Syracuse council honors Sysua adult day care; resolution passed unanimously
Summary
The Syracuse Common Council adopted a resolution recognizing Sysua adult day care and its work serving older adults; the council voted unanimously after a reading of the resolution and brief remarks by a facility representative.
Councilor Nave introduced and the Syracuse Common Council unanimously adopted a resolution recognizing Sysua adult day care and the individual named in the resolution for efforts to serve older adults.
The resolution, introduced under item 39, says Sysua — described in the text as a social adult day care at 901 Lodi Street — provides culturally responsive, holistic programs including movie and book clubs, computer classes, group activities, field trips, door-to-door transportation, nutritious meals and snacks, exercise classes and English-language services. Councilor Nave asked to read the resolution aloud and the council voted in favor with no recorded opposition.
A representative of the facility addressed the council after the resolution was read, calling the recognition “an honor” and saying the center’s work helps people who are homebound because of language barriers, transportation and other barriers. The representative invited council members to visit the facility at 901 Lodi Street.
The resolution text as read names the individual being recognized (name shown in the meeting record); the council’s action was a ceremonial recognition and did not adopt new policy or funding. The council treated the item as a resolution for recognition and recorded a unanimous vote at the roll call.
There was no debate about policy changes or funding tied to this resolution during the meeting. The council moved on to other agenda items after the vote.
