Committee approves $35,000 transfer to support senior center operations
Summary
The committee recommended a $35,000 transfer from contingency to the National Association for the Elderly (senior center). Former city treasurer and current senior center treasurer David Ferdette described typical uses for the funds and the committee voted unanimously to advance the transfer.
Committee members recommended a $35,000 transfer from general contingency to provide funding to the National Association for the Elderly, which operates the senior center. Alderman Dowd introduced David Ferdette, who said the funds are typically used for building improvements and a small rainy-day savings account: "The first thing we do is we place $5,000 in a savings account, for a rainy day," Ferdette said.
Members said they have supported the center for years and approved the transfer by unanimous committee vote. Alderman Tebow said the city previously included similar funding in budget cycles and supported advancing the supplemental to the full Board.
