2 <br /> The Orange County Disability Awareness Council has reviewed this resolution and is requesting an <br /> amendment to include persons with disabilities. While there is an estimated 23,000 persons in <br /> Orange County with disabilities, many are not age 60, yet face similar challenges as the elderly. <br /> They may not qualify for Medicaid and therefore,cannot get assistance with the purchase of <br /> prescription drugs. <br /> The attached resolution includes the addition of disabled persons to the previously approved <br /> resolution. (The specific changes are underlined and highlighted in bold/italics for your review.) <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the amended <br /> resolution and authorize the Chair to sign. <br />
