Board reaffirms Kim Taylor as chair for 2026, appoints Karina Love vice chair; prior minutes approved
Summary
The Spokane Regional Behavioral Health Advisory Board approved last month’s minutes and voted to keep Kim Taylor as chair for 2026 while electing Karina Love as vice chair (soft handoff plan). Motions were moved and seconded and recorded votes were taken during the meeting.
During the meeting Kim Taylor asked for edits to the previous meeting’s minutes and requested a motion to approve. An unidentified speaker (transcript label Speaker 5) moved to approve the minutes and another unidentified speaker (Speaker 6) seconded; Kim thanked them and the minutes were accepted without listed amendments.
Later in the meeting Kim announced planned leadership rotation and invited nominations. Karina Love expressed interest in serving. A motion (Speaker 8) nominated Karina for assistant/vice chair with a plan for a soft handoff; that motion was seconded. A separate motion (Speaker 5) asked that Kim continue as chair for 2026 while Karina serves as vice chair and chairs some meetings for experience. The board held separate votes: the motion making Karina vice chair passed with recorded ayes and at least one recorded nay; the motion for Kim to continue as chair passed with ayes recorded and no named opposition.
Kim announced the next meeting on Monday, March 23, and the board moved and seconded to adjourn. The meeting adjourned following the recorded motions and votes.
