Also Attending:
Paul Kierce, Chairman called the meeting to order at 8:49 am.
Minutes accepted. There is no heat in the building and we are honoring
Coral with presentation at Coffee hour so meeting will be short. We do
have a quorum.
Paul attended a meeting with TM and Paula Linhares, Town Treasurer
about putting a warrant together to stop collecting on 3 town accounts. A
committee would be formed including Treasurer and 3 residents to
disperse the accounts.
Formula Grant will be approx. $21k this year. Paul thought the best use
of the funds would be to create a position for Community Manager, a link
between the office and elders doing marketing, programs, front desk
greeter. It would be 19 hours a week paid by grant money.
It is the opinion of the board to have Nancy LaFauce as Acting Director
until the position is filled, and use grant money to find someone to fill in
as Assistant Director. A job description for both positions will be
finalized, then posted.
Letters of support for Nancy LaFauce for the Director position will come
from the board, Friends, and Social Service League.
Treasurer's Report:
We are at 50%, half way through the fiscal year and within our budget.
Van driver line item lower and newsletter and postage will balance out.
Slower month in revolving account. $1,638 expended with a balance of
$22,419. We have not been notified of any donation from the latest tax bill.
Treasurer's report accepted.
Director's Report:
Nancy LaFauce and staff are inviting all to a retirement open house on
Tuesday„ January 151h between 3-5.
