Committee Reports: City Liaison Report:None Mayor's Report: None City Council Report: Rose reported that she had attended the Kendall Senior Resource meeting and transportation was discussed. The committee has been talking to both Grundy and DeKalb Counties. Their report believes that Kendall would need at least 3 buses and drivers. They are looking for partners, such as churches, Senior Services, YMCAs,the Cities, etc. This transportation program would serve all ages, with a minimum age for youth. The projected cost would be $500,000 annually, with a possible matching state grant to cover some of the costs, possibly 50%. Generally, administrative costs are 80%, and communities kick in 20%. Prices are being discussed. In DeKalb, the one way trip is $1.50, in Grundy, it is $3.00, and Senior Services charges $4.00. Oswego senior committee got a grant for a transportation study with 32%of the surveys returned. There will be a second Kendall County Community Summit on April 4t', at Trinity Lutheran Church. Rose is going to apply for a grant from the senior funds to give to the church for allowing the event to be held there. There was a suggestion to check with Bolingbrook which won an award for home building that was accessible. Sylvia noted that back in July,the HRC had recommended to the City Council to make the Historical Name signs in brown,to be hung underneath the regular green street sign, noting the full name of the person being honored.

Home Instead Senior Care sent in two. Sylvia made a motion to accept the one that related what their program for seniors is, and to reject the brochure from them on Making Gardening Fun Again for Seniors. Diana seconded. Approval was given on the brochure from Home Instead,but not on the one on gardening. Sylvia made a list of the brochures in the rack, and found that some had been approved, while others had not. The brochures that had not been previously approved were passed around and discussed. Some brochures it is believed,were previously approved,but may not have been listed individually in the meeting minutes. We also believe some of these were placed there because there was no room in the Police Department unit in their office. Sylvia made a motion to accept the following brochures from the list. Madonna seconded. Approval was given for the following: Accessible Living, Ltd.; Advanced Physical Medicine; Alcoholics Anonymous; American Red Cross; The Conservation Foundation; Country Insurance and Financial Services; Gold Star Academy of Dance; Home Town Hello; Midwest Document Destruction Services, Inc.; Parkview Christian Academy; River Heights Veterinary Clinic; SOS Survivors of Suicide; The Salvation Army Golden Diners; Space Maker Self Storage; The LIHEAP program of the State of Illinois.

Dean presented two folders, one for Fox Valley TV classes on doing cable tv shows, and one on Lifeline Personal Response. Dana made a motion to accept both, Tom seconded. Approved. Historical Street Names Sylvia also did a study on the list of names, and found that Dr. Robert Coleman was nominated in May of 2005, and was approved but not on the list. James Harkness was also nominated and approved at that meeting and not on the list. These will be checked on. There were several new nominations to review. Charles Baird was previously nominated in February of 2005. A request for more information was done, asking what major contribution he had made, and the newest nomination did not cover anything that wasn't in the previous nomination. Not approved because there was no major contribution outside of what he did for his job/work. Edward Stumbo was also nominted in 2002, and a request had been made for more information as to what he had done above and beyond his career. Charles Pope was nominated previously in August 2003. We would like more information on the inventions and possible historical contributions. Lenore Wissmiller's nomination was approved. Richard Falato's nomination was put on hold as he is still doing the service he was nominated for. Wes Christian's nomination was returned for more information on historical contributions he may have made. On the list of names that was submitted, Rose will check with Eldon Madden as to any possible further information. The same with the nomination of Richard Groner. Eddy Salisbury—not approved because of no historical contribution. NEW BUSINESS Requests for use of grant funding or use of City facilities were presented. Rose is requesting $50 for the Elder Friendly Summit on April 4t'. Cecelia made a motion to approve, Diana seconded. Approved to send to Council. The Yes Yes Walk for Kids and Rally for use of the Riverfront Park was not approved. This was based on the recommendation from the Park Board which indicated that they did not believe the rental fee should be waived because although the organization was a worthy one, it is not a true non-profit that operates year-round. Also,we will not waive deposits and this is stated on the application form. The application from the Fox Valley YMCA for use of Riverfront Shelter and Boat launch for the Tri-City Challenge on May 13'h was approved. The request from the Yorkville Junior Women's Club for use of the Town Square and Gazebo on May 6 ,for a Craft Show was returned for more information. They had used the old form. We need to know what the cause is going for, where the profit is going, and we do not waive deposits. Madonna will take responsibility for the list from the City and will contact Jennifer for copies. ADDITIONAL BUSINESS Sylvia read the letter she had submitted by e-mail to all about her desire to resign from the HRC effective when her term is up in May, 2006. Cecelia passed around the booklet that Geneva Police Department does every year, and also the McHenry Township newsletter. Most of the programs for seniors are not run through the cities,but through townships. Most have little or no funding. Many just refer calls from seniors to Senior Services Associates, Inc. a few have police assigned to senior issues. Tom made a motion to adjourn Diana seconded.

Please note the brochure is currently set up as printing just the color black. It could be printed in black with a beige paper(giving it an old-fashioned look) or it can be printed on cream paper in the color brown (also giving it a old fashioned feel). I don't recommend that the brochure be printed in four-color because I feel it would lose the overall feel and look. Please feel free to contact me with your feedback.
