Merger Plan Proposed for Linn County Elderly Agencies
Russell Proffitt urged the Heritage Agency on Aging and the Witwer Center to dissolve two existing bodies and form a new Linn County Elderly Services Board. The plan would unify oversight under one director, pool funding, and move the congregate meals program to the new agency with board composition drawn from current members. The idea drew cautious support and delays for separate board deliberations.
