32 <br /> 1 <br /> 2 MOTION FAILS 2-5 <br /> 3 <br /> 4 A motion was made by Commissioner Fowler, seconded by Commissioner Greene to <br /> 5 appoint Dr. Tiffany Barber for the remaining At-Large/Flex position. <br /> 6 <br /> 7 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 8 <br /> 9 Commissioner Richards said she asked the question about partial terms. She asked if the <br /> 10 Board would consider approving one of the residents with lived experienced for a full term rather <br /> 11 than having them both serve partial terms. <br /> 12 Chair Price said she agreed with Commissioner Richards, and would be okay with both <br /> 13 residents with lived experience in full terms. <br /> 14 Commissioner Richards asked how long the advisory committee will last. <br /> 15 Chair Price said the funding will be paid out over 18 years. She said this initial group on <br /> 16 the advisory committee sets the stage for how the money will be spent. <br /> 17 Commissioner Richards said she thought going forward, the Board would likely want <br /> 18 residents with lived experienced to be consistent on the committee, but said it may not be an <br /> 19 issue to others. <br /> 20 Commissioner Hamilton said it would make sense with staggered terms to have one <br /> 21 person with lived experience to have a partial term, and one with a full term to make sure there is <br /> 22 always someone on the committee with that viewpoint. <br /> 23 Chair Price clarified that there will always be someone on the committee with lived <br /> 24 experience. <br /> 25 Commissioner Hamilton reiterated that, for continuity, it would good for one resident with <br /> 26 lived experience to have a partial term and one to have a full term. <br /> 27 Chair Price said there will always be two people with lived experience on the committee. <br /> 28 Commissioner Hamilton said that's correct, but her point is that if one of them rolls off, <br /> 29 then someone with experience on the committee would stay on. <br /> 30 Chair Price asked if there was a desire from the Board to have a lived experience position <br /> 31 with a full term. <br /> 32 The Board agreed by consensus. <br /> 33 Commissioner Greene agreed with Commissioner Hamilton's comments. <br /> 34 Commissioner Richards recommended that Jefradrian Stafford be appointed a full term <br /> 35 and Dr. Tiffany Barber be appointed to a partial term. <br /> 36 Chair Price said that in that case, Jefradrian Stafford would be appointed to a first full term <br /> 37 ending 10/31/2025, and Dr. Tiffany Barber would be appointed to a partial term ending <br /> 38 10/31/2023. <br /> 39 Tara May clarified that once a term expires, the committee member would automatically <br /> 40 be eligible for reappointment by the Board without having to reapply. <br /> 41 <br /> 42 A motion was made by Commissioner Richards, seconded by Commissioner Bedford, to <br /> 43 make the following appointments to the Opioid Advisory Committee: <br /> 44 <br />
