Commissioner Mejorado's team won third place in the t-shirtcompetition and sixth place in the team fundraising effort. She also acknowledged the Cops for the Cureteam which included Jim DeLine.

The Chief noted that her first six weeks as Interim Chief have been "fun." She listed several celebrationsincluding Administrative Professionals Day, National Telecommunications Week and Volunteer Week.She also announced Sgt. Dan Zolnai being awarded the Voiture 946 Officer of the Year award (Forty &Eight club). Commissioner Renfrew commended the selection. Sgt. Zolnai was instrumental in thesuccessful Ahh Dee Ahh drug bust.

She announced the upcoming Homerun for HOPE event on May 15. Chief Szymanski has assumed thechair of this worthwhile organization. She also noted the recent Bluelight Players performance honoringOfc. Dean Whitehead who died in the line of duty on May 5, 1985. It was a "great event" showcasingsome very talented young people. The Department will pay tribute to Ofc. Whitehead on May 5.

Chief Szymanski announced the Department's award ceremony to be held May 12. She has reviewedthe list of honorees and is looking forward to a "fantastic" night. She also noted the Seventeenth AnnualState of Michigan Law Enforcement Officers Candlelight Memorial to be held May 3 at the Capitol as wellas a commemorative ceremony to be held at the Ingham County Sheriff's Department on May 11 duringNational Police Week.

The Chief announced that Detective Mark Lewandowski has been successful in obtaining a warrant forthe arrest of a suspect in the August 2009 homicide on Barnes Avenue. She is most proud of Det.Lewandowski and others who worked the case.

She expressed her appreciation to those Board members attending the summit on violence held recentlyat Union Missionary Baptist Church. Some "disturbing" things were said at the summit as well as severalexpressions of support for the Department. Members of the Board discussed the value of open forumsallowing members of the public to be heard, to "blow off steam." Commissioner Kowalk-Thompson notedthat using a summit as a forum for people is a service to officers as they may now experience less pent-up emotions in the course of their patrols. The Chief was commended for her ability and willingness to behonest with the public.

She noted that to have five or six homicides in Lansing this early in the year is "alarming." However, shepointed out, crime overall is down. The Department continues to diligently pursue solutions to thesecrimes and our relationship with community partners remains strong. She plans to relay this message tocommunity leaders in an upcoming correspondence.

Chief Szymanski announced the beginning of the PEACE initiative. Utilizing grant funds, this endeavorwill use a proactive approach to address crime in two "hot spot" areas. Offenders may be offeredalternatives to prosecution through faith-based programs, the Boys and Girls Club and a mentor program.Michigan State University will assist in the program with coordination, monitoring and reporting results.

The Alexander Weiss resource allocation study has also begun. Dr. Weiss will be present at the MayBoard meeting to discuss the study and get feedback. The results of the study are expected by August 1.

The Use of Force / High Risk Area study has concluded and results are expected soon.

The Chief reported that the Department's budget hearing before City Council went fairly well. Sheexpressed her appreciation to Jim DeLine for his "outstanding" work as Budget Control Supervisor. Shenoted the importance of the Board's input in preparing the budget document. Commissioner Carnegie, on


behalf of the budget committee, commented that the LPD leadership did a good job. Jim DeLine pointedout that the budget which the Mayor presented to Council contained no program cuts for the Department,but instead relied on employee concessions and other savings to reach the necessary budget target.Commissioners commented favorably on the presentation to Council, on the FY 2011 budget documentand on Council's support for law enforcement. In answer to questions from the Board, it was pointed outthat reductions in service hours proposed by the administration will impact civilian -employees but notmembers of the Fraternal Order of Police.

Chief Szymanski noted the passing of Rev. Lester Stone as well as concern for the Glover family and theBrown family. Commissioner Sims commended the Chief for visiting these families.

The Chief announced that a tentative agreement has been reached with the non-supervisory unit of theFraternal Order of Police, and an agreement is expected soon with the supervisory unit.

The Chief discussed the $1.9 million in employee concessions expected from the FOP which will bepartially met by leaving vacant several positions opened when officers and supervisors take advantage ofthe City's early retirement incentive. In forming a plan to save money and reduce staff, plans are beinglooked at which would consolidate the precincts and thus require fewer supervisors. Because we plan tohonor present leases, the patrol division would likely operate out of the building on the north side and theinvestigations division would likely operate out of the building on the south side. It is expected that theconsolidation could save as much as $900,000 of the $1.9 million which the administration is counting on.This plan has not yet been formalized nor announced to the public. Input is still being gathered, costs arebeing calculated, and options and challenges are being explored. Board members commended the Chieffor being proactive and "thinking outside the box" regarding the current fiscal challenge being faced by theDepartment.

She also announced that the Mayor has approved the Board's request to utilize the City suite at CooleyLaw School Stadium for the June 15 home game of the Lansing Lugnuts. Commissioner Sims willattempt to allow the Board meeting to be held in the offices of the Lansing Visitors and ConventionBureau even though she will not be able to attend.

Plug-In Hybrid Infrastructur6


Page 3 of 7General Manager J. Peter Lark presented an overview on Plug-In Hybrid Vehicle Infrastructure andthe Board of Water & Light's (BWL) electric vehicle community project. It is anticipated thatGeneral Motor's Volt, a new electric vehicle scheduled for production later this year, will be used inthe project. The BWL is working to assess options to insure that there is adequate infrastructure inplace to handle charging for these vehicles, both at home and in the community. BWL generatingcapability is expected to be able to handle the demand for these vehicles at this time. The BWLwas awarded $750,000 for the project from the Federal Government through support fromRepresentative Schauer and Senators Levin and Stabenhow.

George Stojic, Director of Planning and Strategic Development, stated that the BWL was amongthe utilities that are the leaders in this field. The BWL is in partnership with local communitiesincluding Delta Township, City of Lansing and Lansing Community College to advance the BWL'sElectric Vehicle Project and would like to get Michigan State University involved as well.

Kellee Christensen, Manager of Customer Projects & Development presented a PowerPointpresentation titled "LBWL Electric Vehicle Community Project", that covered major aspects of theproject. The project team includes George Stojic, Angie Ethridge, Kellee Christensen, Ray Moore,Tim Rowden and Chad Taylor.

A copy of the PowerPoint presentation presented is on file and available for viewing in theOffice of the Corporate Secretary.

Moores Park Study

General Manager Lark presented an update to the Board regarding a study of the Moores ParkSteam plant. The study is to assess the condition and needs of the four steam boilers at MooresPark. These units are at least 50 years old and are in need of maintenance and repair. In addition,new air emission regulations may require the Board of Water & Light (BWL) to invest in newenvironmental control equipment for the units. This study will estimate the cost of maintainingsteam production for the four boilers and options for replacing the existing steam boilers.

One option for replacing the existing coal boilers is to use natural gas to fuel a boiler or in acombined cycle natural gas electric generator, which can be used to produce steam for our centralsteam business, as well as electricity. This is important since the three smaller power-generatingunits at Eckert may have to be retired in 2018 to comply with new mercury requirements. Inaddition to the new mercury emissions requirements, there may be new Federal requirements inthe near future to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and all of the language seems to suggest a17% reduction in carbon dioxide

George Stojic, Director of Planning and Strategic Development described the need to study thecosts of maintaining the existing units at Moorse Park and options to replace the units

Mr. Stojic stated that a consultant has been hired to study the options for using a co-generationfacility at Moores Park based on combined cycle units. Natural gas is more expensive than coal,which we have relied on, but in a cogeneration configuration, natural gas costs would be allocatedover a number of products and that makes it much more affordable. He said this study wouldcompare what it would cost the BWL to go to the co-generation type of setting versus what it wouldcost to maintain that facility as it stands.

