Deputy City Manager Jeff Balentine told council that the Senior Center audit recommends the city not use the current Senior Center facility and instead utilize the old city hall building; city staff will need to follow up on next steps.

Deputy City Manager Jeff Balentine reported to the council on Sept. 18 that staff presented results from a recent audit of the Granite Falls Senior Center and that staff recommend not using the current Senior Center facility going forward.

Balentine said staff recommend using the old city hall building instead of the audited Senior Center facility. The council did not take a final, formal action to close or repurpose the Senior Center during the Sept. 18 meeting; the report and staff recommendation were recorded in the meeting packet and presented at the meeting.
