Internal Advisory Manager's Recommendations Staff Comments <br /> BoardslCommissions <br /> Recommendations: <br /> The Orange County Advisory Board on Aging with Friends of <br /> the Senior Centers representatives met on May 11,2010 and <br /> reviewed the function and structure of both groups.They did <br /> �nof approve the County Manager's recommendation to <br /> dissolve the Aging Advisory Board and mergel transfer <br /> its role to the two private non-profit Friends of the Senior <br /> Centers organization.Their recommendation reinforces their j <br /> belief in a strong public commitment embodied by the <br /> existing County Aging Advisory Board that <br /> comprehensively addresses the aging issues of Orange <br /> County's largest and fastest growing population,projected to <br /> doubled in 18 years to over 41,000 residents over 60 years of <br /> age. <br /> Instead,the Orange County Advisory Board on Aging <br /> approved the following recommendation: <br /> 1. The BOCC should consider enlarging the Aging <br /> Advisory Board to 1�-18 members(from current <br /> 12 members)in order to more efficiently and <br /> effectively carry out the year-round board's <br /> purposes,to encompass new roles/responsibilities <br /> and to facilitate the operation of two permanent <br /> committees:planninglcoordination and <br /> legislative/advocacy. Friends of the Senior Centers <br /> representatives would continue to attend the Aging <br /> Advisory Board's monthly meetings to report and <br /> keep them informed of senior center issues and <br /> activities. <br /> � <br />
