COMMISSION MEMORANDUM

TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission 
FROM:Commissioner Kristen Rosen Gonzalez 
DATE:June  28, 2023
 



SUBJECT:DISCUSS/TAKE ACTION: 1040 COLLINS SENIOR CENTER AMENITIES. 

BACKGROUND/HISTORY

It has come to our attention that the seniors at Council Towers North and South have not had access to their laundry rooms for over one year. Can you imagine what this means for our elderly trying to use a laundromat in this heat?

 

What can we do to get their laundry facilities reopened?

 

Also, the seniors on 5th Street used to have a lunchroom at Council Towers South (operated by Little Havana), which is now closed. We also closed the senior lunchroom at the 6th Street Community Center.

 

How can we replace these two senior lunchrooms? I would place a high priority on re-opening at least one senior lunch facility.
