The first was a recommendation to merge two councils: the Public Safety Coordinating Council (PSCC) and the Public Safety Council for Criminal Justice, Mental Health, and Substance Abuse (PSC), which was required by Florida Statute. Attorney Shuler noted that the PSCC was not meeting currently, and all their members served on the larger PSC, which met quarterly. The second item was a follow-up to Commissioner Adams' request to explore creating an opioid and substance use task force. Attorney Shuler met with Thrive, the agency which administers opioid funds, and both agreed that a task force would create more bureaucracy and make them less flexible. The County Attorney suggested having the PSC take on the duties of making recommendations and receiving reports regarding opioid funds. Carrie Lester, CEO of Thrive, appreciated having the PSC available as a conduit for providing the Board with updates and information. A motion was made by Commissioner Adams, seconded by Chairman Flescher, to approve staffs recommendation and Resolution 2025-022, abolishing the Public Safety Coordinating Council and revising the Public Safety Council for Criminal Justice, Mental Health and Substance Abuse to meet the statutory requirements of both councils.
