I am responding to recent letters to the editor regarding the need for permanent senior citizen facilities. The present City Council has, as one of their major goals, the funding for a permanent space for senior citizen activities. Whether it is funded by agreements, bond proceeds, capital funding, grants, loans, donations, or other sources are the on-going responsibility of the council to review and approve. All available funding mechanisms are in place and have not been compromised.
