HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - July 8, 2015 B-01 SMLodi Senior Commission / Lodi City Council
Joint Discussion Meeting
July 8, 2015
BACKGROUND:
As the Lodi Senior Commission reviewed the previous years' activities and
initiated objectives for 2015 the discussion focused on:
✓ Success of prior programs and activities
✓ Appropriateness of program or activity
✓ Types of programs or activities for the upcoming year
✓ Objectives - Outcomes
✓ Partnering with appropriate agencies / organizations
✓ Costs related issues
* Marketing
* Other direct/indirect program / activity related
* Funding sources / City - Other
* Commission to raise funds
As these issues were brought forth the question of Commission function and
its' role was raised and discussed. At that point it was decided to go to the
source, which was the Council directive when originally initiating and
appointing the Senior Commission. That background information was limited.
Therefore we thought we would dialogue with the Mayor and current Council
to gain their insight and relate with them on how best the Commission might
interact with the Council in their role as advocates for the Seniors of Lodi.
Throughout these discussions the value and importance of the Commission as
advocates for Senior Citizens of the City of Lodi and their unique issues and
as an informative conduit of these issues to the City Council was recognized
and understood and not in question by Members of the Commission.

PRESENTATIONS
Guest: Jeff Hood, City of Lodi: Chairman Anderson posed question re: the role of the
Commission & how funding is handled by the City.
Jeff has been director for 3 yrs. (interim & full time). He believes the role of the
Commission is to advise the City Council on senior matters, ID the needs and issues
facing seniors in Lodi.
As for the budget: In the past, the Senior Commission was part of the senior center
(Hutchins) and funding went through that direction. Now, the Commission is in a `pool'
with the other Commissions & split a budget of approx. $1,050.
Mr. Hood provided overview of other Commissions in Lodi including the Parks & Rec,
Lodi Youth Commission, Planning, Library Commission, etc.
He would like to see the Senior Commission get public input, promote, and create
awareness, ID partners to take on an advocacy role for Lodi Seniors. He reports that City
is sending out a survey for the strategic plan and that may provide/ reflect on the needs of
the community. He will share the statistics with the Senior Commission. The budget
will be factored into the City Plan soon. If we can provide our "need" for future years, it
is possible to put into the City budget.

COMMENTS BY THE PUBLIC ON NON -AGENDA ITEMS
Paula: Newer to the Lodi area, came to commission to see what was offered and would
like to see programs working together to direct services for seniors and increase their
collaboration. She currently uses the pool @ Hutchins and feels that the current issues
with the pool may be a perfect advocacy issue for the commission.
PRESENTATIONS
Mayor Bob Johnson: Open discussion w/ Mayor Johnson & Commission members...
How do we keep using the tools we have to continue to move forward & provide support
for the citizens?
"We" (Mayor / City Council) want to be involved & updated on needs, projects, etc.
Mayor Johnson suggested a joint meeting w/ Mayor, Council & Commission to develop a
plan and process of next steps. Recently there has been no formal communication /
dialog between commission & council. Need to establish that and continue discussions
on the need to grow senior related programs in the community. Appears there are many
programs and services that are not connected & each has their own role for services.
Would like to see cohesive connections. Brainstorm ideas to connect with providers in
Lodi to partner with and support senior related services and programs. Agreed with
commission on a joint meeting w/ council. Possibility of developing a "senior summit"
to better ID the needs and partners for senior services.
Jennifer Winn: Commission should work with council, establish the quarterly reports and
continue to be senior advocates in the community.
Jeff Hood: City is working to increase recreational opportunities for seniors and would
like to see a central senior referral guide to programs & services.
Terri Whitmire: Provided statistics: 16% of the Lodi populations are seniors. 12% of
them are in or below the poverty level, suggesting that costs of services may be a barrier.
"Publicity doesn't hurt". Mayor would like commission to come to council meeting &
present their ideas and reports.
