The senior citizens commission created by this division shall consist of five persons appointed by the mayor to serve without salary for five-year terms, except that of such members first appointed, the commission shall meet and select the length of term on initial appointment, thereafter each appointment shall be for five years; and until their respective successors are duly appointed and qualified.

The purpose of the senior citizens commission shall be to coordinate the activities of public and private groups involving the affairs of persons 60 years of age or older to the end that there shall be adequate community and individual activities stimulating and maintaining the interests of senior citizens; adequate public and private services maintaining and improving the health and welfare of senior citizens; and adequate dissemination of information concerning the interests, problems and affairs of senior citizens. It shall also be the purpose of the senior citizens commission to advise the council as to how senior citizens could assist and promote good works in the community.

The senior citizens commission shall operate under such budget, if any, as may from time to time be established by the annual appropriation ordinance of the city, but any expenditures there from, including employee salaries, shall be made only upon approval of the mayor and in accordance with ordinance and statutory requirements.
