The city and county are still at odds over how to implement and fund the plan of $32 million in eventual transportation improvements to the South College Avenue corridor between Swallow and Carpenter roads. Rural transit in Larimer County will be getting grants of $191,429 in 2002 from the Federal Transit Authority. This would include Saint, OAR — Loveland transit and Fox Trot. Council vote for widening South College Ave was grounded on safety concerns. Business owners complained that it would do the opposite of improving access along South College and said it will cause a loss of their frontage roads and entrances for their customers. Meeting adjourned at 4:20 p.m. Karen Bryner, Recording Secretary SENIOR ADVISORY BOARD Questions about the 2002 Recreation Division Budget 1. Overview of the Recreation Fee Policy. 2. What are the special considerations in the budget for senior programs? 3. What is the philosophy for funding senior programs and how has this changed in the past five or six years? 4. Why are programs free for seniors at Northside but not at the Senior Center? 5. Why is there a mandatory membership fee now? 6. Seniors report that fees have increased. Why is this? Do you believe this effects participation? 7. Reports indicate that older seniors do not apply for scholarship or reduced fees. With increased fees, do you believe this has an impact on meeting the mission of keeping seniors involved? S. What is the subsidy for youth programs, and how does this compare to the senior subsidy? 9. Staff reports cutbacks and impact on time. Why has this occurred? Do you believe that this impacts service delivery to seniors? 10. Do you believe that these changes will eventually lead to entirely fee based programming for seniors? 11. Do you believe that the Recreation budget adequately reflects the mission to provide a community focal point for programs and services for seniors?
