Hi Lisa, 

 

Here’s the response that Zach, Brittany, and I drafted earlier today in response to a question/comment about the building that we received as an Instagram direct message. I think it could be the foundation of generic response to other teen services questions. Let me know if you would like changes or if you have an example of the correspondence that you’d like me to base a response on.

 

 

COPY:

Thank you for your comments and questions. 

 

No decisions have been made about the future of the building. That will be determined through a public process with City Council which will include opportunities for public comment this spring.

 

At the end of March, we are launching a comprehensive engagement process to understand what teens need, how we can best serve their interests, and where services are most needed. You can find more information regarding the relocation of services to the Redmond Community Center at Marymoor Village (in addition to other city facilities) at www.redmond.gov/TeenServices <http://www.redmond.gov/TeenServices> . An online questionnaire will be available on March 31.

 

The decision to relocate teen services programming from the Old Firehouse Teen Center (OFH) was made proactively due to substantial long-term challenges beyond routine maintenance. While the building remains safe for occupancy thanks to our maintenance protocols, this move allows us to ensure ongoing safety without requiring increasing demand on resources.

 

We remain committed to providing quality, accessible programs that support teen development, create meaningful connections, and respond to the evolving needs of Redmond's youth.

 

 

 

Thanks,

Brant
