3 <br />Jerry Passmore distributed a Senior Meal Service Improvement Plan that would be a <br />Master Aging Plan priority for fiscal year 2008-09. In this proposal the Department on <br />Aging will use the Seymour Center kitchen to prepare noon meals for both Orange <br />County senior centers, effective July 2009. He stated that a business plan will be <br />prepared and submitted to the Board of County Commissioners for their approval in <br />early 2009. A ten-member advisory committee will be formed to assist in the <br />development of this plan. Discussion followed on the composition of this advisory <br />committee. <br /> <br />The review of the MAP annual report for FY2008 and the priorities for FY 2009 were <br />postponed until the November meeting. <br /> <br />Jerry Passmore distributed a copy of the MAP Legislative/Advocacy Work Plan: <br />FY2008-09 for the Board’s review. The first objective proposed convening a coalition of <br />identified advocacy groups to develop a legislative platform for consideration by the <br />Board of County Commissioners. The second objective proposed holding another <br />legislative forum to educate the community about issues related to aging. <br /> <br />Mr. Passmore informed the Board that the proposal to expand the Wellness Program <br />space at the Seymour Center was not included in the Manager’s three-year Capital <br />Improvement Plan recommendation. Any expansion in the near future likely would have <br />to be paid for by private funds. <br /> <br />There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br />Jerry M. Passmore <br />Secretary <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
