Referral History:

On December 6, 2011 the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2011/497 adopting policy governing appointments to boards, committees, and commissions that are advisory to the Board of Supervisors. Included in this resolution was a requirement that applications for at large/countywide seats be reviewed by a Board of Supervisors committee. At Large seats on the Alcohol and Other Drugs Advisory Board are assigned to FHS for review and recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.

The Alcohol and Other Drugs Advisory Board provides input and recommendations to the Board of Supervisors and the Health Services Department concerning family and community needs regarding prevention and treatment of alcohol and drug related problems. The mission of the Contra Costa County Alcohol and Other Drugs Advisory Board is to assess family and community needs regarding treatment and prevention of alcohol and drug abuse problems. The board reports their findings and recommendations to the Contra Costa Health Services Department, the Board of Supervisors and the communities they serve. The Alcohol and Other Drugs Advisory Board works in collaboration with the Alcohol and Other Drugs Services of Contra Costa Health Services. The board provides input and recommendations as they pertain to alcohol and other drugs prevention, intervention, and treatment services.

Referral Update:

The Alcohol and Other Drugs Advisory Board’s Executive Committee met and are recommending the reinstatement of Victor Ortiz. Mr. Ortiz's previous term expired on June 30, 2021. Because the term expired, the seat is vacant but Mr. Victor Ortiz, who was the Vice Chair of the Board at the end of his term in June 2021, has expressed his interest to continue on the Advisory Board.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

RECOMMEND that the Board of Supervisors, APPOINT Victor Ortiz to Alcohol and Other Drugs Advisory Board Member-at-Large Seat 2 for a term ending June 30, 2024.
