Summary
The senior lunch program draws about 95 attendees monthly, 70% of them non-residents, but costs the city far more than its $9,000 senior budget. Council was to discuss a $3 resident/$5 non-resident meal fee starting April 2026 to help with costs and no-shows.

Impact analysis
Program costs run $22,000–$24,000 a year against a $9,000 budget; new fees could offset some of the gap.
Seniors who attend the monthly lunches, plus waitlisted residents if no-shows drop.
Non-resident seniors without Link memberships would pay $5 per meal under the proposed structure.
