Senior Citizen Commission Meeting Live Stream 03/17/2026

The City of Encinitas Senior Citizen Commission held a meeting on March 17, 2026, primarily focused on organizational matters and planning for the upcoming fiscal year. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval and formation of the fiscal year 2026-2027 work plan, which encompasses goals such as attending city events, hosting guest speakers, researching best practices for adults 50+, intergenerational programming, marketing and outreach, and exploring senior transit programs including potential field trips and funding opportunities for a program vehicle. The commission also discussed grant funding opportunities, though no immediate grant applications were planned. Additionally, the commission addressed the senior citizen service award process, including forming an ad hoc committee to review nominations. Funding for a team-building exercise at the Pacific View Arts Center was noted to come from the Previs Foundation, not city funds. The commission deferred approval of an age-friendly community study letter pending further information. No contract awards or vendor selections were made during this meeting, but several programmatic initiatives with potential future procurement implications were outlined.
