did not see anything scheduled with legislators from the 35th District. Stacey stated
the Rep. Tim Sheldon politely declined and the Rep. Dan Griffey and Rep. Drew
MacEwen never responded. Stacey asked other AAAs if they had heard back, and
they had not. Currently no members of the Council live in the 35th District.
c. Thank You Card – Stacey shared the Council Thank You card. Thanks were
extended to Cristiana for her work on the card.
d. Recruitment Subcommittee – Steve asked if anyone has prospective Council
Members. Charmaine asked if anyone would like to volunteer on the
Subcommittee and if members would want to meet before next the Council
meeting. Barbara volunteered. Stacey explained that the function of the
subcommittee will be to identify what types of demographics and skills the Council
is looking for in a candidate, and to create an outreach plan. Charmaine mentioned
that there is a large retired-military community. Elizabeth volunteered to be part of
the committee. Susan cannot be part of the subcommittee but would like to make
suggestions for Bremerton area outreach. Barbara encouraged her to send an
email to one of the three members. Karol has a prospective candidate and will
send her resume to Barbara. Barbara agreed to be the subcommittee chair. Once,
a date and time has been decided, Charmaine will send a Zoom link to Barbara
and Elizabeth.
e. Stacey received an email from Sen. Rolfes during the meeting. Members will meet
with her on Wednesday.

Chair of the Request for Proposal Subcommittee. Much of January’s meeting
was spent developing subcommittees.
c. 2020-2021 State Council On Aging (SCOA) Meetings – Karol Stevens
• Karol stated that SCOA has not met since November. The Social
Engagement/Isolation Committee met and read evidence-based practice on
robotic pets. Karol attended an event with Aaron Murphy; an architect and
Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist. He made the case for keeping older adults
in their homes. Karol explained that most houses are built with no customer in
mind, and that developers try to maximize space. Council Member Report of
Community Outreach Advocacy
• Linda state that they are working on coffee bingo and trivia at the Village Green.
They are still offering exercise, and chair yoga is popular. They currently
working to build new exercise programs. Steve noted that County
Commissioner Gelder is beginning his “Walk and Talk” at the Village Green and
Linda explained that he lives in the area.
• While spending time with his mother in Chicago, Steve has been putting out
word of vaccine clinics and shares n4a posts online. Kitsap Regional Library
(KRL) has a new Director, Jason Driver. Steve said that KRL doesn’t really
have anything geared towards seniors, but seniors use the library a lot. Steve
is considering reaching out to Mr. Driver once he has settled into his position.
Karol has had the same thought to reach out to library with SCOA. Steve may
look at what types of programs other high population areas have.
• Elizabeth has been thinking about writing a letter to begin outreach. Asked if
anyone has wording or guidance they can share. Stacey stated that the
elevator speech is a good place to start.Attachment 1

7. Aging Services
a. Workforce Status
• Stacey stated that ALTC has brought on two new staff members and is
currently recruiting three case managers. Recruiting has been difficult; there
have been remarkably fewer applicants than there typically are. COVID-19 is
impacting employees; many have children or spouses infected and are working
from home. COVID-19 numbers are very high (over 1,200) Almost 1/10 of the
population is positive. Anticipating the peak in the next two weeks.
• Stacey has been very busy with new service development. In the last 90 days
she has written as many contracts as she typically would in a year.
b. AAA New Services Overview
• Stacey gave an overview of ALTC’s direct and subcontracted services for older
adults. Existing direct services include social check-in phone calls, the
distribution of over 2,000 cloth masks, a Caregiver Newsletter, new technology
for essential workers to work remotely, and the reinstatement of the Senior
Employment Program.
• Direct services to begin in 2022 include the Veteran’s Directed Care Case
Management program, Alzheimer’s Association memory screenings, the
distribution of robotic pets, Family Caregiver support groups, and an upcoming
project with Kitsap Public Health to determine the needs of older adults and
those with disabilities to better support them.
• Existing subcontracted services include home delivered Essential Bundles
containing cleaning supplies, masks, and food; enhanced Senior Nutrition
Programs with Meals on Wheels Kitsap, the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe, and
St. Vincent de Paul; social check-in phone calls through Meals on Wheels
Kitsap; and continued funding for dementia consultation.
• Subcontracted services to begin in 2022 include the development of a Diner’s
Choice model with Meals on Wheels Kitsap that will allow older adults to use
coupons in exchange for meals from local restaurants, expanded legalAttachment 1

services, an Enhanced Fitness program with the YMCA, and expanded
Medicaid waivered services.
• The Council discussed way to distribute information on services. Susan said
there are many little markets in her area, and she has dropped off packets with
flyers and brochures. She explained that her neighborhood is very active with
helping seniors, but it is sometimes difficult to get seniors to accept help or call
Information & Assistance. Karol has had a similar experience and stated that
many people want to avoid the idea of losing independence.
• Stacey informed the Council that a 1/10th of 1% sales tax for affordable housing
has been approved by County Commissioners. Requests for proposal will be
made this time next year. Poulsbo and Bainbridge Island have passed
initiatives for their City programs, so they will not receive funding from this tax.
Stacey asked if any Council Members are interested in joining the 1/10th
Housing Council, if the invitation is extended to the Aging Advisory Council.
Barbara said she would be interested. Karol asked if this will only apply to new
housing or could the promotion of aging in place be included. Steve offered to
find out and let Karol know.
c. Dashboard Report
• The Council reviewed the January Dashboard Report.
d. 2022 Advisory Council Calendar of Events
• The Council reviewed the 2022 Calendar of Events.
• Most Council Members will be joining tomorrow’s planning session and will
join the legislative meetings next week.
