FROM: Christine Adams, Director of Community Service
DATE: May 29, 1996 (Meeting of June 5, 1996)
SUBJECT: Consider Ratification of Ventura County Area Agency on
Aging Area Alternative Representative.
BACKGROUND
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 29, 1996. Two candidates applied, and a space was
also on the ballot for any write in candidates.
Tony Bellasalma 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
1998.
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.
RECOMMENDATION
Ratify the election results from May 29, 1996, local senior
citizen election.
