Senior Center director: donations lag and packet error caused numbers confusion
Summary
Senior Center director said donations year-to-date are about $35,000 and explained packet confusion after an early worksheet showing $125,000 was mistakenly included; staff said they will reissue the correct packet and provide updated figures.
The Senior Center director told the council that year-to-date donations are "about 35,000," and explained the center's outreach and relocation disrupted fundraising. Council members flagged multiple worksheet versions in the meeting packet — one early worksheet listed $125,000 and appeared to have been included in the packet in error.
Staff acknowledged the mistake: a finance representative said the $125,000 worksheet "was the first one we worked on" and "never did" go into the formal packet, and confirmed the latest packet would be provided to councilors. The director said the center anticipates higher donations once it fully reopens the new center and that some discrepancies stem from in-kind donation lines.
Councilors asked for corrected materials and clarification of which figures should be used in budget deliberations; staff agreed to supply a corrected worksheet and copies of the up-to-date packet.
