[2:38]
conversation that um the Commissioners

[2:44]
were present can definitely share about
[2:46]
the conversation um the uh

[2:57]
did approve um so I will turn it back
[3:00]
over to you um chair Cohen for some
[3:02]
additional um comments and
[3:07]
feedback I thought it was very um good
[3:11]
meeting um certainly no push back um I
[3:16]
thought they had good
[3:18]
comments um you know some to suggest to
[3:21]
Res maybe a slight change or
[3:27]
addition anyway it was
[3:31]
accepted we're good to go yeah I thought
[3:35]
it was really you know very a very
[3:37]
friendly meeting and actually mayor who
[3:41]
actually thanked us for getting our city
[3:44]
recertified so that really felt right
[3:48]
yeah was and and we had we had really a
[3:51]
tiny amount of time because we start
[3:53]
they started a little late so they could
[3:55]
be at 11
[3:56]
minutes and um little
[4:00]
as much as we can but we didn't get
[4:02]
anything in about any kind of
[4:04]
suggestions that they might have or any
[4:06]
anything that you know sometimes they
[4:09]
open up and say is there anything El is
[4:11]
there anything we can do for you and
[4:13]
there wasn't really time for any of that
[4:15]
so we didn't have any of that back and
[4:16]
forth then but it was very um very
[4:21]
friendly and it wasn't adversarial at
[4:24]
all very good so thank you all thank you
[4:27]
for supporting us no I absolutely and so
[4:31]
um the the two events um your work plan
[4:34]
has been approved so that is with the
[4:37]
focus on the two events that the uh
[4:41]
senior commission is planning to go
[4:43]
forward and host which is the uh senior
[4:47]
health fair and the uh collaboration
[4:50]
with Club 55 for the fall FL so that um
[4:54]
is um approved but I thought it was a
[4:57]
very nice um
[5:00]
balance um with uh the discussion
[5:04]
between what the commission had
[5:06]
accomplished what the plan is going
[5:08]
forward and some of the other
[5:11]
information in regards to being
[5:12]
certified so want to thank um noi and um
[5:17]
Jane and uh for representing the senior
[5:21]
commission during that
[5:25]
conversation getting report on the do
[5:28]
you want to add any comment remember but
[5:30]
from your point of view did you think it
[5:32]
went well what do you I did think it
[5:35]
went well I mean it seemed like Council
[5:37]
was in a good mood they were pleased
[5:39]
with um with what everyone had to say
[5:44]
and it was a very clear plan so it was
[5:48]
really no big questions not all the
[5:52]
plans are as clear oh that was good I
[5:56]
think it went really well
[5:59]
the support and kind of setting the
[6:02]
stage for you know that time to approve
[6:05]
it well I you know I don't think Council
[6:08]
has historically been so good at that so
[6:10]
I wanted to be sure that we had that on
[6:14]
the record so yeah good we thank you
[6:18]
thank
[6:20]
you okay so we're moving on now to three
[6:24]
the work plan
[6:30]
does anyone have any ideas or
[6:33]
suggestions for any changes or
[6:36]
enhancements or anything about
[6:40]
the know me yeah one thing that I think
[6:44]
I found
[6:52]
out one thing since I have access to
[6:55]
hundreds of seniors where I live now
[6:58]
they are no very much about the 50 plus
[7:01]
program I've actually done a um old
[7:06]
resident meeting where the director gave
[7:09]
me time and I presented all the things
[7:11]
that are available and they were all
[7:13]
shock shocked really so I I think that
[7:19]
we need to do maybe a little more I
[7:22]
don't know
[7:23]
PR and I think um one of the U council
[7:28]
members
[7:30]
Larry brought up the fact that you know
[7:33]
they're very isolated seniors when he
[7:35]
went around
[7:37]
getting boats that you know most of them
[7:42]
just don't have any anything to do with
[7:45]
any other people they just isolated in
[7:48]
their houses so I thought it might be
[7:50]
good for us to do a little bit of PR
[7:53]
maybe a something in the town fire about
[7:58]
you know what the what program is all
[8:01]
about um so that was my only thing that
[8:06]
I been
[8:07]
out yeah I mean we talked about where do
[8:10]
they congregate but there wasn't any
[8:12]
place really somebody suggested um the
[8:16]
coffee shop but you know it's not like
[8:19]
they all hang out I think in the health
[8:21]
facilities would be the most likely
[8:25]
M go Kiser and go anyway but I just saw
[8:29]
maybe I don't know maybe a little car
[8:32]
you could get out or couple articles do
[8:36]
you think we should adverti bring like
[8:38]
our activity guide over there a stack of
[8:41]
our activity
[8:44]
guides put it in the various
[8:47]
um uh centers like for example we're at
[8:51]
Bridge Point but there's also the um ter
[8:56]
teres
[8:58]
the so now they it only applies of
[9:01]
course to people that live in Los Sal or
[9:04]
Los
[9:06]
Hills
[9:15]
been
[9:21]
is yeah there's another one
[9:30]
oh The Forum The Forum but I think
[9:32]
that's a group of
[9:35]
two doesn't
[9:40]
me any and it doesn't exclude it doesn't
[9:43]
exclude people
[9:54]
no that we do about well I thought that
[9:57]
at a minimum
[10:00]
um something in town you know they're
[10:04]
always looking for subjects anyway
[10:07]
and you know happy to write something
[10:10]
that they'll take it or tell them give
[10:12]
them the information and have them write
[10:17]
it I'm sorry I was
[10:21]
saying sorry about
[10:24]
that oh yeah you just volunteered you
[10:28]
know Jim
[10:30]
to Bridge Point on the Terrace is to
[10:32]
give a little talk yeah I mean when you
[10:35]
wrote ra your
[10:37]
hand whatever they may be yeah that's
[10:40]
fine thank
[10:42]
you any something like that little cars
[10:46]
you give out or you know a couple
[10:49]
articles in the town
[10:52]
CER or because I am
[10:56]
wish tell any time they'll give it to
[11:00]
especially since I'm I'm not going to be
[11:02]
on the
[11:10]
board well we're to do commission as
[11:14]
out I would highly recommend having
[11:17]
Chris come because he's in charge and
[11:19]
brid of coming along with those disc
[11:21]
sessions and being a
[11:34]
mention talked about social isolation
[11:38]
that's a continuing problem that we've
[11:39]
been working on you know since before
[11:41]
the
[11:43]
pmic yeah but I mean it's still notable
[11:47]
people are just suffering they're not
[11:49]
coming out and how to how to get to them
[11:52]
that's what I think
[11:54]
so is it appropriate for us to talk to
[11:57]
council and go
[11:59]
ask
[12:01]
them he might have ideas of how to reach
[12:05]
these socially isolated fol I don't know
[12:09]
[Music]
[12:13]
that need to do that so my suggestion um
[12:18]
and this is something that uh I reviewed
[12:21]
during our um age friendly
[12:24]
recertification process there are a
[12:27]
number and I will just say regular
[12:29]
Outlets that the city and the various
[12:32]
departments including our department
[12:34]
utilizes to get information out and then
[12:38]
on top of that if there are other
[12:41]
suggestions um even as an example when
[12:43]
we were doing the AARP survey the senior
[12:48]
commission signed up to do a number of
[12:50]
different um outreaches on top of what
[12:54]
the city and the departments were
[12:56]
already doing uh so if there are suggest
[12:59]
questions um to both uh commissioner
[13:02]
chop Mill and to uh Vice chair olsson's
[13:04]
suggestion if there are specific
[13:08]
discussions at maybe some of the senior
[13:10]
facilities or having um I know in the
[13:14]
past one of our former Commissioners
[13:15]
that commissioner Naga um took it upon
[13:18]
herself to take information and flyers
[13:22]
to any of the um local places that had
[13:25]
Community boards where information could
[13:28]
be posted so all of those options if you
[13:32]
have those types of suggestions I think
[13:34]
it would be good to forward those ideas
[13:37]
to staff because then we can look at um
[13:41]
how to it and obviously how to maybe
[13:44]
Implement some of those ideas or we
[13:46]
could come back and possibly get the uh
[13:49]
senior commission's um assistance on
[13:51]
some of those things um whether it's a
[13:55]
presentation at Bridgepoint or some of
[13:57]
the other uh places Loc Al that is
[14:00]
something that we can absolutely do in
[14:02]
regards
[14:04]
to um uh what's it called ads in the
[14:08]
town crier our department actually
[14:10]
regularly places um ads in the town
[14:13]
crier we could potentially look at doing
[14:16]
a general one to just advertise what our
[14:19]
adult 50 plus program does but it is
[14:22]
usually a little bit more pointed um
[14:25]
marketing so if there is a specific
[14:28]
event or specific program that we're
[14:30]
trying to get more information out about
[14:34]
as an example um which we'll talk about
[14:37]
a little bit later we will have multiple
[14:39]
ads about our town Tri or um our summer
[14:42]
concerts um you will probably see other
[14:46]
uh ads uh also in regards to some of our
[14:49]
other events too but that is something
[14:52]
that we will always be open and take
[14:54]
information um suggestions on to enhance
[14:58]
what we are already cre do we test on on
[15:01]
the work plan we absolutely could so if
