January 2026 Commission on Aging Meeting

The Washtenaw County Commission on Aging’s meeting—titled January 2026, though the provided metadata lists October 1, 2026—focused on commission business and goals for the year. Members unanimously elected Marta Larson as chair, Bruce Astrian as vice chair, and Jennifer Green as secretary, and approved a meeting calendar that places the next meeting on February 5 at 9 a.m., with subsequent meetings on the first Friday of the month. The commission also discussed goals including building a working relationship with the incoming director of aging services, completing and presenting the 2025 annual report, updating the commission website and meeting materials, supporting a county directory of aging services, and monitoring and communicating progress on senior millage-funded work. Members raised the possibility of seeking additional resources, such as a larger budget or an intern, but no funding was allocated.

The commission discussed whether future meetings might need to be held in person under county guidance related to the Open Meetings Act, emphasizing accessibility and virtual participation; no change to the meeting format was decided. No procurement activity was identified: there were no contract awards, solicitations, vendor selections, or purchasing approvals.
