P•wTT_"_iG OF ^_? SENIOR ADVISORY 3CA_R.D NOWT i•�ER 18, 1987 .
Called to order by Joe Campanella at 1:35 P. M.
BIembers present: Joe Campanella, Pat Long, Philip Simon, Nancy iuttropp,
and Lucy Tackle.
Members absent: Dwight Saunders, Mildred Arnold, Yetta Rollin, Arlene
Simon, and Sam Rosenthal.
Joe talked about the sale of advertising space in the new Senior Service
Guide booklets and the prices of these spaces. He explained the plan to
sell advertising space in the center pages to restaurants and lawyers who
give discounts to seniors. His goal is to raise $5,000. Joe, Ruby, Stan,
and Jerry are working on this. Pat Long said he would contact CBG3 Board
to obtain donation.
Lucy Tackle presented a report (for Mildred Arnold) on Traffic Control in
the Foothills Fashion Mall area. She distributed copies of a recent
Coloradoan Newspaper clipping on this subject. She reported that Joe Frank
said P & Z Board plan to make a "neckdown" -- narrowing Stanford Street by
widening the sidewalks to facilitate pedestrian crossing. There were no plans
to install traffic signal light or a caution sign. We need to see Rick
Ensdorff (221-6609) for a caution sign like "Caution, Seniors Crossing!"
Closing East Foothills Parkway and Monroe Street will put more traffic on
Stanford. The fast increased flow of traffic on Stanford will make it
difficult for seniors to cross to the shopping center and to catch the bus.
Joe Frank said city would evaluate this but did not think traffic was enough
to merit a traffic light.
Joe Campanella suggested that maybe the Pall would donate land for a bus
drive—thru. Joe and Sam will speak to Rick Ensdorff on consideration of
pedestrians in this area and also about the traffic light near the hospital
on Lemay.
Nancy Luttropp distributed copies of the Fort Collins Listing of Boards and
Commissions and talked about a survey to be sent to all seniors about what
they want in the new senior center. Joe gave Nancy copies of the Loveland
and the Greeley. Senior Center surveys. Y-ancy asked acting secretary to
contact board members and ask each member to send ten questions they would
like to see on this survey. She hopes to receive these questions by December
loth.
We discussed dates for the next meeting but, because there are so many
conflicts in December, Nancy suggested there be no meeting in December.
This was unanimously agreed on.
Joe extends Folida^ `dishes to all. Meeting adjourned 2:45 F. i.
