Pubic Orals:
Edna Ford - I just want to let everyone know that when you have a problem and bring it to council, they
will do something about it. T was having trouble with the pool chair lift. The gentleman that was here earlier
Perry Brcnts said another lady complained about the same issue 1 had. They fixed the pool chair lift and
now I can go to the pool and exercise. [feel wonderful.
Percy Brown - I just want to indicate that we do have things going on at the senior center but the success of
those activities depends on the attendance here. Speaking particularly of the birthday bash and Bingo. Bingo
subsidizes the birthday bash. We can not do that forever. For us to keep activities we have to support them.
Same thing for Bingo if we don't support Bingo then there is no money to do other things.
Adjournment: Member Lorcnc Reed made a motion to adjourn, 2"d by Member Barbara Battle. By
unanimous consent the meeting adjourned at 1:30 p.m.
