Council on Aging

The duties of the Council on Aging are to identify the needs of older adults 60 years or older and their younger spouses residing in the city, educate the community and City officials and enlist the support and participation of all citizens concerning those needs, and to design, promote and implement services to fill those needs. The Council also coordinates existing services in the City, and promotes and supports other programs which are designed to assist older adults in the community. The Council identifies funding sources, applies for appropriate grants and administers grant-funded programs.

The Council on Aging must be aware of state and federal legislation concerning funding, information, exchange and program planning to improve community programming for older adults.
