OAC approves second-year SAS service hours amendment, adds $155,426 to operations
Summary
The council approved staff request to fund an additional $155,426.25 in SAS service hours for year two, noting $111,968 in unused 2024 service hours remains in the trust; staff said the administrative overhead with the increase would be about 3.92%.
The Tennessee Opioid Abatement Council approved a second‑year amendment to its SAS contract Jan. 23, adding a projected $155,426.25 for service hours on top of the previously budgeted SaaS/system fees. Executive Director Mary Shelton told the council that the $155,426.25 reflected service‑hour needs for 2025 and that the OAC had about $111,968 in unspent service hours from 2024 still in the trust.
Members asked whether the additional cost would materially change the OAC’s administrative overhead. Staff ran an on‑the‑spot calculation and reported administrative overhead at about 3.92% after the amendment. Dr. Tim Fournette moved to approve the second‑year SAS funding; Armando Fontes seconded the motion, and a roll‑call vote recorded the motion as carried.
The council directed staff to proceed with the contract amendment and to include the additional service hours in the contract documents. The item centered on operations and bookkeeping details rather than programmatic changes to grantmaking.
