York County Council returned from executive session and announced two actions taken on the record.
First, the council authorized the county attorney and necessary staff to execute participation forms and agreements related to national opioid settlements discussed in executive session, specifically naming Allergan, Sandoz, Purdue Pharma and the Sackler-related matters and forms provided by the opioids implementation administrator. The motion was made and seconded on the record; council then voted in favor and the motion carried.
Second, council authorized staff to negotiate a grant application for Aspen Business Park as discussed in executive session. That authorization was contingent upon receiving MCIP designation (an economic development designation cited in the meeting) and on recruitment of confirmed county investment over time. The motion to authorize negotiation carried after a second, and council recorded no opposition.
Both motions were announced on the record after executive session; the transcript records that no additional open-session discussion or vote details (member-by-member roll call) were provided beyond the motions and the chair's announcement that the motions passed.
Staff were directed to proceed with the opioid-settlement forms and to pursue Aspen Business Park grant negotiations under the stated contingencies. No contract amounts or fiscal commitments were read into the public record at the meeting.
