Commissioner Knox welcomed Ms. Anderson, formerly of the Multi-purpose Senior Center on Yosemite. Ms. Anderson explained: the first tenants (53 seniors out of over 400 applicants) moved into the Bayview Senior Apartments in July of 1999 and the facility was dedicated and re-named the Geraldine Johnson Manor in December of the same year. The facility is a HUD 202 building with 52 one-bedroom units and one 2- bedroom unit for the resident manager. Although additional applications are not being currently received, it is anticipated to take 2-3 years to go through the present 79 applications on the waiting list.

Of the many activities Ms. Anderson plans and oversees for the seniors, she is most proud of:

- The holiday and housewarming celebrations for incoming tenants;
- Coordination of seniors activities with the Multi-purpose Senior Center;
- Free tax service;
- Monthly podiatrist service;
- $1.25 senior luncheon and Meals-on-Wheels programs;
- various in-home care services provided by several City-funded programs;
- several social outings and trips (i.e. Reno/Tahoe);
- line-dancing and various other dance and physical activities.

The current ethnic breakout of tenants is: 1 Hispanic, 6 Russian, 6 Asian, 1 Filipino, and 36 African Americans. The male-female ration is just about even.

Ms. Anderson then turned the floor over to Ms. Talansky from Bridge Mgmt. who explained the physical structure of the facility. The facility has an indoor recreation area/social hall, a large outdoor patio on the 2nd floor; parking for 19 cars and is ADA regulated throughout the facility. After a few words regarding Bridge’s other projects around the City, Ms. Talansky again thanked the Commission for the invitation and requested to be invited back for a future update.
