DISCUSSION OF SENIOR CENTER EVALUATION SUBCOMMITTEE PROCESS AND
TIMELINE:
Younker stated that he wanted to revisit this topic and perhaps give some shape to this
subcommittee. Looking at the timeline for this subcommittee, Younker noted that the goal is to
have a tentative draft of the Senior Center report by the August 4 meeting, with public comment
by the August 18 meeting. He asked for input from the members of this subcommittee. Webber
noted that he has not spoken with the other members yet, but that he did speak with
Coordinator Linda Kopping at the Senior Center. He stated that the question he asked Kopping
was, "Are we being redundant?" He added that he has not heard back from Kopping yet, but he
assumes that she is compiling a report for the subcommittee. This report would consist of what
the Senior Center does as far as services and programs provided, and how they use the funds
that are disbursed to them. Younker stated that one of the tasks of this committee is to evaluate
the Senior Center, which is why they created the subcommittee. He added that this
subcommittee will need to actually evaluate the Senior Center themselves, using information
provided — such as Kopping's possible report — and the subcommittee's own findings as well.
Honohan noted that as a first step in this process he has asked Kopping to give them a short
history of the Senior Center. He has also asked the Senior Center for the report from the
PAGE 3
Ad Hoc Senior Services Committee
July 7, 2014
Page 2
accreditation committee. Honohan stated that he has also emailed to the other subcommittee
members a set of suggestions, both pro and con, of items that have come up at previous
meetings for their review. As for the subcommittee's timeline, Honohan stated that he believes
the first week in August is too ambitious for this part of their work. He would like to aim for the
August 18 meeting instead.
Younkers asked if the subcommittee could report back at the next meeting with some
suggestions and guidance on what form the evaluation should take. Webber asked for some
clarification on this. Dohrmann stated that she sees this as pulling together all of the information
heard and received so far, such as a bulleted list. The subcommittee might highlight some of
the themes that stand out in this information and also give some recommendations for the rest
of the group to consider. Webber noted that in their most recent meeting packet, they received
an in-depth report regarding senior centers across the nation. In this report, Webber noted that
recommendations include expansion, inclusiveness of other age groups, etc., much of what is
already being addressed locally. He added that he is not hearing negative comments about the
Senior Center.
Dobyns stated that this would be a good time to ask a question of the Committee, one that he
has asked himself. He spoke briefly to the fact that the Council is struggling with a budget
crunch and therefore are looking at every possible angle to fund programs. He noted that there
are many agencies in the community that provide excellent services for seniors and spoke
briefly to the various funding streams used by these entities. Dobyns also spoke to the
possibility of a local option sales tax (LOST) to help with some of the City's funding shortfalls.
Dobyns questioned if — there is X amount that needs to be done for seniors — how should that
be apportioned?
Dobyns noted that the voices they are hearing are from those who stand to lose their funding.
Thus, the Senior Center is being represented by a fairly large number of people at this point.
Dobyns stated that he would ask the subcommittees that they think of the ultimate goal — how to
apportion what they have. They will have to make some tough decisions, according to Dobyns,
and need to look critically at everything. Honohan noted that the information he sent to the
other subcommittee members is bulleted, one of which is about budgets. Honohan then
responded to Dobyns' comments, noting that he will be asking these hard questions of the
Shelter House as he works through his review of them.
Younker stated that he would suggest this subcommittee meet between now and the next
meeting, share their bullet points that they intend to bring to the Committee, and give some idea
of what format the report will take for the Senior Center. This can then be discussed at the full
Committee level before public comment is taken. He asked that the subcommittee present a
proposed timeline at the next meeting, as well. Bern -Klug noted that there appears to be two
issues at hand and she questioned if the subcommittee can handle both. One refers to the
City's funding of the Senior Center and whether they are getting their money's worth, and
secondly, is this how the City should be spending their money. She added that she is not sure
that these questions should be answered by a committee, that these are City Council questions.
Bern -Klug also noted that the Senior Center is part of the City, whereas these other agencies
that provide services are not. They are non -profits that can get funds from several funding
sources, whereas the Senior Center cannot. She added that an even bigger consideration is
what does the City want as its role in funding services — Does it want to be a provider? Does it
want to be a funder? Does it want to take money away from what it is already doing and put it
elsewhere? Younker agreed that these are big issues, but that this is one of the charges given
PAGE 4
Ad Hoc Senior Services Committee
July 7, 2014
Page 3
by the Council — to make recommendations on how the City should use current financial and
physical resources to meet the needs of seniors. He further explained what their charge entails,
such as reviewing the Senior Center and looking at what it does. The second charge is to be in
a position to provide some recommendations to the City Council about how resources should be
used.
Dohrmann and Younker both spoke to how the subcommittee has been set up to tackle part of
this charge — evaluating the Senior Center. The Committee as a whole will review the
information that is gathered, both from the subcommittee and from individual members as they
work through gathering information from other service providers in the community. Dobyns
stated that he would also recommend to the subcommittee that they look at the Senior Center
itself in terms of uses for the current building. Bern -Klug responded that she does not believe
that to be part of their charge, not as she understands it. She added that their charge is to look
at services for seniors in the community — how can the City help with these services. She does
not believe the use of a building to be part of their charge. Dobyns responded to Bern-Klug's
concern, noting that when it comes to services the City can either contract them out or provide
them themselves. He continued, noting that the Senior Center is indeed part of the City
currently, but he asked if it has to be this way. Dobyns asked what is best for seniors — is it to
have an alternate site? He noted that the Senior Center is not just a place — it is people, it is
operations, it is programs. All of this is what this Committee is being asked to look at.
Cannon noted that what she is hearing, especially at the last meeting, is the overwhelming
emotional connection to the place by those that are very interested in keeping the Senior Center
as it is now. To many of these people, the Senior Center is a second home for them. Weighing
the emotional and social benefit, to Cannon, is just as important as the actual programs
provided by the Center. Webber agreed, noting that what he is hearing is that people make
connections with others, and it has nothing to do with the programs offered. He noted the
comment made by the woman who called herself a 'hermit,' and how instructive that was in that
she made the decision to make some social connections by going to the Senior Center.
Webber asked where else in this city can people, especially seniors, meet like this and make
those social connections that are so important. Younker urged the subcommittee, again, to
meet before the next full Committee meeting so that they can move forward with this portion.
Bern -Klug suggested they meet on July 14 at 4:00 P.M. and the other members of the
subcommittee agreed.
DISCUSSION OF METHOD FOR CONTACT MEMBERS GATHERING INFORMATION
ABOUT LOCAL AGENCIES / CONSORTIA:
Younker stated that he wanted to revisit this section to see if Members had any questions. He
reiterated what was previously discussed as far as the information needed from the various
service providers in the community. Bern -Klug asked if the expectation is an oral report or a
written report. Younker asked what the Committee would prefer, and Honohan responded that
he would prefer a written report. Honohan added that he believes it will be important to obtain
the budgets and funding sources for these agencies. Dohrmann then reviewed the list of what
is being requested from community agencies, suggesting they add 'budget' to this list; obtain
summary of senior services provided; ask the organization to identify gaps in the services
available to seniors; solicit additional input from the group about their recommendations for
senior services; budget and funding sources; and asking if they provide any services at the
Senior Center, and why or why not. She proposed they use this as a template then for the
written summaries.

