Council authorizes interlocal agreement to accept Auburn's share of King County opioid settlement funds
Summary
Auburn approved Resolution 58-46 to sign King County's interlocal agreement so the city can receive its share of opioid settlement funds; council discussion noted an administrative fund provision to support youth services.
The Auburn City Council on July 21 adopted Resolution 58-46 authorizing the mayor to sign King County’s regional interlocal agreement that enables the city to receive its share of opioid settlement funds.
Councilmember Amer moved the resolution and said the agreement will allow the Office of Addiction Care (OAC) or a similarly named administrative body to retain extra administrative funds to support future youth services and to keep core administrative functions running. Amer said the city will retain the ability to amend section 6(f) of the agreement if needed.
The motion to adopt Resolution 58-46 passed by voice vote. The transcript does not include a dollar amount for Auburn’s share, nor an allocation schedule or a timeline for disbursement. The resolution authorizes the mayor to execute the interlocal agreement with King County as presented.
Discussion versus formal action: council discussion described an administrative‑funding provision and the ability to update the agreement; the formal action was adoption of the interlocal agreement resolution. No specific programmatic expenditures were approved at the meeting.
Background: the resolution implements a regional mechanism for distributing opioid settlement proceeds through King County; the Auburn action is an administrative step to accept funds once distributed by the regional agreement.
