I. Overview of Commission on Aging’s presentation at the City Council Workshop on February
9, 2016 – Gene Jantzen, Board Chair. Mr. Jantzen gave an overview of the Commission on Aging’s
presentation to the City Council. Of those Board members present, all felt that the City Council
was very receptive of the Commission’s work this past year and were encouraging the Commission
to continue working with those agencies who provide services for the senior population within
Georgetown.
The Board discussed several thoughts pertaining to: 1) looking into medical needs of seniors, 2)
consider avenues to help Police Captain Waits introduce to the public the “Take Me Home
Program”, 3) produce an overall list of agencies throughout Georgetown who provide assistance to
seniors and find distribution points for availability of the flyers, 4) consider ways to assist the
Hispanic population in knowing the various agencies providing assistance to the senior population.
Chairman Jantzen suggested rather than introducing new projects to begin working with, the Board
should concentrate on their current projects, then later implement new projects. The Board was in
agreement. Donna Livingston shared for the Commission to consider rather than finding the
problems of the senior citizens, the Commission should find solutions to the problems that exist for
the seniors, for instance their transportation needs. The Board was in agreement.
J. Overview of Commission on Aging’s presentation at the Georgetown Ministerial Association
meeting on February 10, 2016 – Dan Bonner, Vice-Chairman, Commission on Aging. Mr.
Bonner shared that former Board member, Josie Zamora, did a very nice presentation to the
Georgetown Ministerial Association. The churches in Georgetown are very committed to being
responsive to the needs of the senior citizens. The Ministerial Association expressed a sincere
interest in actively working with the Commission on Aging. Mr. Bonner stated that he will serve
as the Commission’s liaison to the Ministerial Association.
K. Discussion on future agendas and priorities – Gene Jantzen, Board Chair. Ginny Hahn shared
that she and Dan Bonner would like to discuss the survey and present the final version of the
questions to the Board. Chief Sullivan would like to bring a representative of the Americans with
Disabilities Act to speak to the Board early this summer. Invite on a quarterly basis, Vickie Orcutt,
new director with Faith in Action, to update their activities, especially transportation, to the
Commission. Bill Dalton is associated with The Caring Place and will arrange for a representative
to present at a future Board meeting. Blue Bonnet Trails will be invited to speak during the April
meeting.
