LITTLE CANADA <br />PARKS AND RECREATION <br />DEPARTMENT <br />515 Little Canada Road / Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />Telephone: (612) 484 -2177 / Fax: 484 -4538 <br />JIM MORELAN, Director <br />JACK FITZGERALD, Asst. Director <br />MICHELLE DeBACE, Program Coordinator <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor & City Council <br />FROM: Jim Morelan, Parks & Recreation Director <br />DATE: May 31, 1994 <br />RE: Senior Program Expense Reimbursement & Fee Waiver <br />In 1992, the City Council eliminated the budget for senior <br />coordinator. This position had been held by Johanna Meath for <br />several years up until that time. Subsequent meetings were held <br />with Mrs. Meath to define the future of senior activities at the <br />City level. These meetings were attended by myself, Joel Hanson, <br />and Bev Scalze. (Although not all of the approximately three <br />meetings were attended by all three of us each time.) During one <br />or more of these meetings, Mrs. Meath requested that she be <br />allowed to continue to use some of the City's equipment and <br />supplies such as the copier, paper, tape, mailing labels, etc., <br />to facilitate the occasional disbursement of information to the <br />North Suburban Senior Chorus and the 55 Plus Club. She has <br />continued to do this since that time via agreement reached at <br />those meetings. <br />Along with these items, Johanna has continued to assist me in <br />disbursing other information to seniors via the St. John's Church <br />bulletin, Golden Retriever newsletter, 55 Plus newsletter, and <br />through her other numerous personal contacts with the area's <br />senior population. Such information included driver refresher <br />classes, senior exercise program, line dancing, square dancing, <br />and other publicity regarding offerings of programs to seniors <br />through the Parks and Recreation Department. In doing these <br />things, Johanna has turned in expense reimbursement requests to <br />the City for such items as miscellaneous envelopes, typewriter <br />supplies, and mileage. <br />These expenses for the entire year of 1993 averaged less than $12 <br />per month for mileage and just over $17 for supplies for a total <br />of $352 for the year. She is not compensated for any of her <br />time. <br />While some of these expense reimbursements entail her involvement <br />with other senior organizations and are not entirely City <br />sponsored expenses, I feel the benefit the City receives from her <br />Page 13 <br />
