Livability Commission Vacancies
The newly formed Fruita Livability Commission is the result of the City of Fruita being designated an Age-Friendly, Livable Community by AARP. This designation includes more than 300 towns, cities and counties nationwide. In fact, Colorado has been designated a Livable State along with only two others: New York and Massachusetts.
The mission of the Commission is to continually gather community input and make recommendations to the City Council pertaining to the eight domains of livability that support healthy aging and improve the quality of life, economic health and lifestyle of the Fruita community members. Consequently, the Commission will target improvements in eight domains meant to influence and improve the health and quality of life of those in our community. These eight domains of livability and what they represent include:
- Transportation - Safe and affordable modes of private and public transportation.
- Housing - Availability of home modification programs for aging in place as well as a range of affordable housing.
- Outdoor Spaces and Buildings - Availability of safe and accessible recreational facilities.
- Social Participation - Access to leisure and cultural activities, including opportunities for all residents to socialize with their peers and with others outside their age groups.
- Respect & Social Inclusion - Programs that promote ethnic and cultural diversity and well as multi-generational interaction and dialogue.
- Civic Participation and Employment - Paid work and volunteer activities for all residents to engage in the formulation of policies relevant to their lives.
- Communication & Information - Access to communications technology and other resources so residents can connect with their community, friends and family.
- Community Support & Health Services - Access to health care facilities, clinics and professionals, and programs that promote health, wellness and active aging.
At this time, the Commission is developing its membership by reaching out to members of our community to encourage their participation in this effort. Please consider joining us by attending the next Livability Commission meeting on Thursday, November 15, 2018 at 4:00 pm in the Civic Center Council Room at 325 E. Aspen Ave., 2nd Floor. This will be an informational meeting so that you and others considering appointment to the Commission may learn more about our plans and have your questions answered.
