What's on this agenda

Orange County's advisory board on aging met February 10 at the Passmore Center, a building still being restored after a water event. Quarterly reports for year four of the Master Aging Plan were due on community supports and health services, outdoor spaces and buildings, and housing.

The board also took the FY 2026-27 budget, appointments, and a report on Medicare Part D open enrollment.

Meeting recap

What happened, drawn from the records published after the meeting. Minutes

Orange County's advisory board on aging heard on February 10 that the county's Medicare counseling program saved residents $577,000 and helped more than 840 people during this year's Part D open enrollment. The board also learned the county faces a $21.5 million budget deficit for FY 2026-27, and that aging services, unlike health and public safety, is not a mandated department.

Quarterly reports on the county's Master Aging Plan covered mental health training, a mobile pharmacy event that served 709 people, and accessibility upgrades at county parks. The board took no action on two upcoming board vacancies, one from an expiring term, and encouraged a current guest to apply.
