DATE: 7/14/2026 City of Scotts Valley SENIOR CENTER BOARD STAFF REPORT DATE: 7/14/2026 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Allison Pfefferkorn, Recreation Division Manager APPROVED: Mali LaGoe, City Manager SUBJECT: Discussion of Fiscal Year 2026–2027 Senior Center Events, Programs, and Classes SUMMARY OF ISSUE Staff have developed a draft calendar of special events and programs for the upcoming fiscal year. The calendar is intentional in balancing a mix of social, educational, wellness, volunteer appreciation, intergenerational, and seasonal programming. While many of these events have been successful in previous years, we want to continually evaluate programming to make sure it reflects the interests and needs of current and future participants. The draft calendar is a starting point for discussion and planning. Throughout the upcoming fiscal year, staff will continue to evaluate program participation, community feedback, and the results of the Senior Center survey to keep programming in line with the interests and needs of the community. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact on this discussion. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are seeking the Board's feedback on the draft calendar and would like to discuss future programming opportunities, keeping in mind limited resources. Topics for discussion could include: • Are there events that should be expanded, modified, or replaced? • Are there new traditions or annual events the Board would like to see introduced? Page 8 of 10  • Are there educational topics, workshops, or guest speakers that would benefit Senior Center participants? • Are there opportunities to partner with local organizations, schools, businesses, or nonprofits? • How can programming better serve both current participants and attract new members? • Are there seasonal celebrations, cultural events, or community service opportunities that should be added? • Are there additional health, wellness, technology, fitness, arts, or recreational classes the Board would recommend? • Are there opportunities to increase intergenerational programming and family participation?
