4 <br />January 2009. Their report will be presented to the Advisory Board before being <br />submitted to the County Commissioners. <br /> <br />Discussion returned to the MAP document of FY 2008 accomplishments and 2009 <br />priorities. Mr. Passmore highlighted new initiatives listed: developing an aging-friendly <br />community assessment tool, food service planning, consolidation of aging services into <br />the new Central Orange Senior Center, and geriatric mental health. He listed the mental <br />health trainings the Eldercare Transitions staff had recently attended and the Community <br />Resource Connections grant award received in conjunction with Chatham County. <br /> <br />Ann Johnson inquired about the status of the previous recommendation that the Director <br />of Aging and Transportation Department be divided into two separate positions. Jerry <br />Passmore responded that Orange County will not be establishing any additional <br />departments in the near future due to cost. Ann Johnson stressed the importance of senior <br />centers as focal points in the service delivery system in North Carolina. <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 />
