• Feedback Summary:
Feedback included items such as build a larger facility than what exists today at the Senior Center, with the understanding that Redmond’s existing recreation spaces are already underserving its senior population, as well as other demographic groups. Future growth is expected and needs to be addressed by considering future demand and trends that keep our community healthy, active, and connected across neighborhoods, ages and cultures.

Funding source(s):
CIP $15M, request direct appropriation from State Legislature $5M, possible partnerships, and Councilmanic bonds. Models of community investment (solar panels) are also being discussed.
Budget/Funding Constraints:
In the 2020 CIP, there is currently $15M set aside for renovation of the Senior Center. Council has directed Staff to use this $15M for demolition and to begin design. Staff has prioritized this project in the 2021-2026 CIP and continued to identify the original $15M set aside for this project in the CIP. Additionally, the CIP also factors in debt service after the construction to pay for the remainder of the construction. The City will be seeking a state appropriation for this project.
