If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
Excited
I
think
as
our
fellow
Commissioners
to
hear
the
progress
on
the
senior
ambassador
program
and
we're
going
to
ask
at
this
time.
If
there
is
any
public
comment
in
the
queue
we
do
take
public
comment
of
two
minutes
and
it
is
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
Helen.
Is
there
anyone
who
has
requested
that
opportunity.
C
Can
I
just
make
one
comment?
This
is
Wendy's
anchor
and
because
I
see
Andrea
Walker's
face
in
front
of
me
right
now.
I
just
want
to
congratulate
Andrea
for
the
award.
She
won
last
Thursday
night,
which
I
believe
was
volunteer
of
the
year
for
everything
she's
done
for
walking
school
bus
and
other
initiatives.
So
just
a
shout
out
to
Andrea
absolutely.
A
A
All
right
any
other
comments,
excellent
we're
gonna
move
forward
with
the
presentation
by
Wendy
and
Michelle
and
Wendy.
If
you'll
do
the
courtesy
of
introductions
I'll,
let
you
take
it
away.
C
Thanks
so
much
and
I
believe
that
I'm
joined
today
by
my
colleagues,
Michelle
McMahon
and
I'm,
going
to
be
scared
to
pronounce
mahi's
name,
so
I
will
leave
it
up
for
her
and
that's
mostly
because
I
could
mispronounce
it
from
the
very
beginning.
You
guys
would
always
think.
Oh,
that's
her
name
and
you
would
be
wrong.
So
I
I'll
give
Michelle
and
Molly
an
opportunity.
Why
don't
you
write
just
now
say
your
names.
If
you
don't
mind.
B
E
F
C
Mahi,
could
you
bring
up
the
slide
deck?
Yes,
so
thanks
everybody
for
the
opportunity
to
bring
you
all
up
to
date
on
what
had
been
called
the
senior
ambassador
program
and
I
say
that
had
been
called
because
one
of
the
things
that
the
team
is
doing
is
looking
for
another
name
for
this
senior
ambassador
program,
because
we're
not
in
love
with
the
word
senior,
but
we
haven't
landed
on
that
name
yet,
but
I
know
senior
ambassador
program
is
what
we
all
know
from
work
that
we've
done
up
to
this
point.
C
The
second
thing
I
want
to
do
is
just
do
a
shout
out
to
Cheryl
beversdorf,
who
has
championed
this
program
for
the
past.
I
would
say
two
perhaps
more
years,
I'm
sure
that
it's
more
than
two
years,
she
believed
that
an
ambassador
program
was
absolutely
needed
in
Arlington
she'd,
seen
it
working
in
other
jurisdictions.
She
knew
about
it.
She
wanted
to
promote
it
and
she
included
it
as
we
all
included
in
Arlington's
age
friendly
plan.
C
So
good
news
is
Cheryl.
Did
phenomenal
work
shepherding
this
program
through
the
age
friendly
process
and
and
getting
it
set
up
here
in
Arlington
and
I
know
that
at
one
point,
I
looked
like
my
friend
screws,
so
I
hope
that
we're
not
going
to
have
internet
problems
as
we
go
on.
F
Okay,
can
you
see
my
screen?
Yes,.
C
We
go
so
let's
go
on
to
you
know
the
first
thing
for
those
of
you
who
aren't
familiar.
Let
me
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
Arlington
neighborhood
Village,
because
right
now,
Arlington
neighborhood
Village
is
the
program
lead
for
the
ambassador
program.
I.
Think
many
of
you
know
that
we
are
a
volunteer
driven,
non-profit,
that's
dedicated
to
helping
older
adults
in
Arlington
age
in
their
own
homes
safely,
independently
and
with
an
enhanced
quality
of
life.
C
We
run
errands
we're
a
walking
companion,
we're
a
friendly
visitor
and
we
do
daily
check-in
calls
for
people
today
we're
365
members,
240
volunteers,
and
if
we
look
at
the
past
year,
we
were
able
to
fulfill
3
200
and
service
requests
and
those
service
requests.
When
we
talk
about
Transportation,
that
means
you
know:
round-trip
rides
to
a
place,
not
one-way
rides
and
our
donated
our
volunteers
donated
91
9,
100
hours
of
service
to
the
organization.
C
We
volunteered
to
try
to
oversee
and
manage
the
program,
but
that
was
predicated
on
being
able
to
raise
some
money,
and
luckily
the
Arlington
Community
Foundation
stepped
up
this
time
last
year
with
what
they
referred
to
as
their
age
friendly
catalog.
They
made
an
opportunity
available
to
the
community
to
support
things
like
the
Arlington
ambassador
program.
They
also
supported
the
walking
School
Bus.
They
supported
Culpepper
garden
and
many
other
non-profits
here
in
Arlington
that
work
with
seniors.
C
So
those
two
grants
are
giving
us
the
funding
need
to
hire
Michelle
as
a
consultant
to
lead
the
effort
to
have
Mahi
come
on
as
an
intern
and
to
you
know,
provide
other
resources
for
the
expenses
that
we're
going
to
incur
in
creating
this
age-friendly
plan,
we're
doing
it
along
with
Marymount
University
and
with
Arlington
and
County
government.
Both
of
those
organizations
are
absolute
partners
with
us
in
getting
this
project
off
the
ground
next
slide,
so
I'm
going
to
just
quickly.
C
You
know
the
oversight
of
the
program
and
then
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Michelle.
It's
got
two
pieces
to
it.
One
is
to
create
a
database
of
organizations
that
are
providing
programs
and
services
to
older
adults
in
Arlington
from
that
database.
We're
going
to
create
a
handbook
and
then
that
handbook
is
going
to
be
used
to
train
ambassadors
in
communities
throughout
Arlington
and
Michelle.
Let
me
hand
it
over
to
you
to
go
into
a
little
bit
more
detail
on
this.
E
Hi
everyone
it's
Michelle,
so
Mahi
is
going
to
share
just
some
screen
grabs.
We
have
created
a
monster
spreadsheet.
If
you
will
that
lists
the
programs
services
that
we
have
been
researching
in
the
county,
sponsored
by
the
county,
other
non-profits,
A
and
B
and
other
non-profits
as
well
as
we
will
include
some
for-profits
that
offer
services
next
slide.
Mahi.
E
So
the
handbook
that
we're
creating
is
is
literally
initially
going
to
be
a
three-ring
binder
that
will
hand
it
to
be
handed
to
each
of
the
new
ambassadors
the
new
recruits.
We
would
like,
eventually
to
have
a
website
Resource
as
well,
so
that
we
have
it
digitally
for
lots
of
different
reasons,
but
for
the
initial
launch
it
will
be
a
hard
copy
binder
for
people
to
carry
to
help
people
in
their
Community
to
give
them
information
about
the
different
programs
and
services
that
are
available
to
seniors
next
slide.
Mahi.
E
So
for
the
handbook
we
have
divided
these
programs
and
services
into
categories,
and
these
are
the
categories
that
we
have
landed
on
so
far.
This
is
a
work
in
progress.
So
right
now
we
are
bucketing
different
programs
and
services
in
these
categories.
I
imagine
we
will
add
others
and
possibly
even
combine
some
of
these.
As
we
start
to
see
the
numbers
that
are
in
the
categories,
we
will
adjust
it
before.
We
finalize
the
listing
next
slide
and
then
this
is
just
a
screen
grab
of
that
spreadsheet.
That
I
told
you
about.
E
You
can
see
along
the
bottom.
We
have
our
different
categories
and
we
are
creating
text,
contact,
information,
sort
of
additional
information
and
we
will
be
sharing
with
stakeholders
what
we
develop
before
we
move
forward
to
design
any
pages
in
the
handbook,
so
we
are
gathering
the
information
sharing
it
with
stakeholders
and
then
we
will
be
creating
the
pages
to
go
into
the
handbook
once
we
have
the
copy
finalized,
and
so
we
have
some
very
initial
designs
that
Mahi
will
walk
you
through.
E
Nothing
has
moved
very
far
forward,
but
we're
just
starting
to
play
around
with
how
we
could
present
this.
The
different
programs
and
services
in
the
handbook.
F
All
right,
can
you
see
my
screen?
Just
yes,
yes,
yeah.
So
this
is
what
we
envisioned
for.
The
handbook
is
to
have
two
different
ways
of
representing
each
com.
Each
organization,
one
is
through
the
services
that
they
offer
and
the
other
is
an
overall
introduction
about
the
com,
the
organization
that
type
of
services
they
have
for
older
adults
and
maybe
a
few
more
information.
So
initially,
the
rough
draft
we
have
is
for
Arlington
neighborhood
Village,
because
they
do
offer
various
services
for
older
adults.
F
Essentially,
we
would
have
an
about
us
information
and
then
their
services,
maybe
a
short
blurb,
about
more
or
less
explaining
what
the
vision
of
the
organization
is
and
if
it's
a
membership
program,
what
the
member
benefits
are
the
other
way
we
want
to
represent
each
organization
and
the
services
they
offer
is
through
what
category
they
are
a
part
of.
So
this
is
for
transportation
services.
We
wanted
to
have
a
short
paragraph
that
explained
what
it
was
if
it's
a
membership
program
and
also
have
a
form
member
for
information
on
any
information.
F
Just
the
former
information
page
here,
you
can
see
it's
a
bit
different
in
terms
of
we
have
also
a
short
information.
This
is
just
to
highlight
something.
Maybe
there
are
some
things
that
are
additional
to
the
services
that
are
offered,
so
we
just
wanted
to
highlight
those
so
that
people
could
actually
easily
view
them
and
it's
more
or
less
similar
throughout,
where
we
just
wanted
to
represent
it
in
a
similar
way.
That
way,
older
adults
can
have
an
easier
way
of
understanding
what
each
services
and
what
what
they
can
get
as
well.
F
So
let
me
just
go
over
all
of
them,
so
you
can
see
what
it
sort
of
looks
like
and
we're
planning
on
making
a
lot
of
adjustments
for
color
and
other
things
so,
but
this
is
essentially
The
Rock
graph
that
we
do
have
so
far.
F
And
the
Second
Step
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
once
the
handbook
has
been
finalized
or
is
near
completion,
is
we're
going
to
reach
out
to
communities
across
Arlington
and
we
want
to
recruit
volunteers
who
are
going
to
go
to
their
community
and
talk
about
these
programs
and
these
services
and
hopefully
get
more
older
adults
to
know
about
the
programs
and
services
that
they
have
in
their
neighborhood.
So
we
hope
to
do
this
through
diverse
communities
across
the
county.
F
C
And
I
know
that
I
quickly
saw
a
comment
come
across
in
the
chat
from
Jim
Morris
talking
about
an
index.
That's
all
part
of
the
overall
plan
that
that
things
will
be
indexed
so
that
people
will
be
able
to
have
cross-references
between
what
organizations
offer
and
what
Individual
Services
are.
C
And
that's
all
you
know,
we'd
love
to
get
that
kind
of
feedback.
It
reminds
us
of
the
things
that
we
need
to
to
do,
but
the
intention
is
indeed
to
make
this
easy
for
people
to
to
use.
So
one
of
the
things
we've
also
done
is
developed
an
advisory
committee
because
there's
no
way
that
we
think
we
know
the
answers
to
all
of
these
issues
across
the
county
and
we're
very
grateful
for
the
people.
C
Who've
agreed
to
serve
on
this
advisory
committee
right
now,
we're
talking
to
Cheryl
beversdorf
again,
you
know
Cheryl
she's,
on
the
Commission
in
aging.
