Establishment. There is hereby established a Senior Services Advisory
Committee. The purpose of the Committee is to identify the immediate
and long-term needs of the aging population of Washington Borough
as it relates to the health, safety and welfare of that population.
Seek out and identify those in the community who are in need of assistance
with chores and tasks such as putting out trash, recyclables and white
goods, shoveling snow, etc. The Committee is also charged with developing
a master list of those senior citizens and disabled members of the
community who are in need of assistance and, with the seniors' permission,
sharing the list with those organizations that make up the safety
and code offices, including, but not limited to, the Code Enforcement
Official, Police Department, Fire Department, First Aid Squad, Office
of Emergency Management and Borough Manager's office, so that those
public officials may be aware of the needs of the seniors in connection
with enforcement issues.
Explore the potential for the establishment of a separate senior
citizens organization within the Borough and assist with its formation,
if appropriate.
Other resources. Nothing in this section shall preclude the Committee
from using other outside resources, such as local service organizations
(Kiwanis, Rotary, Women's and Junior Women's Clubs), youth organizations
(Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts), faith-based organizations and school-related
organizations (Honor Society, etc.).
