She stated to establish a Committee <br />does not require a Federal Grant App•lication as we are in the service <br />area of an.established grant. We will be able to qualify for an <br />assistance program in the future. A Commission ori Aging could <br />determine a health maintenance program, social activities in conjunction <br />with other programs, a nutrition program, a ho.t lunch at a center or . <br />sent into homes, education, transportatiori assistance with existing <br />programs9 a general information program, as far as the Committee on <br />Aging would want to go.

He said all subsequent ap.pointments of a coordinator <br />shall be for a term.of two years rather,than one year. He s.tated the reason <br />for that specifically.was that after one year one person isn't dismissed <br />with the changing political tides. He said the initial appointment of a <br />Council member by the Council President to ser.ve on the Committee shall. <br />be for a term expiring December 31, 1983. All subsequent appointments of <br />a Council member shall be for a term of one year. That is in reference <br />to our Charter because all committee appointments are usually for one <br />year.
