Hamilton County reviews CDBG report and approves opioid settlement disbursements
Summary
County staff summarized the consolidated annual performance evaluation for CDBG funds and the board approved $175,820 in opioid settlement disbursements to 11 local programs, and a $578,000 grant agreement with Invest Hamilton County for opioid‑related programming. Transcript contains a numerical discrepancy in the CDBG spending figure; county staff did not provide a corrected figure during the meeting.
Michelle Wiestermeyer presented the consolidated annual performance evaluation report for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for program year 2024. She said Hamilton County had $1,841,942 in CDBG funds for the program year and described completed infrastructure projects such as sidewalks, ADA ramps and storm drainage improvements in a Carmel neighborhood. The transcript records an apparent transcription error in which a spending figure was read as $604,808,139; that exceeds the stated total and no corrected figure was provided during the meeting.
The board also approved distribution of opioid settlement monies for the fourth quarter as presented by Director Michael Hubbs. Hubbs read 11 recommended recipients and amounts totaling $175,820 (examples included a $25,000 allocation to the county jail program and $20,000 to the Ignite Transform program). Hubbs also introduced a grant agreement between Invest Hamilton County and Hamilton County for use of opioid funds in the amount of $578,000; the board approved the grant pending a minor heading amendment and signature.
Hubbs and staff indicated written memos or corrected figures would be provided to commissioners after the meeting for any items that needed clarification.
