Township supervisors urge action on lack of senior meals in rural Townships
Summary
Marensico and Watersmeet township supervisors told the county they pay significant millage for the GOCAA senior program but receive few meal services; commissioners advised they attend the next Gogebic-Ontonagon Community Action Agency meeting to pursue solutions.
Robert Delich, Marenisco Township supervisor, and Yvonne Clark, Watersmeet Township supervisor, addressed the board about a lack of senior meals in their townships and said their communities pay a relatively high share of the millage that funds the Gogebic-Ontonagon Community Action Agency Senior Citizens Program but see few benefits.
The supervisors said they would like to find ways to get meals into their townships. County discussion focused on practical next steps; board members suggested the supervisors attend the next GOCAA meeting to press the issue with the agency that administers the program.