John, as the Fiduciary for the Homeland Security Grant for R6i .6.is required to purchase certain items. The State of Michigan is requiring us to upgradeour region's security assessments of critical infrastructure. The State wants us to useAegis Bleu's VASST system in a pilot project. To comply with the State's mandate forupgrading our critical infrastructure assessments, Ingham County's Robert Ott has takenon the role of project manager. He has wriiten the attached letter requesting that a sole-source purchase be approved for the VASST service which is provided by Aegis Bleu.The Region highly favors this service primarily because it is a mobile system whichallows great ease of use when going from site to site making the evaluations.

Thank you for your assistance in helping obtain sole-source approval.

RE: Act-3-10, 414 E. Michigan Ave., Private deck on City propertylROW.

Dear Mayor Bernero,

The Planning Board, at its meeting on May 25, 2010, voted unanimously (5-0) to recommendapproval of Act 3-10, a request by 414 E. Michigan, L.L.C. to construct a deck on City propertyand public right-of-way (ROW). This City property is located west of and adjacent to thebuilding at 414 E. Michigan Ave., east of Museum Drive.

The property is comprised of two triangular parcels. The one on the east is adjacent to thebuilding, is held under the Board of Water and Light (LBWL), and contains a large steam pipewhich runs in a N-S direction through the property.

The western property contains an unplatted portion of the Museum Drive ROW, and is held bythe Department of Public Service. The steam pipe runs through the northern portion of thisproperty before extending under Michigan Avenue. The current plans for the deck are to placefootings and decking on City property to support the structure.

This project is similar to the Troppo's deck at Michigan and Washington (Act-8-04) in that it is aprivate improvement over public ROW. It differs from the Troppo's case in that the proposedimprovements are of a smaller scale, and the Museum Drive ROW is acquired real estate, ratherthan a platted right-of-way.

The applicant and the Board of Water and Light have already agreed on a license for the use ofthe LBWL property. The Planning Board found that a similar agreement could be made for theremainder, and that City Council approval is required for both parcels. The Board also foundthat the deck and outdoor seating would contribute to the character of the entertainment district,and that it would be useful in providing barrier-free access to the commercial properties to theeast. Based on these findings, the Board recommended approval of Act-3-1.0 to authorize theconstruction of a deck on the two City parcels.

Please refer this as appropriate to effectuate action on this proposal.

Honorable Mayor Virg BerneroNinth Floor, City HallLansing, MI 48933-1694

RE:

Act-2-10, Sale of Oak Park Field Office

Dear Mayor Bernero:

The Planning Board, at a special meeting held May 25, 2010, voted unanimously (5-0) to recommendapproval of Act-2-10, a request by the City of Lansing to sell the Oak Park Field Office, 717 E. ShiawaseeStreet, to the Neogen Corporation, 620 Lesher Place, in Lansing.

The property is located on the north side of E. Shiawasee Street, south of Oak Park, near two otherNeogen facilities. The property is zoned "A" Residential District (as is the Oak Park parcel), so rezoningwould be required for its proposed private-sector use. It is not dedicated parkland - Lansing's inventoryof dedicated parkland would remain unaffected, and no vote of the people is required for the disposition ofthe property.

On May 25, 2010, the Planning Board reviewed the location, character, and extent of the proposal inaccordance with its Act 33 Review procedures and found that:

1. Neogen is a high-technology company that has a history of rehabbing, retrofitting and locating inolder buildings in established residential areas. They are known for working with neighborhoodsand cooperative problem-solving. The subject property is located near two other Neogenproperties, and acquiring it would be a good fit for Neogen.

2. The Neogen proposal is to acquire, rehab, and reuse the buildings, repave the parking lot, andadd landscaping where appropriate.

3. The City operations housed in the buildings on this property are proposed to be relocated andconsolidated with the Central Garage and Operations & Maintenance equipment. This transferhas already been approved with the City Council adoption of the FY11 Budget.

4. Upon completion of this consolidation, the property will become vacant and unnecessary for Cityoperations.

The Board voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend approval of Act 2-10, and sell the Oak Park FieldOffice as proposed.

Following your review of this matter, please refer this case to City Council for its consideration.

Oak Park NeighborhoodAssociation

Concerned about the "exact description" of the subject property, andabout uncertainty of future ownership.

BACKGROUND:

This is a request by the City of Lansing to sell the Oak Park Field Office, located at 717 E.Shiawassee St., The building has historically been used by the Parks and RecreationDepartment.. Accordingly, the future land use map of the North-East Area Comprehensive Plan1990 designates the use of this site for Parks/Open Space use.

The operations being housed in the building support citywide departmental operations, includingforestry office and storage uses. Tentative plans are to consolidate Parks Department equipmentand related staff operations to the Public Service complex on South and Beech Streets, just eastof S. Cedar.

Although Oak Park lies immediately to the north of the subject property, there are no othercitywide recreational operations located in the immediate vicinity. Correspondingly, this particularsite does not present any significant strategic advantages for recreational operations and itsdesignation on the future land use map for park/open space is primarily due to the designation ofthe Oak Park to the north.

Neogen, which owns the property across Shiawassee as well as the adjoining property to thewest, is seeking this property for business expansion. Their plans are to rehab the two buildingson the site and use them for operations and storage.

ANALYSIS

An Act 33 Review is conducted in accordance with Section 208.08 of the Administration Coderegarding the property disposition policy. When the City purchases, sells or substantially changesthe use of property,.the Planning Board reviews the location, character and extent of the proposalaccording to its Act 33 Review procedures.

LOCATION:The current location of the Oak Park Field Office is due to a business decision to provide a spacefor the storage and repair of Park Department vehicles and equipment. Central Garage, locatedabout a block away just north of the former Oldsmobile Park, handles storage and maintenance ofmany City vehicles, particularly for autos and vans for police and civilian use. Neither location hasat this point the facilities and the staff for the storage and repair Parks vehicles. Public Servicevehicles are stored and maintained in the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) complex on SouthStreet. A consolidation of these operations into the O&M complex is now being evaluated. This


Page 4consolidation, which can be justified from an efficiency standpoint, is also justified by the poorcondition and space limitations of the current facilities.

CHARACTER:An appraisal dated July 5, 2009 points at the obsolescence and dismal condition of the existingfacilities for a finding that the value of the current building and improvements to the property arenegligible.

"The building improvements are occupied by a City department yet minimal maintenance isobserved to the site and outbuildings. They are considered in fair to poor condition throughout theinterior and exterior. Portions of the building have been are in average to fair condition yet verydated with limited renovation or remodeling. The building involves garage service area and basicoffice area for the City department. The two office areas are in average yet dated condition."

"Parking is adequate and available to the west of the building improvements providing asphaltpaving at past its physical life."

Although subject property is zoned "A" SF residential, it is adjacent to, as well as across the streetfrom an HI, Light Industrial district, which accommodates a variety of uses, including commercialand residential development for retail, office and a diverse range of nonresidential uses. Althoughthe existing improvements involve approximately 17,500 square feet of building area, thecondition recognizes minimal contributory value to these improvements. Although theimprovements are obviously physically possible and legally permissible, this condition may notlend the site as economically feasible or maximally utilized."

The visual character of the current facility, with its concrete walls and flat roof, is more similar tothe nearby industrial and commercial properties than to Oak Park or the nearby residential area.Sale of the building, whether for eventual demolition and replacement or for renovation and reuse,would likely result in visual improvements to the property and possible environmental cleanup.

