County committee reports highlight opioid grant kickoff, childcare outreach and Region 12 meetings
Summary
Supervisors heard committee updates including an opioid settlement kickoff and application process, childcare meetings and Region 12 policy discussions; staff and volunteers are coordinating outreach and a web page to accept applications for opioid-related funds.
During committee reports, supervisors described a June opioid-settlement kickoff meeting that formed a diverse team to manage local opioid settlement funds. Maggie Pauley and Megan were cited by supervisors as leading outreach and application intake; the team began accepting applications starting June 25.
Supervisors said they scheduled interviews and outreach with Carol area media (Carol Broadcasting) to discuss the opioid team and increase public awareness. County staff member Dalton created a page on the county website with application materials and guidance for applicants, supervisors said.
Other committee items included childcare and Region 12 policy council meetings. Supervisor reports noted discussions about potential impacts from recent federal legislation affecting LIHEAP and community service block grant (CSBG) programs and a budget amendment approved by a community action entity for the community service block grant. Staff and supervisors said they will monitor possible shifts in federal program rules that could increase demand on local services.
These items were presented as informational committee reports; no final board action on grant administration or new allocations was recorded in the transcript.
