The Cass County Commission on June 4 approved Resolution 25-52, authorizing $14,400 in opioid settlement funds to pay for a training course for first responders provided through Abbot University.
The training, the commission was told, covered 32 participants. A police chief who addressed the commission said the class aligns with the permitted uses of opioid settlement proceeds and asked commissioners to support the department’s participation.
“The training is exactly what the opioid settlement money is supposed to be used for,” the police chief told the commission. Commissioners moved and seconded the resolution; the meeting record states the vote as 4-0 in favor and the resolution passed.
The resolution text presented to the commission described the payment as coming from opioid settlement funds and designated for first responders trained through Abbot University in an amount of $14,400. No additional funding sources or a payment schedule were specified during the discussion.
After the vote, a member of the public associated with local law enforcement thanked the commission for approving the measure.
The commission’s action completes the authorization to pay the stated training cost; the transcript did not specify a contract number, invoice, or an implementation timeline for the payment.
