Police and health officials ask finance committee to develop allocation process for opioid settlement funds
Summary
City departments requested the finance committee develop an allocation process for opioid-settlement funds to support remediation projects; the board referred the matter to the finance committee for action.
City public-safety and health officials asked the board to refer a plan for allocating opioid settlement funds to the finance committee. The funds arise from national settlements with pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors; the city has begun to receive settlement payments and staff proposed a process for allocating those resources to remediation and response projects.
Chief Lovett and staff told the board they had identified several projects that would benefit from settlement funds and sought a formal committee process to review and recommend allocations. The board voted to refer the request to the finance committee for development of an allocation process.
