 Yeah, and there was a lot of stuff with the buildings on 8th Street that stuff was just covered up to modernize it But then it was an event when it's like My eyes into the updated I saw that you sent it I didn't get a chance because I put on Well good morning morning commission We got Sue and Stephanie John and rich Emily and Josh, but We do not have a quorum so therefore I cannot well this will not be an official meeting However, we'll go forward. There's a lot of information. We won't like to share So saying no quorum. We'll just move forward, but we will start with a pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance One nation Okay, we will start by introducing our newest members Stephanie gets can you tell us a little bit about yourself Stephanie sure I'm Stephanie. I'm lifelong member or resident of Sheboygan I'm director of operations at Sheboygan senior community, which is a non-profit senior living organization I Have my degree in marketing and a master's in business administration And I am excited to be a part of the commission to advocate for our seniors as well as for the city of Sheboygan And do what I can to move us forward Thank You Stephanie. So we'll move forward We have to table the Approval minutes till next month, so we'll do that But we can do a lot of discussion. I didn't we just kind of take any action today. So programming Josh all right update. I still haven't seen rich at my dancing classes, but that's okay. Yeah Maybe one day programs are going well Similar numbers still we haven't really seen any more of a drop-off at the summer We introduced our mahjong instructional class this month Which filled up in that was like what two a week or two? The biggest thing this summer and I guess since we've still been offering programs are just the monthly programs are just filling up Superfast still Maryland's cooking class is still always having attendance. We had a seas trip On Monday, which went really well. It's really good weather out there for that And then we have another like monthly trip next month with see when the trolley. That's already filling up a lot So the monthly ones are still Really good participation numbers the daily ones have been staying the same for the rest of the summer looking at probably October just looking at different programs that we can Offer for the new building once we send out that survey to participants just to get an idea of what they want and then Kind of go from there, but that's my quick program update. Great. Well, that's a great lead in one of the charges we had so I went forward to put together a interest survey As you can see that the first one are the current program Josh gave me a list in the current programs and They're gonna, you know show an interest in it and then whether they attend 10 or don't attend and then whether they're a member past member or non-member and then The second part are the programs that we had but currently not in The last one with some possible new programs in my suggestion was birdwatching. So we'll see if anybody's interested in birdwatching So And I think that Emily said that the mayor's intern could maybe put this on survey monkey and send out to all our Participants and see hopefully, you know, if we get 30% Response that would be great. So so hopefully and you know feel free to tweak it any way you want it So hopefully we'll get some and my wife and I did it already. So we have two survey takers So very good, okay Great great tour yesterday Emily of the new building. I was impressed on how much space it is I see me the old building from the outside. I didn't believe how much Space was inside but it's looking good. Yeah. Yeah, so for those watching We had a hard hat tour for commission and friends board members yesterday and I think we have about 10 that But so for a lot of people that was their first time in the building and I'm fortunate to be able to go Every other week for a meeting with the contractors and every time I go It's wildly different in there But I echo richest sentiments that it just feels so much bigger in real life Then it does when we look at our little floor plan print out. So The contractors are making great progress things are humming along still on track for November occupancy and Nothing too dramatic to need feedback on or to report out to the group things are just moving forward Todd How did you how do you feel the progress is being made a city manager? Okay Okay, good. Yeah for those who didn't hear Todd said that he Good progress even though there's little setbacks now and then but they're always being taken care of so thank you Moving on along with that one of the things that we're we're really Stressing is adding the third staff members. So Emily you want to give an update on that? Sure. Sure. So Rich and then Scott who's the friends board president and I had several meetings with city administrator Todd wolf to talk about reactivating a third full-time position to help us run the building when it opens and also met with Alderperson Feldy who's our council person rep on this commission who couldn't be with us this morning But she was amenable that as we are ready to move into our new building It makes sense for us to add it to bring back a third full-time employee So this is something that's in the city's table of organization the person that was in this role previously Left as there was no building to operate. So the position has been open for it'll be almost two years So actually this coming Monday July 25th at 5 p.m The position will be on the agenda for discussion at the city's personnel and finance committee so I'm encouraging supporters to attend not to speak But to show solidarity in the room will be right here in council chambers That's Monday at 5 p.m. To just show up and show Approval of us adding a third person and If all goes well at that meeting then it will be up for discussion the following Monday at 6 p.m At the full council meeting so that would be August 1st the word is out that you would like some support because My wife and her duties as doing foot care a lot of the participants were talking about the position and the need for it So and the support so somehow the word is out there good good and while we're talking about staffing I would it would be inappropriate not to recognize Josh's one-year anniversary, which was yesterday So thank you Josh for being a part of our team and happy anniversary, and I heard you got a big cake. I got cake I got lemon bars chocolate a Lot of cards It was good time Our people take very good care of us Josh But any other questions or comments about the the staffing and thanks to Mr. Wolf for his support. We appreciate that Yes, so one of the things that and I had to have been talking to Barb Feldy about and I didn't realize it is that Now that we're moving forward and we're called uptown social We're going to need to do a little bit of tweaking of the city ordinances that that run our Position here and and there's two areas that have one is Emily's position Which is the director and I'm just to highlight a few things from it. It's ordinance on Section 2-422 if anyone wants to go online and actually read it but so the Common Council points the Director of senior services and At one time with senior activity director, but now it's called director senior services which is a little more all-encompassing because For those and Stephanie one of the things we are also in a charge with doing is Looking over the livability shabuigan livability which we've kind of put on hold because of the building But once that we're in the building then we're really going to move forward on that and well and I'll share AARP, Wisconsin is holding a two and a half day Meeting in Madison in September for Wisconsin's livable communities So I'm planning on attending along with Chad Peleshek the director of planning good good So then we could you know we can reinstate that and get that moving so So Emily's position they help direct the policy of the senior activity center That's the services The operation it's all basically Emily is in charge of the building is Really what the new ordinance states and then also there's a few things on the other section that will have to be Tweeted because for instance that it still says senior activities center, so we're going to change that to uptown social within it This committee can it's supposed to have eight members and one council member So nine nine members total and I think we're at that right now. I think we have one vacancy. We have Andrew Know from Jeannie. Oh Jean. Yeah, we have one. We we have one So and the mayor makes final point point minutes and the common council approves it. There's three your terms And you can have two consecutive three-year terms and then you have to be off a year And then you can get back on so that kind and a few of us have done that so we're supposed to Meet and elected chairperson and vice chairperson. We should update that language here, too So um in May well, we didn't do it in May and we haven't done it now. So I guess I continue Till a new election comes so on and that's basically in here the hours are operation Says from eight to four, but I know that has been changed. So yeah, so I think at the September meeting Yeah, we got to make sure that that's changing this but One other place I saw is that you make you can make the determination of ours So there's a new section in 24-7. Yeah, right Is that why that jacuzzi So basically that's that so as we move forward We're gonna need to change a few of the ordinances to support where we're going with that so That is that so is that's really everything we have for today because we don't have a quorum But hopefully in September we do we do the next meeting September 21st Here and what we're gonna do then for the second next meeting in November We're gonna push that off and we're gonna have a joint meeting at I'm with the friends again, but then after that after we have a meeting here We hope to all head over to the new activity center and kind of have a Get some coffee and just enjoy the new building and hear about what's going on here So try out the jacuzzi So with that I will adjourn the meeting so thank you for coming and thanks everyone out there for listening Yeah
