Senior center attendance steady; total meals slightly down year-over-year, rec units up
Summary
The senior center reported steady daily attendance compared with the prior year, a roughly 500 decrease in total meals year-over-year (staff noted seconds/leftovers affect counts), and an increase of about 1,000 recreation units.
Mike Potter presented the senior center’s year-end report and said daily attendance has remained consistent while total meals served declined by roughly 500 compared with the prior year. Potter said the decline may reflect second‑meal distributions (residents receiving seconds when food remains) rather than fewer diners.
He reported an increase in total recreation units—about 1,000 more unit counts—and said the center’s other usage metrics have remained largely stable since the COVID period. Potter praised city custodial and facilities staff for maintenance work and said the new park facilities and pickleball courts are already in use by residents. He added that the center is preparing to loan pickleball equipment to seniors and expects park completion to support additional senior events.
Ending: Council members thanked Potter and staff; no council action was required.
