Commission on Aging November 21, 2016
City campus in hopes of finding additional volunteers to provide transportation for the senior population.
Mr. Jantzen suggested that Ginny might contact representatives of organizations associated with Sun City
— WHO (Women Helping Others), Rotary, Kiwanis — to speak during a monthly meeting. Ms. Hahn
explained that there are many committees throughout the Sun City campus that have individual liaisons
who report to the NRO (Neighborhood Representative Organization). This way the NRO keeps informed
of activities throughout Sun City. This type of connection might be something that the Commission on
Aging might consider at some point in time. Ms. Hahn shared that the Sun City community is conducting
a strategic planning initiative process as to how best to provide for the increase of an aging population
within Sun City. Included in the planning process is consideration of assisted living facilities within Sun
City. Ms. Hahn mentioned that the Commission might consider sending members to attend various
choice Board/Commission/Committee meetings pertaining to senior citizens in order to keep the
Commission on Aging knowledgeable of what is being discussed/planned for the senior citizens in
Georgetown. Dental — Patricia Strickland. Bluebonnet Trails will be opening a pharmacy within their
facility in Round Rock in the spring of 2017. Ms. Strickland will plan site visits to a few dentists
regarding participation with non-profit organizations offering free or discounted dental care in Central
Texas. Ms. Strickland will continue working to introduce for implementation of a Public/Private program
"Georgetown Smiles", which was created within the Commission on Aging Dental Priority Initiative.
Housine — Virginia Lazenby and Donna Livingston. Ms. Livingston attended a housing meeting at which
Jennifer Bills, City of Georgetown Housing Coordinator, spoke. Miss Bills explained about a housing tax
credit and in addition, reporting that there are three new developments to be built by the end of 2018. Mr.
Jantzen reported that developers are beginning to designate portions of their developments to senior
housing which are homes built specifically to meet the needs of senior citizens. Mental Health — Gene
Jantzen. Mr. Jantzen reported that the Georgetown Behavioral Institute team spoke at a recent Sun City
Kiwanis meeting. The presentation went well and the Kiwanis members were very interested in the care
provided at the institute along with the programs offered.
E. Discussion of future agendas and priorities — Gene Jantzen, Board Chair. Status reports from the
Priority Initiatives will be given by the Board members. Eric Lashley, Library Director, and Patrick
Lloyd, Community Resources Coordinator, will present during the December meeting. Linda White will
follow-up with Nat Waggoner, Transportation Analyst, and Vickie Orcutt, Executive Director, Faith in
Action, to confirm their presentation during the December meeting. Mr. Jantzen asked the Commission
to actively seek presenters within the realm of their priority initiative and discuss a schedule to present
during the Commission's monthly meetings for 2017. The Commission discussed cancelling the January

offices being closed.
