CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
The Chairman advised BAAB members of a letter he received from County
Commission Chairperson Michael Volpe regarding combining certain
advisory boards into a single advisory committee for Minority Affairs.
It was the consensus of the BAAB members in attendance to maintain
separate advisory boards. No formal action was taken in this matter.

reviewed at the meeting. BAAB members discussed
attendance requirements of this Ordinance. The
was also discussed. No formal action was taken.
NEW BUSINESS
Ann Ricotta from the Mental Health Association addressed the BAAB
regarding the provision of mental health services to the minority
community. Ms. Ricotta advised that it was her opinion that the
mental health needs of the black community were not being met or
addressed. She asked the BAAB for suggestions to better inform the
black community of the many mental health services which are
available. BAAB members suggested networking with the NAACP,
contacting churches, and providing workshops.
The meeting was adjourned after the discussion regarding mental health
services.