EXTENT:The property for sale is managed by the Parks and Recreation Department, but is not dedicatedparkland. Oak Park itself is dedicated parkland, and contains a City painting operation. Both arelocated to the north across the Genesee Street. Neither Oak Park nor the paint shop are part ofthis transaction.

Other

Subject property may involve contamination and costs involving demolition of the existingimprovements and remediation. Brownfield redevelopment programs, federal and localprograms are available in the assistance of redevelopment of contaminatedproperties. These are most effective in economic development projects when tax incrementfinancing and other economic development tools can come into play.

The property is zoned "A" Residential, but it is surrounded on three sides with "H" Light Industrialzoning. It's zoning and Master Plan designation ("Residential 0-7 du/ac" or "Parks/Open Space",depending on the interpretation of the North-East Area Proposed Land Use map) correspondsmore to those of Oak Park to the north, than to its neighbors to the south and west. With theconsolidation of the maintenance facilities, this association is eliminated, and the most appropriatereuse of this property is more closely related to the light industrial uses to the south.

The Park Board has not yet made a recommendation at this point. Their next meeting isWednesday, June 9, 2010, when they plan to invite substantial input from the public.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends approval of the following finding and recommendation:

Finding:^ The subject property is not dedicated parkland.• The Oak Park Field Office is in poor condition and is functionally obsolete, and the public

purpose will be better served with the sale of the property and the consolidation of thevehicle and equipment repair/storage.

• The sale of the property would allow a knowledge-based Lansing company to "grow inplace", without moving out of the neighborhood or tearing down houses.

• The private reuse of the property would put it back on the tax rolls.• The reuse of the property by Neogen is preferable to the expense of demolishing the

buildings or leaving them vacant.

Recommendation:Approval Act-2-10, the request by the City of Lansing to sell the Oak Park Field Office at 717 E.Shiawassee Street, as proposed, provided:

1. that Planning Board recommendation be forwarded to the Parks Department for inclusionon the next Park Board meeting,

2. Park Board approval of the Act-2-10 proposal.

Bill Rieske, Asst. Planning Mgr.

RE:

Act-2-10, Sale of Oak Park Field Office

Here's a recap of the factors leading to the staff recommendation to sell the property.LocationNeogen is a high-technology company that has a history of rehabbing, retrofitting and locating inolder buildings in established residential areas. They are known for working with neighborhoodsand cooperative problem-solving. The subject property is located near two other Neogenproperties, and acquiring it would be a good fit for Neogen.

The property is zoned "A" Residential District (as is the Oak Park parcel), so rezoning would berequired for its proposed private-sector use.

From the City's viewpoint, the ability to have a "pool" of vehicles and equipment under one roofoffers greater flexibility and eliminates needless bureaucracy. The consolidation would improvethe ability to match equipment that is in working order with available crew members. Thus thecost savings consist of more than just the net sale proceeds minus relocation and remodelingcosts.

Character. The Neogen proposal is to acquire, rehab, and reuse the buildings, repave theparking lot, and add landscaping where appropriate. The impact of proposal is expected to befavorable with the rehab of the facilities. Moreover, the rezoning process will provide moreopportunities to review the neighborhood character, as well as to receive public input.

Extent. The property on which the Field Office is not dedicated parkland - Lansing's inventoryof dedicated parkland would remain unaffected, and no vote of the people is required for thedisposition of the property.

Public PurposeThe Act 33 review is the method used in accordance with Section 208 of the AdministrationCode to determine the public interest in retaining surplus property. In the Agency Referral stageof this review, no agency stepped up and indicated any public purpose for the property.

The City operations housed in the buildings on this property are proposed to be relocated andconsolidated with the Central Garage and Operations & Maintenance equipment under themanagement of the Public Service Department. This transfer has already been approvedwith the City Council adoption of the FY11 Budget.

With the consolidation nearly in progress and no other agency indicating an interest, it'sreasonable to conclude that the public purpose is not served by retaining the building.

Staff recommendation.To recommend approval of Act 2-10, and sell the Oak Park Field Office as proposed.

Public Service:

Transportation:ANALYSIS ,

Section 1282.03(f)(l)-(2) sets forth the criteria which must be used to evaluate a Special Land Usepermit request. The criteria and evaluation are as follows.

1. Is the proposed special land use designed, constructed, operated and maintained in amanner harmonious with the character of adjacent property and the surrounding area?

The proposed church will be harmonious with the surrounding area. The developed area willbe confined to the east half of the site, thereby leaving the remainder of the site vacant oravailable for some other type of development allowable under the "D-1" Professional Officedistrict. Furthermore, the church is a low impact use that will generate minimal traffic andno nuisance factors such as noise, fumes or glare.

2. WM the proposed special land use change the essential character of the surroundingarea?

The proposed church will not change the essential character of the area which is alreadycharacterized by a mix of land uses including high density residential, low density residentialand commercial. In fact, the proposed church appears to be an excellent use of the subjectproperty. The traffic for the site will utilize Edgewood Blvd. which is a minor arterial thatis designed to accommodate a relatively high volume of traffic. Furthermore, since there areno other churches in the area, this proposal will provide a location where residents can walk,rather than having to drive to church. It may also provide other outreach services that willhave a stabilizing influence on the surrounding residential neighborhoods.

No objection. Shall comply with all requirements of the MichiganBuilding Code and all barrier free requirements.

No comment.

No issues.

No comment.

SLU-3-2010

3. Will the proposed special land use interfere with the enjoyment of adjacent property?

The only concern with churches in terms of interfering with the enjoyment of adjacentproperties is the potential conflicts with liquor licenses. By state law, a church has anopportunity to object to all new liquor licenses within 500 feet. In this case, there is alreadya party store in the strip mall to the east at 815 W. Edgewood Blvd. that has a liquor license.The only other property in the area that is zoned and has enough land area for a commercialdevelopment is the property directly south of 815 W. Edgewood Blvd.. Given the land usecomposition in the area, it is highly unlikely that another liquor license establishment wouldchose to locate on this site.

4. Will the proposed special land use represent an improvement to the use or characterof property under consideration and the surrounding area in general, and will the usebe in keeping with the natural environment of the lot?

The use of the building as a church will be in keeping with the natural environment of the lot.The building and parking lot will consume approximately 1 /3 of the site, thereby, leaving themajority of the property in its natural state.

5. Will the proposed special land use be hazardous to adjacent property or involve uses,activities, materials or equipment which are detrimental to the health, safety or welfareof persons or property through the excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, odor,fumes or glare?

The church will not generate any hazardous conditions.

6. Will the proposed specialland use be adequately served by essential public facilities andservices, or is it demonstrated that the person responsible for the proposed special landuse is able to continually provide adequately for the services and facilities deemedessential to the special land use under consideration ?

The subject property is capable of being served by all necessary public services and utilities.The specific details will be addressed during the site plan review process.

7.

Will the proposed special land use place demand on public services and facilities inexcess of current capacity?

The proposed special land use is not expected to increase the demand on public services andfacilities in excess of current capacity. In terms of traffic, W. Edgewood Blvd. is a minorarterial that is designed to accommodate a high volume of traffic.

8. Is the proposed special land use consistent with the intent and purpose of this ZoningCode and the objectives of any currently adopted Comprehensive Plan?

SLU-3-2010 W. Edgewood Boulevard

Page 4

The subject property is zoned "D-1" Professional Office district and is master planned forcommercial land use under the Southwest Area Comprehensive Plan. Since churches arepermitted by special land use permit in commercial districts and in the "D-1" ProfessionalOffice district, the church is considered to be consistent with the intent and purpose of theZoning Code and the Comprehensive Plan. Furthermore, in many respects, churches have asimilar impact on the surrounding area as Òffice' uses, in that passenger parking is the onlyactivity occurring on the site, outside the building.