She
hosts
a
radio
and
TV
program
on
Aging
matters,
Brenda
Cox
who's,
a
former
Commission
on
Aging
member
and
runs
her
senior
Ministry
at
the
Lomax
AME
Church
Brenda
has
been
running
a
senior
Ministry
every
single
Saturday,
the
last
Saturday
of
the
month
for
20
years,
20
years.
C
If
they
just
celebrated
at
Lomax
a
few
weeks
ago,
ever
the
last
Saturday
9
A.M,
she
does
a
breakfast
seniors,
get
together
and
she's
sharing
information
with
her
parishioners
and
and
colleagues
and
friends
in
the
neighborhood,
so
Brenda's
program
at
Lomax
is
a
really
perfect
example
of
what
we're
trying
to
do
with
the
ambassador
program
on
a
much
larger
scale.
So
Brenda's,
you
know
really
gratefully
is
has
agreed
to
serve
on
the
advisory
committee
with
us.
C
Helen
is
on
the
advisory
committee
and,
as
you
probably
saw
from
the
really
high
quality
Transportation
information,
we
plagiarized
Helen's
Transportation
handbook,
which
she
works
so
hard
on.
So
thank
you
so
much
Ellen
for
doing
that.
Work
first
but
Helen's
on
the
committee
and
is
going
to
help
guide
our
work.
Rebecca
Pearson
is
at
Culpepper
Gardens
she's
a
director
of
resident
services.
C
So
again
we
want
to
find
people
who
are
talking
and
touching
older
adults
right
now
in
their
normal
jobs,
regular
jobs
so
that
they
can
share
their
insights
with
us
as
we
develop
the
program
Jean
Renee,
also
in
Arlington
neighborhood
Village
is
another
person
who
is
talking
and
touching
to
seniors
every
single
day.
So
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
had
her
Insight
Connie
Sorrentino
is
a
board
member
for
Arlington,
neighborhood
Village,
and
what
I
want
to
say
about
Connie
is
that
she
is
a
Workhorse.
C
She
is
the
board
member
that
everybody
wants
to
have,
because
not
only
does
she
come
up
with
an
idea,
but
she
then
executes
on
it.
Does
the
research
does
the
study
and
produces
the
final
document
so
we're
thrilled?
That
Connie
has
joined
us
on
the
advisory
committee
and
we
know
that
she's
going
to
help
us
get
the
work
done
and
the
last
name
that
you
can't
quite
see
because
of
the
team's
Banner
is
Rita
Wong
at
Merrimack
University.
C
So
I
knew
that
I
know
that
there
were
a
couple
of
questions
coming
up.
So,
let's
open
up
the
conversation
to
questions
that
we
have
from
folks,
I
can't
see
whose
hand
is
up
but
I,
know,
there's
a
hand.
H
E
've
done
I.
We
believe
that
we
will
be
best
served
by
including
for-profits
and
as
we
go
along,
we
will
come
up
with
some
sort
of
parameters
that
will
help
us
sort
of
determine
which
for-profits
to
include
just
as
as
we
go
along
and
we
will
bounce
it
off
of
The
Advisory
Board.
H
C
I
I
just
wondered
if
the
55
plus
program
would
they
be
listed
in
each
of
the
different
categories.
You
know
that
are
represented.
You
know
where
they
have
Services
I
assume
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure.
C
Yeah
you
know,
I
think
dealing
with
the
55
plus
program
will
be
interesting.
I
mean
the
55
plus
program
puts
out
almost
a
40
page
catalog
every
quarter.
We
can't
include
every
class
in
that
catalog,
but
I
think
you
know
making
sure
that
people
understand
that
there
is
the
program
out
there,
that
it
has
a
wide
range
of
programs
that
they
offer
on
a
variety
of
subjects
we'll
have
to
get
that
across
in
the
catalog
I.
C
Don't
want
to
commit
right
now,
exactly
how
we'll
do
it,
but
it
absolutely
will
be
an
important
part
and
Andrea
when
we
get
to
that
portion
we'll
be
sure
to
reach
out
to
you,
as
well
as
to
reach
out
to
Jennifer
and
and
Jessica
what
the
best
way
is
to
do.
It
is
that
this
is
going
to
be
an
iterative
process.
You
know
there
is
going
to
be.
We
could
work
on
this
for
years
likely
right
and
we
don't
want
to
do
that.
C
So
we
will
produce
an
initial
handbook
and
we
will
learn
from
them
and
we
will
find
an
initial
group
of
ambassadors
and
we
will
learn
from
that
handbook
and
initial
group
of
ambassadors
and
very
quickly
behind
it,
come
out
with
version
two
version.
Two
will
not
be
two
years
later.
It
will
be
six
months
later
because
we're
going
to
figure
out
because
of
people
touching
it
what
works
and
what
doesn't
work.
What
do
we
need
to
add?
What
have
we
included
and
is
it
necessary?
C
C
It's
not
going
to
be
a
one
and
done
so
I
offer
that
Andrea
and
that
I
don't
want
to
give
a
commitment
right
now
to
how
55
plus
is
handled,
but
we
want
to
handle
it
in
a
way
that
we
get
as
much
information
out
into
people's
hands
as
they
need
to
make
informed
decisions.
J
K
Hello
I
was
just
curious
about
the
the
distribution
of
the
guide.
It
sounds
like
right.
The
initial
plan
is
for
the
handbook
to
be
available
to
the
ambassadors,
whoever
that
might
be,
but
is
the
plan
to
also
make
it
just
broadly
available
to
folks
in
the
community
or
where
is
kind
of
what
does
that
distribution?
Channel
look
like.
E
You
know
I,
don't
know,
go
ahead,
Wendy
I
mean
I.
We
are
again
we're
we're
iterating.
This
initially
I
do
think
we'll
put
it
in
the
hands
of
the
initial
Ambassador
recruits
and
as
we
get
out
there
and
start
kicking
the
tires
on
the
program,
it's
possible
it'll
be
beneficial
to
have.
You
know,
to
distribute
them
say
to
Virginia
Hospital
Center,
or
what
have
you
I.
C
Certainly,
initially
it's
going
to
the
ambassadors
we
do
have
in
our
minds
that
year
two
will
be
able
to
put
it
up
on
a
website
yeah.
You
know
so
that
people
can
access
it
on
a
website
and
easy.
But
I
know
that
you're
thinking
in
your
mind,
the
incredible
Source
book
that
you
guys
and
and
the
Virginia
the
resource
book
that
you
you
know
the
other
one
that
Steve
Gurney
puts
out
I
mean
we
don't
have
and
I,
don't
suspect,
we'll
ever
have
the
resources
to
put
out
a
document
like
that.
C
That's
free
to
the
public
just
for
the
asking,
but
things
like
the
Source
book
are
going
to
be
included
in
the
physical
handbook.
The
because
there's
so
much
Rich
information
in
that.
But
it
is
intended
to
be
somewhat
of
a
public
document.
But
it's
just
unclear
how
much
of
that
public
document
will
be
in
paper
versus
on
a
website.
K
C
True
and
again
everybody
who's
on
this
call
and
who's
asking
questions.
You
know
our
intention
is
to
have
a
more
one-on-one
conversation
with
each
of
you
to
make
sure
that
we're
fully
informed
on
your
program
interest
and
how
we
incorporate
it
into
this
handbook
and
how
the
system
you
know
makes
most
sense
for
all
of
us.
L
Thank
you,
wendia
I'm
Jessica,
with
the
55
plus
program
Andrea.
Thank
you
always
for
the
advocacy
we
always
appreciate
it,
and
one
day
we
know
that
you
know
our
program
so
well.
So
we
appreciate
that
too.
My
question
is,
with
Arlington
being
so
diverse
what
plan
or
what
do
you?
What
are
your
thoughts
around
kind
of
doing
the
research
about
which
groups
you
might
be
able
to
go
out?
L
First,
like
prioritizing
I'm,
just
interested
in
how
that
would
come
about
and
also
how
you
will
be
well
I
know:
recruitment
of
volunteers
is
always
hard
and
hopefully,
you'll
have
representation
of
those
groups,
because
that's
always
the
most
success
we
find
when
we're
able
to
send
out
staff
or
volunteers
who
represent
the
group
and
especially
in
their
language.
L
So
I
was
just
thinking
if
you
had
any
thoughts
in
place
about
that,
and
also
always
happy
to
brainstorm
with
you,
because
you
know
we're
always
trying
to
figure
it
out
as
well,
so
but
advocacy
for
diversity
to
the
population.
C
Absolutely
I
mean
that's
key
to
making
this
successful.
You
know.
One
of
the
things
I
hope
to
do
is
steal.
All
of
your
contact
lists
that
you
have.
You
know
in
the
best
of
all
worlds,
you
know
I
think
the
county
has
done
a
phenomenal
job.
If
we
look
back
on
two
initiatives,
one
is
the
complete
Census
count
and
the
other
is
the
complete
vaccination
committee
and
in
both
of
those
County
initiatives
they
had
people.
C
You
know
in
a
wide
range
of
Arlington
communities
that
were
participants
to
make
sure
that
we
got
the
best
Census
count
and
we
got
the
best
coverage
for
vaccination.
So
my
hope
back
in
my
head
is
that
I'm
going
to
be
able
to
plagiarize
those
mailing
lists
initially
and
reach
out
to
that
same
group
of
people
and
say:
we've
got
a
new
program
and
we'd
love
to
get
that
same
kind
of
broad
representation
in
Arlington.
That
was
reflected
in
these
two
initiatives.
C
Are
you
willing
to
either
yourself
raise
your
hand,
or
is
there
someone
within
your
community
that
you
think
would
be
passionate
about
sharing
information
about
older
adults?
So
that's
one
of
our
strategies.
It's
not
going
to
be
the
only
one,
but
you
know
you're
absolutely
right,
Jessica
that
that
challenge
of
having
representation
in
all
of
the
diverse
communities
that
exist
around
Arlington
is
probably
going
to
be
the
hardest
part
of
our
job,
but
one
that
we're
fully
committed
to
and
anybody
who's
got
ideas
on
how
we
can
reach
into
those
communities.
C
Please
do
I
mean
we
certainly
plan
to
go
to
things
like
Civic
associations
and
Faith
institutions,
and
you
know
others
that
have
a
wide
reach.
Michelle
is
trying
to
get
in
front
of
the
Arlington
Interfaith
Network
and
do
a
presentation
to
them.
C
You
know
coming
up
so
if
people
know
of
groups
or
entities
that
you
think
we
can
reach
out
to
please
share
either
with
Michelle
or
myself,
we'll
make
sure
that
the
information
you
know
that
we
start
collecting
it
all
in
in
a
single
place
so
that
we
can
do
that
Outreach
when
it's
time
to
find
ambassadors,
yep.
G
M
It's
piggyback
on
Jessica's
question
I
think
it's
more
than
stealing
Wendy!
Honestly,
it's
about
being
able
to
be
a
part
of
the
process
in
the
beginning
and
so
I
highly
recommend
that
you
think
carefully
about
to
what
extent
we
have
representation,
diversity
and
inclusion
from
the
very
onset
not
only
in
the
development
curriculum,
but
even
in
The,
Advisory,
board
or
Council
that
you
put
together.
M
C
Absolutely
Carlos
yeah
and
you
know
we
are
very
receptive
too,
if
there
are
folks
that
people
are
aware
of
that
would
like
to
minimally
at
this
point
join
the
steering
committee.
Please
again,
let
us
know
we're
not
making
the
steering
committee
a
heavy,
lift,
we're
not
going
to
ask
the
steering
committee
members
themselves
to
do
hard
work,
but
we
do
want
to
be
able
to
tap
into
your
brains
and
and
be
able
to
get
your
good
advice
but
well,
you
know
very
good
points.
Carlos
yeah.
