The Commissioners' goal was "to develop and implement.a Master Aging <br />Plan (M.A.P.) that would provide a comprehensive and coordinated delivery of community <br />services to senior citizens over the life span who have different levels of functional capacity." <br />To achieve this goal, the County Commissioners established a M.A.P. Task Force in November, <br />1999. After ten months, numerous meetings and three public hearings, the M.A.P. Task Force <br />has identified the issues, and developed goals and objectives to address the issues. The Task <br />Force has completed the Master Aging Plan for the BOCC's consideration. <br />Once adopted, the Orange County Advisory Board on Aging will make an annual progress <br />report on M.A.P. and recommend annual revisions including updated costs and priority changes <br />far the BOCC approval. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Master Aging Plan report presents proposed costs, both start-up <br />(one time) and annual (recurring), for the fiscal year 2001 objectives and estimates for the years <br />2002-2005. Some casts are unknown at this time and to be determined (TBD) after further <br />research on the issue as to level of need. (See Appendix C: Summary Chark) <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board review and consider the <br />Master Aging Plan Report. <br />
