Kenai senior center reviews 2025 work plan, schedules site-specific emergency-plan presentation next month

Unidentified Speaker (S1) told the meeting that the senior center's 2025 work plan listed three objectives and that two appear complete while the second objective—reviewing the senior center emergency plan and identifying intergenerational programming opportunities—remains outstanding. "We had 3 objectives for last year's work plan... The only 1 that has not been done is the review emergency plan for the senior center," S1 said.

S1 said staff will prepare a summary report of accomplishments (mission, outreach, and program highlights) and will present a draft to the commission next month so the council can consider it. The speaker emphasized the discussion is informational, not a formal vote, and recommended carrying unfinished items into the 2026 work plan.

On compliance, S1 explained the emergency plan is site-specific and needed for grant compliance under the Older Americans Act/state grant process. S1 described the planned presentation as detailed and potentially two hours long. Meeting comments referenced both March 9 and March 12 as possible dates for the presentation; S1 later affirmed the next meeting date as March 12.

Staff said they will finalize a written summary of goal #1 and related accomplishments for council review. If commissioners approve the draft summary at the next meeting, staff will include the work-plan updates in the March council packet for formal consideration.

Next steps: staff (Rachel and S1) will draft the summary report for the commissioners' review next month; a site-specific emergency plan presentation will follow and, if accepted, could be recommended to the council for adoption.
