Council discusses interlocal agreement for Roy Senior Center; staff to coordinate contributions from neighboring cities
Summary
Council reviewed an interlocal agreement with Weber Human Services for operations of the Royce senior center and discussed the city’s $4,000 contribution plus potential contributions from Hooper and West Haven; staff will coordinate final agreements and said the contract language may require Royce to collect funds for others.
Councilmembers on May 6 discussed a proposed interlocal agreement with Weber Human Services to support operations at the Royce senior center. Staff reported Royce provides facility support and an annual in‑kind value (cited in the meeting as approximately $85,000 in facility support), and Weber Human Services administers meal and program services.
Weber Human Services asked municipal partners to contribute operating funds. Staff reported Hooper and West Haven indicated willingness to contribute $4,000 each, matching Royce’s planned $4,000. Royce staff raised concerns that the draft agreement as written would obligate Royce to collect and forward the full combined amount rather than the partner cities paying Weber Human Services directly; staff said a small portion of the agreement’s payment terms (notably an annual CPI or 3% contractual increase) appeared asymmetrical and requested clarification.
Councilmembers discussed principle versus practicality — some members were concerned about Royce acting as the fiscal conduit for other cities’ contributions, but others emphasized the community benefit to seniors and supported moving forward. Staff said the contract term proposed is short (three years) and the dollar amounts are modest; council members signaled support for the program and asked staff to coordinate with Hooper and West Haven to finalize interlocal commitments and ensure Weber Human Services’ administrative terms were equitable.
Council did not execute the agreement at the May 6 meeting but directed staff to proceed with outreach and finalize the interlocal arrangements for consideration at a subsequent meeting.
