Summary
A presentation on potential services funded by opioid settlement dollars was referred to the city's budget hearings for fuller review and prioritization.
Homewood councilors heard a presentation on Aug. 11 about services that could be provided using opioid settlement funds and voted to refer the matter to upcoming budget hearings for fuller consideration. Councilor Brent Smith reported, "We heard from Mr. Bales about some services that they could provide to the city, using the opioid settlement funds. And, after hearing his presentation, we decided to refer the item to budget hearings," allowing the council to examine the request in the context of the full city budget.
