Seeking the Age <br />Friendly/Livable Community is a process where both public and private stakeholders within a City <br />collaborate to assess and develop an action plan addressing eight domains of livability: <br />1. Outdoor Spaces <br />2. Transportation <br />3. Housing <br />4. Social Participation <br />5. Respect and Social Inclusion <br />6. Civic Participation and Information <br />7. Communication and Information <br />8. Community and Health Services <br />Since ConejoRPD is a public entity stakeholder active in several of the above "domains of livability" the <br />Council on Aging is seeking ConejoRPD's support as it requests City Council support for the application <br />process. The plan will encourage the City and stakeholders to consider their priorities and actions <br />through a lens of livability for all ages. If the City ultimately approves the effort, ConejoRPD staff <br />anticipates participating in the stakeholder group and providing information and data as part of the <br />application and assessment process. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE <br />Meets 2016-2020 Strategic Plan Objective 1.0 Programs: <br />Provide high quality programs and services that are responsive to the community's needs. Match our <br />programs to demographics, evaluate and leverage emerging opportunities, and partner with others. <br />ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES <br />403 West Hillcrest Drive • Thousand Oaks, CA 91360-4223 <br />(805) 496-6471 • FAX: (805) 497-3199 • Email: parks@crpd.org • Website: www.crpd.org <br />
