Summary
The city received $17,883.34 in opioid settlement distributions and staff said the opioid trust fund approved using funds for a crisis co‑responder program previously proposed by the city.
Lock Haven — City staff told the Lock Haven City Council that the city’s share of the opioid settlement distribution is $17,883.34. Council previously approved the use of some unspent prior‑year funds to support a crisis co‑responder program; staff reported that the opioid trust fund had reviewed and approved that use as appropriate.
