Board Committees
Much of the work done by the board is conducted in committee meetings. All board members are expected to serve on at least one committee. However, committees are not empowered to make decisions on behalf of the board. Any recommendations made by a committee must be brought before the full board during a regular business meeting for consideration and approval.
The board has four standing committees:
Planning Committee: This committee meets at 4:00 on the 2nd Tuesday of each month (except July and December) at the board office. The primary role of the Committee is to direct staff in the planning of services that will be provided with Board funds. In addition, the Committee reviews the evaluation, monitoring and compliance activities of the Board.
Finance Committee: This committee meets at 4:00 on the 3rd Tuesday of each month (except July and December) at the board office. The primary role of the Committee is to review and recommend to the full Board the Board budget, budget revisions and monthly financial statements, including the warrants.
Alcohol and Drug Committee: This committee meets a minimum of 3 times each year as scheduled. The primary role of this committee is to review and recommend to the full board the board's Community Plan for Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services, the annual budget for alcohol and drug services, treatment and prevention programs and services and guidelines for the evaluation of alcohol and drug programs.
Executive Committee: The Executive Committee is comprised of the board officers and committee chairs. The committee meets on an as needed basis, usually immediately before or following a regular board meeting. The primary role of this committee is to address issues regarding personnel and building/grounds.