[15:04]
there maybe that is something that we
[15:06]
could do a refresher um with the
[15:08]
commission at the next um and that
[15:10]
actually might be a good leadin for the
[15:12]
two events that the senior commission is
[15:15]
hosting um staff can do a brief
[15:18]
presentation on all of the different
[15:20]
Outlets that we regularly do and then
[15:23]
the commission can take a look at what
[15:26]
other um suggestions that we can
[15:29]
supplement on that for even that just
[15:32]
the upcoming events and or programs for
[15:34]
adult 50 plus um that might be a good so
[15:38]
that um we're not duplicating efforts
[15:40]
and we can look at how to enhance what
[15:43]
we're currently
[15:45]
doing add to that so I guess I need the
[15:48]
microphone right you can't hear me with
[15:51]
the mask yeah right okay so we deal with
[15:55]
isolated seniors a lot in the programs
[15:57]
that I'm working in and one of the
[15:59]
issues is part of why they're isolated
[16:02]
is they absolutely don't know how to use
[16:05]
technology and so if we had and we don't
[16:09]
have as far as I understand it many
[16:11]
programs that are offered over
[16:13]
technology that are offered put a closer
[16:16]
no 50 plus has just like you're eating
[16:19]
ice cream has a technology help
[16:23]
sign what I'm what I'm saying is that
[16:26]
programs that are offered over or some
[16:29]
other kind of Technology are a way a
[16:33]
research and documented way to reach
[16:37]
Elders who are lonely and isolated
[16:40]
rather than expecting them to come to
[16:43]
some to them we by offering it over Zoom
[16:48]
so I am wondering if I didn't see it
[16:52]
that particularly stressed in the work
[16:54]
plan about isolation and addressing
[16:56]
loneliness that's something I wanted
[16:59]
bring up before so I think if we're
[17:01]
going to do any modification of the work
[17:03]
plan we really want to include thinking
[17:06]
about and figuring out how we could do
[17:09]
that who would do it how would we do it
[17:11]
what would we offer it's another type of
[17:14]
Outreach but it is an effective way to
[17:17]
reach people who are lonely and isolated
[17:20]
just like friendly visitors so people
[17:22]
who actually go and visit people who are
[17:25]
lonely and isolated that's a way to
[17:28]
bring them out and help engage them so
[17:32]
there are other ways than adver simply
[17:35]
advertising advertising is a good start
[17:38]
for those who might be you know on the
[17:40]
fence or a little more likely to step
[17:42]
out but for those who are really lonely
[17:44]
in isolated it's not going to reach them
[17:47]
we need to be more um we need to put
[17:50]
more effort into it question do we still
[17:53]
have
[17:55]
uh do we still have the uh Block action
[17:58]
plan place for or
[18:02]
not so my or my recollection for the
[18:07]
Block action teams I know the Community
[18:09]
Foundation um had a program that had a
[18:13]
few um I'm not as familiar with that
[18:16]
particular program um so I would have to
[18:19]
get more information to potentially
[18:21]
bring that back reason I'm saying that
[18:23]
is this would be a fantastic leverage
[18:26]
that we could pull that use Block action
[18:30]
uh teams to essentially reach out to
[18:32]
that's the purpose of the block team to
[18:34]
reach people um
[18:36]
or for purely for purpose of AG so any
[18:41]
something you might want to consider
[18:43]
again I think we need to be system
[18:45]
systematic about this to more or less
[18:48]
categorize every every type of Outreach
[18:51]
that we can undertake to reach seniors
[18:54]
be it theer be it the um direct uh
[19:00]
direct communication or be it leveraging
[19:03]
from the existing mechanism that might
[19:05]
be in place somebody has to work on that
[19:08]
and make it very systematic so that way
[19:10]
we don't have to constantly review the
[19:12]
whole thing over again yeah sorry yeah
[19:15]
and and a good example of that is aanus
[19:17]
Village they do a terrific job offering
[19:20]
things over Zoom that are really
[19:22]
interesting you know like singing guitar
[19:24]
lessons you know exercise programs a lot
[19:28]
of things that they reach a large
[19:32]
[Music]
[19:34]
audience they're two things but they
[19:37]
both have a lot of programming along
[19:39]
these lines so even if we don't want to
[19:41]
do our own programming we could that we
[19:44]
could link people to that existing
[19:47]
network of programs which there is a fee
[19:50]
you have to be a member of aus in order
[19:52]
to use the programs but the fee is
[19:54]
pretty minimal and it doesn't matter
[19:56]
where you live you can move that work so
[19:59]
those would be we could leverage what's
[20:01]
already out there rather than creating
[20:04]
our own if we didn't want I think it's
[20:05]
really end up being some of all you have
[20:07]
to go all of them
[20:10]
yeah but mainly I think the 50 plus was
[20:14]
really good I I did a pretty good review
[20:17]
of it because I had to present it and
[20:20]
just letting people know you know never
[20:22]
heard of it and they have you know tax
[20:26]
he you can have tax help you can have
[20:30]
technology help you can have we taxi
[20:35]
they can take you
[20:37]
to it's pretty
[20:40]
good I think 50 plus is pretty popular
[20:44]
and pretty well known throughout the
[20:46]
community that's my my my take on that
[20:49]
[Music]
[20:53]
yeah not not the group I'm in oh
[20:56]
really oh yeah that's not quite no I
[21:00]
it's I think it's it's it has room to be
[21:05]
yeah yeah everything you know everything
[21:07]
has room to improve oh yeah but that
[21:09]
being said I think there are some
[21:11]
baseline stuff that I think Community as
[21:13]
a whole is pretty well aware of but if
[21:16]
you want to expand the awareness beyond
[21:18]
what what it is today we have to do some
[21:21]
work I think we have to be systematic
[21:23]
about it we can't just every time review
[21:27]
one of these things come out we say okay
[21:29]
what do we do now I mean to me
[21:34]
that's that's not
[21:36]
sufficient people thinking
[21:40]
anything augmenting the plan or Chang
[21:48]
anything I like the idea the plan I
[21:53]
think because that goes along with
[21:56]
community
[21:59]
uh it handles a lot of what the
[22:04]
A out is what what our seniors are
[22:08]
interested in uh going over adding to
[22:12]
how we get the information out
[22:15]
there my suggestion would be because
[22:19]
there uh obviously the work plan has all
[22:22]
of the different domains that are based
[22:24]
upon um age friendly and um what our
[22:27]
recertification was um given that city
[22:31]
council kind of approved the the kind of
[22:33]
the direction and the two plans I think
[22:36]
it might be good to focus on those two
[22:38]
areas and obviously um communication and
[22:41]
marketing can fall under components of
[22:43]
those two events um but not wanting to
[22:48]
deviate too much because again the two
[22:50]
events that we have are going to take a
[22:53]
decent amount of planning and
[22:55]
preparation maybe in that next year
[22:58]
maybe there is a focus on um and that is
[23:01]
one of the components that I know um not
[23:04]
to get too far ahead but the isolation
[23:07]
and loneliness that was um included in
[23:09]
some of the uh subcommittee reports that
[23:12]
was part of the um some of the focus
[23:15]
that I think um the health there wanted
[23:18]
to kind of bring a springboard to some
[23:21]
of those
[23:22]
conversations so it might be good to do
[23:25]
some of the focus on that and then maybe
[23:27]
as you go through that process maybe it
[23:30]
is looking at maybe focusing on that for
[23:33]
the the next work plan so that we can
[23:35]
have a slightly larger conversation on
[23:38]
that and obviously there's there are
[23:40]
components that will come with the two
[23:43]
events that you're planning but um when
[23:46]
you start to add a lot of other pieces
[23:52]
um it it's and it it I feel weird saying
[23:55]
this but it's March already
[23:58]
um and time is definitely going pretty
[24:01]
quickly um the the events are going to
[24:04]
come sooner be before we know it so um
[24:09]
to add a lot of additional things on top
[24:11]
of that might be a lot for the
[24:13]
commission to take on at least at this
[24:15]
point with two events that need to be
[24:17]
worked on as well so that would be my
[24:20]
suggestion is to put some of those
[24:22]
pieces as subsets because they
[24:25]
absolutely relate to the two events that
[24:28]
the commission is going to be planning
[24:30]
and then maybe we can look at
[24:32]
highlighting some of those other um
[24:34]
pieces more in depth um after the
[24:38]
events those ideas that were mentioned
[24:41]
today they can go under the notes column
[24:43]
and we can add some
[24:45]
suggestion are so we want to make some
[24:47]
things explicit and not let them go so
[24:51]
we could just add them in that area not
[24:53]
any of the big categories we're going to
[24:55]
keep with the domains and and add the
[24:57]
emergency prepar
[24:59]
we so I think all ideas are great but I
[25:03]
think we should get written down in the
[25:05]
notes section so if you could maybe I
