The head administrator of Jackson County Senior Services, Judith Miyama, is considering discontinuing the housekeeping program.

program were discontinued, the van would be donated to a charitable organization. None of the general administrative overhead
would be avoided if the housekeeping program was dropped, but the liability insurance and the salary of the program administrator
would be avoided.
