B. Paint-a-Thon -- Barbara invited the board to the
start-up breakfast Thursday, July 16th when the twelve painting
teams will get their assignments.
Discussion about the need to start earlier in the year,
i.e. March, and perhaps forming a sub -committee and/or an ad
hoc committee to review the houses. Jean suggested a couple of
city people who might help to put together such a committee to
work with SAB members. RSVP's Handyman Program might be used.

and affirmation of Building Team meeting 7/9/92 to start the
design process re new senior center now that site selection

D. Health Care/Endorsement of sales tax initiative -- Kay
had petitions on hand for voluntary signatures, and for anyone
who might care to take and collect signatures in an attempt to
get the question on the November ballot.
She has full information re use and purpose of monies
collected, which she will share with any and all interested.
She mentioned a number of endorsers in the medical field,
media, etc.
Marjorie moved that the Senior Advisory Board also
endorse this Health Care Access Sales Tax Initiative. During
lengthy discussion, guest Al Baccili voiced his reasons for
being against it. Motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
E. Retirement Brochure -- Kay reported that the brochure
has been turned over to Jean Helburg, where it will be handled
in-house (Parks and Rec), and be called something other than
"retirement," perhaps "senior opportunities." They will decide
how or where it will be used. This board is no longer involved
with the project.

until Friday, August 7th when it will be broadcast at a new
time slot.

for public usage of Cultural, Library and Recreational

board members that the rules and regulations governing use of
CLRS services facilities is sound, but we would like to see
the addition of an appeals process, and a yearly review.

the Boards and C9mmissions ordinance. The board agreed that,
with one name correction, the language of the section about
this board was acceptable. No changes or comments were offered