[25:09]
don't know write them down and hand them
[25:11]
in and we
[25:13]
can
[25:16]
because WR them to you send them to me
[25:22]
to Jamie and she could compile it yes
[25:24]
and that will be included yes
[25:28]
in our minds like we don't want to
[25:30]
forget anything
[25:32]
um because I remember when I was the one
[25:35]
that gave the community surveys to
[25:37]
Bridgepoint and to the
[25:39]
teres and um so at bridg point it was
[25:44]
fine they didn't have any problem with
[25:46]
it but they were concerned that they
[25:47]
didn't have enough residents that would
[25:49]
be able to
[25:51]
participate a large percentage of their
[25:53]
residents are um quite ill or whatever
[25:57]
and so but they willingly took them and
[26:00]
then when we only got a few back I
[26:02]
talked to the director and um I I said
[26:08]
well maybe do you think it would be
[26:09]
possible I know that some of the clients
[26:11]
can't fill it out but they might be able
[26:13]
to work this in do you think their their
[26:16]
family member could fill it out on their
[26:18]
behalf and they said they would try that
[26:20]
and we get them like 14 or 16 more so
[26:24]
that so you know they they didn't think
[26:26]
of that so it was kind of a it's
[26:28]
important to show your face and I
[26:31]
brought little little gift things to and
[26:35]
anyway but I want to point out the
[26:37]
difference when I went to The
[26:38]
Terraces um the reception it was a week
[26:42]
later the reception didn't know what I
[26:44]
was talking about you know she didn't
[26:46]
know what to do with these things so I
[26:48]
said why don't you take them and then
[26:49]
I'll talk to the director again and then
[26:52]
maybe you can figure out she will let
[26:55]
you know you know how to proceed it
[26:57]
turns out that they we wanted them we
[26:59]
knew that everyone had a mailbox that
[27:01]
was internal not from the post office so
[27:04]
a box that people could just pick up
[27:05]
their stuff and we wanted them just put
[27:07]
in there so it turns out that um that
[27:11]
the Terrace's required a letter of
[27:14]
endorsement um in order to do that they
[27:17]
couldn't just stick things in the boxes
[27:19]
so that's the first thing first time we
[27:22]
had heard of it and also Janie we you
[27:25]
know we didn't know we had to do that
[27:26]
and so it was kind of too late at that
[27:29]
point to figure out like who do we what
[27:30]
do we do that what do we say and and we
[27:33]
just thought it was kind of a barrier to
[27:35]
giving good service to their clients
[27:36]
because they have the most independent
[27:38]
people over there vast majority anyway
[27:42]
so so we didn't get very many from the
[27:44]
terroristes actually and I think we
[27:48]
would have gotten a lot more if they had
[27:51]
access to our stuff you know they would
[27:52]
have participated so we have to you know those nuances so having that
[27:57]
example then we we don't do that again
[27:59]
you know we get the letter of
[28:00]
endorsement whatever it's going to be if
[28:02]
we want to go in there or make a talk or
[28:04]
do something like that even though I
[28:06]
knew people from the inside they weren't
[28:07]
able to move mountains for me so yeah
[28:12]
maybe if you were there it would have
[28:15]
been okay so anyway if you could just
[28:17]
email your suggestions to Jamie that
[28:19]
would be great and then I was wondering
[28:22]
I saw a little bit of a conflict I just
[28:24]
want to point out I don't know where it
[28:26]
is maybe maybe you guys know but you
[28:28]
know we speak about this speaker series
[28:30]
but I don't see it explicitly in here in
[28:33]
the work plan do does anybody know where
[28:35]
it
[28:37]
is it was proposed as part of the
[28:42]
socializing um social participation
[28:46]
right but I just don't see it at the
[28:47]
work plan do you do you see it I don't
[28:50]
see it because it was just mentioned and
[28:51]
we were going to discuss it later so I
[28:55]
guess we can discuss it right now
[28:58]
and I think put it in however that would
[29:01]
become another event we already have two
[29:03]
events with it I mean that's I thought
[29:06]
that's what bill was working on forood
[29:08]
well wasn't it we were thinking it would
[29:10]
be an outgrowth of the health fair right
[29:14]
it's to we try to get that organized and
[29:17]
but the speakers would then there'll be
[29:19]
many topics that will not be covered
[29:21]
adequately at the health fair so we
[29:23]
thought that would provide the basis for
[29:26]
developing the speaker youring
[29:28]
so speaker series will something that
[29:31]
happens after the that's the way I saw
[29:34]
it but it's just not not here at all and
[29:35]
I thought it was kind of a really
[29:37]
important thing that we wanted to do
[29:38]
going we were going to be working with
[29:41]
Chris so Clarity on that
[29:44]
um the the presentations were a
[29:47]
component of the health fair so the
[29:50]
health fair is already listed um there
[29:53]
is an item on our agenda so that we can
[29:55]
provide additional information on how
[29:58]
speakers and the series have um
[30:01]
historically been done through our adult
[30:03]
50 plus program if that is something um
[30:07]
that the senior commission would like to
[30:09]
add after that and as um commissioner
[30:12]
gallager Thompson mentioned um it
[30:16]
is the starting point was supposed to be
[30:20]
with the health fair and to hopefully
[30:22]
then lead into some additional program
[30:25]
uh program elements so that is is if
[30:28]
that is something that after we get to
[30:31]
that um part if we do want to expand
[30:35]
that or if there is a specific topic or
[30:38]
area that the commission wants to cover
[30:40]
we can absolutely um add that that is
[30:43]
item number six which we'll get to but I
[30:45]
thought if if it's an outshoot or growth
[30:48]
of of the healthare which is the way it
[30:50]
was originally invisioned actually we'
[30:52]
going have speakers or or a panel in
[30:54]
another room at the healthare as one
[30:57]
option and then the speakers was going
[30:59]
to come out I just think we should um
[31:01]
just like we did the other topic that we
[31:04]
should put it in the notes that it you
[31:07]
know somehow get in writing there
[31:08]
because it's not it's not on the work
[31:10]
plan at
[31:11]
all so we
[31:14]
and one suggestion and so I know that is
[31:19]
and we will definitely do our best to
[31:21]
get the high Lev pieces um but the just
[31:26]
similar to our minutes as as well it's
[31:28]
not necessarily a line item detail of
[31:31]
everything that we're going to be doing
[31:35]
that would be a lot of recordkeeping so
[31:37]
again the work plan is supposed to be
[31:39]
the the the generalized Direction um as
[31:42]
an example for events you can get as
[31:45]
granular as there's the layout there's
[31:48]
the marketing there's the presentations
[31:51]
all of those pieces so again the idea
[31:54]
behind each of those pieces is the
[31:57]
highlevel piece pieces versus each
[32:00]
individual segment we can do some uh
[32:04]
summaries so that the commission
[32:07]
understands what each of those pieces
[32:09]
and what goes into those events but it's
[32:12]
not going to be an all exhaustive
[32:14]
listing of all ev Everything um that
[32:18]
goes into each of those events if the
[32:21]
commission again that's how we've
[32:24]
generally handled um the the work plan
[32:26]
minutes
[32:28]
those types of
[32:30]
things I think we are going to need
[32:32]
notes for the for the health fair
[32:35]
because there's so many moving parts
[32:41]
thator thank
[32:45]
you I think we
[32:47]
are
[32:50]
Pages there are lots of moving parts and
[32:53]
different aspects of coordination that
[32:56]
we should go on so I don't know if
[32:58]
that's something that we should be doing
[33:00]
should we be keeping those that Detail
[33:03]
no absolutely so Clarity on that is uh
[33:07]
because the com the comments were
[33:10]
specifically to the work plan the work
[33:13]
plan is not going to be an all-inclusive
[33:15]
list now I'm not that's not to say that
[33:18]
the subcommittee and working with staff
[33:21]
absolutely there's going to be and M the
[33:25]
um what the subcommittee has submitted
[33:28]
um even two for their um ad hoc
[33:31]
subcommittee reports those are going to
[33:33]
be coming forward to the commission but
[33:36]
all of those notes are not going to be
[33:39]
individually listed in the work plan I
[33:41]
think that's what I'm trying to convey
[33:44]
is that this is not necessarily going to
[33:47]
be the the main place where you're going
[33:50]
to reference all of those individual
[33:53]
notes so by no means am I saying don't
[33:56]
take notes um obviously for some of
[33:58]
those events that is going to be helpful
[34:01]
but in regards to the work plan it's not
[34:04]
going to be individually listed but we
[34:07]
can do basic summaries to help identify
[34:11]
some of those things going along with
[34:12]
the events that we're going on I don't
[34:15]
need I have a loud voice so um can I
[34:19]
propose that simple solution if we would
[34:22]
like to have notes and we will
[34:24]
increasingly need those notes whoever is
