So that this goal is prajeotcd to cost $8,400 rather than the $75,OOfl suggested for the Human Services goal. She asked what outcome was anticipated at the end of this project? Would it qe a written report? Jerry Passmore ,director of the Departmerrt an Aging indicated that the anticipated outcome would be a plan similar to the Commissioners' goals and objectives. This committee plans to work with ~laret~ce Soltys ay using interns in the UNC School of social Wark which is why the cost will be so low. The outcome would be a 5-year plan for the three functional groups. Those groups are 1) active older adults, 2) frail adults and 3) institutionalized adults. This group will look at the entire spectrum of needs of older adults. This plan would be more detailed than most other needs assessments. The first step will be that a list of people who could be on the Steering Committee would be created. That list would be presented to the Beard of County Commissioners far their review, comments, suggestions and approval. The goals and objectives created by the Steering Committee would also be referred to the Board of County Commissioners. The committee will meet and determine their goals, after which they would present those to the Board of County Commissioners to determine if the Board approves of them. It is important that the goals adopted by this committee are goals that the Board of County Gommissioners are also interested in accomplishing. BND OF DISCUSSION
