VISION FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH & RESILIENCY ADVISORY BOARD— MAYOR BUCK Respect. Excellence. Trust. Service. 503-635-3758 505 G AVENUE PO Box 369 LAKE OSWEGO, OR 97034 WWW.LAKEOSWEGO.CITY Page 3 Mayor Buck conveyed to the board their role in the city including the following information; looking at different aspects. The board can look at ways to engage neighborhood association in a more meaningful way. The city didn't have a something to look at things through a public health lens or a group to look at different decisions and policies at the city level. Wouldn't be nice to have a body to look at everything the city does including infrastructure all different aspects of programming outside of what the county does. The broader vision of this board is to help advise and frame city decisions around how the pros and cons of the health of the community. The previous 50+Advisory Board's focus had been emergency preparedness aspect Emergency preparedness topics including 2 weeks ready program and how to lead the public. 50+Advisory board was naturally going in that direction and there is an overlap between the two boards and public health and disaster preparedness. Public health and disaster preparedness are good issues to take up and the overlap is through community connections. We have been looking at ways to engage the neighborhood association in a more meaningful way but it's been challenging to get people engaged. But there is a space for some local intervention that requires more social connection helping fuel a sense of purpose especially among our youth and older populations with a focus on multi-generational connections. And how to facilitate those relationships in some way. The county has the professional staff and the city has the connections and they are an important partner in all of this. An example of flavored tobacco bans and what can be done locally, substance abuse and funds received from opioid settlement was discussed. Needs assessments can identify what's out there, what's working well, where are the opportunities and who to work with. The Mayor thanked board members for their time and working through the transition. 10. CHARGE STATEMENT REVIEW (see attached document) The board reviewed the draft charge statement.