D
An
L
in
my
name,
but
there
is
well
I,
just
wanted
to
say
how
thrilled
I
am
as
a
member
of
the
age
friendly
task
force
to
to
see
this
where
it
is
and
how
far
we've
come
and
and
to
all
the
folks
that
that
Wendy
named
it's
just
it's
just
a
real
thrill
and,
and
you
deserve
so
much
credit.
D
My
question
is,
are
actually
my
thought
was
about
things
that
come
up
that
aren't
related
to
a
particular
program
but
are
important
to
reach
out,
particularly
in
a
diverse
community,
and
particularly
to
low-income
members,
I'm
thinking
of
the
Medicaid
renewals,
the
Medicaid
unwinding
and,
and
how
would
something
like
that
be
handled?
Oh
so,.
C
I
think
one
one.
What
we
should
all
keep
in
mind
is
that
when
we
do
have
ambassadors,
the
ambassadors
are
not
going
to
be
experts
but
they're
going
to
know
that
there
are
experts
that
exist.
So
the
most
important
thing
that
we
can
do
on
a
very
complicated
subject
like
Medicaid
or
Medicaid
unwinding,
is
to
say,
if
you
have
a
Medicaid
question
who's,
the
best
person
for
you
to
reach
out
to
and
talk
to
is
that
a
vicap
counselor?
Is
it
this
person?
C
E
Yeah
and
that's
what
and
that's
what
the
handbook
Erica,
the
handbook
really
is
going
to
have
that
for
more
information.
Here's
where
you
go
so
I'm,
I'm,
really
thinking
the
ambassadors
are
going
to
understand
what
different
programs
and
services
there
exist,
but
yeah
not
to
be
an
expert
in
all
of
the
offerings.
E
N
Yeah
I
I
think
you
could
be
more
aggressive
when
you're
asking
whether
the
handbook
is
available.
If
it's
on
the
web,
it's
hard
for
me
to
believe
that
you're
going
to
have
an
ambassador
who
is
in
compute
computer
savvy
I
mean
they're
not
really
going
to
be
successful
if
they
aren't
so
the
answer
I
think
your
answer
should
be.
Yes,
it's
it's
available
and
not
even
think
about
a
printed
copy.
I'm,
not
sure
you
need
to
print
it
at
all.
C
No,
you
Herschel,
you
know,
all
of
our
ambassadors
are
going
to
have
a
printed
copy.
The
the
whole
point
is
every
Ambassador
will
have
a
printed
copy
and,
as
as
Michelle
said,
it'll
be
a
three-ring
binder,
so
that
we
can
correct
pages
and
take
them
out
and
put
a
new
page
in
as
information
is
derived
the
question
we
were
responding
to
in
terms
of
you
know.
C
The
website
is
a
future
companion
piece
that
would
potentially
be
on
a
website
that
would
go
along
with
the
print
document,
but
that
we
weren't
intending
to
make
a
print
document
available
to
every
citizen,
but
we
would
be
able
to
make
a
website
available
to
every
citizen
if
they
wanted
to
do
their
own
research
ambassadors
will
absolutely
have
a
print
version
and
it'll
be
a
print
version
that
we
will
help
them
update
whether.
O
A
P
Yeah,
so
it's
a
comment
so
I
just
want
to
say
to
Wendy
and
your
team
that
this
looks
great,
absolutely
very
comprehensive,
I
think
it's
going
to
add
value
and
yeah
I
just
think
it's!
It's
awesome.
A
A
Yep,
okay
and
I
would
like
to
just
add
the
accolades.
I
was
beaming
here.
Thinking
about
you
know
how
we've
discussed
this
at
length
and
to
see
the
realization
of
it
is
just
really
quite
thrilling,
I'm
going
to
ask
if
I
may
Steve,
and
then
we
had
Kate
and
Erica
so
Steve
I.
H
H
I
know
that
the
envy
and
55
plus
have
a
number
of
socialization
kinds
of
programs
and,
as
the
Surgeon
General
has
pointed
out,
loneliness
is
an
epidemic
and
I
think
socialization
needs
to
be
one
of
your
topics.
Thank.
E
You
that's
a
good
suggestion.
We
have
health
and
well-being
and
we're
finding
that
it's
getting
very
well
populated,
so
we
have
been
thinking
we're
going
to
need
to
come
up
so
I
think
socialization
is
a
very
good
suggestion.
Steve.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
are
there
any
final
questions?
I,
don't
I
didn't
mean
to
cut
off
the
conversation,
I
just
didn't
know
for
sure.
If
we
were
at
the
end,
Michelle
and
Wendy,
would
you
kind
of
summarize
by
giving
us
a
bit
of
a
timetable
of
how
you
think
things
are
going
to
progress
from
this
point
on.
C
Well,
we
knew
that
there
was
going
to
be
the
question
of
a
timetable
that
we
haven't
per
se
locked
in
because
we're
still
gathering
information
in
the
best
of
all
worlds.
We
would
like
to
have
something
in
hand.
This
year
we
would
like
to
have
a
version
of
a
handbook.
We
would
like
to
have
some
ambassadors
identified
and
trained
and
working
in
their
communities
and
then
building
and
learning
from
that
with,
as
I
said,
iteration
two,
which
would
be
very
soon
behind.
C
So
we
are
hopeful
that
we
will
be
able
to
have
a
physical
handbook
and
to
have
an
initial
core
of
ambassadors
recruited
this
year,
but
I
can't
really
give
you
more
specific
time
frames.
But
that's
that's
our
hope.
C
That's
going
to
be
you
know,
driven
by
you
know
how
well
we
are
able
to
gather
information,
send
it
out
to
organizations,
ask
them
to
review
it,
and
you
know
not
just
review
it,
but
to
make
it
better
and
make
sure
that
we
are
doing
a
good
job
of
rep,
representing
organizations
and
the
services
that
they
offer,
because
this
is
going
to
be
an
important
document.
C
We
are
summarize,
you
know:
every
organization
can
have
pages
and
Pages
describing
their
mission
and
services
we're
collapsing
that
down
into
you,
know,
potentially
a
one
page
or
a
half
a
page.
So
it's
going
to
be
really
important
that
the
organizations
and
services
feel
comfortable
with
the
way
they're
being
represented,
and
we
want
to
go
through
as
many
iterations
as
necessary
to
make
that
happen
and
to
be
quality.
And
then,
of
course,
you
know
doing
that
initial
recruitment
of
ambassadors
and
putting
them
out
on
the
street.
C
A
And
I
think
one
of
one
of
my
comments
would
be
to
put
at
the
bottom
of
all
your
information,
the
date
of
when
the
information
is
made
available
and
when
an
update
might
occur
because
I
think
that
was
one
of
the
questions
we
had
initially,
particularly
with
paper
copy.
You.
A
Frequently
is
this
going
to
be
updated
and
you
can't
do
it
at
least
in
a
in
a
paper
version
with
the
constancy
that
might
be
necessary
as
things
change
but
again,
I
want
to
on
behalf
of
the
commission.
I
just
cannot
tell
you
how
excited
I
am
about
this
program.
I
just
think.
It's
wonderful
to
see
the
work
you've
put
in
already
is
just
really
terrific
and
I
hope
you
can
find
a
good
name.
I
was
looking
at
Cinema
yeah.
A
Come
up
with
an
idea
of
I,
don't
know
how
wedded
you
are
to
Ambassador,
but
Navigator
just
sounds
like
what
you're
doing
too.
So,
maybe
if
you
have
a
contest
among
Commissioners,
they
can
come
up
with
Dandy
way
of
of
capturing
this.
C
Yeah
it's
a
great
idea,
I
mean
you
know.
One
of
the
things
Rita
recommended
on
Friday
is
we're
agonizing
over
what
are
the
three
or
four
words
that
meet
the
name
of
the
program.
She
says:
remember
you
have
a
tagline
so
between
you
know
both
the
name
of
a
program
and
a
tagline.
We
hope
to
capture,
but
I
agree
with
you
that
the
word
like
Navigator
versus
Ambassador,
you
know
at
some
point
when
senior
ambassador
program
was
picked.
C
It's
because
other
people
were
calling
it
that
and
then,
when
we
started
looking
at
it
for
Arlington
it
sort
of
we
started
picking
it
apart
and
saying
senior.
We
don't
use
that
term,
you
know
and
and
so
on.
So
this
is
all
very
good
feedback.
We
appreciate
it.
E
A
All
right
well
again,
thank
you
so
much.
This
is
fantastic
and
what
a
I
wish
Cheryl
were
here
today,
but
she
is
not
with
us
I,
don't
think
and
Carlos
your
committee
has
been.
You
know,
fighting
not
fighting,
but
championing
know
this
for
a
long
time
and
it's
just
a
real
thrill
to
see
it
move
forward.
So
please
carry
that
back
to
Cheryl
and
others
what
a
force
she
has
been,
as
are
your
your
advisory
committee?
Really
terrific
people.
Okay,
thank
you!
Michelle.
A
All
right
we're
going
to
move
on
and
I
think
the
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
the
the
review
and
approval
of
the
June
meeting
minutes.
A
Has
everyone
had
a
chance
to
take
a
look
at
the
minutes?
Do
I
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes.
P
J
G
A
I'll,
Erica
your
hand
is
still
up.
Did
you
have
a
comment
all
in
favor
of
the
accepting
the
June
minutes
as
written,
say,
aye,
aye,
aye.
A
Okay,
the
chairs
report
well
I,
think
all
that
I
can
say
is
that
I've
just
been
a
very,
very
thrilled
with
the
progress
that
everyone
has
been
making.
A
As
you
may
know,
we
have
a
couple
things
to
note
with
the
County
government,
and
that
is
that
Libby
Garvey
has
been
named
as
our
liaison
and
so
I
think
it
might
be
important
to
kind
of
bring
her
up
to
speed
on
some
of
the
things
we've
done
as
and
Miss
Tarantino.
Is
that
how
we
say
her
name
has
been
elected
to
the
County
Board
to
fill
the
unfill
of
the
unexpired
term
of
Katie
Crystal.
A
So
until
the
new
election
and
County
board
members
are
sworn
in
in
January,
so
those
are
the
two
government
related
things
I
might
mention.
A
The
third
is
that,
when
I
look
ahead
to
those
who-
whose
term
is
about
to
expire,
one
of
which
is
delegate
Alfonso,
Lopez
and
I
have
reached
out
to
him
and
asked
him
to
share
his
advice
on
who
he
thinks
might
be
a
great
candidate
for
his
successor
and
so
we're
setting
up
a
phone
call
and
we'll
reach
out
to
him
and
we'll
come
back,
hopefully
by
the
September
meeting,
with
a
recommendation
that
we
can
move
forward
and
Helen
and
Rachel
guide
us
on
exactly
how
we,
how
we
move
forward
with
that
person,
but
I
think
he
sounded
honored
that
he
had
this
opportunity
and
also
willing
to
help
us
move
forward.
A
So
I'm
grateful
for
that.
We
talked
a
bit
during
the
executive
committee
meeting
about
what
type
of
elected
officials
since
the
bylaws
just
say,
elected
and
I.
Think
there
was.
There
was
some
thought
about
local
government
versus
state
government,
but
our
our
tendency
has
been
toward
working
with
the
state
government
official
to
help
us
bring
that
Viewpoint
to
the
commission,
and
so
many
decisions
are
made
in
Richmond
that
have
an
impact
on
our
community.
A
So
we're
going
to
kind
of
lead
with
that
and
see
what
delegate
Lopez
has
to
say
and
again
I
would
say
yay
to
Andrea
good
for
you.
That
is
wonderful.
The
volunteer
Arlington
folks
work
very
hard
on
on
this
recognition,
and
it's
wonderful
that
you
have
received
it.
