The BOCC approved the adult day health initiative <br /> and set aside $40,000 for the planning and implementation of adult day health center, under the <br /> guidance and direction of the Aging Department, in November 2001. From the beginning it was <br /> agreed the initiative would be a community partnership and not an on-going County program. <br /> The adult day health center opened its doors in March 2003. <br /> By-Laws: The BOCC approved by-laws for a new nonprofit in December 2003, and the center <br /> was incorporated in January 2004 to assume governance and operation under the name Senior <br /> Care of Orange County, Inc. (SC of OC, Inc.). The County Attorney advises the by-laws <br /> approved by the BOCC in 2003 for SC of OC, Inc. need revision to clarify its relationship to <br /> Orange County government and distinguish its independence as a community-based private <br /> nonprofit. Revisions have been made to Article IV, Board of Directors, and Article IX,.General <br />
