ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: June 26, 2007 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. ~-~~ <br />SUBJECT: Resolution of Commendation to the Master Aging Plan Task Force <br />DEPARTMENT: Aging PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />Master Aging Plan <br />of Commendation <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Task Force Resolution Jerry M. Passmore, Director, 245-2009 <br />Jack Chestnut, Chair <br />PURPOSE: To consider a resolution commending the Master Aging Plan Task Force on the <br />completion the five year plan update that was presented to the Board of County Commissioners <br />on May 3, 2007 and adopted on May 15, 2007. <br />BACKGROUND: The Board of County Commissioners approved the updating of the Master <br />Aging Plan (MAP) for the period 2007-2011. The MAP Task Force charge, structure, <br />membership and time frame were approved by the Board of County Commissioners on October <br />18, 2005. The Task Force was comprised of a Steering Committee and three functional <br />subcommittees: Well/Fit Older Adult, Disabled/Moderately Impaired Older Adult, and Severely <br />Impaired/Institutionalized Older Adult, as well as four identified broad issues subgroups <br />(Information/Access, Housing Transportation, and Transitional Care). <br />Pat Sprigg and Florence Soltys, co-chairs of the MAP Steering, guided the process from its <br />kick-off on December 1, 2005 through the final MAP meeting on January 31, 2007. Without the <br />dedication and expertise of over 110 persons including Task Force members, resource <br />consultants, and staff, the development of this plan would not have been possible. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with approval of this Resolution <br />of Commendation. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the resolution <br />commending the Master Aging Plan Task Force members for their time, energy and expertise in <br />preparing a plan that will impact all Orange County older residents now and in the future; <br />authorize the Chair to sign the resolution; and approve the sunsetting of the MAP Task Force <br />based on completion of its charge and BOCC adoption of the MAP update. <br />
