MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />FEBRUARY 12, 1992 <br />Bidne was asked how many names are on the list of <br />possible tenants. Bidne reported that there are <br />currently 150 names on the list. Bidne explained that <br />often times an individual will place their name on the <br />list, but may not be ready to make the move into senior <br />housing for 7 or 8 years from now. Bidne pointed out <br />that the proposal is for a 92 unit building, however, <br />if the need is there, the City may be willing to work <br />with the developer and increase the number of units <br />slightly. <br />A member of the audience reported that there are <br />currently a lot of seniors from outside Little Canada <br />residinq in the City's existing senior building. It <br />was suggested that Little Canada residents be given top <br />priority for occupancy of the new building. <br />Bidne pointed out that the waiting list the City is <br />compiling gives every opportunity for Little Canada <br />residents to occupy the new building. <br />Bidne was asked how many floors the building would <br />have. Bidne replied that there are 92 units proposed <br />with underqround parking. The building would have <br />three floors with one and two bedroom units scattered <br />throughout the building. There would also be two <br />elevators, which would be centrally located. The <br />building would be sprinkled and secured. <br />Bidne again suggested the organization of senior focus <br />groups to begin planning the units and amenities. <br />Bidne suggested morning or afternoon meetings, and <br />reported that he would notify seniors of the meeting <br />schedule. <br />Roy Nadeau asked about meals. <br />Bidne replied that plans are to have optional meals <br />brought in from nearby restaurants rather than have an <br />in-house meal program. Bidne reported that plans are <br />for an independent living program. However, as the <br />residents age in place and would like more services, <br />these could be added for purchase by residents as they <br />wish. <br />Bidne was asked if the building would have decks and a <br />recreation room. Bidne replied that individual decks <br />are not planned for the units, however, there would be <br />a common deck. There would be a recreation room. <br />It was suggested that Bidne work with Johanna Meath on <br />scheduling of the focus sessions. <br />Page 6 <br />
