Columbus County commissioners report discussion of possible opioid settlement; no action taken
Summary
The Columbus County Board of Commissioners discussed a possible settlement in the county's opioid litigation during a closed session and did not take formal action when the meeting returned to open session, according to the meeting record.
The Columbus County Board of Commissioners discussed a possible settlement in the county's ongoing opioid litigation during closed session and took no formal action, the meeting record shows.
When the board returned to open session, a speaker announced that commissioners had discussed a “possible settlement with the opioid litigation” and that “no action was taken by the board.” The meeting record does not include terms, amounts, or a timeline for any settlement discussion.
The statement about the discussion appeared immediately before a routine motion to approve the county’s general account. The transcript does not show any public explanation of the substance of the settlement discussion or any vote on settlement terms.
Because the record shows only that the topic was discussed and no decision was recorded, the matter remains open for future consideration, if it is placed on a future agenda.
