Age-friendly community discussion on Inclusivity Committee agenda

The Philomath Inclusivity Ad Hoc Committee plans to meet at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at Philomath City Hall.

The committee’s agenda includes a discussion on next steps following the Philomath City Council’s approval of an “age-friendly community” resolution at its Aug. 12 meeting. The committee is tasked with overseeing an application process for Philomath to join the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities, an organization that educates elected officials and engages residents to encourage them to implement changes to improve livability.

Also on the agenda is an update on a situation that surfaced out of a resident’s concern and a review of upcoming items on the Inclusivity Committee’s calendar and how to promote them.

For those interested in the meeting but unable to attend at City Hall, it will be live-streamed on the city’s YouTube channel.