Congratulations
are
there
any
questions
of
me
before
we
move
into
staff
reports
now?
A
Okay,
the
other
thing
I
would
mention
is
that
our
September
meeting
will
be
my
last
meeting
to
chair
and
I'm
delighted
that
William
is
going
to
be
the
next
chair
of
the
Commission
on
Aging
and
his
vice
chair
will
be
Kathy
Cameron,
so
we're
very
thrilled
about
that
William
and
it
will
not
be
with
us
in
September,
so
you're
kind
of
stuck
with
me
one
last
time,
but
we
will
be
doing
a
real
brainstorming
session
on
how
we
move
forward
with
our
next
iteration
of
age
friendly.
A
So
it's
the
opportunity
to
look
at
whether
or
not
committees
need
to
remain
Standalone
combined.
What
programs
need
to
be
included?
What
are
we
missing
and
I
think
there
are
some
areas
of
need
that
have
come
up,
particularly
since
the
the
first
of
our
plans
was
adopted.
So
that's
what
we'll
be
doing
in
the
September
meeting
as
a
little
bit
of
a
preview
all
right,
if
there
are
no
questions
of
me,
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Helen
and
Rachel.
B
All
right,
good
morning,
everyone
I
think
on
a
technicality
regarding
the
next
chair
and
vice
chair
I.
Think
we
can
consider
Linda's
announcement,
an
official
nomination
of
William
to
be
fair
and
Kathy
Cameron
to
be
Vice
chair,
and
we
will
officially
vote
on
that
in
September
and
then
they
will
take
the
realm
in
October.
I.
Think
that's
the
that's
the
official
course
of
action.
So
thank
you
anyway.
So
thank
you,
William
and
Kathy
for
your
willingness
to
put
your
names
forward
and
we
will
officially
vote
on
that
in
September.
B
So
this
morning,
I'd
like
to
take
my
allocated
time
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
area
plan
document
that
I
have
been
working
on
over
the
last
couple
months.
It
is
due
to
this
date
today,
so
I
want
to
give
you
all
just
a
quick
update.
Let
you
ask
any
questions
before
I
push
the
send
button
to
send
it
on
its
way.
So,
just
really
quick.
B
B
There
are
also
you
know
some
local
funds
that
go
into
some
of
those
programs
as
well,
but
what
I
focus
on
for
the
area
plan
is
is
specifically
the
state
and
federal
funds
that
are
allocated
to
us
so
to
give
you
an
overview
of
what
has
been
budgeted
for
each
of
the
main
programs
for
Homemaker
we're
looking
at
about
175
000
funds
and
have
75
000
in
those
funds.
B
B
The
forecasts
show,
as
can
being
as
high
as
515
000
on
this
program
next
year,
so
we'll
be
watching
that
very
closely
and
then
with
the
congregate
meal
program,
which
includes
the
social
60
plus
cafes,
as
well
as
the
adult
Day
program,
we're
budgeting
about
a
hundred
and
eight
thousand
dollars
between
those
two
programs.
B
Okay,
so
new
things
that
we're
looking
to
add
in
FY
2024.
So
we
have
our
standard
programs,
our
Meals
on
Wheels
Our,
Community,
Living,
Program,
the
congregate
meal
programs
Etc.
A
couple
of
the
things
that
I'm
going
to
be
looking
to
implement
in
2024
is
a
congregate
meal
program
in
a
local
restaurant.
B
So
one
of
the
ideas
that
we
have
kitchen
for
purpose
that
used
to
be
La
Cocina,
is
very
interested
in
partnering
with
us
on
this
little
effort
right,
so
we
would
set
a
menu
with
them
and
once
or
twice
a
week,
allow
older
adults
to
go
in,
choose
off
that
menu,
sit
in
an
actual
restaurant
and
have
their
meals.
This
is
a
program
that
has
been
implemented
in
other
jurisdictions
across
the
country.
B
We
hear
it's
very
successful
and
it
attracts
a
different,
a
different
group
of
older
adults
that
may
not
be
interested
in
going
into
a
senior
center
or
social
60
plus
Cafe,
for
example.
They
they're
really
more
interested
in
but
might
be
interested
in
going
into
the
community
into
an
actual
restaurant.
So
we're
going
to
be
looking
to
do
a
little
pilot
program
with
them.
B
B
It's
not
appropriate
for
whatever
chronic
disease
that
they
have
be
it
renal,
disease
or
or
or
high
blood
pressure
or
heart
disease,
and
so
I'd
like
to
Pilot
a
small
program
potentially
to
be
able
to
meet
the
needs
of
those
clients
who
really
would
benefit
from
a
home
delivered
meal,
but
they're
not
willing
to
accept
the
current
offering
because
it's
not
it's,
not
something,
that's
appropriate
for
their
dietary
needs
and
then,
of
course,
our
favorite
topic
of
Transportation
programs,
I'm.
B
Looking
also
at
we
know
that
our
our
current
senior
Loop
contract
is
going
to
end
and
at
the
end
of
May,
and
so
you
know
wanting
to
look
at.
Do
we
duplicate
that
program
as
is
or
are
there
ways
that
we
can
add
some
flexibility
into
the
program
to
make
it
more
widely
available
in
the
community?
You
know,
or
are
there
other
things
that
we
can
do
so?
B
Those
are
those
are
sort
of
three
main
areas
that
I'm
looking
at
as
injecting
something
new
into
what
we
do
typically
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
share
one
other
thing
with
you,
I'm,
going
to
share
my
screen.
Really
quick.
One
of
the
things
that
they
ask
us
to
do
is
to
look
at
our
demographics
right.
So
what
was
the
population
in
2019
and
then
how?
B
How
are
we
planning
to
take
our
dollars
and
serve
the
the
most
in
need
part
of
our
population,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
screen
capture
with
you
just
really
quick,
so
you
can
get
an
idea
of
what
that
looks
like.
So.
Can
everyone
see
that?
Okay,
yes,
okay,
so
this
First
Column
over
here
that
says
2019
ACS.
B
This
is
the
total
population
and
then
broken
down
into
into
the
demographic
categories
right
so
race
and
ethnicity,
as
well
as
our
low-income,
low-income
minority
and
individuals
that
live
alone,
and
so
when
we
look
at
the
services
that
we're
going
to
be
offering,
knowing
that
we
should
be
targeting
people
with
the
greatest
economic
or
social
need,
you
know
how.
How
are
we
planning
to
sort
of
break
apart
in
our
programs?
B
You
know
the
populations
that
we
serve.
So
you
know,
I
took
a
look
at
this
I've
looked
at
what
we
have
historically
served.
You
know
the
the
percentages
of
individuals
in
the
programs
typically,
and
so
just
made
some
projections
around
there.
So
looking
at
roughly
225
people
in
our
Homemaker
program,
275
in
transportation-
and
these
would
be
people
that
are
funded
strictly
by
the
older
Americans
act,
so
that
might
look
a
little
low
for
Homemaker.
It's
only
because
it's
it's
just
that
segment
of
the
population.
B
Okay,
thinking
that
we're
probably
going
to
be
close
to
2
000
people
in
our
in
our
information
and
assistance
through
our
adrc
300
in
our
congregate
meals,
275
in
the
home,
delivered
meals
targeting
50,
at
least
in
our
disease
prevention,
and
then
in
our
caregiver
program,
looking
to
touch
at
least
a
hundred
caregivers.
C
It's
got
some
really
rich
information
on
it
that
can
help
us
when
we're
applying
for
grants,
for
example,
to
talk
about
what
the
demographics
are
of
our
community,
65
and
older,
and
that
would
be
a
great
piece
of
paper
that
I
can
just
use
for
some
of
our
analysis.
Okay,
thanks.
A
My
question
is
a
fine
Homemaker,
and
the
second
question
is
the
category
of
living
alone.
Is
that
both
in
multi-family
and
single
family.
B
So
the
living
alone
is
in
multi-family
and
single
family
residences.
Yes,
so
it's
individuals
who
have
identified
that
they
live
by
themselves
and
Homemaker
is
our
community
living
program.
So
it's
the
in-home
services
that
we
we
provide
to
to
individuals
to
help
them
light
housekeeping.
B
P
Okay,
Helen
great
idea
about
the
the
the
congregate
meal
pilot
at
the
restaurant
I
was
wondering
I
haven't
heard
of
that
restaurant.
Where
is
that
approximately,
and
so.
B
A
It's
Columbia
Pike
and
it's
I
I
think
it's
Glebe
Road
right
and
physically
Road
and
Columbia
Pike
near
that
intersection.
P
Yeah,
oh
okay,
I
know
exactly
where
it
is:
okay,
well,
great
and
and
cost
wise.
Is
it
pretty
much
the
same
as
the
current
meals
or
is
it
going
to
be
more
any
thoughts.
B
So
we
would
hope
to
keep
it
close
to
the
cost
of
the
current
meals,
but
that
is
a
detail
that
we
would
have
to
work
out
as
we
as
we
look
into
this
pilot.
S
J
Yeah
Helen
I'd
like
to
hear
more
about
your
thoughts
on
expanding
the
senior
Loops
program.
I
think
I
think
there's
plenty
of
expansion
that
would
be
popular
out
there.
It's
one
of
the
more
popular
opportunities
that
we
hear
about
in
our
Outreach.
B
Yeah,
so
I
don't
have
any
specific
details
yet
Jim,
but
you
know
a
couple
ideas
of
things
that
you
know
that
have
occurred
to
me.
So,
first
of
all,
any
of
you
who
have
been
over
at
mosaic
area,
if
you
have
seen
the
autonomous
shuttle
that
goes
between
the
metro
and
the
Mosaic
area
right,
is
that
something
that
we
could
look
at
for,
especially
like
the
Carlin
that
is
so
close
to
Harris
Teeter
and
the
target
there
in
Boston
right.
B
B
So
you
know:
could
we
Implement,
maybe
some
sort
of
a
you
know,
a
debit
card
or
something
like
that
that
people
could
use
to
say
I
need
to
go
to
the
bank
on
Tuesday
right
I
can
go
when
I
need
to
go
and
not
wait
necessarily
for
the
next
Loop
that
may
come
around
in
another
week
right.
So
those
are
just
a
couple
ideas
that
I'm
I'm
mulling
over
there's
definitely
going
to
be
some
research
into
what
other
communities
are
doing
as
well.
B
J
Yeah
well
in
in
our
in
our
Outreach
William
and
I,
have
asked
questions
about
various
things,
but
we,
we
perhaps
should
have
asked
questions
about
how
people
would
prefer
expanding
this
service.
I
know
most
people
who
don't
have
it
would
like
to
have
it.
B
Absolutely
absolutely
so,
and
certainly
you
know
we'll
be
working
with
you
Jim
and
William,
and
your
transportation
committee,
and
you
know,
and
making
it
part
of
the
community
engagement
forum
for
next
year
as
well,
right.
A
Great,
that's
terrific,
any
other
questions
of
Helen
Helen.
This
is
you've,
given
us
a
lot
of
food
for
thought.
As
you
can
tell,
and
look
forward
to
working
with
you
on
these
items,
I
just
think
it's
a
great.
You
know
great
way
to
expand
and
also
pay
attention
to
those
who
many
older
adults
who
have
food
related
concerns,
as
they
age
and
their
their
health
is
compromised
and
need
different
kinds
of
meals.
K
B
I
can
I
just
offer
two
two
more
quick
things.
So,
first
of
all,
we
had
our
first
pop-up
market
last
week
out
at
Woodland
hill
and
had
about
35
people,
I
think
come,
and
so
it
was.
It
was
a
little
warm,
but
we
were
in
the
shade,
and
you
know
just
everybody's
super
excited
to
be
coming
down.
