2003-04, only it will be about $1,000 less due to more senior centers
receiving grant funding. We have more regular rentals — AA, NA, plus
starting in May will have kids kung fu classes three times a week.

Recreation Director: Department is being reorganized under the
"Community Services Department." This includes Recreation, Public
Works, Performing Arts, Housing & Redevelopment. Steve Donley to head
this (M. Grice acting head until Steve returns from active duty). May be
some layoffs due to deficit — more info will be available after the next City
Council meeting. The City is selling the stadium lands, wine center (new

**Other Items for Discussion**
Pat Cassinelli brought up a discussion she had with Mayor Vidak-Martinez
re: hungry seniors, and suggestions to help solve this problem. Brown Bag
program now is only once a month at the Senior Center, having moved the
4th Weds, pick up to the Community Center. Many seniors do not have
transportation. Suggested to get all organizations together to coordinate
someone to pickup-deliver for them.

library.
