Summary

Council added and voted to advertise Resolution 806‑25 to participate in a Westmoreland County opioid settlement allocation; solicitor said county solicitors asked larger municipalities to adopt similar resolutions to bolster allocation.

Murrysville Borough Council voted Wednesday to advertise Resolution 806‑25, a municipal resolution authorizing participation in a Westmoreland County allocation of opioid‑settlement funds.

Solicitor Adam (surname not specified in transcript) explained that Westmoreland County joined nationwide litigation seeking settlement funds from pharmaceutical manufacturers and that the county’s allocation is influenced by the number of participating municipalities. He said the county solicitor’s office had requested participation from larger municipalities, including Murrysville, to bolster the county’s allocation.

Council approved a motion to advertise the resolution for consideration at a subsequent meeting; the solicitor and chief administrative staff offered to describe the item more thoroughly when council reaches that agenda item. No funding distribution details or municipal financial commitments were presented during the Oct. 1 meeting.
