Carol Gilchrist and Kathy Buddha addressed the council about the Sargent County Senior Center's volunteer-run operations, services and outreach to county residents, including meals, activities and newsletters.

Councilmember moved to approve a $400 contract-for-services payment to the senior center; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
What happens next: Staff will process the payment under the city's contract-for-services framework.
