Staff:
Sue Kreibich, Aging Services Manager
President Ralph Nielsen called the meeting to order at 1:30 P.M.
President Nielsen called for a motion to approve the purchase of myseniorcenter.com software.
Motion by Claude Benedict for approval to purchase myseniorcenter.com software and
hardware with funds coming from the program account fund equity. Seconded by Jean
Zimmerman.
Under discussion, Board members and Sue discussed how this could assist with saving staff time
but not replacing staff. It’s hoped that staff will have time to be accomplishing other tasks that
there is not time for now. Sue Kreibich shared that she had called the Middleton Senior Center,
the other Wisconsin center having purchased it already. They have not had it long enough to
realize the benefits but they’re happy with the purchase. Sue indicated that before purchasing,
she would call centers in Massachusetts who have been using it for some time to find out their
level of satisfaction. She will also call Tony Neumann in Information Technology for the City,
to see if all needed connections were compatible. He has given his okay to purchase this if we
are satisfied. There was no further discussion.
Motion carried. Unanimous.
There will be no regular meeting in January.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully Submitted,
Sue Kreibich
Aging Services Manager
