Agency on Aging Director Heather Ruhkamp informed the Board that the umbrella that the Nutrition Site is currently under will be changing to be called Aging and Disability Resource Centers instead Area Agency on Aging Centers which will now combine with Medicad Services. This change will put more of the tax burden on the local level as more clients will be served with no additional State funds.
