Committee On Aging

Minutes Agenda Packet City Website ↗

The Committee on Aging mostly heard updates from partner groups and the Senior Center, with a few practical follow-ups (like safety magnets for meal routes). The only formal action was approving prior minutes; everything else was information-sharing.

Senior Center laid out a busy spring schedule and described facility upgrades in the Senior Center library (the “book nook” project with new flooring, cabinets, and shelves) plus ongoing need for the tiny free pantry—useful signals about demand and what the center is prioritizing next.

TRIAD discussed senior-safety outreach (drug take-back, door hangers, and “special number” magnets) and agreed to supply magnets for home-delivered meal routes—small, practical steps that can reduce scams and improve safety for older residents.

A City Council update flagged two issues residents may want to track: the city considering outsourcing IT after a retirement, and ongoing concerns about whether property assessments are fair as values rise (with council reviewing its process and options).

No public comments or communications recorded for this meeting.

Committee Reports
The committee heard a round of updates: ADRC events and advocacy, Senior Center programming and facility improvements, TRIAD safety efforts, and a school district realignment update. The meeting functioned more like a coordination hub than a decision-making body—useful for sharing needs (like pantry demand and safety materials), but it also means residents looking for concrete city action won’t find much beyond “noted” updates.
NEW BUSINESS
A member shared that the Rotary Club of Two Rivers Foundation will host its annual fundraiser and auction benefiting Rogers Street Fishing Village. This wasn’t a city decision, but it’s a heads-up for residents who care about local history and want to support the site.
