Commissioners consider trimming senior‑center funding and using liquor/park funds to close shortfalls
Summary
The board reviewed senior‑center fund balances and discussed removing the Preston senior center from the budget (a step staff said was already notified); commissioners flagged liquor/park revenue and one‑time FEMA receipts as possible offsets for small fund deficits.
Commissioners reviewed the senior‑service funds and discussed recent changes, including the removal of Preston from the senior‑center fund for 2027. One commissioner noted, "We're doing away with Way Ridge Preston," and staff confirmed the change. The presenter said that assessed‑value increases combined with small operational changes could close some small deficits and that liquor/park funds and one‑time FEMA reimbursements helped explain some prior year jumps.
Staff will adjust the packet to reflect the Preston removal and show how neighborhood‑revitalization and liquor‑fee receipts might be used to smooth short‑term deficits. Commissioners also asked for clearer line‑item labeling to avoid confusion in the final publication.
