All five declared candidates for Davis City Council seats have agreed to participate in a public forum Wednesday, April 28, hosted by Choices for Healthy Aging (CHA) and sponsored by the Institute for Restorative Health. The event will be held in the multi-purpose room of the Davis Senior Center, 646 A Street, Davis. Doors will open at 6 p.m. and the program is scheduled to begin at 6:30. The event is open to the public, admission is free of charge, and refreshments will be served.
City Council candidates Joe Krovoza, Jon Li, Rochelle Swanson, Sydney Vergis and Daniel Watts are competing for two council seats in the June 8 election. At the forum, they will be asked to describe how they believe the City Council should respond to the current and future needs of the city’s seniors.
Following the candidates’ brief opening remarks, CHA organizers will pose formal questions, some of which will be based on findings published in the document What Are the Housing Needs of Davis Seniors? CHA Community Outreach Results. That document, which is available at www.chadavis.com on the Web, consolidates the views that nearly 1,200 Davis residents expressed in more than 200 outreach meetings that CHA conducted during the past two years. Audience members also will be invited to ask questions.
CHA is a community organization with more than 400 members seeking more and better housing choices for Davis seniors. For more information, call (530) 574-0005.
CHA STEERING COMMITTEE MEMBERS: Mary Jo Bryan, Bob Chason, Pam Gill-Fisher, Janice Graham-Welsh, Janet C. Hamilton, Dyann Houston, Starr Walton Hurley, Rita Mt. Joy, Chris Snow, Charlotte Sobeck, Larry Swanson, Don Villarejo and Gil Wheeler.
