Minutes 5-22-02 Page 7 6. ITEMS FOR SUBSEQUENT AGENDAS In response to Boscia's inquiry, Hogg opined that because Commission assets are significant and continue to grow, a greater share should be returned to the seniors; since a large portion of those funds are derived from bingo, perhaps consideration should be given to lowering the percentage that is given to the Commission; the trip program does not lend itself as well to such considerations; and a meeting should be called to discuss the topic further. Giovenco noted that prizes such as daubers are frequently given to bingo participants. Fiorita suggested that the topic be referred to the Budget and Finance Committee, and Courant urged that excess Commission funds be spent for the benefit of the center. 7. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION A. Commission Concems In response to Fiorita's inquiry, Schrock said that no money can be realized by the Commission through an oven salvage process. Fiorita requested that staff be reminded that free coffee be made available for RSVP volunteers, Giovenco said that after the bingo break, excess coffee is given away, Schrock said that Danielle of RSVP usually prepares coffee, and Doane said that free coffee is usually available from SNACK. Doane urged everyone to wear their Commission badge, and said that some need badges and suggested that a committee be appointed to design new badges for better readability. Lawrence identified a sensitive bingo personnel situation that merited further discussion, and Fiorita suggested the discussion be deferred to the next Bingo Committee meeting. Westland requested an update from the Bylaws Committee be presented at the next meeting. In response to Ossenkop's inquiry, Fiorita said that guests can address the Commission during the Public Discussion portion of the agenda. Manninger thanked all who worked on the roses in the center garden.
