The Senior Affairs Commission is a 15-member advisory board appointed by the Mayor and City Council. The functions of the Commission are to:
- Recommend the role of the City and the Commission in ensuring the provision of services to the elderly;
- Advise the City Council as requested on elderly issues;
- Provide access for citizens' comments on elderly issues
- Assist the City in the identification of programs for the elderly that are needed in the community; and
- Perform other duties assigned by the City Council
The Commission holds regular meetings and committee meetings each month, with the exception of July. Much of the Commission's work is accomplished through the following SAC Committees: Elderly Safety, Budget, Communication & Technology, Housing, Health and Transportation.