[34:27]
making the notes send them to Jamie she
[34:31]
can send it to all of us and we keep
[34:34]
those notes because we are the ones who
[34:36]
are going to need that she doesn't need
[34:37]
to put them on the work plan they won't
[34:40]
right but the adop committees or the
[34:42]
working cars to take notes about their
[34:45]
discussions and yes but it doesn't reach
[34:47]
all
[34:49]
of that's go yes so process wise um and
[34:55]
that's again the benefit of
[34:59]
the the different components so again
[35:02]
when things need to come back to the
[35:04]
full commission the sub the ad hoc
[35:06]
subcommittee usually provides or I
[35:09]
include that in the report that goes
[35:11]
along with that agenda item all of that
[35:14]
information is included in the packet
[35:16]
and is sent out to the full commission
[35:19]
now individually I cannot send ad hoc
[35:23]
committee notes to everyone in between
[35:26]
all the meetings because that again if
[35:28]
it's to the full commission it needs to
[35:30]
be a part of the packet where the full
[35:32]
commission gets that again that's the
[35:34]
benefit of why ad hoc committees are
[35:37]
created or working pairs are created so
[35:40]
it makes the commission a little bit
[35:42]
more M to do very specific tasks related
[35:46]
to the events or the topics that you're
[35:49]
working on So within the subcommittee or
[35:51]
your working pair you can work on that
[35:54]
information obviously in conjunction or
[35:56]
collaboration
[35:58]
staff but it it has to be specific to
[36:02]
those tasks obviously what the full
[36:04]
commission needs to get will be included
[36:06]
in those packets for those regular
[36:08]
meetings special meetings um but
[36:12]
everything won't go to
[36:16]
everyone um I I know it seems a little
[36:18]
bit specific but again it's to make sure
[36:23]
that we are
[36:24]
not um making a little bit of
[36:28]
uh messiness with um with the the brown
[36:32]
act
[36:35]
yes both clear on that I know it's clear
[36:38]
as mud but if there's if there are more
[36:42]
questions um I I can I can help navigate
[36:46]
those but again um similar to today's
[36:49]
agenda things that need to go to the
[36:52]
full commission were included in today's
[36:55]
packet um the ad hoc committee the
[36:57]
working pairs can absolutely send you
[37:01]
know within those specific groups on the
[37:03]
tasks that they've been assigned you can
[37:06]
create those notes work together on
[37:09]
those different elements what needs to
[37:11]
be brought forward if you have questions
[37:13]
on that we staff can assist with
[37:16]
bringing that forward to the full
[37:19]
commission does that
[37:25]
help okay moving along
[37:28]
well to the senior
[37:37]
healthare so what you have um included
[37:40]
here for the senior health fair um there
[37:45]
have been some really good um meetings
[37:48]
um and uh once I go over a little bit
[37:52]
that was a portion of the presentation
[37:55]
that also came forward during the The
[37:57]
Joint meeting with city council as well
[37:59]
and again as the commission um
[38:02]
Representatives mentioned a lot of
[38:04]
support um also included the ad hoc
[38:07]
subcommittee report which has elements
[38:10]
of what was presented to city council um
[38:13]
addition to a few others but I will turn
[38:15]
it over to um commissioner Gallagher
[38:18]
Thompson if you wanted uh because there
[38:20]
are some specific things that the uh ad
[38:23]
hoc subcommittee wanted to get feedback
[38:26]
from the full commission on
[38:29]
yeah thank you yeah so we're very
[38:32]
excited about this it seems like a great
[38:34]
opportunity and really happy to be um at
[38:39]
this point because I think we a really
[38:41]
good point in the planning process we
[38:44]
haven't contacted any speakers yet we
[38:47]
haven't gotten into any of any of the weeds because had to be approved by
[38:53]
the city council and now we have the
[38:55]
opportunity to get your your all
[38:57]
feedback so I think one of the key
[39:01]
issues ising of speakers how are going
[39:05]
to divide up the time and what should be
[39:08]
the focus in in the way of content so I
[39:12]
think that's an important discussion
[39:14]
item we have put things into two big
[39:17]
buckets you might say which is promoting
[39:19]
mental health wellness and promoting
[39:22]
physical health and well-being and we
[39:25]
thought under each of those there would
[39:27]
a keynote
[39:28]
speaker who would give
[39:34]
highlights because in 45 minutes you
[39:37]
can't do much more than that you can
[39:39]
give you know kind of the vi 30,000 feet
[39:42]
and that's where this series hopefully
[39:46]
develop to go into more depth you know
[39:49]
for example on brain health we have a
[39:53]
great deal of research now that have
[39:55]
very specific recommendations for people
[39:58]
there's a list of them uh and if we do
[40:00]
these things we might prevent dementia
[40:02]
in ourselves or we might delay the
[40:05]
progression if we have a relative with
[40:07]
dementia that seems pretty important for
[40:10]
older people to know about but what you
[40:12]
can do in 45 minutes is mention these
[40:15]
things but you can't really go into much
[40:17]
detail about how do you do these things
[40:20]
how do you make these lifestyle Ked so
[40:23]
and what are some of the obstacles
[40:25]
you're going to face so um we have Bill
[40:30]
and I have volunteer to generate the
[40:33]
speakers and what Jim is going to do is
[40:36]
to help us figure out the topics within
[40:38]
the subtopics within the speakers so
[40:42]
these know Bo network of people they can
[40:46]
talk about a 100 topics under mental
[40:49]
health you know and another 150 under
[40:52]
physical health and wellness right so we
[40:53]
have to narrow it down to what do we
[40:56]
think is the most
[40:57]
seems going to fit right right so
[41:00]
thought getting your feedback what do
[41:02]
you think is the most relevant so we can
[41:05]
choose the speaker better um is a very
[41:09]
important topic for discussion a second
[41:11]
topic for discussion has to do with the
[41:14]
um setting up the working pairs uh we
[41:17]
really need to do that we really need
[41:20]
the help of working Pairs and we have
[41:22]
several topics there that you see that
[41:24]
were uh suggested uh like Refreshments
[41:28]
vendors giveaways what goes on the flyer
[41:34]
um so that's important for today and the
[41:37]
third thing that I think is very
[41:39]
important that relates to all of this is
[41:41]
the structure how are we going to
[41:43]
structure it uh are we going to have for
[41:47]
example two keynote speakers where each
[41:50]
of them talks for about 45 minutes then
[41:53]
there's a 15minute Q&A and in between
[41:56]
times people go to the various
[41:59]
vendors that's one way to structure it
[42:02]
another way to structure it is to have
[42:04]
panels so instead of focusing on one
[42:08]
main speaker for each topic area you
[42:10]
could have three or four that delve into
[42:14]
their particular area of expertise right
[42:16]
so on the mental health mental health
[42:19]
and wellness you could have somebody who
[42:21]
talks about depression somebody who
[42:23]
knows something about anxiety somebody
[42:25]
else who talks about family stress so
[42:28]
you could have several speakers on a
[42:30]
panel taking up roughly the same amount
[42:33]
of time maybe a little bit longer time
[42:36]
um and that might be more
[42:38]
interesting another thought on structure
[42:41]
was to have um choices for people to
[42:45]
have choices rather than have everyone
[42:48]
sitting in a room listening to one
[42:50]
speaker or a panel of speakers maybe
[42:53]
people would prefer to have choices as
[42:56]
to what they would go to and so it would
[42:58]
be perhaps good to have shorter times
[43:02]
multiple speakers multiple topics but
[43:04]
shorter
[43:06]
times those are the three big options we
[43:09]
talked about and I would say amongst Jim
[43:11]
and Bill and I and Jamie we and Bridget
[43:15]
was there yeah and Chris was there too
[43:17]
and I don't think we came to any
[43:19]
conclusion I think we came to the to the
[43:22]
conclusion that you all needed to direct
[43:24]
us as to how to structure it so that
[43:27]
will determine then the choice of the
[43:29]
speakers it will also help with the
[43:32]
vendors because we want the vendors to
[43:34]
relate to the topics the speakers are
[43:36]
talking
[43:37]
about um so I hope that's helpful to
[43:42]
give this kind of a frame of vers to get
[43:44]
started so yeah so one of the things
[43:47]
that I had in my mind when I very very
[43:51]
initially thought about this topic was
[43:53]
that we would have a time from about
[43:57]
10:30 in the morning till 2:00 in the
[44:00]
afternoon which makes us have quite a
[44:03]
lot of time to have several
[44:05]
speakers um I had also talked with Los
[44:08]
alos Hill at that point Kavita tanka was
[44:11]
somebody I could speak with and I asked
[44:14]
if she could provide a meal because
[44:18]
there's not much participation from Los
[44:20]
alos Hills and Jim and I are from there
[44:23]
and so let her give us food and she had
[44:25]
