7. Discussion of Senior Center Wish List
Monica Walsh, Director of Parks and Recreation, gave an overview of staff
research on the following five items designated by the Senior Center Advisory
Committee as the top priorities.
1) HV AC for the entire facility: There are eleven units at the Senior Center. An
HVAC representative gave an estimate of between $8,000 and $10,000 per unit
to replace the remaining 10 units.
2) Lighting in large room: An electrician proposed sixteen (16) fluorescent 4
lamp wrap-arounds with two switches for an estimated cost of $5,000.
Councilman Mike Taylor suggested trying fluorescent lightbulbs.
3) Acoustical in large room: An acoustical engineer would need to conduct an
acoustical investigation and from that investigation provide a written report that
would suggest the materials needed, placement of the materials and estimate the
cost of the project. His cost for the report would be $5,000.
4) More outside lights: It was recommended that a 35 foot pole with three (3)
lights be installed that would completely illuminate the front of the building and
the parking lot. The cost is estimated to be about $8,000.
5) Window treatments for entire facility. It is estimated that it would take $1,600
for window treatments for the rest of the facility.
The Senior Center Advisory Committee recommended that staff move forward
with the top five priorities. Connie Hampton, Chair, requested that the Senior
Center Wish List be on the agenda for the February meeting.
8. Discussion and Possible Future Action on Potential New Programs
There was no discussion of potential new programs.
9. Discussion on Items of Interest for Potential Future Action

members know of someone who would like to be a member of the Social
Committee, let Connie Hampton know.
