County to stay in regional opioid settlement group to remain eligible for disbursements
Summary
Montezuma County staff said the county will continue participation in the Southwest Opioid Response District (SORD) and sign settlement paperwork to remain eligible for settlement funds that may be routed to the regional group.
County staff told commissioners the county needs to sign paperwork confirming continued participation in the Southwest Opioid Response District (SORD) to remain eligible for any opioid-settlement funds distributed to the regional collaborative.
Staff described the action as largely ministerial: the memorandum of understanding that formed SORD in 2021 requires signatures to confirm participation and to accept any fund distributions. County counsel said the county must complete signings by Sept. 30 to secure eligibility for funds tied to upcoming settlement disbursements, and staff noted that DocuSign signings can be delayed by process timing.
Commissioners were briefed that continued participation would make the county eligible to receive any settlement funds that are routed through SORD; no specific dollar amounts were presented at the workshop.
