VISITORS: CHARLES KNAPP, representing the Board of the Tri Cities Senior Citizens Program, addressed the Council and asked if they had made any decisions in their budget regarding the Senior Citizens Program due to recent publicity. Mayor Carter stated -that the City Council was looking for every visible means of balancing the budget and further reminded Mr. Knapp that the Council hadn't seen a copy of the Senior Citizens Budget which should have been submitted this summer and not at this late date. Mr. Knapp reiterated that a Budget had been submitted to the City, and proceeded to enlighten the Council of the many problems that face senior citizens. It was his firm opinion, and also that of State officials, that it took trained personnel to organize and manage such a program efficiently. He cited the need for paint to rennovate the center, flu shots for people in the $50 - $70 per month income bracket, moral support as well as monetary grants. Mrs. Louise Vaught, favored continued support of the Center as a means of con- veying to the elderly that they were wanted, and in return, the senior citizen felt he was contributing something to their community. Several points were brought out by the Council in answer to Mr. Knapp; namely, 1. They had never seen a breakdown of Senior Citizens expenditures. 2. Was there a need for the number of trained personnel employed by the Senior Citizens. 3. At the beginning of this program, (approximately 3 -years ago), it was set up by State Agencies on a 90/10 In -Kind formula; whereby the City of Pasco assisted through their Recreation Department. Now the State is gradually easing out of the Program, thus placing a serious financial burden on the cities. Mayor Carter thanked Mr. Knapp and Mrs. Vaught for their presentation and assured them that a letter would be written to the Health Department concerning flu shots for the aged, and further consideration would be given to their request for con- tinued monetary grants from the City of Pasco.