9.

Will the proposed special land use meet the dimensional requirements of the districtin which the property is located?

The proposed site plan (see attached) demonstrates compliance with all dimensionalrequirements of the Zoning Ordinance. With respect to parking, 1 space for each 3 seats inthe main unit of worship is required. Since the church will have a maximum seating capacityof 170, 57 parking spaces are required. 57 parking spaces are shown on the proposed siteplan. The applicant will be required to provide landscaping in front of the church and parkingarea.

SUMMARY

This is a request by Antioch Full Gospel Baptist Church to construct a church on the vacant propertylocated immediately west of 815 W. Edgewood Boulevard. The subject property is zoned "D-1"Professional Office district. Churches with as sociatedparking are permitted in the "D-1" ProfessionalOffice district, if a Special Land Use permit is approved by the Lansing City Council.

The proposal complies with all of the criteria of Section 1282.03(f)(1)-(9) of the Zoning Code forevaluating Special Land Use permits.

1.

The proposed church is harmonious with the character of adjacent properties and surroundinguses.

2.

Dear City Council,

My name is Pablo Maldonado, owner of Pablo's' Restaurant 311 E. Grand River St.Lansing, MI., and I am writing this letter in support of changing Grand River Ave.(commencing at Oakland St., and ending at Pine St. and W. Grand River Ave.) to CesarE. Chavez Ave. The street will serve to honor a great labor leader, and humanitarian.Cesar E. Chavez humanitarian efforts have reclaimed dignity, fair wages and humanliving conditions for millions of farm workers in America.

Americans, today continue to eat healthier fruits and vegetables because of his efforts toreduce the use of high level toxic pesticides in our food sources that I use daily in myrestaurant. Workers continue to benefit from his efforts to obtain fair wages, decenthousing, and most of all dignity for American Farm workers.

Currently, the following cities in Michigan have a street named after Cesar E. Chavez,Saginaw, Flint, Bay City, Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Pontiac. It would be great also forthe Capital City of Michigan to have a street named after this great AmericanHumanitarian.

Another factor to rename that part of Grand River Avenue, would be a remedy for theconfusion of the street directions (north, east, and west), promote revenue to the businessdistrict and most importantly honor the-memory of Cesar E. Chavez.

Dear City Council Members,

First of all I would like you all to know that I have owned and continue operating mytailoring business for 25 plus year located at 1219 E. Grand River Avenue.

When I first heard of the efforts of a group of people wanting to change the street toCesar E. Chavez Avenue, I was a very displeased.

Well, I started to attend the meetings the group invited me to and realized that Cesar E.Chavez, was a hard working man, who stood up for people rights, that had no voice.Currently, my business is in the location where there has been no effort from the city inrestoring the buildings.

Hopefully, by taking the action of renaming the street after Cesar E. Chavez it will helpmy business and the surrounding businesses to get more acknowledgements being on astreet that means so much to the community.

I have changed my views and have realized it is time for change and I personally think astreet will educate people as it did me. Mr. Chavez was a great humanitarian and also aUS Navel veteran who served our country well and I am a veteran of the US Air force.

To Old Town Business Association,

I would like to meet with you to discuss why I am supporting the street name changefrom E. Grand River to Cesar E. Chavez Street. In my business it has caused a lot ofconfusion, because within a mile radius we have E. Grand River, W. Grand River, N.Grand River and Grand River Ave. and then you also have E. Grand River in EastLansing, in which a lot of my deliveries get sent to the wrong E. Grand River! Bychanging the street name to Cesar E. Chavez Ave. I think it would help our businesses,customers, mailmen, UPS, and utility companies and many others. This would be achange that would be good for all. Mr. Cesar E. Chavez was a great American NavyOfficer, and a great union leader and we are all living a better life today because of him!If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 517-908-0220.

Executive Summary

AAA Response:

The Tri-County Aging Consortium (commonly know as Tri-County Office on Aging or TCOA), the Area Agency onAging (AAA) for Region VI serving Clinton, Eaton and Ingham Counties, is an agency that plans and develops servicesfor senior citizens. The mission of the agency is to promote and preserve the independence and dignity of theaging population. The goals to accomplish this mission include:

- To help older people function as independently as possible;- To advocate for adequate resources and sound public policy;- To develop and support a comprehensive cordinated system of service;- To increase awareness of aging issues and services; and- To provide support to families assisting aging relatives.

Choice is a very important to TCOA in assisting older adults, caregivers and adults with disabilities. TCOA has fourways or systems through which individuals and their families/caregivers can receive assistance. The more traditional isannual contracts; the others are Purchase of Services (POS); self-determination; and services provided directly byTCOA. Most of the Agency's directly provided services are acess serces: information & assistance (I&A), outreach,case coordination, independent living consultation and care management. TCOA provides Nutrition Services throughboth Community and In-Home Program. Program development is also under direct services, and TCOA utilizes thosefunds to generate new initiatives and to improve existing services.

Annual contracts are when funding and service requirements are put out in the community through Request forProposal (RFP). Agencies submitting a proposal respond to cost per unit, number of units, and questions regardinghow the service will be provided. The Advisory Council Proposal Review Committee reads and scores all proposalsand makes funding recommendations to the Tri-County Aging Consortium Administrative Board. The ProposalSelection Criteria has not changed since the FY 2007-2009 Area Plan. Annual contracts are for one year but there is athree year commitment if services are provided as per contract.

TCOA is also manages MI Choice (Home & Community Based Waiver), locally know as Project Choices. Along withthe other access services seniors can move between case coordination, care management and Project Choicesseamlessly. Most in-home services are done through a purchase of service system (POS). This allows more choice,flexibility and access to in-home services and also has a strong quality control component. POS is a clientdirected/choice system where services are provided based on client need and choice. Annual contracts with one ortwo providers limited client choice.

During Fiscal Year 2006 TCOA was chosen as one of four pioneer sites in Michigan to implement a program called theSelf Determination Long Term Care Project. The Self Determination approach provides participants in the MI ChoiceWaiver, a flexible monthly allowance that is based on an individualized budget, allowing them to direct and managetheir own personal assistance services. The service plan and budget are determined through the Person CenteredPlanning and based on need. Participants will be supported to direct the use of funds, hire personal assistants,contract with preferred providers, make home modifications, and select from home care services which best meettheir needs. They will have the option of appointing a representative and being part of a peer support group. TCOA hasbeen committed to giving participants as much choice as possible and this is a natural partnership. A fiscalintermediary is contracted with that pays the direct care worker (DCW) withholding taxes, social security, workerscomp, etc.

As stated most of the services TCOA provides directly are access services; information & access, outreach, casecoordination, independent living consultation and care management. AAA are permitted and encouraged to provideaccess services. The TCOA also provides the Nutrition Program, both congregate and home-delivered meals, as adirect service. In the late 1970's TCOA contracted the Nutrition services but the provider was unable to continue the

program. The City of Lansing, the Ingham County Health Department and the Michigan Office of Services to the Aging(OSA) requested that TCOA take over the program and provide the service directly. Nutrition services are put out forRFP bid, along with all annual contracted services, that coincides with each Three Year Area Plan. No other agencyhas expressed interest in providing the service. TCOA has been successfully providing both congregate andhome-delivered meals in Region 6 since 1976. The local units of government support this regional effort bothphilosophically and financially.

