Summary Background:
In 2017, the City was certified as a member of the World Health Organization (WHO)/American Association of Retired Peoples (AARP) Global Network of Age Friendly Cities and launched the Age Friendly Work Group to examine the future needs of aging residents. The workgroup, comprised of 22 members, worked for over a year on policy recommendations to support seniors and disabled residents in the City. In January 2019, the City’s Action Plan to Increase Age Friendliness was adopted by the Mayor and Council. The plan includes 84 recommendations, including the hiring of an Age Friendly Coordinator to oversee work plan elements, develop policy, and collaborate with internal staff and external agencies. The attached presentation is the annual update to Council.