REPORT FROM CONTACT MEMBERS RE: LOCAL AGENCIES / CONSORTIA:
Cannon stated that she contacted Livable Community and Heritage Agency on Aging (HAA),
and distributed a preliminary report at the meeting. She explained how she gathered her
information, first by visiting web sites, and the database that she created for their use as they
continue to gather data on other providers. Speaking to a condensed version of her report,
Cannon stated that there are 91 providers of senior services in Iowa City; 18 in Coralville. Of
these, 23 are governmental, 30 are for-profit, and 56 are non-profit. Cannon continued to share
the information from her report, further explaining how she laid out the information about the 109
providers. She noted that much of this information came from Livable Community and that she
was then able to tailor the database for their use. Cannon then noted that she did not get much
information on Heritage Area on Aging. This agency is one that receives federal funding. They
are located in Cedar Rapids, and Cannon plans on making personal contact with them in order
to get more information. One notable thing about HAA, according to Cannon, is they provide for
a seven -county area. Of these counties, 52% of the service recipients reside in Johnson and
Linn County. Honohan moved to accept the reports from Cannon on HAA and Livable
Community, seconded by Dohrmann. Motion carried 7-0.
Dohrmann reported that she had minimal contact with Elder Services and the Consultation of
Religious Communities (CRC). The CRC does not meet as a consortium until August 21,
according to Dohrmann. She has asked to be placed on the agenda for that meeting. As for
Elder Services, Dohrmann is attempting to set up a meeting with the director and will follow up
on this. She added that the director was very appreciative of the Committee for reaching out to
Elder Services.
Younker asked Honohan if he had anything further to report, and Honohan noted that he did not
as he and the director were unable to set up a time to meet. He then asked Bern -Klug about
Pathways. She noted that she did contact Jeff Kellbach and they spoke briefly about what she
is looking for. Bern -Klug added that she has an appointment to call Kellbach back next week.
She noted that Kellbach told her that it was typical of them to not receive the full amount of
funds requested. This service has been around for decades, according to Bern -Klug, and is the
only agency providing these services.
Younker asked if there was any further discussion about the reports received. Bern -Klug stated
that now that they know there are 109 providers of senior services that perhaps them reviewing
six is not enough. She suggested they also look at the V.A. Members began discussing some
of these providers, with Bern -Klug asking again if they need to include more agencies in their
review. Younker suggested they review the list provided by Cannon prior to the next meeting, at
which time they can discuss possibly adding some agencies for review. Cannon suggested
they focus on the governmental agencies. Dobyns asked why she suggests this, and Cannon
responded that these are the agencies that receive public monies. Cannon suggested that she
bring the database to the next meeting so they can look up this information more easily and
perhaps find some answers that way. Fruin spoke to this briefly, noting that they typically focus
on non -profits. After a brief discussion, it was decided that Cannon's database will be a late
handout to this meeting, and she will get this information to Karr as soon as possible for
distribution to Members.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION (ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA):
PAGE 6
Ad Hoc Senior Services Committee
July 7, 2014
Page 5
Kathy Mitchell, Senior Center Commissioner and Steering Council Member, noted she is quite
upset with what she has heard, that it was insinuated that the 80 -plus people who attended the
June 23 meeting were in 'lock -step' together. She stated that these people are terrified of losing
the Center and everything it is to them. She added that many have never spoken in public and
were terrified to do so. Mitchell stated that personally she is offended by what she feels was
implied by the Committee's comments.
Mary Gravitt of Iowa City addressed the Committee next, stating that she agrees with Mitchell's
comments. She then played an audio recording of a January 22, 2013, Council meeting where
an individual spoke about the SEATS funding issue and how important this service is. In this
recording, Mayor Hayek asks Assistant City Manager Fruin for an update on this program, to
which he responds. This all took place after the County decided to no longer fund this service,
and Fruin explained to the Council how they are working with the Transit Director on how to best
proceed with taking over this service. Gravitt noted that the reason she played this recording is
to ask the question why does SEATS not have an Ad Hoc Committee when the Center does.
She responded that this is because the Senior Center intends to fight back, and therefore an Ad
Hoc Committee was formed. Gravitt spoke to the SEATS issue, stating that there was no
fighting back with this, and because of that they lost Sunday service and have incurred a price
increase. She also spoke to the idea of privatizing the Senior Center building, and that she has
said for some time that this is the issue. Gravitt also asked why these Committee meetings are
not televised. She stated that if the Committee is so worried about the frail and elderly, they
should be making sure those populations can be a part of what is happening here. Gravitt
continued, stating that she and others will continue to fight for the Senior Center building.
Rose Hanson stated she has been a member of the Senior Center for about 21 years. She said
that the City's responsibility is to take care of that building, and they would be doing this
regardless of who was in the building. She also spoke to the staffing of the Center, noting that it
appears to be very reasonable.
Jack Hobbs noted that he is on the Senior Center Commission. He spoke to Member Dobyns,
asking if he wants to build a new building when they are short on money already. He added that
a new building would cost between $6 and $8 million. Hobbs then spoke to funding cuts, asking
how these would be cut and to whom the money would go. He also noted that having a third
party perform these services would not save money, but would actually cost more in the end.
PENDING ITEMS FOR FUTURE MEETINGS:
Honohan noted that they received a letter from Charlotte Walker. He questioned if they
shouldn't respond to let her know this is not under their province. In response to Fruin, Karr this
stated the letter was originally sent to the Council. Dobyns stated that he received the letter and
talked with Karr about it at the time. They were unsure who should address this. Younker
asked if anyone believes this Committee should respond. Dobyns added that he has responded
to Charlotte himself.
Bern -Klug asked if it would be appropriate to have the City employee back who described what
the agencies had requested for funding and what they actually received. She added that this
would seem to be an abbreviation of unmet need. Younker noted that in the information they
received from Fruin, they should have this information. Fruin noted that in the last packet, page
29, there is a three-year history of requests versus awards. He added that as the Members
PAGE 7
Ad Hoc Senior Services Committee
July 7, 2014
Page 6
review this information they need to understand that most of these agencies have been applying
for funds for some years now and understand what level they should target. It may not be
representative of their actual needs. Fruin noted that these are federal funds that the City uses
in its Aid to Agencies program. Honohan noted that this is one reason they need these
agencies' budgets, to help give them a clearer picture of funding gaps. A brief discussion
ensued on what these agencies know they can request funds for, as far as the services they
offer. Fruin then responded to Members' questions regarding the funding approach that the City
has taken.
TENTATIVE THREE MONTH MEETING SCHEDULE (first and third Monday of each
month): Younker spoke to the meeting schedule, asking if the first and fourth Wednesdays will
work for everyone for meeting dates. Bern -Klug asked if they would be meeting back-to-back
then, and Younker noted they would be. Honohan suggested the second and fourth
Wednesdays. Younker stated that he has a conflict on the second Wednesday due to Parks
and Rec. Bern -Klug stated that Wednesdays, late afternoon, work for her. Younker stated that
they may be able to make changes as they move through the process, but that they should at
least have a tentative schedule set. Honohan moved to meet the first and fourth
Wednesdays of September, seconded by Webber. Members continued to discuss dates that
work for everyone. Cannon suggested they go month -by -month with their schedule. Younker
stated that it's better to have a set schedule in order to get room availability and to let the public
know what to expect. Karr suggested they do a tentative three-month schedule, and then they
can revisit the issue in August.
Younker asked what the Committee's thoughts are on holding the July 21 meeting. Honohan
suggested they have their next meeting on July 30, so that the subcommittee can have some
extra time to work on their charge. Younker asked if there are any concerns with cancelling the
July 21 meeting. Bern -Klug stated that she is uncomfortable with this, since everyone is already
available on the 21St. Dobyns stated he had a conflict and would not be able to attend the July
30 meeting. Majority agreed to retain the July 21 meeting and decide at that time whether there
would be a July 30 meeting; cancel the August 4 dues to absences; and schedule September 3
and 24. Further scheduling will be decided later.
ADJOURNMENT:
Honohan moved to adjourn the meeting at 4:55 P.M., seconded by Dohrmann. Motion
carried 7-0.