When TCOA relocated offices and the kitchen in 1998, another nutrition service provider was sought. Sparrow HealthSystem did express some interest but eventually decided not to respond to the Request for Proposal to provide theservice. At that time TCOA conducted a capital campaign to fund a new kitchen and community rooms, purchasekitchen equipment and begin an endowment fund. The goal of the campaign was $1.5 million; $1.65 million wasraised. The community also supported TCOA in management of the Nutrition Program. Commitments to annualcontractors are given for a three-year cycle to coincide with the Annual Plan. Every three years a Request forProposals (RFP) goes out for bid for all annual contractor funds including all the nutrition funding. No one hasapproached TCOA with interest in submitting a RFP for the nutrition funds. If there was interest and a competitivebid, the Michigan Office of Services to the Aging would be responsible for selecting a nutrition provider.

The Area Agencies on Aging, under leadership and direction of the Michigan Office of Services to the Aging (OSA),Area Agency on Aging Association of Michigan (4AM) and the National Area Agency on Aging Association (N4A);carries out a wide range of functions related to advocacy, planning, coordination, inter-agency linkages, resource andprogram development, information sharing, monitoring and evaluation; designed to lead to the development ofcomprehensive and coordinated systems in, or serving each community in the planning and service area. Thesesystems are planned to assist older persons in leading independent, meaningful and dignified lives in their own homesand communities as long as possible.

Another initiative/philosophy during FY 2007 for TCOA was Person-Centered Thinking. In the past, Medicaid or otherregulatory standards have governed the process of developing care plans for persons requiring long-term care. ThePerson-Centered Thinking philosophy recognizes that all participants are unique individuals with needs, wants, goalsand dreams. Most people want the same things from life: an interesting and meaningful daily life, close relationshipswith others, opportunities to socialize and enjoy recreation, opportunities to develop talents and abilities, to be a part ofand contribute to the community, and feel valued and important. The Person-Centered Approach was designed toencourage people working with individuals in Long-Term Care (LTC) situations to view the individual's needs throughtheir eyes and to honor their preferences, choices and abilities. Project Choices has completed training of all staff. Forall Waiver, Care Management and Case Coordination clients, Person-Centered Thinking is being used with Waiverclients having Person-Centered Plan completed.

In FY 2007 TCOA was selected by the Michigan Office of Services to the Aging (OSA) to participate in a NursingHome Diversion (NHD) grant beginning FY 2008 through mid FY 2010. An Independent Living Consultant (CommunityLiving Specialist/LS) was hired, who was previously a Care Manager with Project Choices. TCOA put this position ofCLS as Region Service Definition into the FY 2010-2012 Area Plan continuing the service Federal and/or State funds.This grant allows TCOA:

To target those at risk for nursing home placement and spending down to MedicaidEmploying person-centered planning and self determination into Older American and Older Michiganian Act

ProgramsFlexible spending creative ways to use Federal and State funding to assist these individuals will also be

explored.

TCOA continues to enjoy a strong presence in the community. Over the years accomplishments include a formalcooperative regional working relationship through the Charter of the through the Tri-County Aging Consortium. Themembership includes Clinton, Eaton and Ingham counties and the cities of Lansing and East Lansing with electedofficials or their appointee from those units of government serving as Administrative Board members. Otheraccomplishments include a local Chapter of the National Caucus and Center on Black Aged; Medicaid Waiver pilotproject, State of Michigan;; providing Meals-On-Wheels and Dining Sites throughout all the service area with a

volunteer network over 1,800 strong; local fund raising efforts that allocates over $138,000 to in-home services;original and ongoing member of each county Human Service Collaborative; leader in organizing Christmas in Aprilnow know as Rebuilding Together, which assists low-income seniors with minor home repair and home maintenanceand participation on the Advisory Boards/Councils of the local transit systems, which provides needed transportation toarea seniors.

For several years, TCOA has been involved with long-term care issues. In 1990 TCOA began a local Long-Term Care(LTC) Collaborative. This has brought interested parties together including nursing homes, Departments of HumanServices (DHS), Community Mental Health, Lansing Community College (LCC), Capital Area Center for IndependentLiving, local hospitals and public health. One of the main focus areas has been the direct care workforce. TheCollaborative developed a survey for the direct care workforce and their employers. In 2005 the Collaborativepublished the "A Labor of Love, Assessing the Status of the Direct Care Workforce". The report examined andcompared views on recruitment, training and retention of both the workers and their employers. The report has beenutilized by LTC providers.

The TCOA Executive Director has served on many of the committees for the Governor's Long-Term CareTaskforce. The report was issued with recommendations how the long-term care system should shape in Michigan.

TCOA partnered with the MI Department of Community Health (DCH) in establishing the Michigan Quality CommunityCare Council (MQC3), a statewide organization. TCOA's Executive Director sits on the Administrative Board of theCouncil. The Council has established a registry of home help workers; conducting criminal background checks andtraining for both the worker and client. Plans for other supports to be provided to workers such as assistance withchildcare, transportation and health care are being look at. In the future there are plans for MI Choice and eventuallythe general public to utilize the MQC3.

In conjunction with the Capital Area United Way (CAUW) and other community agencies, TCOA continues to link witharea faith communities through Poor at Y our Door. There are annual one-day conferences for faith communities. Themost recent was October 2009. A May 2009 breakfast was held for area faith leaders to find out what should be thefocus of this years event. And also to outreach to faith communities that have not been attending the previous Poor atYour Door conferences.

The TCOA has a commitment to no waiting list for Meals-On-Wheels (MOW) and for another year this is beingaccomplished. Through a very strong network of volunteers, local funding and fundraising activities TCOA is able toprovide noon meals to all those who qualify for MOW. Occasionally an individual needs to wait until a spot is openon a particular route but this is never more than a couple of weeks. If there is a short wait frozen meals can beprovided. Because of funding cuts at the state level and increased need for MOW the program is following targetguidelines more closely: lower income, high medical need, inability to prepare own food. During FY 2010 or in 2011a more extensive waiting list may is expected for MOW.

Another success of the TCOA MOW program is the availability of meals for special diets meals. All meals arelow sodium. Special diets for chronic illness include low fat, diabetic and mechanically adjusted. There is also anoptional meal for individuals to choose. Each week an optional meal is listed and for that week a client can select thatfor one or more days. Fish or pork is never the optional meal.

The Senior Dine Card is being used within the service area through congregate meals, locally known as SeniorDining. Seniors who qualify for the card; those who have low incomes, are at nutritional risk and are socially isolated,can dine at nine local area restaurants. Most of the restaurants are where there are no Dining Sites and are located inmore rural areas. The program is being evaluated on a regular basis. The participants are very pleased with therestaurants and ease of using an electronic swipe card.

The TCOA has worked with AARP volunteers to provide tax assistance to seniors in this service area. TCOAprovides the space for training, meals for the volunteers, space for tax preparation, coping, mailing, computer links,public information, scheduling for appointment, and any thing else that is needed. The program targets seniors with

lower incomes.

Since TCOA was established in 1974 Information and Assistance (I&A) has been and is a vital service. TCOAprovides funding for an I&A site in rural Ingham, Clinton & Eaton Counties through an annual contractor (Capital AreaCommunity Services, CACS); and a Spanish Speaking I&A site at Cristo Rey Community Center in Lansing. TCOAalso provides I&A, caregiver I&A, and Outreach directly with local and Federal funds. The Medicare/MedicaidAssistance Program (MMAP) is housed at TCOA. The I&A annual contractor, CACS, also provides MMAPconsultation and advocacy.

Another important Access Services TCOA provides directly is Outreach. This half time staff position, in FY2009 reached 1,675 individuals who were either older adults, family members, friends or concerned neighbors andcommunity members. They were given information on services for seniors and persons with disabilities in thecommunity. There were 35 presentations made to community groups and 20 health fairs. The staff person at TCOAworks with Rebuilding Together and in 2009, 25 homes of older adults were refurbished through the program. CrisisServices for the Elderly volunteers are also coordinated through Outreach. This program had 8,760 hours of volunteertime and assisted 329 older adults during FY 2009.

