VOTING MEMBERSHIP ON ORANGE COUNTY SENIOR CITIZENS ADVISORY COUNCIL
4-6-81
Inter-Corn
It has come to my attention that voting memberships on the Orange County Senior
Citizen Advisory Council may soon become available. At present, we are fortunate
to have Tustin resident Ruby May as an alternate delegate to this Advisory
Council, and I feel it appropriate to approach the Orange County League of
Cities and recommend her appointment as a voting delegate. The Advisory
Council is instrumental in deciding which projects are funded from County,
State, and Federal funds. It would be to our benefit to have a Tustin resident
on this Council.
Ruby May is involved in many facets of our senior citizens service program. 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, I have had an opportunity to
witness Ruby in action. She is conscientious, hard working, very interested in ~'
meeting the needs of our seniors, and always willing to give her time. She
is also cognizant of funding parameters and is a reasonable person with whom
to work. Ruby is also very active in the Senior Citizens Club, the Retired
Senior Volunteer Program, the T.L.C. Nutrition Program, and many other projects.
She has been actively involved as a senior citizens volunteer for more than
three years.
Because Ruby May has had experience on the Orange County Senior Citizens
Advisory Council as an alternate member, she has an excellent chance to be
appointed as a voting member. Due to the structure of the Advisory Council,
the appropriate way for the City to proceed is to write a letter to Executive
Director Bob Haskell, Orange County Division, League of Cities. Should the
City Council concur with my feeling that Ruby would make an excellent voting
member, I would be delighted to prepare such a letter for the Mayor's signature.
RECOMMENDATION
To direct staff to prepare ~ 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.
