Public Hearings--NONE <br /> 7. Regular Agenda <br /> a. Senior Care of Orange County, Inc. — Revised By-Laws and Lease <br /> Agreement <br /> The Board considered two actions concerning Senior Care of Orange County, <br /> Inc. (SC of OC, Inc.): Approval of revised by-laws for SC of OC, Inc.; and Approval of a <br /> resolution authorizing a lease agreement with SC of OC, Inc. and authorize the Chair to <br /> sign. <br /> John Roberts said this item was on the 11/20 agenda on the consent agenda <br /> and there were some questions about it at that time. The goal is to get at arm's length <br /> from this non-profit organization, which works next door to the Senior Center, providing <br /> adult healthcare/day care services for seniors with health issues that require them to <br /> have care during the day. <br /> He said this non-profit was created in 2004 and was never intended to be an <br /> Orange County agency. However, since 2004 the county has had a significant role in <br /> and control of this organization and its' board of directors. The action under <br /> consideration attempts to limit the County's exposure to potential liability by getting this <br /> organization at arm's length and removing county control over it. He said the county <br /> will continue to fund or partially fund the organization, as they want it to be successful <br /> and still be able to provide services. However, the county's liability needs to be limited. <br /> He said they would like to amend the by-laws and reduce Orange County's <br /> control and also to authorize a lease that recognizes their services and does not impact <br /> them in a negative financial way. He would like to discuss this and approve the lease <br /> and the by-laws. <br /> Chair Jacobs asked if he had looked at Commissioner Gordon's <br /> recommendations. <br />