TCOA has worked with the community to assure that there is a continuum of respite for caregivers and theirloved one. There are two volunteer respite programs that served 43 families for a total of 2,244 hours with fundingthrough TCOA in FY 2009. The base funding for these programs allow them to seek other local funds and providerespite to many more families than is reflected in these numbers.

There are also two adult-day care (ADC) programs in the service area that have annual contracts and provideservice through DPOS. There were a total of 50 caregivers and older adults assisted though 9,658 hours of ADC aform of respite. Because of cost-sharing more families are serviced. Other local funding and private pay helpadditional families take advantage of this ADC.

The following chart gives a summary of type of service, clients, and units. Homemaker, In-Home Respite andPersonal Care are provided through a direct purchase of services (DPOS) system with most of the area home healthcare agencies in the pool of providers. Kinship Care Respite also takes advantage of DPOS. The TCOA Outreachstaff person works mostly with grandparents in identifing an activity, camp, day care, etc. that will provide respite andgive the child something fun and interesting to do. These providers are then added to the DPOS pool. Cost-sharing isused for services but because the families have lower incomes few funds generated for additional services.

Project Choices provides access services through Case Coordination & Support, Care Management and theMiChoice Home & Community Based Waiver. All three services work with eligible older adults and MiChoice withyounger adults who qualify. TCOA is working to provide a seamless system for the adults and caregivers. Each caremanager assists individuals in each of the three programs. When an individual becomes eligible for one of the otherservices the change can easily be made.

Jane Braatz, Health for Life Consulting (HFL), thankded TCOA for supporting fitness for older adults and medicationeducation. Ms Braatz stated, "Too often we try to treat with pills, surgery and medical treatments what could havebeen prevented in the first place through self-managment skills. 70% of cancers are linked to life-style choices whichinclude the lack of physical activities, poor nutrition, smoking and alochol consumption". Summary results from 76surveys of participants are as follows: 76% improved flexibility; 64% increased strenght; 68% better balance; 62%more energy and 88% feel better; What participants liked about the programs included: gets me mout and movinginstead of sitting at home; everything, I'm on a walker and cane and it keeps my limbs working, and others.

Available Resources & Partnerships

AAA Response:

The TCOA is also the Tri-County Aging Consortium comprised of Clinton, Eaton and Ingham counties; and thecities of Lansing and East Lansing. There is no senior millage in Region 6. Each consortium member contributesfunds based on the portion of the sixty and older population in their area. These funds are used for administration ofthe agency. These municipalities also contribute to Meals-On-Wheels, again based on population. The partnershipwith these units of government is beneficial in many ways. First, the County Commissions and City Councils have theresponsibility of oversight of agency operations through appointments to the Administrative Board. The Board is keptabreast of issues relating to seniors and long-term care. The Consortium members also appoint seniors from theirjurisdictions to sit on the TCOA Advisory Council. The Administrative Board appoints agency representatives that siton the Advisory Council. This group is also kept informed of issues and often advocates on behalf of seniors.

The TCOA fundraisers help support in-home services. The Friends For Life (FFL) Coordinating Council is thefundraising arm of the agency and oversees all fundraising activities. Membership on the Council consists of areabusiness and community leaders and a liaison from the Administrative Board. There are also two committees, Golfand Auction that meet on a monthly basis to plan the events. Many other individuals and businesses contribute insupport of in-home services. For Fiscal Year 2008, $1405,500 was allocated for services as a result of thepartnerships established in the community.

Each county in the services area has a Human Services Collaboration that TCOA participates in. Otherparticipating agencies include, but are not limited to, Department of Human Services (DHS), Community MentalHealth, Public Health, County Extension Offices, Capital Area Community Services, Capital Area United Way, andlocal units of governments. The intent of these alliances is to plan and improve human services for each county. Thisis done through information sharing, joint projects, partnerships in grant applications, etc.

TCOA is spearheading the Tri-County Long Term Care Collaborative. The purpose of this group is to enhance thedelivery of long-term care by:

•improving both the efficiency and the quality of long term care•increasing consumer choice of long term care options•improving public information about long term care•improving access to long term care

Agencies who have formally become members of this Collaborative include Community Mental Health, DHS,Center for Independent Living, Ingham County Medical Care Facility, Lansing Community College, Sparrow HealthSystem, Paraprofessional Healthcare Institute and home health care agencies. The LTC Collaborative has formallymoved to support the region pursuing a Aging & Disability Resource Center and will be working on that effort during FY2011 & 2012.

At a statewide level TCOA is a member of the Long Term Care Coalition. This group was formed to advocate theMI Choice program. Other Coalition members include Area Agencies on Aging, public health departments, mentalhealth agencies, private individuals, colleges and universities. The TCOA Executive Director has been activelyinvolved in various committees at the state level and will continue to do so. These committees have included theMichigan AARP Long Term Care Stakeholder Workgroup and the various State's LTC Taskforce Sub Committees.Their goal is to develop and advocate for state long-term care policies that provide choice and options to potentialrecipients.

The entire geographic area of region 6 that includes Clinton, Eaton and Ingham Counties. The TCOA providescongregate and home-delivered meals directly per a waiver from OSA. In 1976 when the nutrition provider was unableto meet the goals the Ingham County Health Department and OSA asked TCOA to take over the program. TheAdministrative Board and Advisory Council have been committed to the Nutrition Program since then. There are nowaiting lists for Meals-On-Wheels (MOW) except for an occasional situation where for a short time a volunteer route infull, usually not more than a few weeks. In those situations a week's supply of frozen meals is offered. Through a verystrong network of volunteers, local funding and fundraising activities TCOA is able to provide noon meals to all thosewho qualify for MOW.

Another success of the TCOA MOW program is the availability of special diets. All meals are low salt.Special diets for chronic illnesses include low fat, diabetic and mechanically adjusted. There is also an optional mealfor individuals to choose. Each week an optional meal is listed and for that week a client can select that for one ormore days. Fish, pork or chicken is never the optional meal when that entree is on the menu for that week.

There are 28 Senior Dining Sites in Region 6. These are provided through partnerships with schools,townships, senior centers, faith communities, senior apartment complexes and parks and recreation departments.The numbers of older adults participating in Dining Sites have decreased since the beginning of that service provisionin 1976 but have plateaued in the last few years.

The Senior Dine Card is being used within the service area through congregate meals, locally known asSenior Dining. Seniors who qualify for the card; those who have low incomes, are at nutritional risk and are sociallyisolated, can dine at eight local area restaurants. Most of the restaurants are where there are no Dining Sites and arelocated in more rural areas. The program is being evaluated on a regular basis. The participants are very pleasedwith the restaurants and ease swiping a card.

2. Persons centered thinking/self determination.

AAA Response:

Person Centered Thinking/Self Determination

The TCOA has long been committed to listening to consumers and valuing their expressed needs and desires. In2005 TCOA was designated a Pioneer partner with MDCH Office of Long Term Care Supports and Services todevelop self-determination. This model of service provision is consumers hiring, training and supervising their directcare workers (DCV . During this period trainings on person centered thinking (PCT) were provided. All TCOA ProjectChoices' staff and many others from the agency participated. The grant ended in March 2008.

