County authorizes CFO to sign participation forms for opioid settlements including Purdue Pharma
Summary
Pottawatomie County authorized its chief financial officer to sign and administer settlement participation forms related to the Purdue Pharma/Sackler bankruptcy settlements and multi‑manufacturer opioid settlements.
Pottawatomie County supervisors approved a motion authorizing the county’s chief financial officer, Mitchell Cai, to sign and administer documents necessary for participation in opioid settlements, including the Purdue Pharma and Sackler family bankruptcy settlements and a consolidated participation form covering multiple manufacturers.
The county’s chief financial officer presented the request, noting the county’s existing attorneys remain the same and that the action allows the county to execute new settlement paperwork as settlements are finalized. The board approved the motion by voice vote; no roll call was taken.
The motion covered settlement participation forms and did not itself obligate new county expenditures, according to the county financial staff. Supervisors did not discuss specific allocation of settlement funds at the meeting.
Ending: The board authorized the county CFO to execute settlement paperwork to ensure the county can participate in opioid settlement distributions as required.
