Council asks staff to study senior day care and ambulance subscription for 2026–27 budget
Summary
Council voted to direct staff to study feasibility of an adult (senior) day care program and an ambulance subscription (emergency membership) program for possible inclusion in the 2026–27 preliminary budget; the adult daycare study passed unanimously and the ambulance study passed with recorded variations in votes.
The council directed staff to study two new community-service proposals for potential inclusion in the 2026–27 preliminary budget.
Council Member Se asked staff to evaluate the feasibility of an adult (senior) day care center, requesting analysis of need, cost, location, funding sources and operational models; the motion, which included a friendly amendment that the report define program services, was seconded and passed 5–0.
Council Member Se also requested a feasibility study for an emergency membership program—an ambulance subscription model—to assess resident need, projected costs, administrative model, funding and partnership options. The transcript records the motion as passing with the clerk summarizing the result as "The motion passes, 4 2 0 1 abstention." Staff was asked to return recommendations with funding options.
What staff will report: potential demand, estimated start-up and ongoing costs, administrative considerations, funding sources and partner organizations, and a recommendation for council consideration during the preliminary budget process.