said yes we can explore it so I don't
[44:27]
know how far whether that is a good ask
[44:30]
or not but I thought maybe lunchtime can
[44:33]
be sponsored from Los Altos Hill that
[44:36]
gives us a break because Los Altos is
[44:38]
giving us space who braks people yes and
[44:42]
then uh to have it in different rooms
[44:45]
I'm not sure if we have so much space at
[44:47]
the center I don't know if we have just
[44:49]
one room or what the facilities are that
[44:52]
are available that would determine what
[44:54]
we can do there are multiple things
[44:59]
available so prority on that um
[45:04]
the here at the center we have multiple
[45:07]
spaces reserved on both of the days
[45:09]
depending on um obviously the the first
[45:13]
uh I should say first priority Choice
[45:16]
was the date in September just because
[45:19]
the fall fling is planned for October so
[45:21]
having two backtack events might be a
[45:23]
little bit um stressful uh to do things
[45:28]
um all in one month um but that backup
[45:31]
date in October for the health there is
[45:34]
there so space is not an option or space
[45:37]
is not an issue um here at the community
[45:40]
center for the health fair we do have
[45:42]
multiple spaces which includes this room
[45:45]
um Manzanita across the way um the large
[45:48]
space Grand Oak um and addition to um I
[45:52]
think apricot which is also off of the
[45:55]
um the court yard in regards to time
[45:59]
frame um the original time that uh the
[46:02]
commission had discussed was noon to 3
[46:06]
but it still kind of covers that
[46:07]
lunchtime time frame um so the current
[46:11]
time frame um can be expanded a little
[46:14]
bit um although the longer uh time
[46:17]
frames it kind of spreads out um our
[46:20]
experience in Recreation is that
[46:23]
sometimes when you give too much time it
[46:26]
spreads out and getting vendors to
[46:29]
commit to that amount of time um can be
[46:32]
a little bit more challenging so a
[46:35]
condensed time um you might get a better
[46:38]
turnout um as well um one other
[46:41]
suggestion and this is open the
[46:43]
commission can provide feedback to the
[46:46]
ad hoc subcommittee as far as what the
[46:49]
um setup might be for the presentations
[46:54]
uh you might have different opinions but
[46:57]
uh the at least
[46:59]
staff simple is tends to be a little bit
[47:03]
better especially for first time um as
[47:06]
you work to plan events sometimes when
[47:10]
it gets overly complicated um the public
[47:14]
may get confused so my suggestion would
[47:17]
definitely be to air on the side of
[47:20]
Simplicity just to make the messaging a
[47:22]
little bit easier to the public but uh
[47:27]
whatever feedback um you would like to
[47:30]
uh share with the subcommittee just
[47:32]
wanted to share those additional um my
[47:35]
pieces of
[47:38]
information I'm was wondering I just it
[47:40]
just came my mind that another way to do
[47:43]
it would be like from 12: to 1 or
[47:46]
whatever time either I thought we could
[47:48]
maybe start the whole thing out with the
[47:50]
panel because it's going to take a lot
[47:52]
of people to have multiple speakers in
[47:55]
different rooms and be very if it's
[47:58]
simultaneous with all the vendors so if
[48:01]
we separated out the panel if that's the
[48:04]
way it's going to be like 122 or
[48:07]
whatever and then the um the exhibits
[48:10]
will be a some two-hour block because
[48:13]
they I think that's enough time two two
[48:15]
and a half I don't know what the timing
[48:16]
is exactly but gr Road I think was three
[48:19]
hours total not sure anyway it was just
[48:23]
another idea of how to make it maybe
[48:26]
simp a little
[48:28]
bit Grant Park was two hours total Jane
[48:32]
I'm not quite understanding what you
[48:34]
mean by a panel if we talking about
[48:35]
different speakers so they'd be talking
[48:38]
on different topics well that's one one
[48:41]
thing we also discussed the panel I see
[48:44]
that it was two different I see two
[48:46]
different things okay so let me just
[48:48]
finish what I was saying earlier since
[48:50]
Jamie gave some of the answers so the
[48:52]
idea in my mind was that we would have
[48:55]
in one room some some either posters or
[49:00]
self-paced
[49:02]
learning things so that we don't have
[49:05]
everyone
[49:07]
attending everything at once so if they
[49:10]
don't want to attend let's say Dementia
[49:11]
or fall prevention they've learned about
[49:13]
fall prevention they don't attend there
[49:15]
they come and look at some other posters
[49:18]
or some interactive
[49:21]
vendors and so I was thinking just maybe
[49:24]
of two rooms so lectures in one that
[49:26]
would be staggered one time uh one the
[49:29]
other time another we would have vendors
[49:31]
coming in at different time so we don't
[49:33]
take up their time and people have a
[49:35]
choice to attend something or not and
[49:37]
have no more than two or three topics we
[49:40]
can have several but it's too much
[49:43]
nobody will say it's not a
[49:47]
conference that's
[49:49]
it so Jim in the past you've had
[49:52]
somebody you've had
[49:54]
events how many are we talking you know
[49:58]
if you're doing
[50:00]
space and
[50:03]
then it could be split up so many
[50:08]
differents
[50:12]
ands adult 50 offers more of a space so
[50:16]
that way we could do a um
[50:19]
educational sign up that type of thing
[50:22]
and many
[50:25]
vendors I mean so they're not slashed
[50:28]
by the event that was held down at Grant
[50:32]
Park there were probably about 30 there
[50:36]
were probably about 30 vendors that
[50:38]
could um comfortably fit in the Grant
[50:43]
Park multi-purpose room that that
[50:46]
particular event was 2 hours and it was
[50:49]
just vendors there was not a
[50:52]
presentation or Workshop component so
[50:56]
that that the space um that I would
[50:59]
suggest is to have the vendors located
[51:02]
in the grand oak because that will be um
[51:05]
the easiest fit for where the vendors
[51:07]
Could Happen um for those that might
[51:11]
have heard about our open house this
[51:13]
past uh weekend um recreation parks and
[51:17]
recreation actually hosted and it was
[51:19]
obviously not specific to um a senior
[51:22]
health fair but it was um a compilation
[51:26]
of what our department and the the city
[51:30]
um potentially offers whether it was
[51:32]
through classes through our contract
[51:34]
instructors or Community organizations
[51:37]
like the Los Altos Stage Company or the
[51:41]
history museum we had um roughly 25
[51:45]
vendors um here in the community center
[51:48]
and our layout was a little bit
[51:50]
different um we had the vendors in the
[51:53]
lobby and some of the different spaces
[51:56]
so depending on what the um consensus
[51:59]
the commission would like to do um we
[52:02]
obviously the grand oak space is a very
[52:05]
large space that can accommodate much
[52:08]
more than um 30 vendors um we could
[52:11]
easily do that depending on the the
[52:14]
focus of topics that the commission
[52:16]
would like to specify for the event um
[52:21]
in regards to spaces again this space um
[52:25]
Manzanita and some of of the uh and um
[52:28]
apricot are available so if you wanted
[52:31]
depending on the direction the
[52:33]
commission wanted if you want to do uh
[52:37]
again one two to three topics um so that
[52:40]
you have different spaces my one
[52:43]
suggestion is that um the event is
[52:46]
currently planned from noon to 3 3 hours
[52:50]
is uh is a decent it is a decent amount
[52:54]
of time and you will have some that some
[52:57]
members of the community that may just
[52:59]
want to see the vendors you may have
[53:02]
some that will come specifically for the
[53:04]
speakers that you potentially plan but
[53:08]
you will want to probably plan for both
[53:11]
of those options um because you may and
[53:13]
then you will have some that want to
[53:15]
participate in both um that both will be
[53:18]
a draw so you'll just want to make sure
[53:21]
that you provide opportunities for the public if they want to do one or the
[53:27]
other or both um as the commission kind
[53:30]
of determines what structure and f um
[53:35]
topics you want to focus
[53:38]
on one thing I forgot to mention and I
[53:41]
apologize for this was that what Bill
[53:44]
had what bill would like to do is
[53:46]
present conceptual framework so he
[53:49]
envisioned this as being from about like
[53:52]
1210 to 12:30 20 minutes he would do an
[53:56]
overview what is healthy aging what do
[53:58]
we mean by that and how so we mean
[54:02]
physical health Mental Health social um
[54:05]
and Technology awareness and all that
[54:08]
environment excuse me so he would talk
[54:10]
about all the various components of
[54:13]
healthy aging how do we promote that and
[54:16]
then the choice of the the panelist we
[54:19]
have three p three people on the panel
[54:22]
they would give a brief overview of
[54:24]
their topic let's say it was
[54:27]
uh mental health and next person talks
[54:29]
about physical health next person talks
[54:31]
about brain health then those three
[54:34]
speakers let's pretend for a moment
[54:37]
those three speakers then go to the
[54:38]
three breakout rooms the three large
