Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, March 19, 2012 <br />Page 3 <br />Ms. O'Brien replied, we do reporting at this point by hand. We are going to be purchasing a soflware <br />system some time this year. We are able to give actual real data on who uses what services how <br />rnany times. We have been doing that since 1978. <br />Mr. Marrie stateci, the concem for few was how many people would use it? It's an unknown. I am <br />sure you have gone through this before. Have you any idea how many seniors use it in Mayfield <br />Heights? I realize it's a much bigger city, but do you have any numbers like that? Ms. O'Brien replied, it's a much bigger city. We aze also brand new there. Many people don't even <br />lrnow still how to access us. I don't have the number. What I provided you with was an estimate of <br />a percentage with which we were guessing, was between 12-15% at that time. <br />Mr. Marrie asked, how long do you think it takes for the people to understand what is available? In <br />other words, Mayfield Heights has been in it since when, the first of the year? <br />Ms. O'Brien replied, yes. Probably about 18 months. <br />Mr. Delguyd asked, that percentage you said was the percentage of their senior population or their <br />total population? <br />Ms. O'Brien replied, the question was the percentage of the senior population that I guessed that used <br />services. Council President Buckholtz asked, once again, what municipalities are you in currently? <br /> <br />Ms. O'Brien replied, South Euclid, Lyndhurst, Highland Heights and Mayfield Heights. <br />Council President Buckholtz stated, this has great potential. We have been looldng for something like <br />this for a long time. It's just, complicated when we talk about it without some kind of advisory or <br />consulting understanding. You can tell us what's going on in other communities. We are looking to <br />see what's going to go on in ours. So I would almost be tempted to say that, do we ha.ve this on the <br />agenda tonight? <br />Mrs. Wolgamuth replied, yes. <br />Council President Buckholtz asked, and did it go through Finance? <br />Mr. Marrie replied, yes, through Finance Caucus and Finance Committee this evening. <br />Council President Buckholtz asked, and Finance approved it? <br />Mr. Marrie replied, yes.
