� � r <br />Mr. Zorc commented that they now have 98 apartments at <br />St. Francis Manor, and their site plan is complete. In thinking <br />of possibilities for the future, Mr. Zorc stated that they have an <br />interest in the old jail property whenever the County decides to <br />phase it out. He suggested that the County might think of using <br />grant money as a means of financing a facility for senior citizens. <br />Mr. Zorc felt this location would be ideal for a senior citizen <br />i - <br />center, and the remainder of land could be purchased or leased to <br />the Manor for more apartments. Mr. Zorc discussed the possibility <br />of renovating the old jail to make it into a convalescent home, <br />instead of their residents having to go -into a nursing home when <br />they are no longer ambulatory. <br />Lengthy discussion followed about the time frame - the <br />final application must be completed in 30 days with the Council on <br />Aging, and grant funds must be used by December 31st of this year. <br />It was determined that there was little time to consider using <br />those funds. <br />Vice Chairman Wodtke suggested that since Mr. Zorc's letter <br />of February 3, 1981 is part of the record, when the jail property <br />becomes available, St. Francis Manor then would be under consideration <br />as a prime prospect for utilization of the old jail building. <br />Commissioner Bird commented that he would like to see a <br />senior citizens center, but the timing now is bad, with the 30 day <br />deadline. He did not think the County could meet it. <br />Mr. Zorc suggested the Board explore the possibility <br />of contacting the proper agencies to determine if they would consider <br />a contract for a building that would not be phased out for possibly <br />three years. <br />Vice Chairman Wodtke commented that he would talk to the <br />Council on Aging regarding this matter. <br />NOV 181981 <br />13 <br />BOOK 43 PAv144 <br />
