OLD AND NEW BUSINESS
1. Continued Restructuring of Substance Abuse Committee — Greg Timmerman
reported that no one objected to be taken off the membership list. The question
is how many do we add? Esther shared that these people are listed as voting
members but anyone is encouraged to participate. Buzz referred to his previous
e -mail regarding his opinion on the membership.
Discussion followed. Esther asked if we could just have supervisors as voting
members. Greg shared that the by -laws would have to be changed. We would
also add youth and youth serving organizations and keep DA's office on the list.
YSB and youth organizations will recruit youth. Peter said we should consider
the homeless shelter organizations. Also, a pharmacist. And any other
interested individual.
It was the consensus of the Committee that the 3 Supervisors to be the voting
members of this Committee. Greg will rewrite resolution and bring it to the next
meeting for our review.
2. Reports
a. OJA Grant Doug reported we were approved for the 3` year funding.
$24,000 plus what schools contribute. Shannon Bartlett Chemical Health
Prevention Coordinator was hired. She has worked in Arizona and North
Dakota in the field.
a. Prescription Drop Boxes — John reported on the one day take back program
that the Drug Enforcement Administration Office is sponsoring on
September 25 Their office is paying for it. Whoever collects the drugs
must be a law enforcement agency.
In the future, they are working on a long term solution where there would
permanent drop boxes in municipalities. Disposal is expensive so they are
looking at partnering with other counties. Hoping to start after January 1.
b. Drug Court — Amber reported there have been 4 graduations, about 22 total.
c. Open Door Rescue Mission - Tom reported they are targeting Dec. 1 to
open. They are doing a small remodel, have found a house mother and many