[54:40]
rooms additional rooms and do their oneh
[54:44]
hour talk where they go in more depth on
[54:47]
that
[54:48]
topic so the vendors are happening in
[54:50]
the O in the grand oak room and in the
[54:54]
other three rooms you'd have a speaker
[54:56]
but the public has been introduced to
[54:58]
the talk of the speaker by these little
[55:00]
bites that they've done in their
[55:02]
panel so some speaker might get only a
[55:05]
few people and another speaker will get
[55:07]
an awful lot because they're more
[55:09]
interested so that was how uh he thought
[55:12]
to kick it off with a with a keynote on
[55:15]
healthy aging what is that and then the
[55:18]
panel um giving the bites the sound bit
[55:21]
so to speak and then the three in depth
[55:23]
presentations in three different rooms
[55:26]
so so they would have a choice of any
[55:28]
attending one of those three probably
[55:32]
people will get up and walk around and
[55:34]
mo around and we going spend 50 minutes
[55:37]
in one and sometime in another and then
[55:39]
they'll go to the vendor so we we saw it
[55:42]
as an opportunity to kind of showcase
[55:44]
the knowledge in this area about healthy
[55:48]
aging and to bring to people's attention
[55:51]
the the different dimensions of it we're
[55:53]
all aware because we're this is what we
[55:55]
do right this life but for the average
[55:59]
person that they may not be so aware so
[56:02]
I think that was part of our part of our
[56:05]
thinking so I apologize that I didn't
[56:07]
present that properly at the
[56:09]
beginning thank you does anyone want to
[56:12]
add more any suggestions any other
[56:14]
suggestions for the ad hoc committee yes
[56:18]
you I just wanted to say in
[56:21]
consideration period is open from 12: to
[56:23]
3 it's people be coming in at two at one
[56:28]
and they're going to miss that so I
[56:30]
don't I think we need to consider how
[56:32]
it's set up how it's marketed and during
[56:36]
that whole time and keep in mind we also
[56:39]
want educate the public but also give
[56:42]
them the opportunity to talk to the
[56:45]
vendors and then find out where the
[56:48]
which then
[56:51]
speak quick question do we have any uh
[56:55]
data from the
[56:58]
we have do we have any information from
[57:00]
the grant uh Park program about how many
[57:05]
people went to how many vendors a how
[57:08]
many which vendors did you have and
[57:11]
which were popular do we have that yes
[57:15]
all the vendor list that was utilized
[57:18]
for um the Grant Park event in October
[57:21]
last year was shared with the full
[57:24]
commission so we do have those vendor
[57:27]
names and contacts and that is I think a
[57:30]
good starting point template that we can
[57:33]
then start to build off of depending on
[57:36]
um maybe the next conversation could be
[57:39]
what Focus topics um can be for those um
[57:44]
the presentations that are given at the
[57:47]
health fair and again it's not a a
[57:50]
limited list but it could be you know if
[57:53]
it we can't quite get a speaker for that
[57:55]
particular day as Cher Cohen mentioned
[57:58]
it could potentially spring board spring
[58:00]
board into um some other um speaker
[58:04]
series later on down the the line for
[58:07]
the adult 50 plus program um Can might
[58:11]
tell us what was most popular so that can be our
[58:15]
current uh you know speakers on no I was
[58:19]
there quite a while so staff and I don't
[58:23]
know I think I'm not sure who else went
[58:25]
but it was we I don't think you guys
[58:28]
counted how many people actually came
[58:29]
but it was crowded and people it was it
[58:32]
was full from beginning to end
[58:34]
practically and I went in there and
[58:36]
there was a lot of good energy in there
[58:39]
you know it was a nice it was the right
[58:41]
amount of exhibits for the number of
[58:44]
vendors I mean for the number of it was
[58:47]
match between the residents that came
[58:49]
people and then but I think I I just
[58:52]
agree a little with Jamie I thought it
[58:54]
was very I thought it was too small of a
[58:57]
room there wasn't any breathing space
[58:59]
when it was really it was got quite busy
[59:01]
actually so we're going to have a much
[59:03]
bigger room and um and we'll probably
[59:07]
have more vendors but we don't want to
[59:09]
overdo it with the vendors so yeah and
[59:13]
but it was so popular really was and if
[59:15]
you see that open that list on your
[59:17]
email we can send it out again it was
[59:20]
very it was very diverse and and
[59:23]
comprehensive so we'll just have that as
[59:25]
a starting I me you you guys SW
[59:28]
so I have another question um I know it
[59:32]
is popular for events uh for Health Fair
[59:35]
events for
[59:37]
Indians um to have a nurse on the
[59:40]
premisis who would measure your blood
[59:43]
pressure and can we have that or it's
[59:45]
not they didn't have it but we could add
[59:47]
that that would be great
[59:51]
that would a nurse come we would get
[59:54]
someone yeah who get nurses or Public
[59:57]
Health Department yeah I think that
[59:59]
would be easy to get nurses do that it's they like to volunteer and do stuff
[1:00:03]
like that but anyway I mean that's just
[1:00:06]
my I think it would be a good addition
[1:00:08]
for all cultures you know because that's
[1:00:10]
like laying on the hands you know they
[1:00:12]
like that and some places do blood
[1:00:14]
sugars and other stuff like that but
[1:00:16]
blood pressures are the easiest they're
[1:00:18]
not invasive and people like to do that
[1:00:21]
you a great idea they go to the drug
[1:00:23]
stores they their arms in the the
[1:00:25]
machine they love it
[1:00:26]
yeah that's a draw I
[1:00:33]
think thank you okay so you have enough
[1:00:35]
like things to add to so you can have
[1:00:38]
another committee and like maybe think take some of the stuff for a
[1:00:44]
proposal yeah what I would like though
[1:00:47]
to get some working pairs going because
[1:00:50]
um I think we need to get started you
[1:00:52]
know the vendors oh sorry again yeah
[1:00:56]
then I think we need to get the working
[1:00:58]
pairs started for example we're talking
[1:01:00]
about May or more that a lot
[1:01:05]
of do that sort of thing you
[1:01:13]
know overall you
[1:01:16]
know but vendors the other uh
[1:01:20]
Refreshments you mentioned about the
[1:01:22]
possability but I seem like some IDE how
[1:01:26]
many people would show up and it
[1:01:28]
wouldn't be just lunch it would be
[1:01:30]
drinks and you know healthy snacks and
[1:01:33]
so it wouldn't be lunch yeah since we're
[1:01:35]
meeting at noon like grab go it's got to
[1:01:38]
be but I can help to work on that I can
[1:01:40]
talk to the uh talk to Jamie and get
[1:01:44]
information I have I don't have a
[1:01:47]
problem and to call does working with
[1:01:50]
vendors means calling them and giving
[1:01:52]
them an idea of when I can help with
[1:01:54]
that I think we have a form letter also
[1:01:56]
that was
[1:01:57]
developed you know go ahead so when
[1:02:02]
determining the vendors I think to
[1:02:05]
coordinate with who the speakers are so
[1:02:07]
that way it's a it's a you're adding to
[1:02:11]
each other if you want to say and we're
[1:02:13]
not doing a
[1:02:16]
particular where you hits and Miss
[1:02:18]
they're all pretty much in the same area
[1:02:21]
whether it's brain health whether it's
[1:02:24]
isolation or what ever it is so
[1:02:26]
coordinate so who the speakers are going
[1:02:29]
to be I think will also lead into who
[1:02:34]
the vendors we go
[1:02:36]
for this will be a continued um topic uh
[1:02:41]
for the the next commission meeting in
[1:02:44]
April so maybe a good starting point
[1:02:47]
commissioner gets it is to start with
[1:02:50]
the template list that we had for the
[1:02:52]
event in October and then once sub
[1:02:56]
committee from the um discussion that
[1:02:59]
heard the def that the commission shared
[1:03:01]
at this meeting as the ad hoc committee
[1:03:04]
fine tunes the um the speakers at the
[1:03:08]
next meeting you can share kind of what
[1:03:10]
that direction is and then we can
[1:03:11]
continue to enhance the vendor list from
[1:03:15]
there can I ask a
[1:03:18]
question well I'm just saying you've got
[1:03:21]
if you have the gr vote way over there
[1:03:23]
you're talking about this particular one
[1:03:26]
in
[1:03:27]
apricot yes so we have grand oak we have
[1:03:31]
this space the one across the way which
[1:03:33]
is Manzanita and then we also have um
[1:03:37]
apricot which is the space closest to
[1:03:41]
the uh
[1:03:42]
playground I'm just thinking of the flow
[1:03:45]
of if you have people that are in the
[1:03:48]
vendors thinking of the flow I know
[1:03:50]
you've said you've had fendors in the
[1:03:53]
hallways rather than separate everybody
[1:03:57]
out regarding things to be able to I I'm
[1:04:02]
just wondering if you're gonna have
[1:04:03]
speakers do you have the vendors in the
[1:04:06]
hallway here as well as over there just
[1:04:10]
consideration better
[1:04:12]
FL your
[1:04:15]
notes all the suggestions and then that
[1:04:17]
this ad hoc committee can get
[1:04:25]
I'm gonna break my own Rule and say
[1:04:28]
something
[1:04:32]
