during the bi-monthly Friday lunches will keep the general membership informed.
Special meetings of the general membership will be called as needed in
accordance with Section V, Subsection 5 of the Bylaws.

seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous. A three member committee
consisting of Jim Moore, Marion Jenkins and Patrecia Fox was appointed to
assist Monica Walsh, Renee Garrett and Mona Gandy with plans for this
opening.
6. Discussion and possible future action on potential new programs
After a discussion of potential new programs the committee decided programs
would be in accordance with the wishes of the Center participants. New
programs implemented at their request will allow the Center to reflect the interest
of the general membership.
City Manager William Lindley suggested that all seniors be encouraged to carry
on their person at all times a personal identification card. The City could furnish
the blank card and the fire department would be requested to laminate the card
after the senior filled in their information.
7. Discussion on items of interest for potential future action
Patrecia Fox stated she would like to see the Colleyville Senior Center upgraded
to a full time facility under the management of a senior citizens director. William
Lindley, City Manager, stated that the Parks and Recreation Department will be
keeping records of the usage of the Center to determine if a full time facility is
warranted. The City will begin budget considerations in May 2007 and the needs
of the Center should be presented to the City at that time.
