MAYVILLE The Chautauqua County Office for Aging Services recently partnered with Rite Aid to help senior housing residents in Jamestown receive COVID-19 vaccines.
“While all pharmacies have been focused on vaccinating seniors over the last few months, on-site clinics like these bring vaccines to people who need it most, where they are,” said Dr. Mary Ann Spanos, OFAS director.
“We were excited to hold a vaccine clinic for senior housing residents in Jamestown,” said Chautauqua County Executive PJ Wendel. “These residents are a priority, because of transportation and computer issues and shared spaces in these buildings. We were pleased to help get these seniors vaccinated as soon as possible.”
Key West Mayor Teri Johnston will propose increasing the size of the cityâs housing authority board from five to seven commissioners within the next month, a move the current authority chairman wants to stop.
The expansion of the Housing Authority of Key West board, the first in its 83-year history, is aimed at bringing a more specialized knowledge onto the authority board. It is also an effort to increase transparency on a board where three of its five members have been in place for decades. Commissioner Roosevelt Sands Jr. has been on the board the longest, appointed in 1970 and serving 56 years. Chairman Frank Toppino has been on the board for 30 years, appointed in 1991. Vice Chairman Robert Dean has served twice for a total of 44 years. And commissioners John Parks and Annette Mobley were appointed in 2003 and 2018, respectively.
