RESOLUTION NO. 07-033
Establishing a Task Force on Vital Aging
The Multnomah County Board of Commissioners Finds:
a. According to the U.S. Census, the United States population aged 65 and over is expected to double in size within the next 25 years. By 2030 almost one in every five Americans will be 65 years or older. The age group 85 and older is the now the fastest growing segment of the population.
b. Today, Multnomah County enjoys an elder population approaching 100,000 with 12% of this population over 85 years of age.
c. Older adults are a vital resource including considerable wisdom, expertise, and available time. Research from many sources concludes the more actively engaged older adults are, the more likely they will remain independent and contribute back to the community. The more older adults are able to live independently, the better their quality of life and potentially less demand for private and public resources.
d. Senior volunteerism through Multnomah County’s Aging and Disability Services and community partners has been successful. During Fiscal Year 2005/2006, over 278,000 volunteer hours were logged; offering Multnomah County approximately $5,000,000 of in-kind support.
e. It is in the best interest of Multnomah County to expand and enhance these efforts.
The Multnomah County Board of Commissioners Resolves:
1. A task force on vital aging be convened to assess and identify new opportunities, best practices, barriers and recommendations for enhancing the independence, engagement, and contributions of older adults in Multnomah County and our region.
2. Chair Ted Wheeler and Commissioner Maria Rojo de Steffey will determine the shape and logistics of the task force and will appoint all members to the taskforce.
3. The task force will report to the Board by March, 2008 with key findings and a recommendation for best practices to engage older adults in the following two areas:
:a. Civic Engagement: Identify and recommend best practices for optimizing and engaging older adults in the nonprofit and governmental sectors.
:b. Employment: Identify and recommend best practices for older adults for flexible work arrangements in such areas as job sharing, part time or episodic work and retraining.

Naperville, IL Renewable Energy Program

Type: Program
Status: Ongoing
Source File: http://www.naperville.il.us/renewable.aspx
Description:
Introduction
The City of Naperville has partnered with Community Energy, Inc. to provide a new, environmentally-friendly choice for your electric service. This exciting program makes it easy for residents and commercial customers to purchase clean energy produced through natural means such as wind, water and the sun. Imagine the impact of cleaner air on Naperville’s future generations! More energy independence and less air pollutants means healthier air and a safer community for everyone.
For as little as $5 per month, you can make a difference for future generations by enrolling in the city's Renewable Energy Program. Although this option is new to Naperville, many communities just like ours are already using renewable resources. Let’s unite in this effort to create a cleaner tomorrow for future generations — sign up for the city's Renewable Energy Program today.
How it Works
Renewable energy is electricity generated from natural resources that will never be depleted and do not release any harmful pollution into the air. Naperville's Renewable Energy Program is comprised of 90% wind energy, 5% small-hydro, and 5% solar energy generated entirely within the State of Illinois. Success in the program will lead to more renewable energy being built in the state. The wind energy will be generated by Illinois wind farms. The solar power will come from Chicago-based solar power projects, and the hydropower will be generated by a small, low-impact hydro-facility located on the Fox River.
How to Participate
A small additional charge of $5.00 to your monthly electric bill covers the added expense of delivering 200 kilowatt hours of clean and renewable energy to the Illinois electric grid. The Naperville Renewable Energy Program allows customers to participate at various levels of support. City residents and businesses can choose the participation level that best fits their energy usage and their budget. The City of Naperville will continue to deliver your electricity and provide the same reliable utility service.
Pricing Options:
* 200 kWh = $5.00 monthly
* 400 kWh = $10.00 monthly
* 600 kWh = $15.00 monthly
* 800 kWh = $20.00 monthly
All costs are in addition to your current electricity charges.
Additional levels of participation are available, and commercial customers may qualify for special pricing.
