Minutes -City of San Leandro City Council Meeting Apri15,1999 Page 7 Council Member Lothrop commented on the West San Leandro Advisory Committee, noting they have completed most of their work and have set their priorities for the West area, and said that issue will be coming up soon. She acknowledged them for all their hard work. Council Member Lothrop, with regard to the recruitment of Board and Commission members, indicated she had quite a struggle trying to appoint persons because there were so few people who applied. She noted she, personally, went out and talked to people and asked her colleagues for recommendations. Although she understands our need to update the Application, she has concerns that we are not doing our best effort to recruit persons from all parts of the City to participate. She feels more outreach should be done and the community should be more involved in the process. 5. Mayor Young responded to the question regarding a Senior Commission. She noted she has recently met with someone from the County Department of Aging and someone in the community. She said she knows the Rules Committee has been working on the concept of a Seniors' Commission, but she has requested that the City Manager put together a Work Session for the Council involving the County Department of Aging and Katie Knox, who is very involved in Senior issues. She noted there will be money coming from a State Bond Act on Senior issues that will be placed on the ballot - a Senior Bond Act. She further noted that there is money available in the County Department of Aging for, perhaps, a staff person. 6.
