A subcommittee or an Ad hoc committee may be formed to research the “Current Concerns” and determine the calendar format. Equity/Community for All Ages: Support Inter-Generational Programs to Improve the Quality of Life for Seniors: Tech Friendly Programs Our survey found that while nearly half of respondents (49%) use the internet for information, a significant number still rely on personal connections. Specifically, 44% get information from family and friends, and 31% rely on word-of-mouth. To bridge this gap, we're partnering with the Youth Advisory Board to host transportation tech sessions. During these sessions, youth volunteers will help seniors add rideshare contacts to their phones, download apps, and learn how to use them. Age Friendly City The City’s Age Friendly City Action Plan 2019-2023 is provided as Attachment C. The renewal process for Redwood City's Age-Friendly designation begins in 2026. City staff, Senior Affairs Commissioners and staff from Fair Oaks Adult Activity Center, will be seeking dedicated Community Leaders to champion the next 3–5-year Age-Friendly Action Plan. With our senior population projected to double, the upcoming action plan will focus on strengthening communication and community building to support seniors as we move into the future. Staff will be meeting with AARP representatives soon to understand the procedures and timeline for this important renewal process. The renewed plan will continue to embrace AARP’s Age-Friendly States and Communities framework, further building an inclusive, engaging, and healthy environment for all Redwood City residents. By focusing on the core principles and valuable resources provided by this initiative, Redwood City aims to continually enhance its age- friendly efforts. Communication and Community Building Transition Program and Evaluation With excitement growing about the new Veterans Memorial Building/Senior Center Building, a key conference topic emerged: How can we make the transition from the old building to the new one a positive and fun experience for seniors, giving them an avenue to express themselves? The successful transition to the new Veterans Memorial Building/Senior Center Building requires a multi- faceted approach that considers logistical, programmatic, and human-centric elements. This plan phases the transition from back in 2018 when initial engagement and planning in 2018 through the physical move and opening, to post-opening assessment and continuous improvement. A key focus is on ensuring comfort, accessibility, recognizing the importance of addressing adaptation challenges. 8.B. - Page 6 of 48 63
