▶ 10:52 Leila Migliorelli: Great. So, next up is order 2023 dash 99. Acceptance of the Foundation Trust Partnership Grant in the amount of 10,000 for the Melrose Council on Aging. Tonight we have the Director of the Council on Aging Aging. Stacy Mano here to speak on this order. Welcome, Stacy.
▶ 11:15 Speaker 7: Good evening. Good evening, counsel. You can hear me. All right. So, um, we're excited to say that the Consulate Aging has received the Foundation Trust grant for $10,000. That is to furnish the, uh, pavilion, uh, with, uh, media speakers, uh, commercial grade, uh, outside tv, uh, the wifi lines and, um, tables and chairs. Furniture's important. And then there's some room in the budget there for decor to help us with some staging and block off the back ledge of the patio. So we're pretty excited about it.
▶ 11:57 Speaker 7: I didn't know if there were any questions or
▶ 12:00 Leila Migliorelli: Thank you. Are there any questions from the council?
▶ 12:06 Speaker 1: Vice Chair? Jamine?
▶ 12:09 Maya Jamaleddine: Thank you, Madam Chair. Um, Ms. Michelle, I just wanted to thank you for your effort on getting this grant. And I know how much this is gonna help our, um, um, um, senior, uh, population, uh, to have at least a benefit from our summer days and, um, late days. Also. Um, I don't know if we can call it summer, but, um, yeah, what does look like Summer. So thank you so much for all the effort and I hope that everyone will be able to enjoy it. Um, with everything that we are having, do we know when are we going to be able to do all those improvements?
▶ 12:51 Speaker 7: Uh, good news is the, um, electrician is, uh, meeting is for tomorrow to set up the plan. So we're hoping, obviously we're going into the 4th of July, but I'm hoping that the trenching and the actual electrical work will be done no later than the second week in July because I can't execute the foundation trust until the LEC electrical work is done. So, and all the equipment for the, uh, foundation trust grant is actually in the shopping cart. So once I get the dates, we're just gonna click, um, accept delivery, and then be, we should be rolling, I'd like to say by the end of July, which is great, cuz then we can have at least August, September, early October. Yeah. Long time coming,
▶ 13:35 Maya Jamaleddine: Hopefully. And, and, um, for the, the material that is gonna be outside, do we have a plan to store it? And during the winter,
▶ 13:45 Speaker 7: Yes. Uh, we have a full shed that we've, uh, cleaned out of the old furniture. Um, we were very, uh, specific about it being durable enough and, um, sufficient for older adults, but also stackable, storing. The only, um, task come the winter would be that the, uh, tabletops have to be unscrewed for storage, which to us is not a big deal as far as the, uh, the speakers will be permanent. There'll be commercial outside, uh, with locking mechanisms. And the tv, uh, the bracket is permanent and there'll be a cover for, um, when we're closed off hours. But it'll have an easy two-person remove system where we can actually just unclick it and bring it inside if we think the weather's gonna be terrible.
