Summary

The Vienna City Council unanimously approved an $8,500 donation from opioid settlement funds to Westbrook Health Services for youth‑focused anti‑opioid programming after budget committee discussions reduced an initial $65,000 request.

The Vienna City Council voted unanimously to donate $8,500 from opioid settlement funds to Westbrook Health Services on behalf of the Wood County Prevention Coalition to support youth‑focused anti‑opioid programming.

Treasurer reported that Westbrook originally requested $65,000 to cover its 2026 programs; council members and the budget and finance committee discussed covering an initial quarter and asked the City of Parkersburg and Wood County Commission to contribute before returning to Vienna for further consideration. The $8,500 covers programming planned for January–March, including recreational events for youth.

Mayor called for the question and members signified assent by raised hands; the motion passed unanimously (individual counts were not recorded in the meeting transcript).

Council members characterized the donation as an interim, cooperative step while larger funding coordination continues with neighboring jurisdictions.
