Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe seeks MAT committee member

The Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe is seeking a Sequim resident to serve on the Jamestown Healing Clinic Community Advisory Committee, a board that oversees the program run at the tribe’s medication-assisted treatment (MAT) facility.

The committee is charged with developing a monitoring and evaluation program for the clinic, and developing a contingency plan that “fully identifies potential courses of action and any corrective actions to be taken when monitoring or evaluation indicates expectations and standards at the Clinic are not being met with respect to how Clinic operations impact the City’s public services beyond the impacts caused by other outpatient clinics in the City,” according to tribe representatives.

The committee meets from 9-10 a.m. the first Friday of every month.

Applications will be collected for the next 30 days, after which the Community Advisory Committee will make a selection at its February meeting.

Applicants must be 18 years old or older, reside in Sequim city limits, and be “objective, fair-minded (and) analytical,” tribe representatives said this week.

Committee members include the following: the health director of Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe; Sequim City Manager; Sequim Community Development Director; Sequim Police Chief; Clallam County Sheriff; Fire District #3 Chief; a Jamestown S’Klallam tribal council member; a City of Sequim council member; a member of the health field, and a Sequim resident.
