Commission appoints Allison; senior-center cooking and storage concerns flagged
Summary
The board appointed Allison to a volunteer board and heard senior-center members raise sanitation and storage concerns — commissioners said cooking without certification will not be permitted and asked staff to send an official letter and schedule a cleanout.
The board confirmed the appointment of Allison to a local board by voice vote after a motion and second. During the meeting the senior-citizen committee described needed changes at the center, including plumbing limitations for a proposed kitchen sink and a lack of storage space for decorations and folding tables. Commissioners said the county will not allow cooking at the center without proper certification and recommended an official written notice to the center manager.
Speakers described cluttered cupboards and excess folding tables that limit usable space; several commissioners recommended a spring or fall cleanup and suggested the county could help identify storage or dispose of items that are no longer used. The board asked staff to prepare a formal letter about the prohibition on unsanitary food preparation and to place facility follow-up on the October agenda.