B
B
We
have
1500
books
to
distribute
this
year,
so
if
we
haven't
distributed
them
all
by
July
31st,
which
is
when
we
said
we
were
cutting
off
applications,
we
are
able
to
accept
applications
through
September
early
September,
and
so
we
will
keep
it
open
as
long
as
we
have
books,
and
so
if
any
of
you
in
your
encounters,
come
across,
you
know
low-income
older
adults,
ask
them
if
they've
signed
up
for
senior
farmers
market
yet
and
if
they
haven't
send
them
our
way,
and
that's
all
I
got
to
thank
Linda.
A
Wonderful,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
I
think
that's
just
a
wonderful
thing.
Rachel
do
you
have
anything
you
wanted
to
share
with
us?
Yes,.
R
R
R
Different
programs,
different
departments,
Jim
Baker,
is
such
a
resource
as
well
with
helping
with
the
finances
of
State
local
Federal,
all
of
that
and
how
that
kind
of
feeds
into
the
area
plan
and
then
each
of
you,
the
feedback
that
we
receive
at
the
community
engagement
Forum
sessions
at
meetings
like
this
one
at
listening
sessions
in
the
community.
All
of
that
helps
to
shape
the
area
plan,
and
so
just
want
to.
Thank
you
all
for
your
help
and
hard
work
in
making
it
come
to
fruition.
Wendy
I
think
your
comment.
R
We
used
to
have
a
chart
that
actually
broke
down
the
federal
state,
local
funding
and
who
was
served
and
that's
something
we
can
look
at
repopulating
once
the
plan
is
in
and
sharing
with
everybody.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Today
we
is
is
very
exciting.
We
had
a
new
Adult
Protective
Services
person
start
today.
R
R
We
are
working
at
year,
end
closeout
of
the
the
county
fiscal
year
and
and
capturing
that
num
those
numbers,
but
as
of
June
Adult
Protective
Services
has
712
reports,
which
is
record
that
doesn't
include
July,
and
we
were
meeting
with
our
our
colleagues
in
Fairfax
last
week
and
for
having
almost
quadruple
the
size
of
our
team
they
had
about.
R
They
have
about
1200
reports,
so
that
team
has
been
extremely
busy
and
under
the
leadership
of
Joanne
Leach,
continuing
to
to
do
the
great
work
and
meeting
the
needs
of
older
adults
experiencing
abuse,
neglect
and
exploitation.
R
Our
Arlington
Adult
Day
program
is
under
partnering
with
Behavioral
Health
and
the
the
Clarendon
House
program
at
looking
at
the
need
for
expanding
Adult
Day
programs
throughout
the
county,
and
we've
been
working
with
a
consultant
and
we'll,
hopefully
have
a
final
report
in
the
next
week
or
so
once
we
have
a
chance
to
review
it
and
share
it
with
leadership,
we'll
be
sure
to
share
it.
The
recommendations
more
broadly
and
Erica.
R
It's
a
very
small
world,
because
Dari
pogash
has
been
kind
of
the
lead
on
this
and,
like
everyone
speaks
so
highly
of
you,
but
we've
been
really
thrilled
with
the
initial
results
and
we'll
be
sure
to
share
those
recommendations
about
just
the
growing
need
for
adult
day
programs
in
in
the
county.
Currently,
our
Arlington
Adult
Day
program
has
an
interest
list
of
over
40
individuals,
and
so
that's
one
metric
that
speaks
to
the
need.
R
One
very
exciting
piece
of
information
to
share
that
is
sort
of
hot
off
the
presses,
but
Helen
and
I
were
in
a
meeting
last
week
with
the
county.
Communications
office
and
they'll
be
scheduling
a
meeting
with
the
commission
and
Advisory
Group
chairs,
but
we
no
longer
have
to
record
every
single
commission
committee
meeting
the
the
county
attorney's
office
really
looked
at
the
regs,
and
that
was
more
a
local
regulation
and
not
speaking
to
the
state
and
foia
so
moving
forward.
R
We
will
still
record
the
full
Commission
on
Aging
meetings,
but
for
the
Committees
there's
not
kind
of
that
that
Stress
and
Anxiety
of
of
recording
the
meetings
it
is
now
optional.
It
is
not
mandatory,
so
we'll
discuss
this
more
in
the
executive
committee
meetings
and
with
the
chairs,
but
just
to
hot
off
the
presses
type
of
thing
that
we
recently
learned.
R
So
that
is
on
the
record,
because
we're
recording
this
meeting
one
other
update
our
aging
and
disability
Resource
Center
under
Dr
shandia
Johnson,
continues
to
experience
a
high
volume
of
individuals,
older
adults,
experiencing
homelessness
facing
evictions,
and
there
really
is
just
a
need
to
do
more.
For
our
older
adults.
We
had
an
example
last
week
of
someone
who
was
evicted
and
called
you
know,
the
sheriff
was
coming
at
four
o'clock.
R
There
were
some
challenges
with
mobility
issues.
The
shelter
was
looking
at.
Is
this
person
appropriate,
and
so
there
is
an
opportunity
to
comment
through
the
draft
strategic
plan
to
prevent
and
end
homelessness.
Helen
included
this
in
her.
The
Rita
head
packet
I'll
also
put
the
link
in
the
chat,
but
we
need
help
raising
and
elevating
the
issue
of
older
adults
and
the
need
for
specialized
attention
and
supportive
services
to
our
older
adults
experiencing
homelessness.
R
Currently,
in
the
Strategic
plan,
there
is
one
mention
of
kind
of
aging
and
seniors,
and
it's
looking
at
more
more
housing
through
Rapid
re-housing,
through
the
rapid,
rehousing
and
permanent
Supportive
Housing
for
older
adults,
which
is
vital,
but
it
doesn't
speak
to
the
needs
and
the
way
that
some
of
the
other
groups
are
are
really
getting
specialized
attention
so
and
then
just
two
other
updates
that
I
have
the
Arlington
County
Fair
is
coming.
R
I
know
this
is
everyone's
favorite
event
of
the
year,
but
the
county
fair
will
be
August
16th
through
the
20th
and
we'll
be
Staffing
a
table.
August
18th
through
the
20th
Michelle
Thomas,
who
helps
to
coordinate
our
Outreach
for
our
division,
we'll
probably
be
sending
an
email
out.
She
shared
one
internally
with
staff,
but
if
anyone
is
interested,
you
love
the
fair.
You
want
to
get
your
funnel
cake
and
and
spend
some
hours
trying
to
recruit
for
the
commission
or
share
information
about
resources
and
services.
R
You
you
can
let
Michelle
or
me
or
Helen,
know
and
then
be
sure
to
stop
by
the
fair.
If
you
are
in
town-
and
just
the
last
thing
that
I
wanted
to
share
is
we
are
working
closely
with
our
benefits
office
with
the
lifting
of
the
public
health
emergency?
One
of
the
impacts
that
we're
seeing
is
the
the
continuity
of
Medicaid.
R
So
during
the
pandemic,
individuals
who
qualified
for
Medicaid
did
not
have
renewals
that
started
up
again
this
year
and
we
learned
just
last
week
that
older
adults
are
failing
to
complete
their
Medicaid
renewals
on
time
at
a
higher
percentage
than
other
other
demographics
other
groups,
so
we're
working
with
our
benefits
office,
specifically
with
Pat
rivers
and
Helen,
mentioned
the
pop-up
farmers
markets,
we're
looking
at
having
some
of
of
their
staff
join
us
at
pop-up
farmers
markets
at
some
of
our
Outreach
events
at
the
independent
living
residences.
R
We're
often
there
when
afac
is
there
for
their
food
distribution
and
then
Michelle,
who,
if
you
are
on
Michelle
I,
want
to
give
an
update.
Michelle
is
looking
at
partnering
with
with
Pat
and
her
team,
and
some
of
the
vi
cap,
Outreach
and
I'll
put
information
in
the
chat,
and
we
can
also
share
of
what
you
can
do
to
help
get
the
message
out.
Michelle
hi.
G
Testing
one
two:
three:
are
you
able
to
hear
me?
Okay,
we
are
yes,
oh
super
super.
Yes,
thank
you!
So
much
Rachel!
Yes
in
response
to
the
Public
Health
Emergency
VI
cap
is
partnering
with
the
economic
independence
division
to
help
Medicaid
beneficiaries
reapply
for
their
benefits.
Two
days
have
been
scheduled
already,
where
our
teams
are
going
to
collaborate
and
conduct
the
pop-up
sites
at
Culpepper
Garden
to
help
them
remain
insured.
G
Many
of
you
know
that
a
lot
of
our
clients
that
we
specifically
work
with
in
the
vicap
office
are
dual
eligible,
which
means
they
have
Medicare
and
Medicaid,
and
so
a
lot
of
the
clients
we
work
with
are
enrolled
in
the
Medicare
Savings
programs,
which
is
an
expansion
of
having
Medicaid,
and
so
we're
going
to
be
working
with
our
partners
in
the
community.
I
see
Charlie
Sabatino
here
here,
who's
on
the
vi
cap
team
as
well.
G
G
So
thank
you,
Rebecca
in
helping
us
to
ensure
the
success
of
this
event,
so
we'll
we'll
be
going
to
Culpepper
Gardens
to
have
a
site
and
be
available
to
help
individuals
renew
their
Medicaid
benefits,
in
addition
to
sharing
some
other
resources
and
then
we're
looking
at
additional
housing
sites
to
offer
the
same
level
of
support
to
ensure
people
do
not
lose
their
health
care
coverage.
Thank
you
again.
R
Thanks
so
much
Michelle
and
then
just
lastly,
my
moon
is
was
not
able
to
be
here
today,
but
we
hope
to
have
an
announcement
very
soon
about
the
raft
director,
as
you
all
know,
Alice
straker
retired,
in
June,
and
we
are
in
the
final
process
of
recruitment
for
the
raft
director,
and
so
my
moon
will
hopefully
have
an
update
that
we'll
be
sure
to
share
with
you
all
very
soon.
But
that's
all
we
have
for
staff
updates
any
questions
problem.
A
Okay,
all
right
I
see
no
questions
but
I
had
one
comment:
I
did
go
online.
It's
very
easy
to
comment
on
the
draft
strategic
plan
for
homelessness
services,
and
one
of
the
things
that
is
pretty
obvious
right
at
the
beginning
is
that
there
is
no
age
breakdown
in
the
data
that
they've
collected
and
I.
Think
that
would
be
extremely
helpful,
and
that
was
one
of
my
comments
too.
A
Okay,
if
there
are
no
questions,
we're
going
to
shuffle
on
and
move
Audrey
is
not
here
to
provide
a
report
on
housing
and
supportive
services
does
do
we
have
any
other
report
on
her
behalf.
I
know
that
she's,
following
several
things
concerning
sunrise
and
hopefully
I'm,
twisting
them
to
consider
having
several
of
their
units
or
beds
committed
to
affordability.
A
We
don't
currently
have
a
requirement
that
makes
that
happen,
but
since
Alexandria
has
been
successful,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
using
that
same
leverage
here
in
Arlington
and
their
new
construction
and
I
know
she's
following
some
other
things,
but
I
don't
have
any
other
details.
Does
anyone
have
any
other
housing
related
comments
to
share
okay,
legislative
Herschel.
A
Her
shall
we,
if
you
are
you're
on
mute,
if
you're,
covering
something
you're.
N
N
The
end
van
meeting
that'll
be
kind
of
the
final
wording
for
the
platform
for
2024
is
tomorrow
tomorrow
morning
Arlington
is
chairing
the
September
meeting
and
I
I
guess
I
guess
William
will
be.
