The Humboldt Senior Citizen Center at 67 1st Ave. S. in Humboldt could be operated by the city at some point in the future. That was one of topics of discussion at Monday’s Humboldt City Council meeting.
Humboldt City Administrator Travis Goedken said he recently had a discussion with one of the members of the Senior Citizens Center Board. The member related that membership in the organization is declining, and it is sometimes difficult to gather enough board members for meetings, and difficult to recruit new members to serve on the board.
The building has been operated for a number of years as a meeting place for area senior citizens, where they gather for cards, social activities and luncheon events over the years.
The building and property is city-owned. A 40-year lease with the senior citizen group expires in November 2023.
