TO' WILLIAM A. HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM: COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: SENIOR ADVISORY BOARD APPOINTMENT CONFIRMATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Confirm Lloyd Ebel, and Myra Simon as members of the Senior
Advisory Board as recommended by the current Members of the Board
and the Senior Center Staff.
The Senior Advisory Board was created to advise staff on programs
for the health and. well being of senior citizens, and to insure
that seniors are always a part of the program planning. Terms for
membership on the Board are two years. Maintaining an active Board'
is a requirement of the Senior Center Bond Act which provided a
$450,000 grant to help fund the construction.
Qualifications for membership on the Advisory Board include
involvement with Tustin Senior Programs or Community Services
programs, residing in the Tustin area (Tustin Unified School
District boundaries) a minimum of two years, and being at least
fifty-five years of age. These qualifications were adopted by the
City Council when the Senior Center Operating Plan was approved.
Because the involvement and interest in Senior Center programming
were the main qualifications for membership, the Operating Plan
suggested that the existing Committee (Board Members) and the
Senior Center staff interview interested applicants and recommend
to the Council the most qualified candidates. The Senior Advisory ---
Board was not established by ordinance. It was to function more
like a committee, such as the Tustin Area Youth Issues Committee,
to provide input and feedback to staff regarding programs.
Requests for applicants were solicited through the various senior
groups using the Senior Center and through an announcement in the
Senior Sounding Board, the monthly newsletter. Four letters of
interest were received by the Center s~aff in response to the two
positions available.
Ail of the proposed candidates met the criteria and are very
involved in the programs and services offered at the Senior Center.
Lloyd Ebel is to be reappointed. Myra Simon will be replacing Ruby
M. May.
With the Council's confirmation of new members, the next meeting of
the Senior Advisory Board will be scheduled April 28, 1994 at 3:00
p.m. in the Tustin Area Senior Center. The board meets quarterly
on the fourth Thursday.
