The Ann Arbor Senior Center Task Force announced today its launching an online survey to gauge feedback about the city's senior center.
The aging structure in Burns Park faces potential closure next year under a budget plan being considered by city officials. The net cost to maintain the senior center is about $150,000 annually, a cost absorbed by the city's parks and recreation department.
The survey, available here, asks area residents 30 and older whether they currently use the senior center, what would make them want to use it and whether changing the name from "senior center" to a more inclusive facility name would attract a wider demographic to the center.
Another question asks survey takers whether they would be willing to pay an annual membership fee to use the senior center.
City officials said the results of the 22-question survey will help the task force develop a recommendation for the senior center. The survey deadline is Nov. 25.
