Wright County approves joining national Purdue Pharma opioid settlement, authorizes auditor to sign
Summary
The Wright County Board of Supervisors voted to approve a participation form for the national Purdue Pharma bankruptcy settlement and designated County Auditor Amanda Meyer to sign the documents.
The Wright County Board of Supervisors voted July 21 to approve a participation form for the national opioid litigation involving Purdue Pharma LP and authorized Amanda Meyer, Wright County auditor, to sign the settlement documents.
The motion to approve the Purdue Pharma LP participation form and to designate Meyer as the county's authorized signee passed unanimously. A board member moved to approve the form and a second followed; the chair called for the vote and recorded all ayes.
County officials said the county had received related emails and mailings and had circulated information to counsel and the auditor. According to comments in the meeting, the county's national law firm recommended the board add the item to a supervisors meeting so the board could review and approve participation and then return the signed documents; the law firm also offered an electronic signing option.
The board did not provide a roll-call vote in the transcript; four supervisors were recorded as present earlier in the meeting.
