Committee assigns Senior Tax Work-Off volunteer to brick orders and event support
Summary
A volunteer in the Senior Tax Work-Off program, Joyce, began tracking hours and will support brick order entry, raised bed gardening and other tricentennial tasks; committee clarified timekeeping and program processing.
Joyce, a participant in the Senior Tax Work-Off program, told the Tricentennial Committee May 7 that she will complete roughly 100 hours between now and March and will help with brick-order entry, gardening planters and event staffing.
Joyce said she “started when I retired” and described prior service on the Council on Aging. Committee members explained the program’s paperwork process: time sheets are signed and forwarded to the senior center and assessor’s office for processing. A committee member said, “either I can sign Joyce's time sheets…or you can…then I forward it to the…senior center where they are processed by another volunteer.”
The committee identified Patty as the current lead on entering engraved-brick orders into the vendor website and said Joyce will be trained on that process. Committee discussion noted about “60, 65” brick orders currently in the system and a longer-term sales goal of 300 bricks. Members emphasized verifying handwritten orders against the vendor entry to ensure accuracy.
Committee members also raised the need to confirm tax-work-off program rules and any fundraising or solicitation limits; one committee member said they would “verify that with the finance director just to be sure.” The committee discussed that the Time Work-Off hours are voluntary service hours and that the Council on Aging and assessor’s office handle program paperwork.
