2 <br />Mr. Passmore reviewed the recommended Home and Community Care Block Grant <br />funding allocations, for Fiscal Year 2011. He noted that the additional Block Grant <br />funding available for Orange County has been recommended for the Charles House and <br />Senior Care adult day programs. Peggy Cohn questioned the amount of funds <br />recommended for the congregate meal program in light of the increased demand. Mary <br />Fraser asked how the funding is distributed among the counties. Joan Pellettier stated <br />that a formula is established for distribution among the counties for the local <br />determination of services to be funded. Mr. Passmore outlined the Department’s transfer <br />of Block Grant support from In-Home Aide services to Case Assistance and the <br />establishment of a more flexible Aging-In-Place fund that can provide an array of <br />services or adaptive devices. <br /> <br />The Chair asked if the Block Grant transportation funding will move with Orange Public <br />Transportation to the Planning Department. Jerry Passmore responded that the funding <br />will remain with the Department on Aging and will be used to purchase senior center <br />fixed route transportation from Orange Public Transportation. Mary Fraser asked if the <br />new funding for Charles House was an attempt for equity in adult day care service across <br />Orange County. Haryo Marsosudiro asked about the impact of the 2010 Census on the <br />funding formula. A motion was made by Jan Wells and seconded by Peggy Cohn to <br />accept the recommended Home and Community Care Block Grant funding with the <br />typing edits and mathematical corrections suggested by Steve Yuhasz. Motion carried. <br /> <br />Jerry Passmore reviewed a chart that compared the advisory boards and committees that <br />are the responsibility of the Department on Aging. He also reviewed the <br />recommendation options presented by the County Manager. He asked for comments <br />from those present. Jan Wells expressed her gratitude to Mr. Passmore for his work in <br />compiling this comparative information. Mr. Passmore’s recommendations included: <br />1. enlarge the Advisory Board on Aging to 15-18 members to provide needed <br />leadership for the many issues facing the growing older population <br />2. expand the mission of the Advisory Board on Aging to include persons with <br />disabilities <br />3. expand the mission of the Advisory Board on Aging to assume the role of the <br />RSVP advisory council <br />Heather Altman asked if there was currently a Commissioner-appointed advocacy <br />committee for the disabled population. Mary Frazer responded that OPC-LME serves the <br />Orange County disability community. Steve Lackey expressed concern about expanding <br />the role of this advisory board to include oversight of RSVP. Mary Fraser suggested the <br />Wellness Board as a possible home for the RSVP Council responsibilities. <br />Commissioner Yuhaz asked if there were non-profit organizations in this county who <br />could take on the Advisory Board on Aging’s responsibilities. Discussion followed on the <br />community agencies that advocate for the aging population. <br /> <br />Due to time, Mr. Passmore summarized the discussion by stating that the Aging Advisory <br />Board will pursue expanding its existing membership (including the newly-formed <br />subcommittees) and studying further the RSVP oversight committee responsibilities to be <br />in its mission since it is division of the Dept. on Aging.