Marian Karr, Iowa City Clerk
410 Washington Street
Iowa City, la. 52240
I would like to submit the following information for the Ad - Hoc Senior
Services Committee to have for review during the consideration of things
regarding the Seniors of Iowa City and the Senior Center for the July 21, 2014
meeting.
Statistics from the 2010 U.S. Census of Iowa City: ( Actual not a estimated
number)
Total population
Population age 65+
Americans,
Asians and Latino/Hispanic's
rem -30,1A
5,567 which includes Caucasians, African
Number and Percentages of each age 65+:
Caucasians 4,566 equals 75.3%
African Americans
Asians
Latino/Hispanic
Assisted living/nursing homes
PAGE 10
322 equals 8.2%
384 equals. 8.3%
295 equals. 8.2%
224 equals 4.0%. ( received from
Elder Services) and is included in the 65+ population.
The Senior Center has of fiscal year ending June 30, 2014 1,595 members of
which 1568 known date of births equal the following:
10% or 35 members are age 50-54
15% or 359 members are age 55-64
57% or 886 members are age 65-79
18% or 288 members are age 80 - 100
The Senior Center offers over 360 classes, 50 special events, 24 groups and
clubs, 7 active performance groups, 26 professional services, and 18
volunteer opportunities for anyone 50+. Programs are available for active
adults and those not so active.
ThE Senior Center is one (1) of only 200 Senior Centers in the United States
that is ACCREDITED and the only one in the State of Iowa. There are 11,000
senior centers in the
United States,
The Senior Center received a total funding of $778,490.00 last year and
PAGE 11
$209,724.00 or 27% of that came from The Center to assist in maintaining
and offering it's services for all Senior Citizens even those who chose not to
participate in the offerings.
The www.independent Sector.org/volunteer time, site shows that Volunteers at
The Center worked 24,300 hours at $20.93 per hour in 2013 and had a value
of $508,599.00. Which equals 11 1/2 full time employees that Iowa City didn't
have to pay. That shows just how much the citizens of Iowa City cares about
it's Seniors. Because it was not only seniors who volunteered.
Everything that The Senior Center does is by a Excellent Staff of 6.5
outstanding and very dedicated employes, and it has been done this way for
the past 18 years. They are efficient, creative, and able to work with the
volunteers successfully.
If you are not enjoying the wonderful opportunities that "The Center" offers
now, I hope at some point in the future you will be able to realize and enjoy
them as much as seniors do now.

