Livingston County supervisors approve series of resolutions, contracts and appointments; join opioid settlement

The Livingston County Board of Supervisors voted to adopt a series of resolutions and contracts affecting county operations, public-safety technology, employee services and litigation settlement participation.

The actions included surplus-property declarations for the sheriff’s office; amendments to the 2025 county budget for the Board of Elections and the sheriff’s office; contracts for employee-assistance services and public-safety equipment; personnel appointments and reappointments; and authorization to participate in the Sandoz settlement program to resolve pending opioid-related litigation. All listed resolutions were adopted by roll call with the recorded tally of 4,987 ayes and 67 absent where noted.

Why it matters: the adopted contracts and budget amendments authorize spending or commitments that affect service delivery — from body-worn or dispatch-related equipment to employee well-being programs — and the county’s decision to join an opioid settlement program is part of a broader, multi-jurisdictional attempt to recover funds tied to opioid harms.