N
We
we
had
a
kind
of
a
separate
group
or
an
ad
hoc
group,
although
I
guess
at
every
anvan
committee
is
an
ad
hoc
committee,
but
to
contact
potential
new
delegates
and
senators
and
William
and
I
are
and
Joan
are
involved
in
that,
and
in
fact,
William
has
taken
a
major
part
in
that
he's.
He,
as
I
mentioned
last
week
at
the
executive
committee,
Williams
seems
to
volunteer
for
everything
and
and
then
do
what
he
said
he
would.
N
He
would
do
including
preparing
scripts
and
contacting
people
loud
and
Counting
candidates
in
Loudoun
County,
when
no
one
else
would
step
forward.
N
So
I
guess,
Arlington
and
Alexandria
are
much
more
aggressive
or
feel
free
or
to
contact
legislators
than
some
of
the
other
counties
in
nban.
Who
I
think
may
have
some
restrictive
rules
on
what
at
least
commission
members
can
do
so
that's
going
forward
and
we're
going
to
John
and
I
are
going
to
be
talking
to
Adele
about
Enderman
and
about
the
end
van
breakfast
and
what
and
Van
platform
in
a
in
a
couple
weeks.
We
have
something
scheduled.
A
Can
you
forward
so
that
Helen
can
include
the
information
on
registering
for
the
end
van
breakfast
and
also
I?
Think
Arlington
is
responsible
for
the
September
program
which
Helen
and
Rachel
have
been
working
on
if
they
want
to
chip
in
and
let
folks
know
what
that
online
meeting
might
look
like.
R
Yes,
so
we
are
looking
at
having
we
reach
out
to
somebody
from
the
Metropolitan
Washington
Council
of
governments,
Hillary
Chapman,
who
was
critical
in
developing
the
point
in
time,
study
for
for
the
the
region
about
homelessness
and
the
impact
on
the
region,
the
increase
where
they
actually
do
break
it
down
by
age.
And
then,
if
she's
not
available.
N
R
N
Okay,
I
yeah
I,
the
registration
for
the
breakfast
I
think
not
has
not
gone
out
if
I'm
I,
don't
think,
and
I
and
I
am
one
in
the
end
van
breakfast
committee
and
as
I
said
at
the
at
the
executive
committee
as
someone
else
who's
going
to
be
on,
the
commission
would
like
to
participate
instead
of
me.
Otherwise
I
will
I
will
continue
on
that
committee
for
I
guess
for
next
year.
N
If
no
one
else
wants
to
to
replace
me,
although
I'm
not
a
big
contributor
to
the
meetings,
but
that
is
on
planning
the
breakfast
I
think
that's
it.
I
I
will
be
going
off
as
chairman
and
I
had
promised
Anthony.
N
That
I
would
arrange
meetings
with
some
of
the
delegates
and
senators
and
I
have
talked
to
Patrick
and
Barbara
and
and
both
of
them
said
they'd
be
happy
to
meet,
so
we
I
will
arrange
meetings
for
Anthony
with
them
and
and
and
maybe
he
can,
if
he's
available,
he
can
come
to
the
meeting
with
Adele
McClure.
N
Although
the
the
meeting
has
a
specific
purpose
of
of
telling
her
about
Anne
van
and
the
anvan,
breakfast
and
so
forth
and
Patrick
hope
did
send
out
an
email
to
all
the
at
least
all
the
Democratic
candidates
for
delegate
and
senator
or
who
would
be
new
to
the
legislatures,
telling
them
about
envan
as
kind
of
an
introductory
thing.
So
that
was
helpful.
A
Herschel,
if
you
don't
have
anyone
else
to
be
on
your
meeting
with
Adele
I'd,
be
happy
to
join
you
on
that.
One.
N
No,
no
John
and
I
are
and-
and
we
don't
really
need
anybody
else-
I
just
thought
it
would
be
an
opportunity
for
Anthony
to
meet
meet
her
if
he's
available.
But
you
know
Joan
and
I
are
taking
or
will
be
more
than
I
guess
to.
Maybe
they
don't
even
need
both
of
us,
but
anyway,
Adele
was
was
happy
to
meet
with
us
and
both
John
and
I
have
have
met
her
before.
Q
Her
Salon
I
am
open.
Please
send
me
the
information,
that's
the
first
time,
I'm
hearing
about
it.
So
you
know
please
let
me
know
so.
I
can
get
it
on
my
calendar
and.
Q
I
do
look
forward
to
me
making
the
getting
the
meetings
prior
to
you.
You
know
jumping
off,
because
I
want
to
make
sure
it's
a
smooth
transition
that
I
can
effectively
manage.
You
know
the
big
void
that
you're
going
to
be
leaving
you
know,
and
so
I
want
to
I
want
to
make
sure
I
can
execute
properly
so
internet.
Those
introductions,
prior,
you
know
I
think,
would
be
very
helpful
to
making
the
transition
smooth.
N
Okay,
there
is
one
other
I
think
I
re
I
realized
I
I,
well,
I'll
talk
separately
to
Helen
I
thought.
I
was
supposed
to
check
about
the
the
date
of
the
Forum
Alan.
What
we
had
talked
about
a
particular
date
and.
B
Yeah
I
don't
think
that
we
finalized
a
date
Herschel
so
lets
you
and
I
connect
outside
of
this
meeting
and
just
nail
down
what
date
we're
going
to
Target.
N
Okay,
to
actually
kind
of
dropped,
that
I
guess
I'm,
a
short
timer,
I
guess
and
any
anyway.
A
J
A
Wouldn't
say
that
about
you,
we
certainly
wouldn't
say
that
about
you,
any
other
questions
or
comments
for
rehearsal
and
yes,
Herschel
does
his
his
second
term
will
complete
at
the
end
of
September.
So
we
look
forward
to
seeing
you
at
the
September
meeting
Herschel.
A
So
we
can
thank
you
for
all
that
you've
done
for
us
and
hopefully
we're
working
on
making
sure
at
least
one
other,
commissioner
is
active
on
the
committee
to
fill
yours
the
void
and
and
provide
some
backup
and
and
co-working
relationships
with
Anthony
moving
on
to
long-term
residences.
Do
we
have
any
report
on
the
long-term
care
committee.
A
I
know
they
met
and
I
was
not
available
to
meet
and
I.
Don't
recall
much
else.
Rachel
did
you
have
anything
there?
Yes,.
R
One
of
the
updates
is
that
Carl
Varner
will
be
the
new
Ombudsman
for
Arlington
the
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
Medicaid,
renewals
and
just
again
thanks
to
Kate
Kramer
for
bringing
that
that
up,
but
working
on
more
Outreach
and
making
sure
that
Medicaid
renewals
occur
and
that
we're
also
working
with
the
long-term
care
communities,
because
we
are
seeing
some
gaps
in
in
coverage
with
that.
R
Claire
mentioned
the
the
great
resource
about
the
super
senior
taxi,
so
just
another
resource
for
half
price
cab
coupons,
and
then
we
talked
about
maybe
having
Virginia
Hospital
Center
as
a
speaker
for
one
of
the
upcoming
meetings,
specifically
to
talk
about
the
the
protocol
for
both
Admissions
and
discharges.
R
And
there
was
a
discussion
of
a
a
sort
of
specific
case,
but
looking
at
maybe
having
VHC
as
a
a
future
speaker
and
then
just
staying
on
top
of
the
sunrise,
develop
treatment
and
the
transition
and
messaging
of
what
that
is
going
to
be
for
to
the
current
residents
and
caregivers.
But
since
that's
not
been,
you
know
approved
by
the
County
board
or
even
completed
the
Planning
Commission
I'm,
just
thinking
proactively
of
staying
on
top
of
that.
R
For
for
the
development
there
there
will
be
no
meeting
in
August
and
the
next
meeting
will
take
place
in
September
and
I.
Think
Charlie
gave
a
great
suggestion
which
I'm
forgetting
what
it
is,
but
I
believe
maimuna
is
following
up
with
Charlie's
suggestion
for
a
speaker
at
the
September
meeting
and
Kate
I
see
your
hand
is
up
if
I
missed
anything.
Please
add
it.
S
K
S
Qr
code
that
will
go
up
on
the
website
that
people
can
either
scan
or
someone
can
help
them
scan
and
it
it'll
link
them
to
a
health
profile.
So
when
their
cell
phone
calls
9-1-1,
we
can
be
pre-alerted
to
you
know
what
kind
of
medical
conditions
of
who
they're
Mexican
is
who
who
maybe
would
be
their
emergency
contact.
S
Allergies,
any
kind
of
pertinent
medical
information
that
you
might
not
be
able
to
give
depending
on
what
your
medical
emergency
is,
and
it's
a
really
great
resource
and
we're
hoping
that
a
lot
of
the
community
centers
or
a
lot
of
community
members
will
engage
in
this
process
so
that
that'll
help
kind
of
streamline
their
health
care
and
help
streamline
their
our
ability
to
serve
them
correctly.
So
I'll
put
the
if
you
have
the
handout.
S
R
Yeah,
no
thank
you
so
much
Kate
and
I
I,
actually
don't
have
that
from
Angelina
yet
but
I
did
include.
This
is
as
part
of
of
some
of
the
Marcus
alert
efforts
and
I.
Don't
think
it's
on
the
website
yet,
but
they
are
planning
to
post
it
on
the
website.
So
I'll
I'll
follow
up
with
Angelina
and
then
we'll
share
the
information
about
SOS
with
with
everyone
as
part
of
the
follow-up
to
this
meeting.
But
thank
you.
Kate
yeah,
very
important,
update,
Charlie.
T
Thank
you
Rachel
for
that
summary.
With
respect
to
the
suggestion
for
a
future
speaker,
we
hope
to
have
at
the
September
meeting
the
chair
of
the
moving
forward.
T
Coalition
speak
and
everyone
will
be
invited
who
was
interested
in
that
the
moving
forward
Coalition
was
created
after
the
National
Academy
of
Sciences
came
out
with
their
nursing
home
quality
report
in
April
of
2022,
which
was
really
the
first
major
report
that
they've
done
since
1986
I
think,
and
there
were
seven
major
recommendations
from
that
report,
and
the
Really
forward
Coalition
was
created,
was
funding
from
the
John,
a
Hartford
Foundation,
to
bring
national
leaders
together
to
work
on
implementing
those
seven
recommendations.
T
I've
shared
one
of
the
work
groups
in
that
Coalition
and
the
first
year
of
the
work
was
to
create
action
plans
and
the
action
plans
upon
these
recommendations
will
be
publicly
published
on
July
18th,
coming
right
up
on
their
web
page,
which
is
moving
forward
coalition.org.
T
T
And
the
chair
is
Alice
Bonner
of
the
of
the
Coalition
and
and
she
agreed
to
speak
at
our
next
long-term
care
residences
committee.
A
Any
other
questions
regarding
long-term
care.
A
T
Yes,
the
leading
age
has
a
member
of
the
steering
committee
is
actually
from
Leading
Age.
The
the
Coalition
has
a
national
steering
committee,
and
then
it
had
seven
committees
with
chairs
and
then
a
few
a
couple,
different
work
groups,
so
there's
several
dozen
people
of
all
professional
backgrounds
and
both
industry
and
non-profit,
is
pretty.
A
Representative
great
well,
thank
you
very
much.
I,
look
forward
to
that
presentation
and
it'll
be
on
our
calendar
for
September,
for
others
who
want
to
listen
in
on
that
day.
I
believe
all
of
the
long-term
care
residences
I
mean
programs
are
virtual
because
we're
not
an
official
committee.
So
it
makes
it
easier
on
everyone.
A
Link
and
I
should
mention
here.
