12/3/2024 - File # 24-1042 - Amended Bylaws were brought to the Board of Supervisors for discussion and approval.  Upon discussion, further amendments were recommended to be made and brought back to the Board of Supervisors for approval.                     

 

Summary of Request

On December 19, 2023 a resolution was approved by the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors to reduce the composition of the Behavioral Health Advisory Board, encourage dual participation with the Measure B Oversite Committee, and create revisions to the Behavioral Health Advisory Board’s Bylaws.  These suggested revisions to the Bylaws will make them consistent with the Board of Supervisors’ requested amendments and remain in compliance with the California Welfare and Institutions Code.

 

On October 23, 2024, the Behavioral Health Advisory Board amended and approved the bylaws to align with Resolution Number 23-194 and on December 19, 2024, they were brought before the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors for review and approval.  Upon review, the Board of Supervisors made several recommendations on the Bylaws and asked that the Bylaws be brought back for approval after the first of the year.
