Staff provided the Senior Center Advisory Committee with a brief overview of the report as outlined in
the agenda statement.
The Senior Center Advisory Committee engaged in a discussion about volunteer instructors and how they
help keep the cost of many activities affordable at $1.25. Additionally, they discussed ways to let
participants know that many instructors are volunteers.
CM Guarienti noted that some participants comment they feel there should be no fees for the activities as
they are tax payers. Staff explained that the Dublin City Council is very supportive of the Senior Center
and senior programs and that a significant majority of the costs are paid for from the General Fund; the
fees enable the Senior Center to continue to offer a variety of high quality activities at or below cost.
SECOND ANNUAL INTERGENERATIONAL CAR SHOW
The Dublin Senior Foundation, the Senior Center Advisory Committee, and the Youth Center Advisory
Committee will co-sponsor the Second Annual Car Show again this year. The event will be held at the
Dublin Heritage Park and Museums.
CM Bonetti reported that the Dublin Senior Foundation decided to continue their participation in this
event. The Foundation raised about $200 at the first Car Show in 2011. This year it is anticipated that
approximately 80 vehicles will be entered. Food trucks have been invited to be onsite for a fee, along
with a DJ and possibly some live bands. Staff hopes that funds will be raised through car registration,
food truck registration and vendor fees. The funds raised by the Car Show will be divided equally
between the Dublin Senior Center Foundation and the City’s Youth Fee Assistance Program.
CM Sandeman withdrew from this Subcommittee as she has become involved in several other activities.
CM Guarienti agreed to replace CM Sandeman on the Subcommittee and join CM Bonetti as the two
Senior Center Advisory Committee representatives.
Other Business
CM Guarienti asked why a youth representative did not attend the Senior Center Advisory Committee
meeting. Staff explained since the Senior Center Advisory Committee meets during the day, the youth are
not available. The Youth Advisory Committee is represented at the Parks and Community Services
Commission meetings; and both Advisory Committees are subsidiaries to the Parks and Community
Services Commission they represent.
Commissioner Mack reported the Parks and Community Services Commission meeting held elections and
that all positions remained the same.
CM Bonetti reported the Dublin Senior Foundation will submit an application for fireworks sales this year
and the George Zika, the Dublin Senior Foundation’s Treasurer, will coordinate this fundraiser.
The Foundation will work as building monitors again this year at the St. Patrick’s Day event.
