TO: Moses Carey, County Commission Chair <br /> FROM: Alice McAdoo, Advisory Board on Aging Chair <br /> DATE: November 23 , 1994 <br /> RE: Board Goals for FY 95-96 <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to relay the top priorities for <br /> the Orange County Advisory Board on Aging for next fiscal <br /> year. Although there are many issues effecting older adults <br /> that warrant attention, the Advisory Board has chosen to <br /> continue emphasizing the two ( 2) priorities established for <br /> the current fiscal year. <br /> First, the Advisory Board intends to use the information <br /> gathered at the Vision Conference, scheduled for Spring '95, <br /> as a basis for developing a County Aging Plan which will <br /> shape the aging services system through the year 2000 and <br /> beyond. Through the combined efforts of practitioners, <br /> citizens and seniors, a draft report will be presented for <br /> public review and comment and Commissioner input. The final <br /> plan should be ready for review in early 1996 . <br /> Secondly, the Advisory Board is committed to enacting the <br /> recommendations contained in the Senior Center Development <br /> Plan, rescheduled for completion by May, 1995. The Advisory <br /> Board strongly supports the development of a senior center <br /> network in Orange County that will meet the needs of the <br /> ever-increasing senior population. This Development Plan is <br /> to be the blueprint for this network. <br /> The Advisory Board on Aging appreciates the support that it <br /> has received from the County Commissioners in the growth and <br /> expansion of the Department on Aging and other senior service <br /> agencies. We look forward to continued dialogue and <br /> cooperative efforts in making Orange County the best place <br /> for older adults to reside. <br /> FN:BOCC9412 .DOC <br />
