THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 75
APPLICANTS TO THESE POSITIONS.
WITH THOSE THAT DID NOT MAKE

IT IS CERTAINLY A COMPETITIVE
LOT.

I WANT TO GIVE COUNCILMEMBER
HERBOLD SOME CREDIT FOR THE
NEXT SENTENCE.
AS WE WERE SITTING AT THE TABLE
THIS MORNING, SHE LEANED OVER
TO ME AND SAID, WE SHOULD
INCLUDE SENIORS AND SOMETHING
ELSE AND WE WERE DECIDING IT
SHOULD BE A STAY ENGAGED
PROGRAM.
AND WE DO HAVE A SENIOR
COMMITTEE AND A DISABILITIES
COMMITTEE BUT WE REALLY OUGHT
TO BE INCLUDING SENIORS AND
MANY OF THESE COMMITTEES AND
COMMISSIONS AS WE GO FORWARD.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT IT
REALLY HAS COME UP.
BUT I KNOW WE ARE LOOKING
FORWARD TO THE HUMAN SERVICES
AND LOOKING AT THE REGIONAL
HOMELESSNESS.
WE ARE BEING VERY CAREFUL TO
MAKE SURE THE PEOPLE WITH LIVED
EXPERIENCES ARE IN ALL THE
COMMITTEES.
AND WE SHOULD CONSIDER PEOPLE
WHO MAY BE OLDER THAN 65 MAY
NOT KNOW THEY ARE WELCOMED AND
HAVE A STAY AND ENGAGED PROCESS
.
>> GREAT IDEA.
COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD.
>> TO GIVE CREDIT WHERE
CREDIT IS DUE.
AND THANK YOU.
IT IS A COMMON REFRAIN THAT I
HEAR FROM ONE OF MY
CONSTITUENTS, DIANE VINCENT
ROSE, WHO MONITORS THE
COUNCIL'S WORKINGS VERY
CAREFULLY AND HAS POINTED OUT
TO ME A NUMBER OF TIMES THAT
MANY OF THE COMMISSIONS HAVE
FEW OLDER SENIORS ON IT.
AND THERE IS A WEALTH OF
EXPERIENCE THERE THAT WE WANT
TO MAKE SURE THE COMMISSIONS
HAVE THE ADVANTAGE OF.
SO PERHAPS WE CAN SPEAK ABOUT
CREATING A SIMILAR PROGRAM.
>> EVEN THE HUMAN SERVICES
DEPARTMENT WITH ALL AGES AND
ABILITIES, THAT APPROACH WE ARE
TAKING.
I WANT TO EXTEND THANKS TO MY
COLLEAGUES WHO WILL BE HERE
NEXT YEAR.
I'M HOPING SOMEBODY TAKES
FORWARD THIS BANNER AND MAKES
SURE THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE
COMMUNITY CAN REALLY
PARTICIPATE IN WAYS THEY MAY
NOT HAVE IN THE PAST.
SO MANY THANKS.
GET ENGAGED AND STAY ENGAGED.
SO NOT ONLY HAVING THAT
PERSPECTIVE ON AGING ISSUES BUT
ALL PARTS OF THE
INFRASTRUCTURE.
GREAT IDEA.
THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENTS.
