Board authorizes County Counsel to sign opioid-manufacturer settlement, approves Purdue/Sackler plan
Summary
After closed session the Sutter County Board of Supervisors reported unanimous authorization for County Counsel to sign a settlement with eight generic opioid manufacturers listed on the agenda and approved the Purdue bankruptcy plan and Sackler settlement, directing counsel to sign related documents.
Returning from closed session the Sutter County Board of Supervisors announced it had provided direction to staff on labor negotiations and unanimously authorized County Counsel to sign a settlement agreement with eight generic opioid manufacturers identified on the meeting agenda.
The board also announced it approved the Purdue bankruptcy plan and the Sackler settlement and authorized County Counsel to cast the county's vote in favor of the plan and to sign the associated settlement documents. The chair reported those actions on the public record immediately after closed session; the board said the votes were unanimous.
Clerk announcements before the closed session had identified the litigation items under Government Code sections related to existing litigation and bankruptcy matters, so the board complied with the applicable closed-session notice provisions prior to deliberation. No further details on settlement amounts or confidential terms were provided in the open session report; the board limited the public summary to the fact of authorization and approval.
