1979-077-Supporting Federal Aging ProgramsRESOLUTION NO. 1979 -72
RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN
OF LOS GATOS SUPPORTING FEDERAL AGING PROGRAMS
WHEREAS, on October 18, 1978, Congress passed a series of
amendments to the Older Americans Act which were so extensive as
to constitute almost a new act; and
WHEREAS, the thrust of these new amendments is to mandate
programs to assist our older Americans to remain in their
communities; and
WHEREAS, the current funding under a continuing resolution
passed by Congress does not provide the necessary funds to carry
out Congressional mandates.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Council of
the Town of Los Gatos goes on record as favoring an adequate
federal appropriation to take the place of the continuing resolution
for fiscal year 1979.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that adequate funding be made
available for the Older Americans Act in 1980.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Town Council
of the Town of Los Gatos held on the 7th day of May , 1979,
by the following vote:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Ruth Cannon, Mardi Gualtieri
Peter W. Siemens and Thomas J. Ferrito
