Heather Altman spoke of the continued success of the Community Resource Connection. Ed <br />Flowers announced that another Orange County Nursing Home has been placed on the <br />provisional licensure list. Janice Tyler stated that there are still Senior Times drop boxes that <br />need to be placed and maintained in the community. <br />Jean Suddarth promised a report from the Senior Tar Heel Legislature following its major <br />meeting in mid-March. Ms. Tyler announced that State Division of Aging Director Dennis <br />Streets has asked Orange County to present its Master Aging Plan at the March 27 Governor’s <br />Advisory Council meeting to encourage other communities to consider developing a plan. Ms. <br />Tyler also stated that the Senior Lunch catering contract will be rebid this Spring. She briefed <br />the Advisory Board on the involvement of the Title V Senior Employment Program in providing <br />staff for the Senior Lunch Program and the change in its mission to becoming a retraining <br />program for unsubsidized employment. With this change the Department must budget for more <br />paid staff to replace the Senior Worker enrollees, which will result in less funding for meals. The <br />United Way funding for persons with disabilities under the age of 60 was not utilized during <br />2011. <br />There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Janice Tyler <br />Secretary <br />
