Minutes of the Organizational Meeting of Council <br />Monday, January 12; 2015 <br />Page 7 . <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Marquardt stated, I still don't have a feel for how the dollars are racked up. The only two <br />items I see on here is 56 hours of social work, 7.5 hours of computer tutoring. How do you get <br />to the $37,000? Nothing tracks anything. <br />Ms. Wolgamuth replied, the Community Partnership has to be able to provide service. All of the <br />services they offer they have to be ready to provide them to all of the communities assuming that <br />everyone would actually utilize them. They have to have a nuxnber of social workers on staff. <br />They have their volunteer and chore people. All of them are there ready to respond whether or <br />not we utilize them. She takes her budget for the year and then she divides it by those <br />percentages she shows. Because our population is 5.15% of the collective, that's the percentage <br />we pay of her budget. Her whole budget is $720,000. We are paying 5.15% of that. <br />Mr. Marquardt asked, what is our percentage of the usage? <br />Ms. Wolgamuth replied, lower than that.

Each city's participation percentage was the <br />12-20%. <br />Mr. Jerome stated, that's all of our seniors, the percentage of them using it, is that how it is based <br />off of? <br />Mr. Saponaro added, so it's 12% of all of our seniors? <br />Ms. Wolgamuth replied, seniors, yes. <br />Mr. Saponaro asked, if we have 100 seniors, 12 of them are utilizing it? <br />Ms. Wolgamuth replied, at the last census, we had 1072 seniors. Of that 1072, 99 at this point <br />are using it. <br />Mr. Saponaro asked, how does Stacy account for people who are homebound, in terms of getting <br />the word out? What do they do in other communities? <br />Ms. Wolgamuth replied, direct mailings. Typically those people have someone who is caring for <br />them, if it's their children or a caretaker. They would be hopefully aware of the services offered. <br />Mr. Saponaro asked, can you ask that question directly and find out what they actually do? I <br />know in a community in Lake County, it's a smaller community but they have volunteers, they
