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