RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT resignation of Evelyn Howard, DECLARE a vacancy in the At-Large 5 - Alternate Seat on the Alcohol and Other Drugs Advisory Board, and DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to post the vacancy with a term ending June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact for this action.

BACKGROUND:

The Alcohol and Other Drugs Advisory Board’s mission is to identify needs in the community with regards to substance use prevention or treatment. The findings and recommendations are provided to the Board of Supervisors, the Health Services Department, Behavioral Health Division, and the Alcohol and Other Drugs Services (AODS) Administration. The Board is comprised of five Supervisorial District seats, six At-Large Member Seats, and three At-Large Alternate Seats.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Ms. Evelyn Howard is a high school student who was serving as an At-Large 5 - Alternate Seat. Ms. Howard vacated the seat last Fall due to conflicts with competing school priorities.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The seat will remain unfilled, and this will potentially make it more difficult to achieve a quorum and will potentially lessen the viewpoint of communities impacted by substance use issues in AOD Board deliberations.
