Meeting: May 12, 2022
Subject
Update on Fiscal Year 2021-22 City Work Program Item Senior Strategy
Recommended Action
Receive an update on the status of the Senior Strategy Fiscal Year 21-22 work program
item regarding housing survey results and outreach plan and provide feedback.
Background
For Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-22, the City Work Program includes an item titled “Senior
Strategy” with a stated objective to address the needs of seniors in collaboration with the
City Council and Commissions. Needs to address include technology resources,
housing, food supply, transportation, and mental and physical health and wellbeing.
Discussion
A survey was developed to determine seniors’ awareness of existing available resources
which address the need areas listed in the project objective. This survey was brought to
the Senior Advisory Council for feedback on September 27, 2021, which was
incorporated prior to publishing. The survey was launched in October of 2021 and
closed in December of 2021 and received 459 responses.
The survey results were compiled and analyzed to determine the greatest gaps in
resource awareness among seniors. This compiled survey data was presented to the
Senior Advisory Council along with a primary outreach plan for their feedback on
March 24, 2022. The survey results and preliminary outreach plan will be presented to
pertinent commissions for their feedback prior to presentation of the item at a future
City Council meeting.
Sustainability Impact
No sustainability impact.
Fiscal Impact
None.
