Board of County Commissioners <br />Meeting Minutes - Final June 18, 2019 <br />Vice Chairman Adams spoke on the importance of incorporating age -friendly <br />amenities into our community. <br />Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Staff Director Phil Matson <br />informed the Board of his support for the designation, making mention that it <br />showed cooperation and partnership when applying for grants. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan was in support of the designation and preferred the <br />"Livable Community" wording, as brought forth by Secretary Prudom in Item <br />5.A., to attract a younger population to Indian River County. Secretary <br />Prudom clarified that he would be working with the State to change the <br />wording, as other counties agreed that "Livable Community" was a preferred <br />term to "Age -Friendly." <br />Chairman Solari was not in support of the designation, making mention that he <br />lacked confidence that the terms of the designation could be dictated at the local <br />level. <br />A motion was made by Vice Chairman Adams, seconded by Commissioner Zorc, <br />to direct staff to work with the Senior Collaborative of Indian River County to <br />attain the designation of an Age-Friendly/Livable Community.
