Staff Report The Group discussed the purpose of the committee and the need to focus on specific aspects rather than trying to address all senior issues. The committee heard from Michelle Arnold and Sean Callahan regarding the services that their divisions provide and how they relate to seniors. The Committee discussed a couple handouts provided by Mr. Hartman. The Committee felt that potential points of focus would be communication and access to transportation. They decided that it was unwise to consider housing since other groups are currently focused on this need. They intend to review the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation led Community Assessment and perform a SWOT Analysis at the next meeting along with potentially speaking with the Community and Human Services Division. Through the next few meetings they will prioritize and focus their deliverable for the end of the year. S. Next Meeting Time, Date, and Location The Committee discussed the next couple of meetings and when and where they would hold their meetings. They decided that the next few meetings should be held every couple of weeks until they determine their priorities. They also discussed where they should have meetings Geoff Willig and Tim Durham suggested that the Wednesday before a regular Board meeting are not ideal since staff is routinely involved in finalizing the agenda. They determined that Thursday mornings would work well for all that were in attendance.

They will hold the meeting after this in the same location at 10 AM on May 17, 2018. There was a question about summer and if anyone would be leaving. Mr. Lansen indicated that he would be absent during some of the summer and asked if he could attend meetings electronically.
