The Director noted that this will be a permanent position and that <br /> the Outreach Worker will monitor the elders in Mashpee and that all elders in <br /> Mashpee will be surveyed by telephone and entered into a computer. This will <br /> enable the Council to inform them if they are eligible for any assistance <br /> programs and health programs or other available programs. w <br /> The second Council on Aging Article seeks the Town to create the position <br /> of part-time clerk, for 18 hours a week. The total cost of this Article is <br /> $6,183. <br /> The Director noted that the Council on Aging facility is in constant use <br /> by other groups and organizations in town.

Vern <br /> noted that it is illegal to request a fee or set a rate as the building was <br /> built by State and Federal funds.