To the ad hoc committee on Senior Services
The Senior Center is about Prevention
I attended the ad hoc meeting July 7 and appreciated the remarks of committee members who stressed the
social and emotional value of the Center, which serves people who have built the community. When you
retire, you lose major social connections and part of your identity. The death of a spouse and friends
complicates that isolation. Many are very involved with grandchildren, if they have any locally or at all.
Some volunteer in social services, not an appealing choice for someone like me for whom it would be like
returning to work. While some still have boards or committees from their past, too many find
companionship in a bar or casino. And somejust sit at hone.
The Johnson County Senior Center for me is about prevention or delay of aging complications. Exercise
classes are at a level I can handle with aging joints. Literature, art and even a dementia prevention class
help the mind, and most of all it is about meeting new people who help solve the problems of aging body
and aging home. It is a support group in keeping with the "Blue Zones" concept, not an organized lobby
just seeking city money, as was suggested.
I found some of the remarks at the July 7 meeting very medical model and rather patronizing. More than a
decade ago I participated in setting up the matrix of local services. Most of the large cohort of aging
"baby boomers" do not yet need the type of services I found on the "Livable Communities" website. Most
are not indigent, though incomes are fixed. We are (mostly) not yet frail —just a little slower. Not yet
demented — just a little trouble in word finding. And we don't need case managers — we ARE de facto
case managers for older siblings and friends. What we do need is a reason to get dressed in the morning,
someone to share a laugh and something constructive to do, especially during the day.
To my knowledge, most of the computer and exercise equipment at the center was purchased by the
endowment built by seniors. Instructors are volunteers or subcontractors. There is a fund raising effort
among members and I for one contribute a scholarship for low income people when I renew my
membership annually. By my analysis, The Center is the only agency that serves a preventative
function for well "elderly."
If the City wants to sell the land to a developer, there will be economic consequences for downtown
retailers, and even from the decline in new residents seeing Iowa City as a retirement destination. t know
from work experience that the national and state efforts to reduce tax revenue have caused agencies to
turn on each other for a piece of the pie. After four decades watching and participating in the construction
of Iowa City's wonderful services, I hope the Senior Center will be there for me. We should not sit at
home, as my widowed mother did for 30 years. As she said, "It is hell when you realize no one needs
you anymore." Thank you for your attention.

