BACKGROUND:

The Alcohol & Other Drugs Advisory Board was created in 1992 by the Board of Supervisors. Their mission is to assess family and community needs regarding treatment and prevention of alcohol and drug abuse problems, and to report the findings and recommendations to the Health Services Department, the Board of Supervisors and the communities that they serve.

The Alcohol & Other Drugs Advisory Board is comprised of twenty members and one alternate. Members shall have a professional interest in, or personal commitment to, alleviating problems related to drug abuse and inappropriate alcohol use in their community. The alternate member can sit and vote for any of the five At-large seats on the advisory board. If a vacancy occurs, the alternate will automatically assume the vacant at-large seat. The membership breakdown is as follows:

• Three representatives to be nominated by each member of the Board of Supervisors.
• Five at-large members to be nominated by the Internal Operations Committee to ensure geographic, racial, and ethnic diversity on the Advisory Board.
• One alternate member to be nominated by the Internal Operations Committee.

Members serve for three-year terms.

Supervisor Andersen has advertised the vacant District 2 Seat for several months. Mr. Maurer submitted an application, Supervisor Andersen met with him and feels he will be a positive addition to the advisory board.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The District II-A Seat will remain vacant.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
