Commissioner Bridget King provided a City Council update on a proposal to purchase a former funeral home property to relocate the Service Department, a move the council is considering to address storage and infrastructure needs. King reported that nearby residents have expressed opposition, citing concerns about noise and the suitability of the location.
King outlined alternatives discussed by council members, including moving the Senior Center (which she said would be costly) or relocating services outside the city (which officials viewed as less desirable).
