Executive Committee moves to recommend four candidates for Behavioral Health Board
Summary
Member Kristine Haataja moved and Vice Chair Greg Clark seconded a recommendation that Jill Barnes, Jessica Gray, Jason Hellman and Jean O'Donnell be appointed to the Behavioral Health Board; committee members expressed unanimous support and noted conflict-of-interest recusal plans where applicable.
Members discussed multiple applicants and expressed support for recommending four candidates to the full Behavioral Health Board. Member Kristine Haataja moved to recommend Jill Barnes (proposed Local Education Agency representative), Jessica Gray (licensed therapist), Jason Hellman (leadership role at Serenity Homes; potential conflict-of-interest flagged), and Jean O'Donnell; Vice Chair Greg Clark seconded the motion. Committee members noted Gray understands the need to recuse from discussions involving organizations with which she has a conflict and said Hellman's conflicts would be managed by recusal if necessary.
Minutes record unanimous support for recommending these appointments to the Behavioral Health Board; formal nominations and any confirmations will occur at the next full Board meeting in accordance with the Board's nomination procedures. The motion to recommend appointments was made during the Executive Committee special session and seconded, but the minutes do not record a formal roll-call vote on the recommendation at this meeting.
