RECOMMENDATION:
Receive the Senior Service Committee Roadmap for Senior Services and provide any additional
direction to the Committee and/or staff.
BACKGROUND:
On March 2, 2021, the Town Council held a joint session with the Community Health and Senior
Service Commission (CHSSC) to hear the Commission’s goals for the coming year. The Council
indicated its strong interest in the work of the Commission in light of the inclusion of senior
services as a new Council Strategic Priority for Fiscal Years 2021-2023.
Councilmembers requested that the Commission review the current senior service provision in
Town and help identify any gaps that exist in senior services. On June 15, 2021, the Town
Council received the Community Health and Senior Service Commission’s (CHSSC) assessment
report on senior service provision in Los Gatos. At the conclusion of the discussion, Council
provided direction to staff to return to Council with recommendations for establishing a Senior
Service Committee.
On August 3, 2021, the Town Council adopted a Resolution 2021-035 establishing a Senior
Service Committee for the development of a long-term vision and plan for senior service
provision in Los Gatos. The Committee was tasked with developing a long-term vision and
strategic plan through extensive community outreach, including workshops, that would
culminate in a comprehensive report of how best to serve the needs of the Town’s older adult
community.
