Page 2 <br /> <br />ITEM 4 – Plan Speaker Visits – <br /> <br />Chair Draeger and Commissioner Jones stated that Susan Houston would like to address the Senior <br />Affairs Commission at their October meeting to make a presentation about ’70 Strong’. Commissioner <br />Cooperman stated that 70 Strong is a program similar to the Sequoia Village concept of seniors aging in <br />place, but without a membership fee. <br /> <br />Commissioner Britschgi suggested inviting Wider Circle to speak at the September SAC meeting for an <br />update on their progress. Bruce commented that Wider Circle is doing very well. They are working with <br />San Mateo County Healthcare Agency. They are now starting a 2nd set of groups and have a 2nd session <br />with Casa de Redwood residents. <br /> <br />Commissioner Paley suggested inviting co-chairs Barbara Pierce and Dee Eva to speak to the <br />Commission in November about the sesquicentennial celebration. <br /> <br />ITEM 5 - Commissioners’ Reports <br /> <br />Vice Chair Cooperman reported that she has been in contact with Sue Nicks, who is president of the <br />Redwood Shores Association and will be meeting with her regarding the needs of seniors living in <br />Redwood Shores. The Senior Affairs Commission has met a few times at the Shores in the past. They <br />have invited residents to attend the meetings by advertising in The Pilot, but no one ever came. <br />Commissioner James and Vice Chair Cooperman will arrange another meeting with her to discuss what <br />in particular the Senior Affairs Commission can do for the seniors of Redwood Shores. Bruce contacted <br />Wider Circle about further outreach to senior in Redwood Shores. They will conduct a senior survey on <br />the Redwood City website and advertise in The Pilot. They will also offer cooking, walking, pizza and <br />pinot programs at the Shores. <br /> <br />Vice Chair Cooperman attended the County Elder Abuse Awareness event on June 15th. She also <br />attended the LBGTQ vigil in Redwood City after the Orlando massacre. Assemblyman Mullin and <br />Senator Rich Gordon and many others were present at the very moving event. She attended the <br />Supervisors meeting in July where the decision was made to continue the sales tax, some of which goes <br />to affordable housing rather than put an affordable housing bond measure on the ballot. They also <br />voted to continue the housing inspection program for fire protection in homes and to reallocate funds <br />for healthy homes outreach efforts, which is also related to affordable housing. Pedestrian safety is an <br />issue in the County. As a County commissioner she will poll the Redwood City, Menlo Park and East Palo <br />elected officials about what is being done here to promote pedestrian safety in their jurisdictions. The <br />County will then compile the information to see what they can do to improve situations. <br /> <br />Commissioner James recommended that Vice Chair Cooperman contact the El Camino Real Corridor <br />Advisory Committee regarding the El Camino Real Corridor Plan. Commissioner James offered to <br />contact Jim Harnett on behalf of the Sierra Club’s Sustainable Land Use Committee about transit owned <br />land for sale and much affordable housing will be part of the negotiation between landowners and <br />developers. He was interested to learn that transit is looking towards work force housing. He also <br />attended Art on the Square and was very impressed by all the talent on display by local artists. He
