City accepts $13,440 senior employment subaward for Billy McKibben Senior Center
Summary
The commission approved Resolution 2026-097 accepting a FY27 senior employment program subaward for the Billy McKibben Senior Center; staff said the program funds one SEP employee (20 hours/week), is reimbursement-based and requires city payroll and workers’ compensation coverage.
The commission voted to accept a fiscal-year 2027 subaward to fund a Senior Employment Program (SEP) position at the Billy McKibben Senior Center. Staff said SEP participants must be 55 or older, not already employed, and limited to 20 hours per week; the grant funds are reimbursement-based and require the city to provide payroll and workers' compensation coverage for participants. "I think the grant is $13,440 for the year for 1 SEP, personnel," staff said when describing initial funding levels.
Commissioners asked about program parameters and accountability; staff said performance evaluations and eligibility checks are part of the program, and that if the city can't spend the funds they would be reallocated. The commission approved Resolution 2026-097 and encouraged staff to begin outreach when ready.
