City to pass through $300,000 to Maddie's Place with county opioid funds, staff say
Summary
An interlocal agreement would pass $300,000 of county opioid funds through the city to Maddie's Place to sustain operations while the organization seeks sustainable reimbursement; staff said funding is needed within 45 days.
City staff told the Public Safety and Community Health Committee on July 14 they plan an interlocal agreement with Spokane County to pass $300,000 to Maddie's Place, using county opioid funds that the county previously contracted for the organization. According to staff, the county had previously contracted $600,000 of opioid dollars to Maddie's Place; the proposed ILA would pass through $300,000 from the city with a pending SVO (subject to council approval). Staff said Maddie's Place needs the funding within the next 45 days to sustain operations while the nonprofit works to secure a sustainable reimbursement model. The ILA was presented as a briefing item; staff requested council approval to authorize the pass‑through. No formal action was recorded in the July 14 committee meeting.
