Platteville Meal Site
Reid met with the City of Platteville and attended a Platteville Commission on Aging about the relocation
of the meal site. Kopp stated that the City is moving forward with a new fire station at the current meal
site location. The City is looking into a space at City Hall that could potentially be used by the Platteville
Senior Center and the meal site but there would need to be some remodeling/construction done. Reid
will continue to talk and work with the Senior Center and City about potential outcomes.
Meal Cost
Reid discussed the meal cost tool that is required to be done every year. It was required to do three
costs: carryout meals, home-delivered meals, and congregate meals. Reid explained that carryout and
home-delivered meals are part of the same program and funding source so she refigured the cost
including those components resulting in $13.07 per meal. This meal cost is used for the reimbursement
from long-term care programs.
Bell/Kopp: Motion to approve the meal cost of $13.07 per meal. Motion carried.
Dispose of Buses – 2008 Supreme, 2011 Star Trans, 2006 Ford

condition either. Reid stated that the buses would most likely go to the Wisconsin Surplus Auction.
