Washington Terrace City Council approves senior services agreement with Weber Human Services

The Washington Terrace City Council made significant strides in supporting local seniors during their recent meeting on May 20, 2025. The council unanimously approved an interlocal agreement with Weber Human Services, ensuring the continuation of vital senior services at the community's senior center.

Council members expressed their appreciation for the efforts of Mayor and staff in navigating the complexities of this agreement, which has been a collaborative effort involving neighboring South Ogden. The partnership emerged after South Ogden closed its own senior center, prompting them to offer financial support to Washington Terrace. This cooperation is seen as a crucial step in alleviating the burden on Washington Terrace while enhancing services for seniors.

The senior center, now operating on a part-time schedule, has seen positive changes under the leadership of Director Cheryl. She has successfully increased participation by introducing a variety of engaging activities, fostering a welcoming environment for seniors. Council members noted the importance of social interaction for the mental and physical well-being of the community's elderly residents.

In addition to the senior services discussion, council members highlighted the positive feedback from residents regarding local sports programs, particularly praising the contributions of staff member Carlos. As the community looks forward to upcoming events like Terrace Days, the council remains focused on enhancing recreational opportunities for all residents.

The meeting underscored the council's commitment to addressing community needs through collaboration and proactive governance, ensuring that Washington Terrace continues to be a supportive environment for its seniors and families alike.
