Summary
Johnson County commissioners approved a no‑cost extension to move Riley Children’s Foundation’s opioid remediation grant deadline to December 2025; Adam Kegley said planning and curriculum work remains in progress and a report was submitted to county staff.
Adam Kegley, director of foundation relations for Riley Children’s Foundation, asked commissioners on June 12 to approve a no‑cost extension for previously awarded opioid remediation funds so the project timeline could move to December 2025. “We’re requesting a no cost extension on the previously awarded funds,” Kegley said, adding that hospital teams are progressing on clinic planning and partnership development in Johnson County.
Kegley told commissioners his office provided a draft implementation timeline in a report to county staff (Tiffany Costly). The board moved and seconded approval of the extension and recorded a voice vote of approval.
A commissioner noted the request was limited to an extension and asked whether the board wanted an additional report from Riley; no further report was requested at the meeting. Kegley thanked commissioners for their support after the vote and said the foundation appreciated the extension as it completes partnerships and curriculum development in the county.
