In the context of recently approved funding for a renovation of a community center to accommodate senior citizens on Killeenâs north side, the issue of funding for youth programs has received renewed attention.
On Jan. 26 the Killeen City Council voted, at a cost not to exceed $543,825, to approve a professional services agreement with Randall Scott Architects, Inc., for the renovation of the Rosa Hereford Community Center, adding a senior center. This would be to replace the now-defunct Bob Gilmore Senior Center, located nearby.
The vote was 5-1, with Councilmember Mellisa Brown casting the sole vote against the agreement.
Prior to the vote at the Jan. 26 meeting, and in fact after it at the councilâs workshop this past Tuesday, concerns about sufficient funding for youth programs were raised, as well as concerns about combining a renovated senior facility with one which also has programs for youth.
