Minutes note: Chair Murphy announced that today's meeting would probably be his last. He was proud of the strides that had been made through the task force and agencies represented, but acknowledged that there was much more work to be done. The uptick in fata overdoses for African American men was concerning. Also an issue was the use of heroin in combination with other substances and/or fentanyl. He was hopeful for there to be continued commitment in the task force, and that vice-chair Lappen would led the task force in the interim. Chief Lipski commended chair Murphy for his leadership in bringing all agencies together under the task force and for his help in breaking the stigma.
