Re: Recommendation
Senior Center Facility
During this difficult financial period, We have asked our department managers to
make budget recommendations. Many of these recommendations we will accept or modify
prior to implementation.
However, there is one that is totally unacceptable to me. I will not support any
reduction of the Senior Center Facility that is dedicated for senior activities.
It is one of our most successful programs in terms of activities and attendance.
Every room and suite must remain available for the seniors in our community. City funds
provided for the Senior Center are a small part of our$20 million budget. We must not
diminish the quality of the program.
With our focused efforts, we will find a suitable location for the Building Department.
To provide alternative facilities will cost us an estimated $7,750 per year for two years.
Certainly the savings are not worth the burden that will be placed on the Senior Center.
I urge you to join me in maintaining the present status of the Senior Center.
