Summary

Commissioners reviewed a $93,985.92 letter of agreement with the Tennessee Opioid Abatement Council and several annual nonmatching grants (including $44,200 Liber Grama and a $96,252 recurring grant); items will be added to the commission agenda for formal action.

Speaker 1 told the workshop the commission will place on the agenda a letter of agreement with the Tennessee Opioid Abatement Council for $93,985.92. "That's just our normal contract that I have signed before; they'll send the funds down," the speaker said. The speaker also asked staff to place the annual Liber Grama grant of $44,200 and an annual non-matching grant of $96,252 (applied for by Brad) on the agenda for approval.

The opioid committee met earlier and prepared a payment plan identifying how funds would be disbursed among recipients; the speaker said the committee's chairman and membership prepared forms detailing recipients and the account source because the county maintains multiple opioid-related accounts. Commissioners agreed to add the opioid committee's recommendations and related grant paperwork to the next agenda packet for review.

No formal votes were taken at the workshop; commissioners instructed staff to include the grants and the opioid-abatement agreement on the next agenda for formal consideration.
