White, Director of Co,unity Services SUBJECT: NOMINATION OF RUBY MAY TO VOTING MEMBERSHIP ON O~NGE COUNTY SENIOR CITIZENS ADVISORY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATIONS: To direct staff to prepare a letter to the Orange County Division, League of Cities, recommending Ruby May as a voting member to the Orange County Senior Citizens Advisory Council. 2. To authorize the Mayor to sign this letter. 3. To authorize and encourage Council members to voice their support for Mrs. May to appropriate League officials. BACKGROUND: A voting membership on the Orange County Senior Citizen Advisory Council has become available. At present, the City is fortunate to have Tustin resident Ruby May as an alternate delegate to this Council; however as an alternate Mrs. May does not have a vote. If she were a voting member, Mrs. May would have the interest of Tustin senior adults in mind as the Advisory Council considers projects to be funded from county, state, and federal funds. The Orange County Senior Citizens Advisory Council is most instrumental in dispersing these funds. Ruby May is involved in many facet~of our senior citizen service program, as can be evidenced by the attached resume. In addition to serving as an alternate delegate to the Orange County Senior Citizens Advisory Council, she serves on the City of Tustin's Senior Citizen Coordinating Council. Since the group began in November of 1980, staff has had an opportunity to witness Ruby in action. She is conscientious, hardworking, very interested in meeting the needs of our seniors, and always willing to give her time. In April of 1981 Ruby was a delegate to the State House Conference on Aging, and in 1981 she was also elected to the California Senior Legislature as an Assemblywoman. Due to the fact that Ruby May has had experience on the Orange County Senior Citizens Advisory Council as an alternate delegate, she has an excellent chance to be appointed as a voting member. The appropriate method for the City to proceed is to nominate Mrs. May in a letter to Executive Director Bob Haskell, Orange County Division, California League of Cities. Should the City Council concur with staff's feeling that Ruby May would make an excellent voting delegate, staff would be delighted to prepare such a letter for the Mayor's signature. There is another candidate from the City of Irvine who will be competing for the same spot for which Mrs. May is eligible; therefore, any support from City Council to the League Office or members of the appropriate League Committee would be appreciated.