here I think it's it's on yeah um so the
[1:04:35]
reason I want to speak is partly because
[1:04:38]
this was I worked in health and and part
[1:04:41]
my mych for a long time um and and the
[1:04:45]
city doesn't work in hell so when I
[1:04:50]
think particularly as you think about
[1:04:53]
the speaker
[1:04:54]
program um the city this event we going to be
[1:05:01]
brokering
[1:05:03]
opportunities for people to learn about
[1:05:06]
health care providers vendors Etc and
[1:05:09]
the speakers are speaking from their
[1:05:12]
area of expertise it should not be the
[1:05:16]
city saying this is what we say is
[1:05:19]
healthy for you it should be Dr XYZ so
[1:05:23]
um and I you know this is something
[1:05:24]
Jamie you may want to talk
[1:05:26]
gave and our City attorney so I think
[1:05:28]
it's very important that the city does
[1:05:31]
not offer Health advice I think that
[1:05:34]
might mean that commissioner now bu
[1:05:38]
maybe doesn't
[1:05:39]
speak so um I I just think we have to
[1:05:43]
keep in mind the separation of what
[1:05:45]
we're doing we're brokering information
[1:05:48]
we're not sponsoring it and particularly
[1:05:50]
in this day of age of Mis health
[1:05:53]
information
[1:05:55]
we're just broking opportunities to
[1:05:58]
learn more so I I would really like the
[1:06:01]
ad hoc committee to focus
[1:06:05]
on would having a nurse kind of thing
[1:06:09]
also yeah would having one of those also
[1:06:12]
become a problem because you have no no
[1:06:14]
the the nurse will be from some Health
[1:06:16]
Service the vendors will be representing
[1:06:18]
the vendors the speaker should have a
[1:06:21]
resume from an organization or whatever
[1:06:24]
that they're representing so everyone is
[1:06:26]
representing themselves and a Health
[1:06:29]
Service or whatever but if someone you
[1:06:33]
know if a commissioner is speaking about
[1:06:36]
what's important medically that's not
[1:06:38]
what the city does so I I just was
[1:06:41]
getting increasingly ansy and so sorry I
[1:06:44]
wanted
[1:06:45]
to
[1:06:48]
okay thank you very good good
[1:06:50]
clarification thank you thank you okay
[1:06:54]
so are we move gone go ahead thank you
[1:06:58]
um do you have all the um feedback that
[1:07:01]
you wanted to to get
[1:07:04]
uh any more pairs oh yeah refreshment oh
[1:07:08]
we don't talk about that I'm sorry
[1:07:10]
giveaway a giveaway some kind of bling
[1:07:13]
something you know to uh besides what
[1:07:16]
they'll pick up from the vendors they
[1:07:18]
vendors usually have things that they
[1:07:19]
give away so do we need giveaway we'
[1:07:23]
talked about that as possibly
[1:07:26]
for example vendors everything they
[1:07:29]
wanted they had tons of stuff we were
[1:07:31]
thinking a bag um try think
[1:07:36]
Jamie add on the vendors had them and so
[1:07:39]
everyone had an armful of tote bags so
[1:07:42]
we're good with that but I mean if you
[1:07:44]
can think of something that's free or
[1:07:46]
super cheap we don't have a big
[1:07:49]
budget and um yeah so anyway if you you
[1:07:53]
know your next meeting perhaps you could
[1:07:55]
think of you know this all the little
[1:07:58]
sub topics that you want and then we
[1:08:01]
will zoom into the working pairs at the
[1:08:03]
next meeting would that be in time
[1:08:05]
enough I think so we need marketing too
[1:08:08]
flyer marketing advertising for this
[1:08:10]
thing this event yeah do you folks do
[1:08:14]
the Flyers yes um if they're and that
[1:08:17]
can be based upon what the um what the
[1:08:22]
ad hoc subcommittee comes up with as far
[1:08:25]
as the specific topics um and as chair
[1:08:28]
Cohen mentioned that could be
[1:08:30]
potentially fine-tuned I think the the
[1:08:32]
biggest part is the Outreach to the
[1:08:34]
vendors which um it looks like we do
[1:08:37]
have um a a volunteer through
[1:08:40]
commissioner Dixit um and
[1:08:49]
then it thank you so much everybody for
[1:08:51]
your comments we appreciate them very
[1:08:54]
much he the next thing is the B
[1:08:58]
bling we have a little we going to do
[1:09:01]
that we have there's also a handout that
[1:09:04]
came in the packet it's item number five
[1:09:07]
page 11 right
[1:09:12]
okay everybody read this because it's so
[1:09:19]
important uh so we had a wonderful
[1:09:22]
meeting with staff cities providing a
[1:09:26]
lot of different things which is
[1:09:29]
wonderful um I've also talked with cl 55
[1:09:32]
and they're so appreciative of that they
[1:09:35]
also would like the opportunity to
[1:09:38]
utilize the Jingo corn hole the games
[1:09:42]
during the other evening uh events
[1:09:46]
throughout the year and I'll still try
[1:09:47]
it out see how they
[1:09:49]
work um entertainment we all have we
[1:09:53]
have set thank you very much Bridget
[1:09:56]
uh food question that's TB TBD prices
[1:10:01]
we're going to those that's on the list
[1:10:04]
of things to do I think the first thing
[1:10:07]
that needs to be done is the flyer come
[1:10:10]
out so that what they're hoping for is
[1:10:12]
to be able to get the information so
[1:10:14]
that way the Club 55 they can get it on
[1:10:19]
the on their calendar as
[1:10:22]
well is this a clarifying question um
[1:10:27]
because I know there has been um one
[1:10:29]
flyer for all of the events and then um
[1:10:33]
there probably should be one that is
[1:10:35]
specific to the um the enhanced one in
[1:10:39]
October um so that is something that we
[1:10:42]
can um staff usually assist in create in
[1:10:45]
that okay so they for sure wanted to be
[1:10:50]
able to get it on the
[1:10:52]
all-in-one okay great thank you
[1:10:56]
and then on the in hands so that'll be
[1:10:59]
super
[1:11:01]
um
[1:11:05]
okay uh I will say the marketing will be
[1:11:09]
an important aspect of it getting a
[1:11:12]
writer
[1:11:13]
for prior article which I think would
[1:11:17]
also benefit for the senior
[1:11:21]
healthare
[1:11:23]
um and
[1:11:26]
I mean the the
[1:11:28]
details still working together
[1:11:31]
decorations are going to be figuring
[1:11:32]
that out use some of of what is already
[1:11:35]
out there
[1:11:37]
um
[1:11:41]
so it's on its way I would say the
[1:11:46]
marketing figuring out the decorations
[1:11:49]
and getting the word out is really
[1:11:53]
what's
[1:11:56]
the date what
[1:11:59]
that oh the date is October 17th we have
[1:12:07]
that and so be last so they will be
[1:12:16]
also the idea of amplifying whatever
[1:12:20]
marketing
[1:12:21]
is we so so yeah so the Flint is October
[1:12:28]
yes 17 yes and health fair is September
[1:12:31]
yes
[1:12:41]
what what can we do what do you need us
[1:12:45]
to love that would love the writing of
[1:12:50]
an
[1:12:51]
article the getting together figuring
[1:12:54]
out to
[1:12:56]
folks um we have a limit of I think 180
[1:13:00]
people in the no how many people can so
[1:13:05]
the the room itself can host more um but
[1:13:09]
in regards to seating um part of the
[1:13:12]
conversation because there was going to
[1:13:14]
be music so a small open area where
[1:13:16]
people wanted to dance or move around
[1:13:20]
but the banquet style is but that's
[1:13:24]
taking up the whole Space um is 180 so
[1:13:28]
it might be a little bit less but you
[1:13:31]
will probably within the three-hour time
[1:13:33]
frame we'll have people come and go so
[1:13:37]
um the event itself can probably host
[1:13:39]
more but at any one given time seaing
[1:13:43]
wise probably around 150 with uh
[1:13:46]
probably at
[1:13:48]
least because some people will just
[1:13:50]
mingle correct will just mingle and not
[1:13:53]
necessarily sit correct
[1:13:55]
in the grand dop room
[1:14:02]
yes correct it'll follow along the same Avenue as all other events
[1:14:08]
where you pay $10 and you bring a bottle
[1:14:10]
of
[1:14:11]
wine okay I didn't know
[1:14:14]
that and so that way the thought was
[1:14:18]
making it free but then I was told
[1:14:21]
they're trained everybody's trained so
[1:14:24]
don't change
[1:14:34]
Co joint there and
[1:14:41]
adult
[1:14:46]
so
[1:14:47]
details I think the marketing and
[1:14:50]
getting a theme going it is Halloween
[1:14:52]
theme we wanted to get
[1:14:56]
and you're talking about little trophies
[1:14:59]
that type of thing would be an
[1:15:01]
additional
[1:15:03]
[Music]
[1:15:10]
fun is that fill in now yes it's a
[1:15:14]
Halloween thing I read the thing I
[1:15:16]
didn't never been to it
[1:15:20]
before joint but you oh right
[1:15:25]
that's been going on for a while yes CL
[1:15:27]
55 is like every month from May through
[1:15:31]
October every month so hopefully our
[1:15:35]
commissioners will come and visit the uh
[1:15:38]
spring or the club 55s on the third
[1:15:41]
Friday of the month starting in
[1:15:45]
May um is anybody a good writer I
[1:15:50]
pretend that I
[1:15:52]
am everything can be edited don't worry
[1:15:55]
right would you help me on that
[1:15:59]
sure be great so can you do the same
[1:16:03]
thing then the dolores's ad is going to
[1:16:06]
do come up with subsets of things that
[1:16:09]
you want exact tasks that we can
[1:16:11]
volunteer to be the working cars for
[1:16:14]
yeah for the next meeting and then we
[1:16:16]
could know list them up there get let's
[1:16:19]
send them out ahead of time so people
