Supervisors authorize roughly $100,000 in opioid-settlement spending, agree to transfer funds to cover payments
Summary
Carroll County supervisors approved opioid-settlement expenditures covering sheriff services, school outreach and local broadcasting and authorized drawing $50,000 from a CD to the checking account to cover the payments; the meeting record contains two slightly different totals for the sum requested.
The Carroll County Board of Supervisors approved a set of opioid-settlement expenditures for local programs and services and authorized a short-term transfer from a county certificate of deposit to the checking account to cover the payments.
Unidentified Speaker 1 reported the opioid committee had approved three awards: Carroll County Sheriff Service for $45,030.95; $39,000 to Tony Hublin for school outreach to five schools; and $16,762.50 to Carol Broadcasting for digital and radio placements. The presenter recommended approving approximately $100,888.45 to cover the items and asked the board to authorize moving $50,000 from a county CD into checking; staff said the bank would waive the CD-penalty fee to allow the transfer.
Board members moved and seconded the combined motion and approved it by voice vote. Later in the discussion a different figure — $100,007.93 — was read aloud, producing an inconsistency in the recorded totals. The transcript does not include an explicit reconciliation of the two totals; the board passed the motion authorizing opioid expenditures and the temporary CD transfer.
Tony Hublin was named as the presenter who will conduct school outreach under the approved funding. County staff (Courtney and others) noted the county’s checking balance and that the CD transfer was suggested to cover near-term cash needs.
The board did not record a roll-call vote for this item; approval was recorded by general voice vote.
