Grayson County adopts resolution to participate in opioid manufacturer settlements
Summary
The board adopted a resolution approving county participation in opioid manufacturer settlements and an accompanying exhibit placed in the meeting packet.
The Grayson County Board of Supervisors voted to adopt a resolution allowing the county to participate in settlements with opioid manufacturers and to receive funding when those settlements are distributed. County staff said the board was advised to move forward and that an exhibit accompanying the resolution was included in the board packet.
Why it matters: Participation will allow the county to receive settlement funds when individual manufacturers distribute settlement payments. County staff said the resolution and an accompanying exhibit were provided so the administrator may sign documents after board approval.
What the board did: A supervisor moved to adopt the resolution and the motion was seconded. The board carried the measure by roll-call vote, with supervisors recorded as voting in favor.
Background and next steps: Staff said the settlement involves multiple manufacturers and that funds will be distributed after the settlement process concludes. The packet included a form identified in the meeting as an “exhibit cake” (as labeled in the packet). The county administrator was authorized to sign the exhibit as administrator, per staff comments during the meeting.
