Wymore approves $1,320 match to Blue Rivers Area Agency on Aging after service briefing
Summary
After a presentation on transportation and meals programs that serve Wymore residents, the council approved $1,320 in matching funds for Blue Rivers Area Agency on Aging and confirmed the agency will provide updates on a planned clinic.
Amy Mason and Beth Williams, representing Blue Rivers Area Agency on Aging, told the Wymore City Council about services the agency provides to residents, including transportation beyond Beatrice to Lincoln and Omaha and a meals program delivered by volunteers. They said most insurance companies will cover transportation to medical appointments and described efforts to restore dining-room options to help socialization.
Council Member Neil Van Boening moved and Sue Sapp seconded a motion to provide $1,320 in matching funds to Blue Rivers Area Agency on Aging; the motion carried 4-0. The council recorded that Blue Rivers will return in September to give an update on the planned clinic and other services.
The match is intended to support transportation and meal services for Wymore residents; the city did not record further budget details in the transcript. The council asked staff to follow usual disbursement procedures for small grants and to request reporting from Blue Rivers if required.
