Committee On Aging

Minutes Agenda City Website ↗

The Committee on Aging mostly heard updates: the Senior Center reported strong September usage, and the ADRC flagged ongoing need for volunteers for home-delivered meals. No new business items were taken up, and there was no public comment recorded.

Senior Center reported September activity levels (320 rides, 1,509 meal deliveries, and about 131 average daily attendance), plus upcoming Health & Information Fair on Oct. 16—useful signals of demand and what services seniors are actually using.

ADRC said open enrollment runs Oct. 14–Dec. 7 and noted they’re still looking for volunteers for home-delivered meals—an ongoing pressure point for keeping meal service reliable.

City Council update included early budget-process talk and a note that the city is borrowing at 37% of equalized value (with a self-imposed 60% limit), plus mention of a beach concession stand discussion—context for where city priorities and spending debates may be headed.

No public comments or communications recorded for this meeting.

Committee Reports
Most of the meeting was updates: ADRC highlighted open enrollment dates, a new dementia care specialist hire, and continued need for home-delivered meal volunteers. The Senior Center reported September service numbers and announced its WASC accreditation renewal and an upcoming Health & Information Fair. Other partner updates (TRIAD, school district, American Legion Auxiliary) focused on ongoing programs and fundraising rather than any decisions the committee needed to make.
