Advisory Board did not meet the months of March through May of 2020. When meetings resumed, they were conducted virtually. From June through August the survey results were reviewed by city staff and the Senior Advisory Board. Discussions led to the decision to focus on three domains: Housing and Transportation, the two lowest scores and Social Participation. The board felt these were the top issues in the community.
