Staff: Senior center will be open five days a week after funding clarification
Summary
Staff reported a management/funding clarification with Mister Snowden means the senior center should remain open five days a week; staff cautioned similar promises have not always lasted and said they will 'stay on them.'
An unidentified staff member told the Senior Resident Advisory Committee on Jan. 12 that the senior center will be open five days a week after a recent change in facility management and a funding clarification.
The staff member said a turnover in who runs the facility and a misunderstanding about whether the committee and Saint Peter's provided funding led to frequent early closures in the past. "Mister Snowden fixed that problem where they now understand that we are also giving them money, so it's not just Saint Peter's doing it," the staff member said, while adding that prior assurances have not always held: "They should be open 5 days a week from here on out, but I've said that before, and it's hasn't always been that case." Committee members asked staff to monitor the schedule and follow up if the center reverts to reduced hours.
This announcement was recorded as an operational update; no formal motion or vote was taken on the subject.
