Summary

Jail officials told the commission the Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) program lost a $100,000 federal grant earlier in the year but subsequently received a $224,000 state grant.

Jail Commander Paul Olthoff and MOUD Officer Ashley Clouse updated the Ward County Commission July 15 on the jail’s MOUD program. They said the program lost a $100,000 federal grant earlier in the year and later received a $224,000 state grant.

Olthoff and Clouse presented the funding changes as part of a program update; the transcript does not record additional details such as the state agency that awarded the $224,000, the grant period, or how the award will be budgeted across program expenses.

Commissioners did not vote on changes to the program or on new spending at the July 15 meeting. The presentation was informational; any program modifications would require separate action or budget approval in future proceedings.
