Commissioners release $40,000 in senior-services funding to Boardman Senior Center
Summary
The board approved releasing $40,000 budgeted for senior-services support to the Boardman Senior Center to help building upgrades and program support; payment was authorized immediately.
The Morrow County Board of Commissioners approved releasing $40,000 in senior‑services funding to the Boardman Senior Center and authorized issuance of the payment.
Karen Pettigrew, representing the Boardman Senior Center, told commissioners the center is recovering attendance after the COVID‑19 pandemic and needs facility updates including replacement of multiple household freezers with one commercial unit. Pettigrew described volunteer support and a recent donation of volunteer labor as part of local coordination.
County staff said the amount was included in the fiscal‑year budget as part of expanded senior-program funding: the county moved $40,000 previously provided to South Morrow County Seniors into a more permanent funding source and budgeted an additional $80,000 to distribute geographically to other senior centers. Commissioners approved a motion to release $40,000 to the Boardman Senior Center and amended the motion to authorize immediate payment.
The motion carried on a voice vote; commissioners did not record a roll‑call tally in the transcript.
