Each Friends'group has a Senior Center service focus and <br /> covers only part of the County's older adults. <br /> 2. Since the Friends'groups are private and not publicly <br /> appointed boards,the BOCC�has no control over their size, <br /> composition or operation. <br /> 3. Having the Friends'groups assume the Aging Advisory <br /> Board's broad,county-wide focus of senior issues and needs <br /> regardless of setting would be difficult, if not impossible,to <br /> accomplish with two different Friends'groups. <br /> 4.Without the Aging Advisory Board,the two Friends'groups <br /> would have to review and approve funding grants that cover <br /> the entire county,contrary to their respective missions. <br /> 5. Dissolving or merging the Aging Board with another board ', <br /> would reduce the County's public commitment to serving older �i <br /> adults in a comprehensive and integrated county-wide <br /> approach. <br /> � <br />
