Council limits senior meal delivery to within five mapped miles of Senior Center
Summary
Councilmember Heather Schoning moved and the council approved an amendment to deliver senior meals only within five mapped miles of the Senior Center after discussing meal options and services for seniors living beyond that radius.
At the July 16 meeting the Glendo Town Council amended a prior motion to limit home-delivered senior meals to residents living within five mapped miles of the Senior Center.
Councilmember Heather Schoning said she spoke with Jeni Desmith from Services for Seniors about offering pedicures and discussed options for delivering meals to residents who live more than five miles from town. Schoning moved to amend her earlier motion and limit delivery to a five-mile mapped radius from the Senior Center; Kelly Jones seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
The transcript does not record specific delivery costs, eligibility criteria beyond the distance, or which agency will operate the deliveries; the council discussion referenced transportation and meal options but did not record additional funding or program implementation details. Follow-up action is expected to include staff coordination with Services for Seniors and clarification of mapped boundaries.
