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.
