To outline the planning, design, construction process for the Southern Orange Senior Center, including timeline; and 2. To recommend planning committee structure. BACKGROUND: Planning and Design Process As background to the process, the Department on Aging is preparing a compilation of findings from the series of public forums and community surveys held over the past several months to gather input and ideas from seniors and the general public. Once this needs assessment has been completed and the Board has approved the general scope of the project, a selection process will commence for the design team who will complete the building, Recommendations far interest groups to represent the senior community on the design committee are listed later in this abstract. As has been fhe case previously with design of buildings, the County would pursue amulti-step process during which the architect/engineers translate the needs assessment scope of work into design development drawings, a schematic design and finally the working drawings upon which constn~ction will be based. County Commissioners and the design committee for the Center would be updated and comments solicited at each of these milestones, A full presentation is also suggested for all interested seniors at the conclusion of the schematic design phase.
