Report
BACKGROUND
At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Senior Advisory Commission develops a Work Plan and a set of activities to focus Commission discussions and efforts throughout the year. The Plan is created using the eight (8) domains of the World Health Organization's Age-Friendly City framework, along with current trends relating to the senior population, and developing proposed policies and resources to meet specific resident needs. At the June 24 meeting, the Commission voted to continue discussion on Item 24-575 (Attachment 1) to the July 22, 2024 meeting.
