Legislative Regular Agenda
The Commission on Aging will individually consider and possible take action on any or all of the following items:
C. Discussion regarding the upcoming four expiring terms of appointment in February 2017 on the
Commission on Aging Advisory Board – Gene Jantzen, Board Chair. Mr. Jantzen shared that the terms
of Dan Bonner, Gene Jantzen, Donna Livingston and Patricia Strickland will be expiring the end of
February 2017. In addition, the unexpired term of former Board member, William Dalton who resigned to
move out of state, has never been filled. Mr. Jantzen stated if any of those whose terms are expiring are

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. Housing – 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 meeting due
to the third Monday being Martin Luther King, Jr. Day with City, County and government offices being
closed.
