2022 Annual Plan
Version 1
Consistent with our Mission, the Senior Advisory Board (SAB) assumed responsibility to
serve as advisors to City Council on programs and policies that help older residents live
full and interesting lives, continuing to contribute and participate in our vibrant
community. The Board is involved in a network of various agencies and organizations

groups that deal with issues impacting older residents. The Board’s meeting plans
continued to be impacted in 2021 due to the pandemic.
Our focus throughout the year was to be informed, as well as to update Council and our
city’s seniors regarding issues pertaining to their health, well -being, safety and
