Council votes to participate in opioid settlement against secondary manufacturer
Summary
The council authorized the city to join state and other local governments as a participant in opioid settlements targeting a secondary manufacturer; the resolution passed unanimously.
The Orange Beach City Council adopted a resolution Sept. 2 authorizing the city to participate in opioid litigation settlements against a secondary manufacturer.
Council members moved and seconded the resolution; after brief discussion the council voted unanimously in favor. The resolution authorizes the city of Orange Beach to join the state of Alabama and other local governments as a participant in settlements arising from claims against a secondary manufacturer related to the opioid crisis.
City staff did not state any projected settlement amounts or a schedule for distribution during the meeting. The resolution appeared to be a standard participation authorization to allow the city to receive any eligible settlement proceeds and to join coordinated local government claims against the manufacturer.