That
link
has
been
asked
to
have
a
six-month
extension
on
his
term
because
he's
working
with
the
group
on
issues
related
to
scamming,
and
he
felt
that
that
project
really
needed
a
little
bit
more
time
to
complete
so
link.
I
will
turn
the
discussion
next
over
to
you
with
Pai
e.
O
We've
had
a
very
engaging
year
with,
with
partnership
with
Paramount
University,
with
Andrea's
walking,
school
bus
and
now
getting
involved
in
scams,
I'm
going
to
be
posting
a
video
for
all
of
you
to
look
at
it.
It's
probably
20
minutes,
but
it's
an
incredibly
inspiring
testimony
of
a
person
who
has
been
scammed
and
by
the
way,
it's
something
that
any
one
of
you
could
have
been
in
touch
with
it's
kind
of
a
forerunner
of
the
kinds
of
things
that
we're
going
to
be
working
on
on
scam
and
elder
abuse.
O
Prevention,
Andrea
has
been
recognized
throughout
the
county
for
the
walking
School
Bus
work.
Andrea,
give
us
an
update.
I
It
well
I
have
to
say
that
the
volunteer
Arlington
ceremony
Awards
certainly
raised
interest.
We
got
two
new
drivers
just
there
on
the
night
of
the
award
plus
our
new
sheriff
wants
to
go
and
take
a
walk
with
us
one
of
our
routes
to
school.
We
are
looking
for
funding,
you
know
for
the
23-24
year.
There
was
no
question
that
the
ACF
Grant
was
absolutely
critical
in
keeping
the
walking
school
bus
to
life,
and
so
when
we
want
to
keep
that
going.
I
Let's
see,
we
now
have
Kevin
treacle
on
board
with
us
who
is
with
Arlington
Public
Schools.
Well,
you
everyone's
met
Kevin.
He
went
and
addressed
the
commission,
and
so
anyway,
now
having
him
focused
on
the
school
bus.
I
really
look
forward
to
expanding
what
we're
hoping
for
is
maybe
five
new
schools
in
this
coming
year.
Anyway.
So
that's
my
report
and
if
you
guys
have
any
thoughts
about
funding
sources,
let
me
know.
O
I
A
Link
Charlie,
you
have
your
hand
up.
Did
you
have
a
question.
U
A
Okay,
do
you
want
to
go
ahead
and
just
say
it
out
loud.
M
R
Well,
I
mean
I
think
that
would
really
be
more
of
a
question
for
like
the
ambassador
program,
something
that
Arlington
neighborhood
Village
would
consider
and
then,
with
the
walking
School
Bus
the
partnership
with
the
alliance
and
Wendy,
you
can
speak
more
to
Neighborhood
Village,
but
I
think
you
know
that's
the
benefit
of
working
with
Community
Partners,
there's
not
the
same
level
of
restrictions
that
the
there
would
be
with
local
government.
C
Yeah,
so
it's
an
interesting
question:
Carlos
we
haven't
pursued
GoFundMe,
you
know
we
can
look
into
it.
I
suspect
that
part
of
success
there
is
being
able
to
get
your
message
out
to
get
people
to
know
you
have
a
GoFundMe
campaign
and
then
you
know
want
to
click
in
and
fund
it.
So
we'd
have
to
think
about
that.
But
it's
a
good.
It's
a
good
question.
A
M
Thank
you
so
much
I
apologize
that,
for
some
reason,
I
think
my
avatar
took
over
my
camera
and
I
can't
be
back
and
and
I
say
that
with
some
humor,
but
you
know,
AI
is
really
shifting
our
world
very
rapidly,
and
I
recently
saw
a
play:
About
This
Woman's,
older
woman,
who
was
given
an
AI
robot,
and
it's
a
fascinating
narrative
and
and
one
that's
going
to
really
impact
all
of
us
down
the
road.
So
we
can,
we
can
find
humor
with
the
Avatar
I
have
done
to
my
camera,
but
it's
a
reality.
M
A
new
reality
and
I
had
already
mentioned
this
hello
about
yeah
I'll,
be
right
back
and
that
we
are
hosting
a
meeting
to
recognize
the
transitions
that
are
happening
so
I
sent
the
invitation
out
so
hopefully
you'll
get
it
in
a
few
minutes
and
spread
the
word
out,
because
that's
really
important
to
have
a
presence
there
to
thank
everyone.
Who's
contributed
and
that's
all
I
really
have
in
terms
of
an
update.
A
Okay,
all
right!
Well,
thank
you
for
doing
the
effort
to
recognize
all
the
work
that
Cheryl
and
others
have
done,
and
we
really
appreciate
you
you
doing
this.
A
Okay,
any
questions
for
Carlos
before
we
move
on
all
right,
Transportation,
Jim,
I'm!
So
sorry
that
you're
always
last,
usually
we
change
it
up
a
little
bit,
but
I
haven't
been
good
at
doing
that
lately.
So
thank
you
for
your
patience.
J
Okay,
we
I
first
of
all,
I
guess.
I
would
ask
Helen
to
put
our
quarterly
on
for
the
12th
of
September
at
2
pm.
You
wouldn't
mind
scheduling
that
we're
going
to
talk
about
several
things
amongst
them.
J
We'll
talk
about
the
results
of
of
our
Outreach
programs
and
the
results
of
a
review,
our
critique
on
four
different
County
plans
or
reviews
amongst
those
plans
and
and
I
have
to
admit
that
I've
I've
been
trying
to
figure
out
really
how
to
brief
you
on
my
reviews
of
the
plans
of
the
city
of
the
county,
but
that
turns
out
to
be
a
big
package
and
I
think
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
to
submit
written
reports
on
them
with
just
a
quick
summary
but
the,
but
the
plans
and
and
strategies
are
the
transit
strategic
plan
which
is
completed.
J
I
I
attended
the
update
on
the
21st
of
June
actually
and
have
finished.
Looking
over
that
plan,
it's
a
great
strategy.
I'll
I'll,
go
into
a
little
bit
of
detail
after
I
finish
here
on
what
it
what
it
entails.
The
plan
for
Langston
Boulevard,
the
update,
was
supposed
to
be
held
last
week,
but
it
was
postponed
until
the
20th
I'll
be
at
that.
J
That's
a
huge,
a
huge
undertaking,
I
think
I,
think
there's
some
really
good
things
coming
out
of
the
Langston
plan
and
and
I
will
be
reporting
on
that,
and
the
South
George
Mason
Drive
multi-modal
study
is
also
under
review
and
I
I.
Don't
have
any
comments
on
that
yet
and
finally,
there
will
be
an
an
annual
Transit,
Capital
Tour,
looking
at
all
the
infrastructure
for
the
for
transit
in
the
county
on
the
25th
of
July
and
I
will
be
on
that
bus.
J
The
Transportation
Commission
Joan
is
not
here,
but
let
me
just
talk
about
a
few
things.
The
first
is
the
project,
the
complete
streets,
projects
that
have
been
funded
or
have
been
accepted
for
funding
the
14th,
Street
North,
South,
Irving,
Street
and
8th
Road
South
are
all
part
of
those,
and
you
remember
that
cat
complete
streets
means
not
just
vehicles,
but
every
possible
conveyance
type
will
be
considered
in
that
for
optimization.
J
The
the
food
study,
which
is
a
which
is
a
decision
that
is
pending
in
the
County
Board,
to
extend
the
the
amount
of
of
outdoor
dining
that
has
been
agreed
for
only
for
the
period
of
the
pandemic.
They're
they're,
talking
about
expanding
that
I
was
I,
was
really
pleased
to
see
that
the
Transportation
Commission
has
asked
them
to
put
off
their
decision
in
view
of
the
fact
that
they
have
found
a
number
of
sidewalk
obstructions
by
tables
that
bring
them
down
below
six
feet.
J
We
have
also
made
that
comment.
That's
a
big
problem
for
older
adults,
of
course.
So
that's
a
good
thing,
and,
and
lastly,
there
there
is
a
funding
for
a
multi-modal
connection
now
to
the
DCA
Airport
through
Shirlington
and
Crystal
City
they're,
not
going
to
use
a
direct
art
conveyance
there,
but
they'll
go
through
those
two
multimodals
stations.
J
Just
a
couple
of
comments
on
the
transit
study.
The
the
transit
strategy
plan
is
a
10-year
effort
to
improve
mainly
art
and
the
the
three
most
common
improvements
that
I
picked
out
of
the
the
the
Strategic
plan
are
higher
frequency
service
over
longer
periods
of
the
day
and
more
service
during
off-peak
hours
like
weekends.
That's
that's
really
good
they're.
J
They
concentrated
on
on
four
areas:
Crystal
City
and
Pentagon
City
North,
Arlington,
Columbia,
Pike,
Shirlington
transit
station,
a
lot
of
good
stuff
coming
out
of
that,
for
example,
on
Crystal
City
weekday
hours
are
going
to
be
expanded
about
26,
27
percent
Saturday
hours
by
64
and
Sunday
hours
by
94.
That's
all
good
stuff,
and
it's
in
particular
things
we
hear
about.
When
we
talk
to
older
adults,
so
I
I,
guess
that's
that's
about
it.
A
Because
I
always
wonder
if
the
art
buses
are
a
little
underutilized
and
could
be,
the
roots
could
serve
the
older
adult
community
and
it
sounds
like
they're
looking
at
that.
So
that's
really
great
any
questions
for
for
Jim
before
we
move
on.
J
Yeah
I
might
I
might
also
add
that
one
of
the
things
that
they're
looking
at
are
reconfiguring
the
bus
stops
are
the
bus
routes?
Excuse
me
and
they've
done
that
in
a
couple
of
areas
which
I
I
think
is
going
to
improve
things,
Andrea.
A
Okay,
all
right!
Thank
you,
Jim,
okay!
Now
it's
time
for
liaison
reports,
Cynthia!
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
and
again,
if
I
may
say
how
beautiful
and
wonderful
the
age
friendly
five-year
report
was.
Thank
you
to
all
the
chairs
you
provided
input,
but
also
Cynthia.
Thank
you
for
pulling
that
together.
A
I
shared
it
with
some
of
my
friends
just
because
it
it
just
is
a
wonderful,
wonderful
piece
of
work
and
I
kind
of
look
forward
to
what
happens
next,
since
September
is
one
of
the
meetings
where
we're
going
to
have
kind
of
a
beginning
of
that
discussion.
Do
you
want
to
as
part
of
your
comment
today?
Would
you
set
the
table
for
that
a
little
bit,
Cynthia
sure.
U
As
you
know,
it
seems
that
AARP
was
quite
enthusiastic
about
the
report.
So
that's
that's
a
good
sign
also,
but
we
the
then
this
is
a.
This
is
a
recurring
cycle.
It's
a
strategic
planning
cycle,
the
way
the
age
friendly
works,
so
we
completed
our
first
five
year
cycle,
and
that
means
it's
time
to
gear
up
for
the
next
five
years.
U
I
assume
that
the
committee
chairs
have
already
been
talking
with
their
committees
about
what
kinds
of
things
might
need
to
change.
Do
they
want
to
refocus?
U
U
Have
we
structured
correctly
have
new
things
Arisen
that
we
need
to
make
sure
the
long-term
care
committee
was
created
in
the
middle
of
this
cycle
and
obviously
there's
there
needs
to
be
a
plan
related
to
that
as
we
continue
do
we
want
to
combine
some
things
or
break
off
some
things
or
what
is
what
are
the
ways
to
focus?
So
it's
great
timing
for
that.
U
The
committee,
the
task
force,
the
long-term,
the
age
friendly
task
force
normally
meets
every
other
month,
but
we're
taking
August
off
also
because
everybody
else
is
so
we
will
be
meeting
in
September
and
I.