Good morning.
The changes that were made to funding for Sunday services were only part of a larger group of changes made as a result
of negotiations for the FY2014 - FY2018 Paratransit Services Contract that resulted in a $300,000 decrease in funding
provided by Johnson County. In addition to the elimination of Sunday service, it also involved conducting the vehicle
maintenance in-house(previously performed by Johnson County) and phasing out the reduced fare program. Our
process involved looking first at changes that did not impact service levels and then work through non -mandatory
services. Sunday service, which was not a mandatory service, was less than 2% of Iowa City's total usage and at a cost of
over twice the cost per ride of Monday - Saturday. In order to allow users to adjust to the changes, we delayed
implementation of the changes to both Sunday service and the elimination of the reduced fare program. Despite the
changes we made, the cost for paratransit services for the City of Iowa City increased from $979,000 in FY2013 to
roughly $1.25 million in FY2014.
Let me know if you have any additional questions.
Chris

Hi Marian,
I hope this finds you well.
I have a follow-up SEATS question that I hope you can forward to the appropriate person:
Please share how the city determined to cut SEATS funding on Sundays (i.e. SEATS usage on Sunday compared to other
days of the week; staff expenses on Sundays compared to other days).
This may have been addressed at one of the meetings, but I'm not certain if it was that specific.
Thank you for your help,
Jane

is too steep. Recommendations: Make it more ADA accessible and place
more signage in the parking ramp and outside the building.

