The Advisory Council for the Ventura County Area Agency on Aging
consists of a representative and an alternate from each community in
Ventura County. The representative must be 60 years of age or older.
The VCAAA by -laws have clear guidelines regarding the election process,
whereby the city advertises for candidates and holds an election among
the seniors of the community. City staff duly advertised for interested
candidates and held the election on Monday, May 16, 1994. Two
candidates applied, and a space was also on the ballot for any write in
candidates.
Mike LaRossa was elected by those voting seniors in Moorpark as the
representative to the VCAAA Advisory Council. Morrie Abramson was
selected as alternate, with the second highest number of votes. The by-
laws identify that , in the election process, the applicant with the
highest number of votes is selected as the representative and the one
with the second highest number of votes is automatically elected as the
alternate. The term of office for these two individuals will be two
years, and will expire in May 1996.
In June 1994, Mr. La Rossa and his wife moved from the area due to
health and other personal reasons. Mr. Abramson was automatically moved
to the Representative position, thus necessitating another election to
select an alternate.
The Senior Center staff conducted a special election among the seniors
on July 25, and Mr. Tony Bellasalma was elected as the alternative
representative.
The VCAAA by -laws prescribe that each City Council ratify the election
held in their city and forward the names of elected representatives
and /or alternate representatives to the County.
Ratify the election results from July 25, 1994 for Moorpark's alternate
representative to the Ventura County Area Agency on Aging.
