Summary

Senior Center representatives reviewed a City of Pratt contract and were advised to meet with the City manager to clarify financial responsibilities because the Senior Center operates as an independent entity outside county authority.

Representatives from the Senior Center—Tara Pagenkopf, Cheryl Phye, Mike Schmidt and Sandy Hazlett—reviewed a contract provided by the City of Pratt. The commissioners advised the Senior Citizen Board and the City manager to meet to clarify financial responsibilities, usage allocations and the feasibility of the proposed agreement.

Commissioners explained the Senior Center is an independent entity and outside the county’s direct authority, so the board said it could not unilaterally resolve contract financial terms. No motion or vote was recorded; the board recommended intergovernmental discussion between the Senior Center and the City manager.
