Summary

Chair said roughly $140,000 in opioid-related funding is available and five groups had applied; staff will prepare a resolution and itemized plan for the county’s full court meeting and a standard budget meeting next week.

The Budget Committee heard on April 14 that the county expects about $140,000 in opioid-settlement funding for programs and services and that five groups have applied for those funds.

The chair said the money is restricted to opioid-related uses and cannot be spent on unrelated programs. He asked staff to review applications and prepare an itemized allocation and a resolution so the full county court could authorize distributions. The committee discussed timing: staff aim to have a resolution ready for the full-court meeting so funds could be distributed in late April or by May 1.

Committee members asked staff to provide a line-item breakdown and to present it at the upcoming budget and full-court meetings; the chair indicated he will request the item be placed on the next full-court agenda for authorization to distribute the funds to the applicant organizations.
