County accepts Ohio AG opioid remediation grant and awards contract to Orianna House
Summary
Summit County approved acceptance of a $134,240 opioid remediation grant from the Ohio Attorney General and awarded a one‑year contract to Orianna House Incorporated to provide medication‑assisted treatment services at the county’s community‑based correctional facility; the county will serve as pass‑through.
Summit County’s Public Safety committee approved a resolution accepting a $134,240 opioid remediation grant from the Ohio Attorney General with no local cash match and awarding a one‑year professional services contract to Orianna House Incorporated as the provider of opioid remediation services.
Laurie Pesci of the Executive’s Office, Department of Public Safety, said the grant is intended to help pay for medication‑assisted treatment (MAT) services at the county’s community‑based correctional facility (CBCF). She stated that the CBCF’s operations are paid through the State of Ohio and that the county will act as a pass‑through for the grant funds to Orianna House, which operates the facility.
"This is to help with those operational costs, and then the money has to come through the county in order to grama it to Orianna House who is running the facility," Pesci said.
A motion to accept the grant and award the contract (mover: Mr. Ford) passed in committee. The resolution was declared carried.
The transcript does not include further detail on contract terms beyond the one‑year duration and the $134,240 amount, nor does it specify additional reporting requirements; the county will execute required documents to accept the award and move the funds to the provider.
