County approves opioid task force bylaw changes and reappoints two members; allows remote participation and voting
Summary
The board accepted amended bylaws for the county opioid task force to allow remote participation and remote voting for advisory committee members, and reappointed Whitney Kollich and Kyle Kelly; the board also approved an appointment to the Pathways board.
Delta County commissioners voted to accept an amendment to the opioid task force's bylaws permitting committee members to participate remotely and to vote during remote meetings. The change was discussed as consistent with the state task force's practice and the task force's advisory status.
Commissioners said the opioid task force had reviewed state guidance and determined that, as an advisory body, the task force is not constrained by the Open Meetings Act (OMA) in the same way as a governing board; the bylaws were amended to add remote-participation and remote-voting language. A commissioner said the task force remains committed to public access and timely minutes despite the remote option.
The board also reappointed Whitney Kollich and Kyle Kelly to the opioid task force. Separate motions recorded that the appointments were supported and approved by the board.
In related business, the board approved a motion to appoint Julie Moker to a Pathways board position (as previously discussed during the Pathways presentation).
All actions on the opioid task force bylaws and the listed appointments were approved by voice vote ('All in favor? Aye.'). No formal challenges or recorded roll-call opposition were noted in the transcript.
