The Pennyrile Allied Community Services Board of Directors met for the first time in 2020 Monday morning and heard an update on the Christian County Senior Center that was heavily damaged by severe weather Saturday morning.
Judge-Executive Steve Tribble serves on the board and says crews worked throughout the weekend to dispose of what was destroyed and to save what could be saved.
Harold Monroe is the PACS executive director and noted that Todd and Caldwell counties will again cook their own hot lunches in their own buildings and it’s likely Todd will also prepare lunch for Christian County when congregate meals move to an alternate site.
As previously reported, PACS anticipates resuming its meals on wheels delivery program in Christian County Tuesday.
Monroe told of seniors showing up at the center Sunday during the recovery efforts to see how things were progressing.
He expects additional announcements soon on long-term plans for senior program offerings at an alternate site while the center is under repair. Judge Tribble estimated it could take two to five months to make repairs at the Senior Center on Seventh Street. Much of the roof was severely damaged and water from the sprinkler system caused damage even where the roof remained intact.
In other business, the PACS Board heard a clean audit report from Lanny White of Carr, Riggs and Ingram; who said last year was a good one for the agency compared to 2018.
White said the audit was conducted using government standards due to the nature of funding PACS receives.
