Commissioner Gordon said she and David Stancil met with representatives of the two <br /> school boards, and they were willing to work on this issue. <br /> Mr. Bench clarified that there was some cooperation happening all along, although <br /> there was some back and forth. He said there was some use of the facilities and the goal is to <br /> maximize the use. <br /> Chair Jacobs said this has been one of the most chronic issues in the County with <br /> regard to an inability to cooperate. He noted that David Stancil has worked on this for quite a <br /> while. <br /> Chair Jacobs noted that terms were extended for several of the council members, in <br /> order to allow for completion of the master parks plan. He asked when an update would be <br /> given. <br /> Dave Stancil said this process is in the middle of focus groups and is scheduled to <br /> report to the Board in May. <br /> Chair Jacobs asked Dave Stancil to send dates and times of information sessions. <br /> Chair Jacobs said the last item of the PARC is the possibility of a working farm <br /> component park site. He noted that there is a judge in the county who would like to have a <br /> working farm for misdemeanants to work off some of their debt to society. He gave an example <br /> of this, from a similar farm in Oregon, in which the workers pay per hour was given as <br /> restitution to the victims of their crimes. He said that perhaps, with a partnership between the <br /> judicial system, the agricultural preservation community and the parks community, there could <br /> be a creative solution. <br /> • Advisory Board on Aging - Heather Altman, Chair(with Department on Aging <br /> Director Janice Tyler) <br /> Advisory Board on Aging Chair Heather Altman said the board tries to have engaging <br /> meetings and she is representing her 12 member board, as well as 19,000 senior citizens. <br /> She thanked Commissioner Pelissier for serving on the Master Aging Plan steering committee. <br /> She said that the Commissioners presence is missed, and she gave an open invitation for the <br /> Commissioners to join the board meetings in future. She said this is an extremely active <br /> board, and many members work on sub-committees and are working hard on the Master Aging <br /> Plan. She said there is usually a waitlist to join the board. <br /> She said the board is so inspired by Janice Tyler and her staff and their commitment to <br /> Orange County and its senior citizens. <br /> She referenced the Master Aging Plan and said the board is actively working on 32 of 41 year <br /> one implementation strategies and is moving forward toward Phase 2. She said this plan <br /> outlines a variety of objectives and strategies looking at health and wellness for seniors in <br /> Orange County. <br /> She listed some examples of implementations as follows: <br /> • Creation of a Chinese language service capacity <br /> • Provision of educational seminars at the Senior Centers <br /> • Development of a Department on Aging Information Dissemination Plan <br /> • Development of an Emergency Medical Services falls prevention program <br /> • Application submission for funding of a Mobility Manager/transportation <br /> assistance program <br /> • Expanded advocacy for use of transit tax <br /> • Expansion of Low cost mental health counseling at the Seymour Center <br /> • Creation of a Long Term Care Learning Collaborative <br />
