The Farmington Senior Center will now be under the management of the East Missouri Action Agency (EMAA).
During their regular session held at the Farmington Library Thursday evening, the Farmington City Council voted 7-1 to contract the management of the senior center, also known as the OAKS Senior Center to EMAA.
During the meeting, Councilman Wayne Linnenbringer read an email he received from a senior center patron opposed to the change in management. A local resident also spoke at the meeting in opposition to the change.
City Administrator Greg Beavers talked about the recent history of the center and why he proposed the change in management.
