Board members from the Columbus Senior Center program met with City Council members Feb. 8 to address a lease agreement that governs the senior group’s use of city space.
The agreement is due for renewal soon, as the lease’s initial three-year term began in April 2014. The senior center board had decided then to end the program’s operation as a function of the annual city budget. The senior program got its start with federal grant funds in 1982.
The existing lease has called for the senior program to pay annual rent of $3,600 to the city for use of the community center space adjacent to council chambers. The rent has been offset by a share of annual community funds that Columbus receives from Running Aces Harness Park.
The senior program has also reimbursed the city for utilities along with 25 percent of costs related to trash pickup and septic services.
