Lafayette approves $386,728 opioid grant to Valley Oaks Health
Summary
City staff recommended and the council approved a $386,728 opioid grant for Valley Oaks Health after the application arrived late due to an email issue; staff said budget timing allowed the award without reducing other grants.
The Lafayette City council approved a $386,728 opioid grant to Valley Oaks Health after city staff said the application was delayed by an email security filter but was meritorious and could be funded within existing 2025 budget timing.
An unidentified city presenter told the council Valley Oaks’ application arrived after the deadline but added, “the program they’re proposing is quite a good one,” and explained the city had budgeted $500,000 for opioid funds this year and, because of cash-flow timing, could add the award without reducing awards already given. The presenter also noted the city expects additional opioid funding from a possible Purdue Pharma payout in the next 12–18 months.
Council members asked clarifying questions about budget timing, and the grant was approved by voice vote. The transcript does not record a roll-call tally or individual named votes.
