Dear Mayor,
The Senior Advisory Board voted unanimously at our meeting today, to discontinue monthly

In reviewing the goals of the Task Force, we have concluded that the major problems presented
by the seniors of this City have been resolved and we are deeply grateful to the government of this
City as well as the cooperation of the staff. '~-'.~
The present Senior Center, under the Leisure Services/Recreation department, has a very
active Advisory Board which oversees the Senior Center. We have communicated with them
and are assured that when changes are planned, we will be working with this Board and the
Staff.

satisfied that any problems which may surface, will be handled in a professional manner.
