The senior center project does not have a near-term construction timeline, based on the mayor’s position reported to the board. Parks and Recreation supports exploring both a dedicated senior center and a broader multi-use facility, but no new project or feasibility study was approved at this meeting. The board also reviewed FY27 budget scenarios, noting that the COA’s approximately $284,000 budget represents about 0.5% of the city’s $65 million overall budget.
