ORANGE COUNTY <br />ADVISORY BOARD ON AGING <br /> <br />Minutes <br />April 6, 2010 <br /> <br />PRESENT: Leo Allison, Heather Altman, Peggy Cohn, Mary Fraser, Steve Lackey, <br />Haryo Marsosudiro, Joan Pellettier, Fred Schroeder, Mike Symons, Jan Wells <br /> <br />STAFF: Kathie Kearns, Jerry Passmore <br /> <br />The meeting was called to order by Chair Steve Lackey at the Seymour Center. Jerry <br />Passmore informed the Board that Kate Barrett was recently awarded UNC’s Florence <br />Soltys Community Service Award for 2010. He added that he hoped to recognize Ms. <br />Barrett at the April 20 Commissioners meeting. <br /> <br />The minutes of the March meeting were approved as mailed. <br /> <br />Mr. Passmore informed the Advisory Board that the County Manager has requested that <br />all departments reduce the FY2011 budget by 15% of County dollars. For the <br />Department on Aging and Transportation this equates to $205,000. More information <br />will be reviewed later in the meeting. <br /> <br />The Resolution naming the Adult Day Health Program in honor of Florence Soltys is <br />scheduled for the April 20 Board of County Commissioners meeting. Dr. John Soltys <br />will be in attendance. Heather Altman asked if the official name of the Coalition for the <br />Continuity of Care in the Geriatric Community be substituted for the title listed in the <br />Resolution. Mr. Passmore stated that the lettering for the Central Orange Senior Center <br />and Florence Soltys Adult Day Care Program will be added to the building in May. Mary <br />Fraser questioned if the term ‘facility’ in paragraph four should be deleted. All Advisory <br />Board members are encouraged to attend the unveiling of the signage. <br /> <br />The next agenda item was review of the Manager’s recommendation to combine some <br />County advisory committees i.e. the Adult Care and Nursing Home Advisory <br />Committees and dissolve others, namely the Advisory Board on Aging. Mr. Passmore has <br />been asked by the Manager to provide feedback on the feasibility of these actions. <br />Members were asked to review the materials distributed for discussion at a future <br />meeting. He proposed that one consideration for the Advisory Board might be to broaden <br />its mission to include the disabled population. Discussion followed on the role of the <br />Friends boards in serving the needs of all older adults. Heather Altman expressed her <br />concern about this Board’s role in light of the Manager’s review of its future. Why gear <br />up when we might go out of business. Fred Schroeder asks what the motivation for <br />dissolving the Aging Board. The consensus was that the motive is purely financial - the <br />saving of staff time. Mr. Passmore noted the accomplishments made through the efforts <br />of the Advisory Board on Aging during the last 30 years. Fred Schroeder asked if the <br />rationale of reducing is the amount of staff and County Commissioner time. The Chair
