Soltys Program, designed for the welfare of maturing residents, particularly within central and northern Orange, to maintain each participant’sindependence and capacity for self-care andto promote his/her social, physical and emotional well-being, with the aim of preventing inappropriate or premature institutionalization. The Master Aging Plan (MAP) approved by the BOCCin March 2001 identified an adult day health program as one of its top priorities. The BOCC approved the adult day health initiative and set aside $40,000 for the planning and implementation of adult day health center, under the guidance and direction of the Aging Department, in November 2001. From the beginning it was agreed the initiative would be a community partnership and not an on-going County program. The adult day health center opened its doors in March 2003. By-Laws: The BOCC approved by-laws for a new nonprofitin December 2003, and the center was incorporated inJanuary 2004 to assume governance and operation under the name Senior Care of Orange County, Inc. (SC of OC, Inc.). The County Attorney advisesthe by-laws approved by the BOCC in 2003 for SC of OC, Inc. need revision to clarify its relationshipto Orange County government and distinguish its independence as a community-based private nonprofit. Revisions have been made to Article IV, Board of Directors, and Article IX, General Provisions. The BOCC must approve the revised by-laws because existing by-laws, as written, can only be modified by action of the BOCC.
