Committee On Aging
The Committee on Aging mostly heard updates on senior services, with a side conversation about the city budget and taxes. The Senior Center reported strong meal delivery and volunteer activity, and staff highlighted a new “tiny free pantry” outside the building.
City Council budget talk spilled into the meeting: members heard about budget finalization, a projected tax base increase over the next two years, and questions about how residents can understand their tax bills—plus follow-up promised on individual water line issues.
Senior Center reported November service numbers: 1,323 home-delivered meals, 257 TRUSt car rides, and 98 volunteers (307 volunteer shifts). That’s a snapshot of how much the city’s senior support network is carrying month to month.
A new “tiny free pantry” was placed outside the Senior Center, with staff monitoring what’s taken and donated—especially in cold weather when items can freeze.
