  9        SECTION  4.  The Commission on Aging is hereby directed to allocate salary
 10    savings, based on performance, to provide for  employee  salary  needs  before
 11    other operational budget priorities are considered.  Where applicable, employ-
 12    ees  whose  salaries are below the midpoint of their pay grade or occupational
 13    groups with significant turnover rates shall be considered first in the  order
 14    of salary savings distributions.
                                                                        
 15        SECTION  5.  It  is  the  intent of the Legislature that the Commission on
 16    Aging, in conjunction with the area agencies on aging, continues to strive  to
 17    maintain  the  quality  of  services provided to seniors, whether in their own
 18    homes or in senior centers. Senior centers provide  nutritional  services  and
 19    socialization opportunities to our senior citizens that are invaluable and the
 20    Legislature  commends the contributions of the workers and volunteers who sup-
 21    port our senior centers.
