Seminole Votes to Join Purdue Pharma Bankruptcy Settlement and GESA
Summary
The City of Seminole unanimously approved Resolution 2025-09 to participate in the Purdue Pharma bankruptcy plan and the governmental entities settlement agreement (GESA), correcting a drafting error to name 'Seminole' rather than 'ADA' on participation forms.
The City of Seminole voted unanimously to approve Resolution 2025-09 authorizing the city to participate in the Purdue Pharma bankruptcy plan and the Governmental Entities Settlement Agreement (GESA) dated 06/17/2025.
Speaker 1 read the resolution text, which authorizes "the mayor of the city of Seminole or the mayor's designee to execute the subdivision participation form" and directs the city's legal counsel to vote to accept the plan via master ballot or otherwise. During the reading, Speaker 3 pointed out the draft incorrectly named "ADA" and requested that the subdivision be changed to "Seminole." Speaker 2 moved to approve the resolution pending that modification; the motion was seconded and carried on a roll call vote.
Speaker 4 conducted the roll call; Dana Miller, Larry Church, Scott Rossman, Chris Anson, Jolene DeSeth, Jeff Nance, and John Kramer voted "Yes." Speaker 1 announced the motion passed and the amendment from "ADA" to "Seminole" was adopted.
The resolution also references participation in manufacturer settlements associated with the Purdue plan, and authorizes the mayor or designee to sign required participation forms on the city's behalf. The record does not specify any financial terms or allocation amounts for Seminole's participation.
