Issaquah city officials had already severed ties with the operators of the Issaquah Senior Center. Now they know what senior services will look like after defunding Issaquah Valley Seniors.

The Issaquah City Council unanimously authorized the city’s reinvestment plan for senior services Monday night.

The plan would honor existing contracts with nonprofits for senior services and begin several programs out of the Issaquah Community Center, such as a lunch club, a walking program and a fitness class. The initial programs will buy time for city staff to research further programs and services for seniors over the course of 2016.

Councilmember Tola Marts praised the budgeting for the plan.

“We have $100,000 for programs, $20,000 for administration and the part I particularly like is that we have $44,000 in reserve,” Marts said. “I think it’s extremely prudent.”

The reinvestment plan is funded by $164,000 from the city budget initially slated for funding and a comprehensive audit of Issaquah Valley Seniors. The City Council ordered an audit in December, then cut funding in January, following a year-long public dispute between the nonprofit and several senior center members.

Issaquah Valley Seniors continues to hold the lease on the city-owned senior center. It remains operating on Northeast Creek Way.
