Outdoor Spaces: Myra Austin and Mary Altpeter will represent this workgroup at the <br />Intergovernmental Parks Committee this Wednesday. This workgroup has also been promoting <br />a parks locator map and organizing nature walks. Alex Castro asked what plans have been <br />adopted for the use of the $16 million bond approved for park development. <br />Social Participation: Myra Austin announced that the addition to the Passmore Center was <br />recently opened and plans are also progressing for the Seymour Center expansion. The <br />workgroup has decided to enlist the help of Seniors and Law Enforcement Together (SALT) to <br />identify needs that can be addressed by the Senior Centers Without Walls initiative. Alex <br />Castro noted the lack of reliable internet service in some rural areas of the County that is an <br />issue to consider when planning services for homebound individuals. Language differences are <br />being addressed with a telelanguage service now available for Orange County staff. There are <br />also plans to provide Mental Health First Aid and Healthy Ideas classes for staff and participants <br />of the Senior Centers. <br />Communications: Myra Austin reviewed the activities of the Faith Based Senior Resource Team <br />and the Health and Wellness Ambassador. She stated that the Senior Times is available at 90 <br />locations throughout Orange County. Beverly Shuford coordinates the Department’s <br />representation at community events and all items submitted to print media. Senior Center <br />participants are surveyed twice annually to gain insight about programming. <br />Employment: Colin Austin stated that the Department is serving as a hub for senior <br />employment with Mike Komives establishing office hours at each Senior Center for jobseekers <br />to obtain resources. Mr. Komives distributed copies of the Mature Job Seeker Resource Guide <br />and stated that 37 persons participated in the August 1 event at Durham Technical Community <br />College’s Hillsborough campus. Discussion followed on future activities planned. <br />The Community Support/Health Services Work group’s report was postponed until the November <br />meeting. <br /> <br />MAP-BOARD REPRESENTATION TO SOCIAL PARTICIPATION WORK GROUP <br />Discussion of a representative to serve as liaison to this MAP work group was deferred until the <br />November meeting. <br /> <br />CONTINUING PROJECTS <br />The Project EngAGE/Senior Resource Teams Update was postponed until the next meeting. <br /> <br />COMMITTEE REPORTS <br />Senior Tar Heel Legislature - Dick White distributed the 2019 NC Senior Tar Heel Legislature (NCSTHL) <br />Legislative Priorities that were recently approved by that organization. (A Fact Sheet on these priorities <br />is attached.) A date will be designated during the Spring 2019 Legislative Session as ‘Visit your Legislator <br />day’. <br />Adult Care Home Community Advisory Committee – Mike Zuber announced that he has been selected as <br />the new Chair of this Committee. Recruitment continues for Committee vacancies. Crescent Green <br />Assisted Living in Carrboro continues to attempt to make improvements to its rented building. <br />Transportation Board – Alex Castro stated that his term has expired on the Orange United <br />Transportation (OUT) Board.
