Preliminary Minutes
February 20, 2014
Members discussed the composition of the committee and expressed a desire for
the committee members to be representative of the population it is intended to
serve, balanced with a variety of points of view, and open-minded. Commission
members discussed who would apply to represent the Commission on the
committee.
Martha Struxness inquired about who and how members of this committee will be
chosen. Kopping explained that there will be an application process and that
members of the committee will be chosen by the City Council. Kopping stressed
that anyone could apply. Struxness expressed concern that this committee would
not hear her concerns or thoughts. Kopping noted that all of the Ad Hoc Senior
Service meetings would be open to the public.
Commissioner Holbrook joined the meeting.
Bryson Dean expressed concern about the committee being well rounded. She
noted that while professionals in the field of aging may be qualified to serve on
this committee, they may be narrowly focused in their views of aging. She noted
that while in her 70s she is healthy and active and that points of view from
someone who specializes in seniors who are ill or frail and might not encompass
what she needs to remain a healthy, active, independent living older person.
