DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
Supervisor Skip Thomson requests that the Board of Supervisors approve the appointment of Roxie Allen to serve on the Senior Coalition, representing District 5, for a 2 year term to expire June 25, 2021.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Roxie Allen has been a long-time Solano County resident, with a 37-year working history with the Solano County Office of Education, from which she retired. Mrs. Allen has worked tirelessly to advocate for retirees and our local seniors. She is a member of the California School Employees Association Retiree Unit, who work to protect the pensions’ and rights of all former classified employees, and California Alliance for Retired Americans.
Mrs. Allen’s dedication and drive to serve in a public service capacity is welcomed. She seeks to be a voice for Seniors, especially those who are “shut in,” with no internet experience or access. She hopes to provide new ideas, support and greater visibility to Seniors.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The costs associated with preparing the agenda item are nominal and included in the department’s FY2018/19 Adopted Budget.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board could choose not to approve the appointment, but this is not recommended as Mrs. Allen, a long-time Solano County resident, is willing to contribute her efforts to advocating for our Seniors.
