The City's human services complex is designed to support a cooperative network of agencies and entities which enhance the quality of life and foster a sense of community within the City's elderly population. Businesses, health and human service agencies are selected for the complex based upon a demonstrated ability to share a common mission and deliver comprehensive services to the elderly and residents of the surrounding neighborhood. City Council has therefore included the human services complex among the City's strategic assets. Council hereby declares that a self- supporting human services complex is essential to the general health, safety and welfare and ensures that the City remains responsible to current and future residents.
