COA says items on Senior Center "free" table become takers' property; no control after removal
During comments at the July 2018 meeting (exact day not specified), an attendee reported that items removed from the Senior Center's "free" table were being resold at private tag sales. The minutes record the concern but do not name the speaker beyond the attendee list.

J. Zienowicz responded that the COA has no authority to control what people do with items after they leave the building and that the items become the taker's property. The minutes record this clarification but do not describe any subsequent policy action.
