IWGE 8 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER S, 1960 TESTY TALK BY SENIORS, 708 (Continued from page 1) treasurer, added, "We recognize the obligation and will take care of it," but further conversation in- dicated that payment might take some time, up to several years. Dirk Voetberg, board member, also pointed out in response to council questions, "We're not sure if we can negotiate the amount." Polly Hobbet, council vice- president, added, "We're all civilized people and are interested in the Senior Citizens council or we wouldn't be here tonight." The meeting between the two groups began on an adversary tone as Schneider opened by asking, "How do we save the (mental health) program and have we agreed on what is to be done? Is it viable and worth saving?" Lundemo protested, "That is not the substance of your invitation. The subject was the extent of (our) non­ compliance, (with the 706 contract) and what it comprises." Schneider noted, "Your audit is evidence of non­ compliance, but the only contractual relationship is in regard to the 706 money. There is none with the (NIMH) grant money." He noted that these other contracts had expired in June of this year. Lundemo pressed for specifics of the non­ compliance and noted that the council had provided the r e q u i r e d f i n a n c i a l statements every month. But he conceded the statement from the CPA audit was furnished late because of the difference in their accounting years. Voetberg pointed out, "Transmittal of pieces of paper is not good enough. They are not substantiated by the audit. The tran­ sactions are not verifiable. The numbers (on the reports) should mean something." Schneider asked if Lun­ demo was asking for in­ formation to make corrections or was he trying to defend the Seniors' position. Board attorney John Bolger read from the Seniors' contract with the board the items which made them accountable for funds, and required accuracy in reporting, itemization of expenditures^ furnishing supporting documents, maintaining payroll records a n d a u t h o r i z a t i o n s , vouchers, checks and receipts. He noted that audit indicated that the seniors did not have books or records, only the checkbook There were no supporting documents. Lundemo asked, "How detailed do you want us to get?" Schneider said, "You should follow the manual procedures with the proper accounting. We can accept this." Ludemo pointed out, "We were the ones who furnished you the information (about the $60,000 shortfall) which led to the Seniors' difficulties." Schneider asked agalii7 "Does the council board of directors believe the (m.h.) program is viable and should be continued?" Lundemo said the Seniors hadn't taken any action on it. But his personal opinions about the program, which were fully and accurately reported from their last meeting, were unchanged. Morefield added that they have had serious ongoing meetings with state agencies since the Seniors' last meeting to deal with their many financial problems. They haven't made any headway in talks about the mental health program. He acknowledged that it had not been handled as it should. They now believe that they have to assess it in a dif­ ferent light, he added. He said some Seniors feel the framework (for the mental health service) left much to be desired and wonder if the same service could be furnished at a reasonable cost in a different manner. They are not ready to say yes or no for its continuation. Morefield said they had a lot of responsibility in their own programs which had not been fully under control. Lundemo told the 706 board "Now we're a new board and we're playing by new rules. We're going to take a hard look at everything in the counci's realm and be hardnoeed about it. Schneider said "We realize that the mental health program is only part of the total Senior programs. Outboard taking it over will relieve you of one of these problems." He noted that this could only be a tem­ porary arrangement lasting not more than two years. "Then, if you want it, we can return it. But we don't want to take control without some agreement from your board." He reassured than, "We're not trying to punish the Senior Citizens' council, but only to relieve you if you want us to. But we can't wait six months for a decision." He noted that the contract # for the 706 mental Health program expired on Nov. 30 anyway. Morefield noted, "If you take it over, your people could advise us if it is viable and worthwhile." Schneider admitted, "We've had reservations for the past year because the program was not reaching more people than it has. Maybe that's with the in­ ternal problems. Maybe the program hasn't had a fair chance. We're not ready to scrap it at this point. We'd like to give the program another chance. Maybe there are not the right people in the program, but we don't know. If (in the future) it doesn't meet the criteria, it will be scrapped. With our control it will be harder to judge than if it was under yours." Mrs. Hobbet asked, "Was there any prior evaluation of this program?" Lundemo said he un­ derstood that the goal of numbers, to receive treat­ ment had at some point been reduced to 96. He also un­ derstood that the board had a report of a federal on-site evaluation and wondered what it was Schneider noted that the federal evaluation was for all programs administered by the 706 board. And he indicated that the board's reservation about the mental health program for the Seniors was not for the need, but for its success. Lundemo commented that if it failed, it was hot due to the internal dissension of the seniors. Ann Patla, assistant director for the 706 board, at the request of committee members was called into the meeting and she advised on the establishment of the Seniors mental health program two years ago when it was to provide for treat­ ment of 240 persons during the first year but only 27 sought assistance, according to official records. The goal was then reduced to 96 per year. These factors were not considered in the on-site evaluation, she said. In setting up programs they project one thing and reality does not always support the proposals, she added. Morefield said he could see the board's willingness to work with the council and agreed that 706 should take over the Seniors' mental health program. "If we take it back depends on the facts from you. If it is viable it could be operated by us, but we are going to give it a hard look at its return." Board member Clint Claypool noted that there were nine people on the council's board of directors and woqdered if the com­ mittee was expressing their consensus. In seeking to determine what the council's future relationship would be to the 706 Board, Lundemo asked, "If you terminate our fun­ ding from the NIMH (National Institute of Mental Health), will that release any claims you have on our group?" He said the answer would be of interest to the Seniors' directors. Schneider said the 706 board couldn't write them a release, they had an obligation to account for the money used. Lundemo noted that the council had about $48,000 to pay (federal obligations) and there were more hands out than at a bill collectors' convention. He asked if the board was going to sue them for the amount due.

What can you do about this?" Morefield said that Region Two of the Area Agency on Aging had not cut them off and he estimated that the bottom line on the Senior's budget would be in excess of $300,000. He added that they couldn't pay anything until they get the budget to work with. They have to show a source of income to pay their pre-existing obligations. When they get the budget, then they expect to open the doors of the centers. The directors have been spen­ ding their time on this agreement with the Area Agency on Aging. "We are here because we're con­ cerned and we'll probably be here again," Morefield promised. Claypool asked, "Then you've talked about this in your budget?" Lundemo, "Absolutely not." But Morefield reassured the 708 board, "We hope to take care of this if it takes 20 years." Deaths LORRAINE RAVEN Lorraine Jean Raven, 4909 W.