The Tri-County Office on Aging embraces the philosophy of Person-Centered Thinking. In the past, Medicaid or otherregulatory standards have governed the process of developing care plans for persons requiring long-term care. ThePerson-Centered Thinking philosophy recognizes that all participants are unique individuals with needs, wants, goalsand dreams. Most people want the same things from life - an interesting and meaningful daily life; close relationshipswith others; opportunities to socialize and enjoy recreation, opportunities to develop talents and abilities; to be a part ofand contribute to the community and feel valued and important. The Person-Centered Approach was designed toencourage people working with individuals in Long-Term Care situations to view the individual's needs through theireyes and to honor their preferences, choices and abilities. The benefits of the Person-Centered Approach include:

Gathering together a group of committed allies who support youA focus on what an individual can do, not what they can't doAdditional choices for our MI Choice/Project Choices participants -

Traditional service delivery or Self DeterminationAs the Person-Centered approach continues and builds on the strengths of our system health and safety are still

top priorities. Also family involvement is essential. Although person-centered services are a new way of thinking it willbe achieved within existing resources. It will not require new appropriations nor will it require a reduction in servicesnow being provided. Person Center Services will not resolve all the difficulties an individual may face but it providesnew tools and processes for achieving the results an individual and their family want.

PCT language stating TCOA's commitment has been included in agency brochures, on the TCOA's web-site, andincluded in outreach presentations. The Advisory Council and Administrative Board have also been providedinformation on PCT. TCOA's partnership with OSA through the Nursing Home Diversion (NHD) grant providedadditional PCT training to Care Managers and initial training to other TCOA staff including Meals-On-Wheels,Information & Assistance (I&A), Outreach/Grants Manager and Administrative staff. TCOA's annual contractors;including I&A, legal, Long-Term Care Ombudsman; also participated in PCT training through this NHD.

3. Building regional capacity for services that are currently done under a waiver by the area agency.

AAA Response:

3. Building regional capacity

Over 2o years ago TCOA went to a system of Direct Purchase of Service (DPOS), working with Project Choices,as opposed to the more traditional model of annual contracts to provide in-home services. Instead of one agency thatprovided personal care, homemaker or in-home respite now there is a pool of 40 agencies a consumer can receiveservices. This allows for more choice for an individual as to agency and direct care provider as well as day and time ofservice.

Another area of regional development is volunteer respite. Approximately 20 years ago TCOA staff worked with alocal advocacy group to increase respite and respite options in the community. The Dioceses of Lansing received aBrookdale grant to start volunteer respite programs in a nine county area, locally called Capital Area Interfaith Respite(CAIR). Staff was directly involved in developing the model and all faith communities were asked to participate. Asthe grant ended St. Vincent/Catholic Social Services housed the program and they wrote for a TCOA annual grant andwere funded. The program still is in the community but now part of RSVP and matches volunteers with families thatneed the assistance.

Since 1977, when the Michigan Office of Services to the Aging and Ingham County approached Tri-County Officeon Aging (TCOA) to provide directly the Nutrition Program, this agency has made providing meals to every senior inneed of this service high priority. TCOA began administration of the service when only Congregate Meals wereprovided in the City of Lansing with five seniors having meals delivered to their home by staff. Now the NutritionProgram has 27 Senior Dining Sites located throughout Clinton, Eaton and Ingham Counties. The Meals-On-Wheelsprogram is able to deliver meals anywhere in the three counties to older adults needing the service.

Over the years TCOA has advertised, and will continue to do so, the availability of the nutrition funds in thenewspaper along with the other request for proposal dollars. No agency or individual has ever submitted a proposal.A couple of times an organization has requested to review the minimum standards but never pursued it further. Priorto the beginning of the capital campaign in 1997 and 1998 to raise local funds to build a new kitchen another potentialcontractor was solicited but there was no interest.

The community has supported TCOA's Nutrition Program for all these years. There are over 1,800 volunteerswho provide hundreds of hours in helping MOW and/or the Senior Dining Sites to provide meals seniors and help keepcosts down. Often volunteers are committed to an organization; any major change could jeopardize this resource.Local businesses, churches, public transportation, counties and cities work together and see that all seniors in need ofa meal receive one. The Tri-County Aging Consortium Administrative Board is also committed to having the agencyprovide the meals directly. There is trust and a common mission between these individuals, organizations and TCOA.

Advocacy Strategy

AAA Response:

The Tri-County Office on Aging (TCOA) advocates for seniors and persons with disabilities to help assurethat they can live as independently as possible. The second goal of the mission statement, which is to promote andpreserve the independence and dignity of the aging population, is to advocate for adequate resources and soundpublic policy.

Advocacy is done on the National, State and local levels. TCOA's membership in the Michigan Association ofArea Agencies on Aging (M4A) and the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (N4A) provides timelyinformation on the important issues and bills being discussed and voted on in the National and State legislatures.Through the M4A TCOA has participated and plans to continue efforts to promote, reopen and maintain if not expandthe MI Choice program, locally know as Project Choices, in Region 6 and state-wide. Many agencies, programs andindividuals in Region 6 are also on the statewide coalition in support of MI Choice.

The TCOA Advisory Council appoints three representatives to sit on the Michigan Senior Advocates Council(MSAC). The MSAC representatives report back to the Advisory Council at their monthly meetings on proposedlegislation and issues being worked on. The Advisory Council's opinion is also sought and at times a resolution sent insupport of an issue. Typical concerns of this group are health coverage (Medicare & Medicaid), income (SocialSecurity, Supplemental Security Income and pension security) and public utility costs and regulation. Two local seniorsalso are representatives to the Michigan Office of Service to the Aging Advisory Council. Local State Advisory Councilmembers attend the Advisory Council meetings and share information.

The TCOA Executive Director is a member of the M4A Steering Committee that planned the first OlderMichiganian's Day in June 2008; and is working on the event again for June 24, 2009. The event is held on theMichigan Capital lawn with elected officials speaking. In 2008 TCOA had 24 older adults from the region attend andwith MSAC members visited local elected officials to seek support for the advocacy platform with the two strategies:support long term living and care options and promote livable communities for all ages.

When the TCOA Advisory Council membership has a concern they seek out more information and may support anissue through a resolution or write a letter expressing their opinion. This information is then shared with theappropriate individual(s) or organizations. Periodically information on how to advocate as an individual is provided,which includes tips on advocacy and names and addresses of National and State elected officials. The AdvisoryCouncil membership is encouraged to personally express their ideas and to encourage other groups they are involvedwith to do the same.

During FY 2010 the TCOA Advisory Council membership being concerned about State budget cuts to in-homeservices (including Meals-On-Wheels), volunteer services and congregate meals formed a Advocacy Committee to letolder persons and the community know how State budget cuts are effected services and to encourage additionalrevenue. The Advisory Council members have presented information to a few senior centers but plans on having aspeakers bureau to broaden prsentations. As a result of some of their efforts there has been petititions and letterssent to State elected officials and promoted individual advocacy by older persons. Seniors are encouraged to letelected officials know their opinion on an issue with tips on advocacy and how to contact elected officials with names,e-mail addresses and phone numbers provided. The

Tri-County Aging Consortium Board is kept informed of National and State issues and also expressestheir concern or support on issues. Because they are all elected officials or their appointees, these individuals areadvocates at their respective unit of government in support of older adults.

Community Focal Points

Describe the rationale and method used to assess the ability to be a community focal point, including the definition ofcommunity.Explain the process by which community focal points are selected.

The rationale for the selection of the community focal points is to have a central place and/or cultural center withineach community where seniors go or identify as a place to access or find out about services. Also, each identifiedfocal point has a paid staff person who has responsibility to work with seniors.

