City of Farmersville Amenities Board Quarterly Meeting

Senior Center Sets Hours, Library Gears Up For Summer, Board Pushes For Missing Rules And Budget Info

The City of Farmersville Amenities Board met April 23, 2026, for its quarterly meeting, with updates centered on the senior center, civic center, and library. The discussion mostly touched places residents use every week, from senior services and building rentals to children’s summer programs and how the city shares public information.

Home Health Group Introduces Services In Farmersville

A representative from Signature Home Health, Hospice and Companion Care told the board the family-run company opened in Farmersville last July. Staff explained they offer home health, hospice, companion care, transportation help for seniors, and are working to start a pediatric branch here. For local families, the presentation put another option on the radar for in-home care, rides to appointments, and basic help for seniors who may be living alone.

Senior Center Plans To Bring Back Set Hours

Senior center leaders said they are working on firm operating hours and plan to formally propose them soon. During the meeting, staff asked for those hours to be emailed over so they can be posted at the center, shared with police, and updated online. That should clear up confusion for visitors after a sign with hours appeared on the door without a clear source.

Senior Center Starts Revising Bylaws

The board heard that senior center leaders have started reviewing their bylaws, noting that parts of the document are outdated and need to be updated. They said they recently pulled the bylaws for review and are putting together a list of potential changes, though no specific updates were discussed during the meeting.

Senior Center Prepares Repair List

Senior center leaders said they are putting together a list of needed repairs, with Regina working on it. No full list was presented yet, but the update signals that maintenance needs are being tracked and may come back for future discussion.

Library Fundraiser Plan Shifts To Donation Drive

Seniors said they still want to support the library, but not through the fundraiser format first discussed. Instead, they plan to approach local businesses in July with a letter asking for checks made directly to the Rike Library. The donations would go into the library’s budget line item, though city staff said they cannot be treated as charitable deductions for tax purposes.

Civic Center Rentals Stay Busy

Staff reported 12 paid civic center rentals in February, 11 in March, and six so far in April. Those numbers do not include city groups or Rotary. The update gives a snapshot of how often the building is being used and how active the space remains for community events.
