests
