Board approves February minutes, confirms statutory limits on membership
Summary
At a brief meeting, members approved February minutes and discussed that state statute limits the board's composition to two naturopathic doctors and a non-naturopathic layperson; a proposed legislative change did not advance to a vote.
Members of the board (name not specified in the transcript) approved the February meeting minutes and confirmed that state statute currently limits the board's composition, officials said.
The discussion took place during routine business at a short meeting in which members also moved to adjourn. Lauren Young, who opened the meeting, said, "Currently, the description of the board is 2 NDs and a layperson that's not a naturopathic physician." The transcript does not name the board in full.
Stacy Monroe moved to approve the February minutes, saying, "I approve the minutes." Young seconded the motion and announced, "we're all in favor then. Perfect. So the February minutes are approved." Later in the meeting Monroe made a motion to adjourn and the meeting was closed by consensus.
Stacy Schulman, identified in the meeting as counsel to the board, told members she would check with her supervisor about appointment activity, saying, "I can check with my supervisor who is the, he's the deputy, legal director. . . His name is Ryan Burns." Young and others discussed recent legislative activity that would have affected board composition. Young said the bill "didn't even make it to a vote in the public house." The meeting record does not identify the bill by number or provide statutory language.
The members noted there were no public comments and no chair updates. The group scheduled its next meeting for Aug. 22; one member said she would probably be unavailable for that date.
No formal change to membership rules or statutory language was made at the meeting; attendees described only that altering the board's composition would require changing the statute.