We are not meeting current needs due to lack of funding. In case
management, we are being 'reactive rather than proactive." Concerned
about growth of senior population and increased needs.

Eligibility
The program is intended for low and moderate income Iowa
City homeowner. In general, if the home is in need of major
essential repairs and there is no way one can afford them, it is
likely that the homeowner is eligible. The gross household
income must fall below 80% of the median income for the
Iowa City area, as established by the Department of Housing
and Urban Development.
IL-1

PAGE 71
43
The home must be located in Iowa City; it must be a single-
family, owner -occupied residence; the nature or extent of the
repairs and improvements cannot exceed what is considered
structurally or financially reasonable.
Cost of Service
Low interest loans and/or conditional occupancy loans finance
all programs. Loan payments are determined by the ability to
make an additional monthly payment, but ensuring that total
housing debt does not exceed 30% of gross income.
Conditional occupancy loans are required to be paid back
when the property is sold or rented. On the conditional
occupancy loan, a one time interest payment of 5% is due at
the time of payback.
Description of Organization and Service Provided
The Housing Rehabilitation program of the City of Iowa City
works to help residents maintain and update their homes by
providing financial assistance to homeowners. The availability
of affordable loans, provides lower income homeowners the
opportunity to make repairs on their homes and ultimately
helps to maintain Iowa City's housing stock. The Housing
Rehabilitation Program office administers two programs:
CDBG & HOME Housing Rehabilitation Programs: The
federally -funded housing rehabilitation program is funded
through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
and HOME Investment Partnership programs and provides
financial assistance to low and moderate income homeowners
wanting to make repairs and improvements to their homes.
43
PAGE 72
The programs primarily provide low-interest or no -interest
loans and/or conditional occupancy loans, depending upon the
homeowner's ability to make monthly payments on the loans.
The General Rehablilitation and Improvement Program
(GRIP) is offered as a complement to the federally -funded
CDBG/HOME programs without the same level of income
targeting. GRIP is designed to stabilize and
revitalize neighborhoods through the broader applicability of
our Housing Rehabilitation and Historic Preservation
programs. This program allows the City to offer low-interest
loans that are repayable over a 20 -year period, with the money
awarded to qualified homeowners on a first-come, first -serve
basis.

Report On Shelter House
I have been in contact with Mark Sertterh the Resident
Services Director, Shelter House. I received information
regarding the services they provide and the clients of the
Shelter House and financial and client numbers for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 2014.
Shelter House provides emergency shelter services to
persons who are experiencing homelessness. Fourteen of the
agencies beds are reserved for Veterans and these beds are
subsidized by the Veteran's Administration. They also receive a
grant from the Department of Labor to help find employment for
homeless veterans.
In the fiscal year ending June 30, 3014, the agency
provided emergency shelter services to six hundred fifty three
(653) individuals. Ninety four (94) of those were aged fifty
five (55) years or over. The agency doesn't do anything
specific to tailor to seniors but they review each person's
situation and try and develop a plan to help individuals out of
the situation which causes the homelessness problem.
Stays at the Shelter House are temporary and the agency
focus primarily on housing. They do try and assist seniors in
finding senior subsidized housing in Johnson County. This has
resulted in the past with connecting some with family, some in.
assisted living, and some with their own apartments.
The agency tries to help all of their clients get access to
mainstream resources they qualify for (i.e. food stamps) and
they encourage seniors who do not work to become involved with
the Senior Center.
The budget for the fiscal year was two million dollars
($2,000,000). The breakdown of funding sources is as follows:
Housing and Urban Development . . . . . . $440,000
Department of Labor . . . . . . . . . . . $105,000
Veteran's Administration . . . . . . . . $175,000
Iowa Finance Authority . . . . . . . . . $120,000
United Way . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 70,000
City of Iowa City . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 50,000
Johnson County . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 60,000
City of Coralville . . .
Private Donations . . . .
$ 7,000
$250,000
PAGE 158
This summary of funding does not add up to the total figure of
two million dollars ($2,000,000) but Mark explained that they
receive other grants, corporate grants, faith community
donations. They also do catering out of their kitchen that
generates revenue. These items make up the balance of the
funding.
I did not feel that based upon the resolution that my
charge was to include the numbers of staff members and volunteer
hours. If the committee feels I should obtain this information,
I will do so. I did not visit the premises again believing this
is not the charge of the resolution and I make no comments
regarding the facility.