The Tri-County Office on Aging defines a community as a specific geographical location where persons live withina larger society and share a common interest; or a group of persons sharing a common cultural background. In thetri-county area, those living in a designated geographical boundary within an area will be identified as living in the samecommunity. For example, an older person living within the geographical boundaries of St. Johns in Clinton County willshare the same community and identify with the Information and Assistance (I&A) offices as well as the Clinton CountySenior Citizens Drop-In Center in St. Johns. A cultural center in the community where persons of similar heritagecongregate and/or access services is also identified as a focal point.

The Tri-County Aging Consortium Administrative Board is made up of County Commissioners from Clinton (2),Eaton (3) and Ingham (3) Counties and Lansing (4) and East Lansing (1) City Council members or their designee (SeeAppendix B). Also, the aforementioned local units of government appoint the senior members of the Advisory Counciland this Board approves agency representatives. The Administrative Board is charged with the responsibility ofoverseeing the functions of the Tri-County Office on Aging and is responsible for all phases of the Area Plan. Thisincludes the identification of Community Focal Points in the region. The Advisory Council reviews documents andmakes recommendations to the Board.

With the consensus of the Administrative Board, Advisory Council, senior citizens and Tri-County Office on Agingstaff, community focal points are to be identified as the I&A Offices (senior citizens offices) senior centers in eachcounty, and TCOA. The senior community identifies their local senior centers, senior citizens offices and/orcommunity centers as a place to go to receive information and/or services for senior citizens in their respectivecommunities. In the tri-county area, there are two focal points identified in Clinton County; five in Eaton County; threein Ingham County other than the cities of Lansing and East Lansing; and three in the City of Lansing and one in theCity of East Lansing.

In addition to the I&A Offices located in each county and Tri-County Office on Aging, several senior/communitycenters are identified as focal points. The seniors in the community meet at senior/community centers for variousreasons and identify them as a place to go if they need additional services and/or information about senior citizenresources. The agency is particularly sensitive to the needs of minorities in the community and identified three centerswhere the majority of participants are from minority ethnic/cultural backgrounds. For those focal points, the definitionis an ethnic/cultural boundary where persons sharing similar cultural backgrounds gather.

The rationale used for defining a community is based on the input from staff and senior citizens in the region. Interms of identifying a community, staff has taken into consideration certain factors such as geographical area; wherepeople go to buy groceries, shop for clothing, receive medical care and attend religious services; and where seniors goto ask for information/assistance. Also, community includes where seniors of a specific ethnic/cultural backgroundgather and/or go to receive information/assistance.

Provide the following information for each focal point within the PSA. List all designated community focal points withname, address, telephone number, website, and contact person. This list should also include the services offered,geographic areas served and the approximate number of older persons in those areas. List your Community FocalPoints in this format

AAA Response:

TCOA in partnership with the region's Long Term Care (LTC) Collaborative formally voted to develop an Aging &Disability Resource Center locally. The LTC Collaborative was formed in 1999 with membership including TCOA,Capital Area CIL, CEI Community Mental Health, Sparrow Specialty Hospital, Ingham County Medical Care Facility,Lansing Community College, Ingham County Health Department, Department of Human Services, home health careagencies, and MI Peer Review Organization (MPRO). This body keeps the membership informed of activity in the areaof LTC and works on special projects. In past years there were Video Fests held so agencies/ organization couldpreview available videos to use for training purposes. "Labor of Love' a survey of direct care workers and home healthcare agencies as conducted and used to education agencies and policy makers on the views of DCW and to look atsimilarities and differences between the responses of the DCW and agencies. The LTC Collaborative also worked onthe Single Point of Entry grant with the TCOA with plans to co-locate some staff possibility at Community Mental Health,Department of Community Health and CACIL.

MMAPIf your Agency is a MMAP agency, provide an overview of your program, including numbers of persons served,volunteer recruitment and innovative ways of getting the information to residents.

AAA Response:

The Medicare/Medicaid Assistance program (MMAP) provides a free health benefits counseling service toMedicare beneficiaries, those who are 65 years of age or older and those who are Medicare beneficiaries due to adisability, and their families. MMAP provides timely, objective and accurate information as well as support to Michiganbeneficiaries so they can make informed decisions about their health care. Information and assistance is provided inthe areas of Medicare, Medicaid, Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage, Medicare Advantage plans (Health plans),Medicare supplemental insurance, Medicare Savings Programs, identify and report Medicare and Medicaidfraud/abuse, or scams and explore long term care insurance options.

MMAP counselors are not connected with any insurance company and they are not licensed to sell insurance. TheMMAP program in the Tri-County area has served to date 2,627 clients in this fiscal year (04/01/2009- 03/31/2010).Outreach and volunteer recruitment/management are two important aspects of this program. Advertisements, such astelevision, radio, printed materials and flyers, outreach at health fairs, group presentations to the public and outsideagencies and word of mouth are our biggest forms of outreach.

TCOA has made formal links with Capital Area Community Services through their annual contract to provideInformation & Assistance that includes MMAP activities. There are also signed agreements between TCOA and theCapital Area Center for Independent Living and Bethlehem Temple Church to conduct MIPPA enrollments. There arecurrently 12 MMAP Counselors in Clinton, Eaton and Ingham counties.

Dear City Councilmembers:

I understand you have an item on the Council Agenda, the proposed OrdinanceAmendment, this week on June 7th that I feel I must respond to.

My daughter is one of the retiree's that would be affected if this passes. As the pensionis more than a Councilmember receives from a part time position I am sure a retireewould have to look long and hard if they decided to run for election. But I also feel thatshould be their right.

Suzanne's father had served for over 50 years in various elected positions. The Citycouldn't have honored him in a greater way than when they named a park in his honor in2003. Harold's children Suzanne and Pam played in this park, now their fathers name isetched on the park fence.

When you take your first steps with your dad up the steps of City Hall, it is a keeper.Please keep the dream alive.

Thanks for your help.

Sincerely,

Marjorie A. Moore

A few months before his deathin 2001, civic leader Harold Moorelooked out the window beyondhis back yard and into Filley Parkwith a twinkle in his eye.

"Wouldn't it be nice if one daythey name that park after youHarold?" his wife,Marjorie Moore,said she asked asshe stood nearby.He replied, shesaid, "'It would benice, but it's onlyw i s h f u lthinking."

On Wednes-day, the city of Lansing madeMoore's wish come true, namingthe park after him in a ceremo-ny that honored his dedication,hard work and commitment tothe community.

"It's overwhelming," MarjorieMoore said. "It feels wonderful.He dearly loved this park."

The Moores lived behind thepark for more than 50 years. Thededi.c tion ceremony, completewith the Boy Scouts of Americaand members of the Veterans ofForeign Wars, Post 701 Honor

Guard, was held at the 2-acrepark. About 150 family, friendsand city officials attended theceremony.

Moore was a councilman andcommunity leader in Lansing for50 years. He served the 1st and4th wards, as councilman at large

and as a mayor pro tern.He also served on the Lansing

Board of Education and was onthe founding board of LansingCommunity College.

He's also known for his dedi-cated work with people with de-velopmental disabilities.

The Moore Living Centers onJolly Road, founded in 1971, wasnamed after Harold and MarjorieMoore for their dedication to im-proving the lives of people withdevelopmental disabilities.

Moore was 78 when he died.His friends describe him as a hard-

Lansing Mayor Tony Bena-vides knew Moore for more than30 years.

"He didn't hold back whenthere was a concern or whensomething needed to be done,"Benavides said. "He was alwaysinvolved in the community."

The park sits on the edge ofFilley Street near St. ThereseChurch and Turner Street.

Moore's two daughters grewup playing in the park. Now theirfather's name is etched on thepark's fence.

"It makes me very proud," Su-zanne Moore said. "It's a nicewarm feeling."
