Alliance on Aging presents comprehensive local aging and disability action plan in Salinas

The Greenfield City Council meeting held on July 10, 2025, focused on several key topics, including a presentation on the Local Aging and Disability Action Plan (LADAP) and routine council business.

During the meeting, council members discussed the importance of community engagement and support for older adults and individuals with disabilities. Steve Macias, the executive director of the Alliance on Aging, presented the LADAP, which aims to enhance livability in rural and agricultural areas of Monterey County. The plan is built on eight domains identified by AARP, including housing, transportation, and health services. Macias highlighted the collaborative effort involving 37 organizations and community members, which included surveys and community forums to gather input.

The council also addressed routine matters on the consent calendar, approving items without extensive discussion. Notably, a clarification was made regarding the minutes from the previous meeting about a flag display resolution, ensuring it reflects the intention to present a new resolution for future flag displays.

In conclusion, the meeting underscored the city's commitment to improving resources and services for older adults and individuals with disabilities, while also maintaining routine council operations. The next meeting is scheduled for July 22, 2025, where a council member will be absent due to a family wedding.