To: Ad Hoc Committee on Senior Services
From: Jay Honohan
I propose the following amendment to the draft minutes of the
meeting of July 7, 2014.
The first paragraph on page 6 of the minutes be deleted as
proposed and the following paragraph be inserted in its place.
Kathy Mitchell, Senior Center Commissioner and Steering
Council Member, noted that she is quit upset with the
remarks from committee member Dobyns that insinuated that
the 80 -plus people who attended the on June 23, 2014
meeting were in lock -step together in an attempt to
influence the commilee. She stated that these people are
terrified of losing the Center and everything it is to them.
She added that many have never spoken in public and were
terrified to do so. Mitchell stated that personally she is
offended by what she feels was implied by Committee Member
Dobyns' comments.

Subject:
Keep the Senior Center open!
Why would ANYONE belittle the comments made by seniors from their ad hoc meeting?
Mr. Dobyns you are so disrespectful and inconsiderate. You are SUPPOSED to represent ALL people of city and NOT only
a select few.
This council must continue to keep the Senior Center open. I know that many say Common Sense died years ago
however, Mr. Dobyns, you must search for some.

Dear. Members of the Iowa City City Council,
It has come to my attention that you are discussing the closure of the Senior Citizen
Center, or at least decreasing its allocated space. If this is true, then your plans should
be prominently displayed in the halls of the Center.
I admit that I do not spend a lot of time on the affairs of the Council. I assume you are
honest, hard-working, well-educated people of honor, and I rarely question your
decisions. I said nothing when the free parking was taken away, because I thought it was
only fair.
What I know, I read in The Gazette. I do not attend Council meetings because I have little
use for the Quibble Meisters that often plague the Council Members. I am told that there
are two types of people who attend the meetings. One group has little of real
importance. The other group wants to rob the taxpayers for their own profit. I am aware
that some requests are beneficial for the citizens.
I know revenue is tight so here are some suggestions to increase same.
1. License bicycles and ticket the riders who break the law.
2. If we give money to builders, have them allot some of the space to the Senior
Center.
3. Share some of your Iowa City office space with the Senior Center.
I know these ideas are far out, but it is to remind you that when times get tough, there are
people beside the senior citizens that could help shoulder the burden.
We have lived, worked, and volunteered in this community for years as have many others
at our Senior Center. We have an outstanding senior center. It has been accredited by
the National Institute of Senior Center. It would be a shame to lose this accreditation.
Our Senior Center is one of the attractions that draw many seniors to Iowa City. Our
incoming seniors add much vitality, purchasing power, and taxes to our community.
Some of the services which my wife and I use at the Senior Center include the Visiting
Nurse medical resources, SHIP, IRS services, senior dining, and working with personal
physical therapist in equipment rooms for prescriptions from medical doctors. We have
used the assistance offered by those experienced with aiding us with our technology
devices. The community benefits from the many musical groups from the Senior Center.
The group get-togethers with the Hearing Impaired provide an opportunity for learning
and socialization with others like me. Quiet places to sit and read while our spouse is
engaged in another appointment are of great value. We also appreciate the decent
movies that are planned and offered by people who have the background for selecting
them.
Please consider the needs of our Senior Citizens. There are people who have no place to
socialize with others. This is a needed location for the socialization and ability to
maintain a healthy frame of mind for many.
Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
Aw CfArld

