John Roberts said he has no legal concerns about the recommendations. They <br /> are mostly policy issues, and he stays out of the policy aspects. <br /> Commissioner Gordon noted that all this does is suggest that we approve the <br /> by-laws as written, but with the resolution to approve an additional "whereas" statement <br /> that mentions that the first priority of the adult day health center should be to provide <br /> services to Orange County residents. The action is to adopt that amendment and then <br /> to amend the lease agreement similarly to say that the tenant acknowledges that the <br /> tenant's first priority is to provide services to Orange County residents. The suggestion <br /> is to approve the lease agreement and then authorize the Chair to sign and then when <br /> it is brought back to them next year, to get a report describing the residency of those <br /> who receive adult day care services during the period of October 2012 to September <br /> 2013. <br /> Commissioner Gordon made the following recommendation: <br /> Agenda Item 7-a, Senior Care of Orange County, Inc. - Revised By-Laws and Lease <br /> Agreement <br /> At their Nov. 20, 2012 BOCC meeting, the Commissioners noted that the lease <br /> agreement had no provision specifying that the adult day care services offered by <br /> Senior Care should serve Orange County residents, even though the lease amount was <br /> going to be $1 per year. The Commissioners requested information concerning <br /> whether the lease could be changed to add that provision. <br /> The agenda materials state that Department on Aging Director Janice Tyler indicated <br /> that it is certainly acceptable to ask that Senior Care's first priority be to serve the <br /> residents of Orange County. <br /> Therefore I will be recommending at the December 3 BOCC meeting that the following <br /> motion be adopted. <br /> MOTION <br /> A. By-Laws <br /> Approve the revised by-laws as written. <br /> B. Resolution <br /> (1) Amend the resolution to add the following "Whereas" statement between <br /> the current third and fourth "Whereas" statements: <br /> "Whereas, Senior Care's first priority for the Adult Day Health Center should be to <br /> provide services to Orange County residents;" <br /> (2) Adopt the amended resolution. <br /> C. Lease Agreement <br />