[1:16:20]
can be thinking get the packet yes you
[1:16:23]
know get dores you to get your thing in
[1:16:26]
the packet if you could you know so it
[1:16:28]
goes out so it goes out um the Thursday
[1:16:31]
before and that would really be helpful
[1:16:33]
that will make our meeting more
[1:16:35]
efficient and we can think of what we
[1:16:37]
want get your first second and third
[1:16:39]
choice and you might have to do two but
[1:16:41]
we'll see
[1:16:44]
okay okay thank you all very much is
[1:16:47]
that okay CHR do okay moving on so our
[1:16:52]
next thing is the speaker series and I
[1:16:54]
think we really
[1:16:56]
a little bit so this is more
[1:16:59]
informational so this is just um uh
[1:17:03]
receiving of the report so at the last
[1:17:06]
meeting the commission asked for
[1:17:08]
additional information on speaker series
[1:17:11]
and so what we have provided in the
[1:17:14]
report is some information on how um
[1:17:20]
speaker series are put together um
[1:17:23]
through our adult 50 plus program um so
[1:17:26]
if there are um more granular questions
[1:17:30]
um Chris um our Recreation coordinator
[1:17:34]
um who manages our adult 50 plus program
[1:17:36]
Pro can provide some additional context
[1:17:39]
um but it is a variety sometimes um
[1:17:42]
given feedback by the um members or the
[1:17:46]
community um staff sometimes reach out
[1:17:49]
to find vendors or um if there is um an
[1:17:53]
organization in the community
[1:17:55]
sometimes they reach out directly to
[1:17:57]
staff saying that we have um information
[1:18:00]
and uh that can be coordinated through
[1:18:02]
our staff depending on um the placement
[1:18:07]
uh occasionally the speakers uh are
[1:18:10]
usually after not always but it is
[1:18:14]
somewhat of a built-in audience we
[1:18:16]
sometimes connect it to the monthly
[1:18:19]
lunch either at Grant Park or the
[1:18:21]
community center so that it follows the
[1:18:25]
uh lunch occasionally we do host um
[1:18:29]
speaker uh series on other days besides
[1:18:32]
the lunch day um but that is sometimes
[1:18:35]
in connection with that particular event
[1:18:38]
um they happen both down at Grant Park
[1:18:41]
and here at the community center um at
[1:18:44]
both locations we have a variety of
[1:18:46]
different resources that they can use
[1:18:48]
sometimes it is just um speaking or they
[1:18:51]
may need access to audiovisual equipment
[1:18:54]
so whether it is here um in the grand
[1:18:57]
oak room or down at Grant Park there is
[1:19:00]
um a
[1:19:02]
portable um monitor that uh sometimes
[1:19:05]
speakers utilize as well too um most
[1:19:08]
recent and we've listed some of the ones
[1:19:11]
that have happened recently we had the
[1:19:14]
um the chief of police um provide a a
[1:19:19]
presentation um there was a travel
[1:19:21]
presentation by Dr Scott Katy um and
[1:19:24]
then obviously other local resources and
[1:19:27]
services and then there is one planned
[1:19:30]
um for March 5th which is this week um
[1:19:33]
Wednesday I believe right um and uh city
[1:19:36]
manager Gabe England will be providing
[1:19:39]
that um presentation as well so it is a
[1:19:44]
variety and we're always looking for
[1:19:46]
suggestions so if there are other topics
[1:19:49]
or other organizations that would be
[1:19:52]
beneficial for the program to explore
[1:19:55]
that is something that you could work um
[1:19:57]
or make those suggestions directly to
[1:20:00]
staff but we thought that this would be
[1:20:02]
helpful um given the connection with the
[1:20:06]
health fair and then potentially uh
[1:20:08]
future series as well so um staff is
[1:20:12]
available to answer any questions that
[1:20:14]
you might have but again it is um in
[1:20:17]
coordination with staff that sometimes
[1:20:19]
we reach out to find a specific um
[1:20:23]
vendor that might be able to provide the
[1:20:25]
information and resource to the
[1:20:27]
community or we do sometimes have um
[1:20:31]
organizations re reach out to us and
[1:20:33]
then stop for that opportunity
[1:20:38]
I had to do with Mex uh Mexico
[1:20:44]
and travel ones they're not health
[1:20:46]
related no no no no but this was more
[1:20:52]
historical Mexico
[1:20:55]
yeah monuma and Cortez and all the
[1:20:59]
Spanish
[1:21:00]
fistes if that part of travel I guess
[1:21:04]
you can travel in
[1:21:07]
time had a question um proly what uh uh
[1:21:12]
intervals have you had these and what
[1:21:14]
was the duration of each talk usually
[1:21:17]
the um the presentation is on average
[1:21:21]
about an hour um as we've kind of
[1:21:24]
discussed it is um you know when we put
[1:21:26]
it in connection with an event um having
[1:21:30]
people dedicate a longer period of time
[1:21:33]
is harder so usually the presentation is
[1:21:37]
um condensed um to be between 45 minutes
[1:21:41]
to an hour I would say that's a a good
[1:21:44]
average um and then it can sometimes go
[1:21:48]
a little bit longer um if it's a more
[1:21:50]
indepth presentation or it's kept to the
[1:21:54]
hour but it could be done in series so
[1:21:56]
it's done one is done um one month and
[1:21:59]
then the following month if there's a
[1:22:01]
followup um as an example the the travel
[1:22:04]
one um it was not necessarily all
[1:22:06]
condensed into one um as an example but
[1:22:10]
in a year how many would you
[1:22:13]
have that's a good question almost every
[1:22:16]
month almost just
[1:22:20]
almost right after the
[1:22:23]
lunch here
[1:22:27]
okay yeah I would say and there's been
[1:22:30]
more outside of that as well so again
[1:22:33]
it's not just the the lunch tends to
[1:22:37]
have a built-in audience then if it um
[1:22:41]
we offer a programmatic element that um
[1:22:44]
encourages people to stay um that now
[1:22:47]
not everyone chooses to stay sometimes
[1:22:50]
they move on to other things but there
[1:22:53]
are sometimes a good participation after
[1:22:57]
people are already there um but again as
[1:22:59]
I mentioned it's not just on the lunch
[1:23:01]
days we do provide other speakers at
[1:23:06]
other times that's a great point for us
[1:23:08]
to remember we were
[1:23:10]
planning it's it's in your handouts on
[1:23:13]
it's agenda item six page 13 if you want
[1:23:16]
to look it up
[1:23:17]
later okay thank you very much let's see
[1:23:21]
informational items there's fers that
[1:23:24]
we're going to I want to point out one I
[1:23:25]
don't know what order you're going to go
[1:23:26]
in but hoero is having a senior center I
[1:23:31]
mean a Health Care at senior center I
[1:23:33]
went to that last year to see how it was
[1:23:37]
before I went to ours and they made
[1:23:40]
theirs was fabulous it was fantastic and
[1:23:44]
um it was just it was different they
[1:23:46]
even had a little Jitney like a a longer
[1:23:50]
golf cart from the parking lot bringing
[1:23:53]
people up to the door was so nice but I
[1:23:56]

[1:23:58]
they're parking is way out but anyway so
[1:24:01]

[1:24:25]
another staff person it might have been
[1:24:26]
Chris Chris yeah and I went late so I I
[1:24:30]

[1:24:34]
handouts and um so and they had food
[1:24:37]

commissioner Co already mentioned the
[1:28:02]
health Expo meet up is an adult 50 plus
[1:28:05]
program where you can register today if
[1:28:09]
you're so inclined we're going to meet
[1:28:10]
up in cerino I believe it's the Memorial
[1:28:13]
Park picnic grounds which
[1:28:16]
is essentially at the same location as
[1:28:20]
the copertino senior center where we'll
[1:28:21]
meet up and have some snacks have some
[1:28:24]
socialization Community um where
[1:28:27]
participants can kind of freely explore
[1:28:29]
the Expo and as the Expo gets closer
[1:28:31]
we'll start sharing more as they start
[1:28:33]
to
[1:28:34]
publicize their e exhibits their events
[1:28:37]
their activities that are part of the
[1:28:39]
Meetup but more or less participants are independent to freely explore the uh
[1:28:44]
Expo but also know that the 50 plus will
[1:28:47]
be there at the picnic Center so I
[1:28:48]
didn't encourage you to consider going
[1:28:51]
like Jan Jane also put in a pretty good
[1:28:53]
plug for that
[1:28:57]
Expo your plus Community as well if you
[1:29:00]
want to come with us uh the other flyer
[1:29:03]
is the uh 15 plus program mailing list

[1:29:12]
technological skills open an email um

[1:29:17]

[1:31:25]
uh we celebrated the Chinese year of the
[1:31:30]
snake with with the all the the solar
[1:31:35]
group and uh they made these crochet
[1:31:38]
snakes the long snakes we went and put
[1:31:42]
them in an exhibit in Sunny Veil
[1:31:44]
library and they were there for the
[1:31:47]
whole month of January so we had five
[1:31:49]
snakes that were kept there they
[1:31:51]
diligently did all the crochet to part
[1:31:54]
because I told them Sola is not doing
[1:31:56]
any cultural exchange we've sometimes
[1:31:59]
we've had other people come in who are
[1:32:01]
not indians but they leave because
[1:32:03]
majority are Indian and they sometimes
[1:32:05]
just enjoy the food and go away but this
[1:32:09]
was our cultural exchange so that was
[1:32:11]
nice and I have yes and so now I have
[1:32:14]
these five snakes which I
[1:32:17]
want so some somewhere decorate
[1:32:20]
