Subject: Desk Item - Support for Senior Services Committee Roadmap
[EXTERNAL SENDER]
Town Council,
Please include this email as a desk item in support of the proposed Los Gatos Senior Services
Committee Road Map. It has been my pleasure to work alongside and get to know the members of
the Seniors Services Committee. This committee is passionate about making Los Gatos an age
friendly town. The work that has been done by this Committee has ignited an exciting momentum
for Senior Services in Los Gatos. Not only did they conduct research, surveys, and discussion groups
to be able to craft this road map thoughtfully and quantitatively, but they also were immersed
themselves in the community by getting active and involve. Members of this commitee supported
local health fairs, holiday drive throughs, volunteerism, town special events, and many 55 Plus
Programs so that they could unify the voices of local seniors and prepare this roadmap . They have
helped shaped what is possible through 55 Plus by supporting events and projects like the ARC Bar,
The HUB, and the New Year Social by volunteering and aiding communication. This road map not
only outlines goals for the Town of Los Gatos but practical solutions and projects necessary to
achieve those goals.
At the special Town Council meeting on January 24th, LGS Recreation submitted a Proposal for
Funding of the 55 Plus program. Specifically outlined in our proposal are a multitude of ways that
LGS Recreation, with financial support from the Town of Los Gatos, can help the Town meet these
goals, complete projects, establish services, and fill the gaps indicated in the road map of senior
services. The 55 Plus Program is prepared to take on this role and continue to be the center of
information and activity for our older adult population. Please consider adopting the Senior Services
Road Map and with it the Proposal for 55 Plus funding.
Our mission is aligned, both the Senior Services Committee and LGS Recreation are committed to
making Los Gatos a town where older adults can thrive.
Sincere thanks for your time and consideration,
