The President declared the motion adopted. \v�� The following annual report of the Commission for Senior Citizens was presented by Mrs. Joanne Knight: The Fort Collins Coordinating Commission for Senior Citizens was created by the City Council in March of 1968. The nine members appointed by the same council met for the first time on April 16. The first official -act of the commission was to ask for a decla-ation of senior citizens week for the city as part of the national senior citizens moni of May. The commission made an effort to initiate activities and publicize existing services. In v i.ew of the pressing need for transportation expressed constantly by the senior ci.t izens a map of the Ace Cab jitney service was printed and distributed to all who wished one via the various clubs. I t was made known that the Campus West and the Aggie both charge only 50 cents for people over 60. Dial -a -prayer sponsored by the First Pres. Church waspublicized. Available from the Poudre Education Association are Golden Age Activity passes for anyone over 65. The cards admit the older residents without charge to activities sponsored by the Poudre R-L school district. In honor of the senior citizens week several beauty shops gave free shampoos and sets to winners of drawing: at various clubs. To bring in the youth of the community in an effort to foster dignity and respect for the aging a poster contest was sponsored by the commission. Cash prizes were given to the winners. The week was considered successful.- We hope to expand interes and types of activities for next year. Two benches were donated to the city via the commission. If used we hope to have more donated by businesses and individuals. The benches were made by Valley Block at a cost of $55.40 each. Questionarires have been distributed to all nursing homes to determine if any visitors are needed. The Poudre Valley National Bank agreed to sponsor a senior citizens social calendar which has been running in the Coloradoan for a couple of months. The First National Bank is going to sponsor a monthly Oi4tstanding ,Senior Citizen,. We have discussed homemaker service for the elderly who are bedridden, handi- capped or feeble and we are extremely encouraged to hear the Welfare Dept. has made pro- visions to initiate this vital service. Since the concensus of the Seminar on the Aging held in 1967 held that there were three major areas in which there was a great need for action, a community center, transportation and housing, we took into consideration two of the three areas. A center and housing. We all felt that housing should be given preferance for study and we have been concerning ourselves with low income housing for the aging for the past several months. Mr..Egst of the Federal Housing Authority, Mr. Robinson of the Administration on the Aging have talked with us. Since there are over 1000 people who would qualify for elderly low income housing in the City alone (62 and over who get on the average of 86 dollars a month, the maximum being 126), the commission does feel a need for housirg which these people could afford. A rent supplement program seems necessary regardless of the project route we go. But at this point we would like the City Council to give us per- mission either for the commission to act as a sponsor or to invite St. Lukes' Church to be a sponsor of the housing project. After presenting this report, Mrs. Knight made several requests, if approved, to the program being carried out so that they can be recognized by the City Council and others projects that are being planned. After Discussion on the report, motion was made by Councilman Kruchten, seconded by Councilman Kissock, that the report be accepted and the requests be referred to the Mayor for an appointment of a committee to work with the Com- mission preparing a request in form for Council consideration.
