This membership includes various perks and discounts while visiting the senior center and participation in its programs. In November 2023 the Board formed an Ad Hoc Committee and presented an updated membership format, which was approved at the March 2024 meeting. Staff implemented the new membership structure January 1, 2025 with the theme “Living Life Vibrantly,” utilizing the Ad Hoc Committee’s recommendations and program structure, which includes the expiration of all memberships on December 31 each year. DISCUSSION: To foster more community input and impact, staff want to involve current senior center membership holders in the selection of the 2026 Membership Theme. This way seniors have direct input in what theme best speaks to their own community and be proud to be part of the San Bruno Community Center’s Community of Care that we are fostering, in addition to the other benefits membership provides. Items that will need to be identified: 1. Theme, for example- a. 2025 - Living Life Vibrantly b. Timeless Together c. Joyful Journeys d. Life is a Beautiful Journey 2. Commemorative item a. 2025 – Tote bag 3. Potential logo ideas, for example- a. 2025 - Turtle and stars b. Color (One-color design options are best) 4. Card Design 5. Additional membership theme ideas as needed Item 6c Page 9 of 23 In addition, a timeline will need to be outlined and followed to allow for presentation and finalization of ideas with enough time to order supplies and setup the system for renewals. Based on the needs outlined above, City staff is recommending the formation of an ad-hoc subcommittee comprising of no more than three board members to work collaboratively with staff to create and implement a program for current senior membership holders to select the 2026 Senior Center Membership theme. FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact is associated with this report. RECOMMENDATION: Form an ad-hoc subcommittee comprising of no more than three board members to work collaboratively with staff to create and implement a program for current senior membership holders to select the 2026 Senior Center Membership theme. ALTERNATIVES: Do not form an ad hoc subcommittee, and staff will create and implement a program for 2026 Senior Center Membership theme. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Since COVID, the garden area has suffered from lack of care and interest from patrons and volunteers, which has led to the area looking unkept, dirty, and in generally poor condition. DISCUSSION: There have been a significant number of requests via suggestion box, informal conversation with city staff, and at previous Senior Advisory Board meetings, asking for the current garden area to become a picnic area where patrons can watch bocce, or a small butterfly/herb garden. Based on these requests, City Staff would like input from the board on recommendations to: 1. Remove the fencing from the area 2. Completely remove all current plants in ground and replace with grass 3. Add 1-3 standing height planter boxes for herbs/seasonal flowers 4. Create a space for people to enjoy lunch outside The goal is to still have a small area that patrons can garden, while also reclaiming the unused and transform into a usable area for all. FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact is associated with this report. RECOMMENDATION: Hold a discussion regarding garden area recommendations and provide feedback to staff. ALTERNATIVES: None. ATTACHMENTS: None.

The Center is very well utilized daily for the congregate lunch program, enrichment classes, social programs, educational workshops and seminars, and to give the senior population volunteer opportunities. In addition, the center is used for official City events, meetings, and private rentals. As with all heavily used buildings, the facility has experienced wear and needs updates. In the Capital Improvement Budget for Fiscal Year 2023/2024, City Council allocated $75,000 for improvements at the San Bruno Senior Center. In 2024 the improvements began with the Staff Office. The remainder of improvements were paused to allow the needed closure to coincide with the additional improvements scheduled for the bathrooms and reception area. DISCUSSION: City Staff coordinated with Interactive to provide renderings of the lobby and reception area to allow for the choice of accents. Attachment 1 includes the current improvement choices with renderings to assist in decision- making.
