4 <br /> 5. For the Board to consider and discuss Commissioner Jacobs'suggestion at the <br /> May 16th meeting of how to engage more seniors in community activities, such as <br /> BOCC meetings and to consider day meeting(s) <br /> Excerpt from the APPROVED May 2 BOCC Minutes (Acceptance of the 2017-22 <br /> Orange County Master Aging Plan) <br /> MAP <br /> Commissioner Jacobs referred to the suggestion of involving more seniors on <br /> County advisory boards, and asked if this topic could be added to a work session in <br /> September. He said perhaps a statement could be added to the applications to <br /> encourage seniors to apply. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said it would be easier to garner more civic engagement <br /> by having meetings during the day for seniors, but it is hard for many elected officials <br /> that work during the day to attend meetings. He said the Board of County <br /> Commissioners may need to try harder to address this, and maybe there is a different <br /> time of day that would get more seniors to attend a Board of County Commissioners' <br /> meeting. <br /> 6. For the Board to consider and discuss Commissioner Price's request to have the <br /> BOCC Advisory Board chairs submit reports/updates/concerns to the BOCC via <br /> agendas <br /> Excerpt from the DRAFT June 20, 2017 BOCC Minutes: <br /> 3. Announcements, Petitions and Comments by Board Members <br /> Commissioner Price asked if the agenda review committee could find a creative <br /> process to get advisory chair reports to the Board of County Commissioners. She said <br /> this does not have to be a long report, and could be more akin to a flyer or a poster. <br />