What's Next for ESI
As the summer winds down, so does Elder Services, Inc.'s
Fiscal Year. Our Annual Report is a quick snapshot of our
past year. We've had some great accomplishments and
plan to better serve persons age 6o and older in Johnson
County and East Central Iowa.
Our volunteer program has been growing, offering
people age 55 and older a greater number of
opportunities to stay active and make a difference
in their own community. This past year we started a
volunteer medical driver program. Not 55? No problem:
Elder Services has many needs for volunteers in our
programs. Just give us a call.
We've also improved our information and referral
program. We're now working with companies in the
area, assisting their employees with aging family
members. Staff provide information on services available
in the area and — if the family member is outside of
Eastern Iowa — with referrals to outside agencies who can
provide this information. Additionally, we also provide
assessments and suggestions to those who want to stay
in their own home, as well as information and guidance
when they are no longer able to do so.

Success Story Description
The City of Iowa City partnered with Johnson County and senior groups to acquire
and rehabilitate the "old" post office building in downtown Iowa City, The purpose
of this project was to renovate this 25,000 square foot, vacated building into a
comprehensive, multi -use, City/County Senior Center.
The original building was built in 1904 and an addition was built in 1931. The
building was designed in the Beaux Arts style and constructed out of Indiana
limestone. The U.S. Postal Service relocated in 1975, making the building available
for renovation. The structure was selected as the City/County Senior Center site
because if Its proximity to downtown services and elderly housing complexes, its
potential to allow for locating a range of elderly services and activity centers in one
place, and the opportunity to make practical use of the space.
One of the challenges was to design a functional and accessible variety of interior spaces while honoring the
requirement to conserve the historical site features of the main lobby, the exterior stone, millwork and large window
sashes. The original mail workroom is now a large meeting area that hosts a variety of informative and entertaining
programs as well as the daily congregate meals program. A mezzanine floor was introduced to make more efficient
use of the vertical space above the dining area. This space is used as a library, game and office area with visual
access to the main lobby below. The basement was excavated to provide sufficient height for a lower level and
accommodates several offices, a meeting room, a fitness facility and craft rooms. The upper floor is used for
classroom and office space, a computer lab and a television studio run by senior volunteers.
Human service agencies specializing in senior services have collected data which document how the Senior Center
has provided a greater opportunity for cooperative arrangements and partnerships through the centralization of
services and activities. The Iowa City/Johnson County Senior Center recorded 88,818 visits to the facility in 2003.
According to a 2000 survey, approximately 66.2% of those served at the Senior Center were low-income.
In addition to the low -moderate income clients served, the Senior Center project has also accomplished these
additional CDBG objectives: (1) making a public building fully accessible; (2) preservation of a historically significant
structure; (3) employment of construction workers at Davis -Bacon wage rates, and (4) providing a linkage to Iowa
City's Housing Rehabilitation Program through the Elder Services, Inc. offices within the Senior Center.
The Senior Center has also indirectly acted as a catalyst for other activities that further the mission of the CDBG
program. One of these benefits is the development of subsidized housing for persons who are elderly or disabled in
downtown Iowa City. These housing projects include Ecumenical Towers, Capitol House and the Citizen Building.
Iowa City's CDBG investment in the Iowa City/Johnson County Senior Center was completed over 20 years ago. After
all these years, CDBG still delivers!

During 2004, the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program marks
its 30th Anniversary. Since Its inception, CDBG has become the foundation of
virtually all community and economic development occurring across the nation.
Signed into law on August 22, 1974, by President Gerald Ford, CDBG is the most
reliable source of funding for addressing the critical social, economic, and
environmental problems in our cities. Its design puts funding back Into the cities
where it is specifically targeted to those individuals who, without these funds,
would not have access to services that only CDBG can provide. Its primary
objective is the development of viable urban communities, by providing decent
housing, suitable living environments, and expanded economic opportunities,
principally for low- and moderate -income persons.
Home I f n Espanol I Contact Us I A to z
CDBG's greatest strength, however, is its approach to solving problems through a
locally -driven, citizen participation process. For cities large and small, urban and
rural, CDBG has been the driving force for housing rehabilitation, neighborhood
improvements, and local economic development Initiatives. It has Improved
water and sewer systems, provided loans for business development, supported
services for lower income elderly and children, and expanded homeownership
opportunities. And CDBG will continue to help create a better standard of living
for all of America's people. CDBG: helping Communities Develop, Build, Grow!
