Their concerns prompted the need for a community impact study which would determine the current services available to senior citizens, the needs of the elderly, as well as the gaps which exist within the community. Richard Sewell explained what would be included in the study and how long it would take to complete. He will be looking for indicators in the available data which would give the information needed for the current and future needs of the elderly. Mr. Willis asked how much staff support would be needed for the study and Mr. Sewell assured him it would be minimal and would only include gathering information on current services available to the seniors. Committee of the Wig le - page 2 January 26, 1988 The trustees asked about Mr. Sewell's role in proposing solutions to problems and needs as indicated by the study. Pat McHale said the Board of Health would review the study and come up with solutions and proposals to the problems that exist. Mr. Zettek said if the study goes a little over the $2,500 currently allocated that this would be covered by the Village. The main thrust is to get a complete and meaningful study. The trustees were in agreement that the Impact Study should be pursued.
