# March 2026 Commission on Aging Meeting

The Washtenaw County Commission on Aging’s March 2026 meeting (the transcript identifies it as the March 6 meeting) discussed upcoming procurement for aging services. The Office of Aging Services director said the county hopes to issue an RFP in June 2026, subject to required approvals, and plans to keep it open for about two months to encourage complementary, collaborative proposals. The director is also seeking consultant bids for a senior nutrition strategic-planning process, aiming to keep the cost below $25,000, receive bids within the next few weeks, and launch the work in mid-April. No consultant or service-provider awards were made, and no procurement-related vote was taken. The director cited approximately $8.5 million in 2025 funds and roughly $12 million total for 2026, with funds already allocated for transportation, senior nutrition, and senior centers; housing, hunger, and health were identified as potential priorities for future funding discussions.

The commission also received an AARP presentation on age-friendly communities, including possible community assessments and local collaboration, and discussed outreach, reporting outcomes from millage spending, and resources for the commission’s work. Members approved the February 5 minutes, with two members abstaining because they were absent. The aging-services millage review committee is still being assembled; its members are expected to help shape the RFP process, and the county administrator’s representative remains undecided. No contracts were awarded or purchasing approvals passed.
