3 <br /> <br />Jean Suddarth and Jan Wells reported on the Senior Tar Legislature (STHL) meeting <br />currently being held in Raleigh. State Division of Aging Director Dennis Streets has <br />informed the delegates that the Senior Center General Purpose funding has been <br />preserved in the new fiscal year budget. In the State’s proposed Home and Community <br />Care Block Grant budget the only reduction is support for Project Care. Mr. Streets’ <br />summary of the 2011 Legislative Money Report can be found on the Dept of Health and <br />Human Services website. Other human services funding cuts were reviewed. Ms. Wells <br />also reported that the STHL was given new population statistics based upon the 2010 <br />census. Discussion followed on these figures and their impact on the MAP planning <br />process. <br /> <br />The Chair announced that the Advisory Board’s next meeting will be held in August at <br />the Seymour Center. Jan Wells volunteered to head up a subcommittee that includes Leo <br />Allison and Alex Castro to conduct a cross-walk from the last MAP Update to the new <br />process. Also, the MAP Planning Subcommittee (MAP Management Committee) agreed <br />to meet on July 12 to review the Steering Committee appointments and data analysis. <br /> <br />There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br />Janice Tyler, Secretary. <br /> <br /> <br />
