At the July 2018 meeting (exact day not specified), the Council on Aging reviewed and approved changes to the Senior Center lunch policy designed to accommodate patrons with financial need. The COA agreed on a three-tier rate system to make lunches more affordable while keeping the full price at $2.75 per meal.
The policy replaces gift certificates and pre-paid meals with a coupon booklet. The minutes state the policy will take effect Aug. 1, 2018; patrons will pay $2.75 at the front desk unless deemed eligible for Financial Relief by submitting an application to Maire Brighid Bresnahan for review. The adoption was approved by motion (moved by J. Ciejka; recorded as "all in favor").
