Ms. DiGiacomo seconded. On vote, motion carried unanimously. CURRENT BUSINESS: 1. New Council on Aging Board Member Orientation: The board agreed they are not comfortable with redesigning the new board member orientation packet remotely, and would rather wait to meet face to face to discuss their options. Mr. Lincoln asked which board members are up for reappointment. 2. COA Bylaws vs. Policies and Procedures: topic tabled until the board can meet in person. 3. COA FY22 Budget Town of Lunenburg Finance Committee Meeting 2/18/2021 @ 7 p.m.: Ms. Doherty showed her planned presentation to the board, which highlighted adjustments made to programs, various grant funding received, and pointed out that the COA would not be increasing the amount of money requested except for raises in salaries. 4. Director Report:  COVID-19 Report: Ms. Doherty reported that the Town Manager allowed her to reallocate budget funds from paying instructors for formerly scheduled in- person courses to pandemic-friendly events, such as drive-thrus, zoom meetings, and new banquet chairs that are easy to clean and sanitize. Ms. Doherty informed the board that the office staff has been assisting seniors with registering for a vaccine clinic held at Devens, as well as helping find appointments elsewhere when the vaccine could no longer be made available by the Nashoba Associated Boards of Health.  Bulk Mailing to Lunenburg Residents 60+: Ms. Doherty showed the board the postcard that was sent out from the Eagle House, which briefly described the services offered, and contact information. Unanimously approved by COA at April 13, 2021 meeting. ===PAGE 2===  Building and Grounds Report: Ms. Doherty reported that the repair on the roof above the main entrance began in November, and had to be stopped because of the cold temperatures. The repairs will resume when the weather gets warmer. Ms. Lincoln added that she distributed a letter to the board concerning the rocks that run along the side of the road on Memorial Drive across from the Eagle House. Before sending the letter to the people who put the rocks down, Ms. Lincoln was informed by the Town Manager via email that the owner of the property that lies under the rocks is still unknown. Ms. Lincoln will hold off on sending the letter until more information is shared. Mr. Jeffries commented that he thought the property owner would be known by now.  Town of Lunenburg Senior Tax Work-Off Program: Ms. Doherty informed the board that she has resigned from the committee.  FY22 Formula Grant Funding: Ms. Doherty informed the board that it’s been projected by the Massachusetts Councils on Aging that grant funds will be reduced to $9 per elder from $12. Ms. Doherty projected that if the funds are based on the new 2020 federal census numbers, the total amount of the grant would still be an increase from last year, considering there are far more people over the age of 60 living in town now as opposed to ten years ago when the census was last taken.  Upcoming Events: Ms. Doherty highlighted upcoming drive-thru events, and a soft re-opening of the building for limited seating programs. EAGLE HOUSE SUPPORTERS REPORT: Ms. Lincoln informed the board that the Eagle House Supporters will be holding a pet contest fundraiser from February 27 to March 26, 2021. NOTICES AND COMMUNICATIONS: BOARD COMMENT : PUBLIC COMMENT: Mr. Jeffries informed the board that he met with the newly elected state delegation to discuss how taxes are affecting senior citizens in town, and that they are discussing ideas to increase the reimbursement amount for property tax work off programs, as well as creating a tax code to help keep seniors in their homes in their towns. ADJOURNMENT Ms. DiGiacomo moved to adjourn at 10:37 a.m. Mr. Lincoln seconded. On vote, motion carried unanimously.
