BACKGROUND
As Council is aware, the Tustin Area Senior Center is under
construction. Completion is expected in early 1989, the
culmination of a long campaign which has enjoyed the active
involvement of the Tustin area senior adult community.
Instrumental in that campaign has been the Senior Center Steering
Committee (SCSC). The SCSC group has studied and approved the
attached report and encourages Council to approve it. The report
is a product of many months of staff work and research, gleaning
the best ideas and background from senior centers in both Orange
and Los Angeles Counties. The SCSC group will continue on through
Senior Center Operating Plan

the construction phase; at the opening,.it will be appropriate to
start the new Senior Center Advisory Board as indicated in the
report. This Board is a requirement of grant funding and a good
illustration of Tustin's philosophy to involve seniors in program
planning. This advisory board will make recommendations for
policies and programs to serve the Tustin area senior community.
The fiscal implications of the Center opening in January have been
incorporated in the 1988/89 Budget which has already been approved
by the City Council. Upon approval of the operating plan, staff
and the senior volunteers can continue planning and working towards
opening day. This is_one more step on the way to completion of
this important project; both staff and the SCSC members urge the
City Council to approve the operating plan.
