None.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM THE SEPTEMBER 15, 2022 MEETING:
Motion: To accept the minutes from the September 15, 2022. Motion carried
on a vote of 5/0. Vaughan/Vogal
PUBLIC DISCUSSION:
None.
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW:
DeLoach reported the feedback from the new logo and rebrand has been
positive. The commission discussed putting the word senior back into the Iowa
City Senior Center's name. She noted that she and staff felt it was both important
to include the location since it is where we are located (but not limiting to who the
Senior Center serves) and to be descriptive. She also noted that many people
have thought that "The Center" was not descriptive enough. This change clears
up any ambiguity.
DeLoach noted the ongoing work in Senior Center programming related to
diversity, equity, and inclusion. Recently she has looked at offsetting cost for
programming to low-income members to make it easier for people to participate
in classes that might have associated costs for materials. DeLoach noted that