Thought
I
would
schedule
a
meeting
earlier
in
September
before
the
commission
meeting.
So
we
can
talk
about
how
we
are
prepared
to
support
the
commission
with
whatever
comes
out
of
that
discussion
right
now.
What
we
do
is
we
have
a
liaison
to
each
of
the
Committees
either
and
sometimes
it's
one
of
the
co-chairs.
U
Sometimes
it's
a
member
of
the
committee,
but
we
need
someone
who
is
really
working
with
that
committee,
who
can
just
make
sure
they're
aware
of
what
the
what
the
process
demands.
They
do
not
obviously
Drive
the
committee
but
they're
there
to
support
work
with
them.
So,
as
we
were
working
on
the
report,
they
went
back
to
the
chair
and
worked
with
them
on
what
should
we
highlight
from
your
domain?
U
So
that's
that's
what
we're
thinking
we
will
do
is
we
will
have
that
discussion
figure
out
how
we
want
to
continue
to
support
the
Committees
make
sure
we
still
have
someone
representing
everyone
on
it
and
anything
else
that
that
comes
up,
that
people
have
observed
in
this
five-year
cycle
that
we
need
to
make
sure
to
be
aware
of
in
the
future.
U
We
want
just
want
to
make
sure
we
have
continuity,
but
we're
also
refreshing
the
process,
but
it
will
be
very
similar
to
designing
The,
First,
Five-Year,
Plan
I
think
we'll
have
another
one
of
those
tables
that
says
here
here
is
the
here's,
the
goal:
here's
the
objective:
here's
what
we
see
as
the
time
markers
along
the
way,
so
it
keeps
the
Committees
kind
of
nose
to
the
Grind
is
doing
in
terms
of
making
sure
things
things
continue
to
play
out.
U
Does
that
make
sense?
If
anyone
who
would
like
to
sit
in
on
that
meeting,
you're
very
welcome
to
and
I
I'll
be
scheduling
it
probably
tomorrow,
I'll
send
out
a
message
to
people
to
see
when
they're
able
to
do
it.
R
Can
I
just
add,
go
ahead?
Okay,
I
just
wanted
to
add,
because
Cynthia
was
not
able
to
make
the
previous
meeting,
but
because
of
her
leadership.
Arlington
County
remains
a
member
in
good
standing
of
the
AARP
network
of
age-friendly
states
and
communities.
R
We've
successfully
completed
a
cycle
of
improvement,
recognized
for
age-friendly
leadership,
achievements
and
continuing
commitment
toward
being
a
livable
Community
for
people
of
all
ages,
and
so
just
a
big
shout
out
to
Cynthia
and
the
age
friendly
team
and
task
force
for
helping
Arlington
to
be
more
livable
and
age
friendly
for
all.
Thank
you.
U
That's
great,
thank
you,
I'm
glad
to
see
you
the
cycle
is
we
have
this
year
now
to
refresh
the
plan
and
put
out
the
new
Five-Year
Plan
and
we
would
send
that
to
ARP,
but
I
don't
believe
it's
quite
the
same
approval.
You
know
big
approval
process
because
we
are
now
counted
as
an
age
friendly
community.
So.
A
U
Yeah,
well,
you
think
this
really
helped
the
commission
Focus
its
work
and
we've
just
made
it
so
much
more
concrete,
so
I
hope
that
it
continues
to
be
useful.
That
way.
A
And
I
think
the
first
plan
is
also
a
bit
of
a
learning
curve
for
all
of
us
of
what
you,
what
you
can
choose
to
focus
on
and
expect
not
just
to
have
those
inputs,
but
also
have
some
results
to
share.
Will
your
meeting
in
September
be
virtual
or
in
person
virtual.
I
I
You
know
that
was
launched
in
May,
but
if
not
one
of
the
the
features
of
it
has
a
wish
list,
which
means
that
you
can
start
planning
for
ahead
for
pro
classes
and
programs
that
you
might
want
to
register
for
and
then
notable
is
that
the
alliance
as
far
as
their
internet
access
through
seniors
program
in
total,
has
graduated
60
seniors.
I
Who
has
attended
it's
twice
a
week
6
week
computer
course,
I
just
think
that
is
just
absolutely
Grand
and
of
course,
and
they,
the
alliance
has
been
such
a
partner
with
The
Walking,
school
bus
and
hosting
our
website.
So
that's
all
I
have
to
report.
A
Thank
you,
I
think
it's
a
great
opportunity
for
those
who
do
not
have
a
laptop
I
know
it's
being
used
in
some
of
the
affordable
communities.
So
that's
terrific.
A
O
F
O
Whatnot
and.
A
Well,
I
will
I'll
jump
in
there
and
say
that
we
are
in
need
of
some
new
Commissioners
as
well
as
we
have
some
folks
who
are
cycling
off
and
we
have
some
vacancies,
so
I
think
Helen
sent
out
or
Rachel
an
email
that
can
be
passed
along
to
all
your
networks.
A
I,
don't
know
Andrea
and
Link.
If
you
know
your
communities
as
well
as
others
Wendy,
if
there
are
individuals
who
might
be
interested
but
we'd
certainly
love
to
have
some
new
applicants
approach
and
be
interested
in
in
the
commission.
C
Sure,
thank
you.
I
want
to
I've
been
clicking
back
and
forth
here.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
my
camera
and
me
are
on.
They
are
two
things:
one
FYI
we're
up
to
371
members
with
a
third
of
those
126
being
low
income.
C
So
we've
got
a
regular
pipeline
of
new
members
coming
in
with
a
very
strong
partnership
that
we've
got
with
our
affordable
housing
facilities.
Bringing
in
new
members
and
transportation
is
the
number
one
request,
so
we
are
always
likewise
on
the
lookout
for
volunteer
drivers.
C
So
if
you
know
someone
who
wants
to
you
know
volunteer
with
us,
please
get
them
tell
them
to
get
in
touch
with
us.
The
second
thing
is
I'm
just
going
to
do
a
commercial
for
something
I
think
we
all
know
about,
which
is
the
July
22nd
home
ownership
get
together.
Link
and
I
were
at
a
meeting
about
a
week
ago
in
the
evening
on
this,
it's
open
to
the
public.
C
They
especially
want
those
of
us
representing
older
adults
to
participate
in
this
visioning
and
and
goal
setting
Workshop,
because
the
fear
is
that
older,
adult
perspective
is
not
getting
the
attention
that
it
needs.
So
the
community
workshop
on
home
ownership,
Vision
goals
and
objectives
is
July,
22nd
and
I
just
encourage
people
to
participate.
Rachel
sent
out
a
note
on
this.
We
can
certainly
put
the
link
into
the
chat,
so
people
know
about
it,
but
it's
a
way
to
spend
a
couple
of
hours
on
a
Saturday
morning.
A
I
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
and
I
think
that,
having
that
perspective
is
is
important
again.
Different
options
in
home
ownership
for
older
adults
are
something
that
they
probably
haven't
been
thinking
about.
That
much.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
that
that
recommendation
any
questions
of
Wendy
before
we
move
on.
D
So
my
report
will
be
very
quick
because
the
Commonwealth
Council
meets
on
Wednesday.
So
I'll
have
a
much
Fuller
report
next
time,
but
I
will
tell
you
that
two
things
that
are
going
to
happen
on
Wednesday
the
commission.
The
council
will
adopt
its
legislative
platform
and
I'm
happy
to
say
there
will
be
I
think
a
good
amount
of
crossover
between
the
nvan
platform
and
the
Commonwealth
Council
platform.
So
that's
that's
a
good
thing.
Secondly,
and
we've
heard
so
much
about
Arlington
neighborhood
Village.
D
Today
there
will
be
a
speaker,
Carol
Paquette
at
the
council
meeting
to
report
on
villages
in
Virginia
and
I.
Think
that's
really
an
important
topic
for
the
council
members
to
hear
so.
I'll
look
forward
to
hearing
that
and
we'll
report
to
you
about
that.
Next
time,.
A
Great
any
questions
of
Erica,
okay,
finally,
I
don't
know
who
is
going
to
cover
the
steering
committee
on
older
persons
with
Cheryl
not
being
here,
but
do
we
have
any
reporter
update
on
that
yeah.
B
There
there
is
a
meeting
scheduled
for
Friday
at
10
A.M.
It
will
be
at
lover
run.
The
topic
is
being
finalized
today,
so
the
meeting
notice
should
go
out
this
afternoon,
but
it
will
either
be
on
nvan
or
on
advocacy
for
nursing
home
changes,
so
we're
just
trying
to
bring
heads
together
and
get
that
finalized
and
who's
going
to
speak.
And
then
then
meeting
notice
will
go
out
today.
A
Great.
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
any
questions.
All
right
is
there
any
old
business
anything
we
haven't
covered
that
we
should
have
discussed
today
from
a
prior
meeting.
Okay,
any
new
business.
A
V
Sir,
oh
I'm,
sorry
Linda,
I
I
had
difficulty
pressing
the
the
button
for
the
hand,
but
I
just
have
and
an
announcement,
and
that
is
that
last
Monday,
the
Claritin
Presbyterian
Church,
along
with
the
Arlington
partnership
for
affordable
housing,
sent
out
a
notice
to
neighbors
pretty
much
around
Clarington
Presbyterian
church
and
what
the
church
did
was
to
announce
that
they
have
applied
to
the
Arlington
County
board
for
a
general
land
use
plan,
Amendment
for
the
church
property
and
essentially
what
the
church
wants
to
do
is
they
want
to
have
the
they're
requesting
that
the
land
be
made
eligible
for
apartment
use,
they're
working
with
APAC
to
develop
or
the
goal
is
to
develop
more
affordable
senior
housing
and
they're
they're.
V
Also
looking
at
making
housing,
also
welcoming
for
the
lgbtq
plus
community
they're
going
to
have
a
town
they're
going
to
have
two
Town
meetings
on
this.
V
V
A
No,
you
should
well
I,
think
first
of
all
always
include
Helen
and
Rachel,
and
our
our
chair
of
the
housing
and
Supportive
Services
is
Audrey
kremmer,
so
I
would
encourage
that
Audrey
get
that
information.
I
wonder
what
they're
going
to
do
about
the
child
care
center.
That's
been
there
for
40
years.
V
V
Child
Care
will
be
on
the
first
floor.
Everything
above
it
will
be
affordable,
senior
housing.
A
Wow,
that's
very
interesting.
My
kids
went
to
that
child
care
center
and
they
are
now
36
and
32.
So
that
shows
you
the
longevity
of
that
organization
and
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
it's
it's
going
to
be
preserved.
A
That's
wonderful
and
thank
you
for
that
information.
I
know
that
APPA
welcomes
Partnerships
with
the
church
and
faith
community,
and
this
is
a
really
interesting
and
it'll,
be
it's
in
a
neighborhood
that
has
had
to
deal
with
this
before
with
the
church
of
Clarendon.
So
we'll
see
how
that
goes.
A
Right,
yes,
please,
sir.
That
would
be
great
any
any
other
comments
or
questions
of
Roland.
Any
other
announcements.
A
All
right
well,
have
a
wonderful
August
stay
cool.
We
didn't
even
ask
if
Helen
and
Rachel
about
cooling
centers
for
older
adults.
Do
we
have
worries
about
that
or
is
the
homeless
Community
handling
those
kinds
of
things
I?
Just
wonder
because
it
is
mighty
hot
out
there,
particularly
for
those
who
are
living
on
the
street,
but
we
will
see
you
all
on
September
18th
and
we
will
be
meeting
in
Sequoia.
That's
DHS
and
I
have
a
pleasant
summer,
the
rest
of
your
summer.
