Morrow County sets Jan. 18, 2018, as litigation-hold date in opioid case, names commissioner contact
Summary
At its Sept. 9 meeting the Morrow County Board of Commissioners voted to designate Jan. 18, 2018, as the county’s litigation-hold date for the county’s opioid litigation and named Commissioner Abraham and the clerk as points of contact.
The Morrow County Board of Commissioners on Sept. 9 voted to designate Jan. 18, 2018, as the county’s litigation-hold date for the county’s opioid litigation and named Commissioner Abraham and the county clerk as points of contact.
Clerk (Speaker 3) asked the board for a motion “to designate the date of record of 01/18/2018 as Morrow County’s litigation hold for the opioid litigation and to name commissioner Abraham to be the person of contact along with the clerk.” An unidentified commissioner moved (“I so move.”) and another seconded. The clerk then called the roll; Commissioners Abraham, Siegfried and Mason each recorded “Yes,” and the motion passed.
The action formalizes the date the county will treat as the start point for retaining records and preserving documents related to the opioid litigation. The board did not discuss further details about the scope of the hold, custodians, or specific records to be preserved during the meeting; those implementation details were not specified in the session record.
The board’s vote is recorded as approved; Commissioner Abraham is the named contact for the county on matters related to the hold, along with the clerk. No public comment or opposing statements on this motion were recorded during the meeting.
Next steps were not described on the record; the clerk and the named contact will be the county’s points of reference for the litigation hold unless the board takes further action in a future meeting.
