Title

OFFICIAL DESIGNATION OF MARY ANN YOUNG CENTER AND TOM RYAN ROOM

 

Background

The Senior Advisory Council has discussed what to name the new facility replacing the current Mary Ann Young Senior Center.   The Senior Advisory Council has recommended to the City Council to name the new facility the Mary Ann Young Center.   The change in the name recognizes that there will be space in the new facility that will be available to all residents and end some confusion that it is a residential facility.

 

In addition, the Senior Advisory Council is recommending naming the Dining Hall/Activity Room the Tom Ryan Room in recognition of his many contributions to senior citizens and the Senior Center over the years.

 

Recommendation

By Motion, Officially adopt Mary Ann Young Center as the name of the new senior facility and name the dining hall/activity room the Tom Ryan Room.
