50+ Community forums were held across the county. The public was invited to participate in the process of developing the 2013/2014 50+ Action Plan. At most of the meetings, after a brief introductory session, the participants were invited to participate in two of five small group discussions focused on the following topics: Housing, Transportation, Community Engagement, Safe & Healthy Community, and Services. At the end of each small group session, the participants were asked to vote on the three ideas or initiatives that they thought were most important. The votes for particular ideas were totaled in the "Number of Votes" column of the forum data. Some smaller forum participants did not have the opportunity to vote.
