Summary

The task force voted to confirm Peter Frazier as its representative to a joint advisory work group that will preview jail scoping scenarios for the Finance & Facility Advisory Board and County Council; Heather Flaherty moved the motion and Diane seconded; motion carried by virtual signaling.

At the start of agenda business, IPRTF co‑chairs proposed confirming representation to a joint advisory work group that will preview jail scoping scenarios for the Finance & Facility Advisory Board and County Council. Council and staff had discussed quorum risks from having too many members of any single advisory body participate.

IPRTF Co‑chair Heather Flaherty moved to confirm Peter Frazier as the IPRTF representative to the joint advisory work group, with Diane seconding the motion. Members registered their support by activating video and waving; staff recorded that Zoom’s raised‑hand function did not capture votes and asked members to signal by video.

The co‑chair recorded the outcome: "Motion carries." Peter Frazier will serve as the primary representative; Heather Flaherty indicated she would participate when quorum rules permit and maintain communication with Frazier to ensure both perspectives are shared.

Next steps: Jill (administrative staff) will record and communicate the confirmed representation to the Finance & Facility Advisory Board and joint advisory work group; IPRTF members were asked to share reflections with Peter and Heather ahead of the FAB meeting.
