The plan to prepare senior viewpoints on various issues that are related to
city business was accepted as a goal for 2010. Such viewpoints can be held as information
for the city manager and city commission to use as reference when such issues come before
them.
Members of the Senior Advisory Board will bring their individual list of issues to our next
Board meeting. A few things brought up on March 3 included handicapped wheelchair
availability in public buildings, senior parking only locations downtown, left turn lanes at
major intersections,pedestrian safety at street crossings, general confusion related to
information on health care options for seniors, city park amenities specifically for seniors,
and priorities for maintenanceand repair of city streets, as related to senior cautionary

addressed in order of urgency.
