I'm just interested in being on the Board when a vacancy comes up. 2 of 3 October 4, 2021 Mary Roberts Application to Senior Advisory Board 3 Issues Housing The Advisory Board should network with other agencies to understand the problems facing seniors when it comes to housing such as ability to pay increasing property taxes, upkeep, etc., and for seniors who are unable to meet increasing rents. Ways to address these issues include educating the public to watch for vulnerable seniors living in their neighborhoods, ensuring that specific agencies have the resources they need to address these issues, and bringing senior housing input to the attention of private and public efforts to address housing concerns overall. Transportation Existing senior transportations services are available in the city primarily for medical appointments, education, social services, and employment. Public transportation is also available. However, these services end before nightfall which impacts seniors who have trouble seeing at night and would enjoy an evening out. I would investigate the possibility of getting grant money for night transportation for seniors, allowing them to be more active in the evenings and not be homebound. Integration into Community Seniors are most vulnerable to social isolation due to loss, disability, depression, and other issues. Fort Collins is fortunate to have many opportunities for seniors to engage in activities with others such as the Senior Center and its programs. But a community is much stronger and resilient when it can integrate the experience and wisdom of the elderly with the energy and vision of younger people. I’d look at what similar programs are available or were available before the pandemic and focus on bringing them back and increasing the scope of those activities.

Other (please specify); Wade Troxell the Fort Collins former mayor 2 of 3 I would say the three most important issues facing this board or commission are COVID-19 crisis, affordable housing, social and environmental sustainability. Because local businesses are vital to our Fort Collins community. It's important that we support our local businesses, and cultural resources so they can stay open through the COVID crisis. We also need to focus on housing for all, build houses that first time buyers can afford. It’s also important to address poverty and the homelessness problems in Fort Collins. For our projected growth, we must have water, we must make smart decisions about solid waste, climate and oil and gas development. Finally, we need to improve outreach, inclusion, equity, and action for those who feel marginalized in our Fort Collins community. -1- RESOLUTION 2021-124 OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS MAKING APPOINTMENTS TO THE SENIOR ADVISORY BOARD WHEREAS, due to expiring board member terms, three vacancies will exist on the Senior Advisory Board as of January 1, 2022; and WHEREAS, Councilmembers interviewed candidates for these appointments on December 2, 2021; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires to make appointments to fill these vacancies on the Senior Advisory Board.
