A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER

INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH HUDSON COMMUNITY

FOUNDATION REGARDING A SENIOR TRANSPORTATION

PROGRAM AND ACCEPTING A DONATION FOR A PASSENGER

VAN.

Brief Description: This initiative arose in 2025 when the Hudson Senior

Network Foundation (HSN) and Hudson Community Foundation (HCF) raised

funds for a Senior project. The Senior Transportation Program was recognized

as a need in the community. The HSN began researching a program in an

adjacent community that provides a similar service and they along with HCF

began collecting donations. To date, the groups have raised the needed costs

for a passenger van (estimated State Bid Cost $58,000) and are asking the City

to accept the donation to purchase the van and provide a senior transportation

program to Hudson residents over the age of 65 years of age.
