Barry County committee forwards scored Opioid Settlement RFP recommendations to commissioners
Summary
The Committee of the Whole voted unanimously on June 3 to send scored recommendations for spending Opioid Settlement funds to the full Board of Commissioners after presentations by the Barry County Substance Abuse Task Force and the RFP scoring committee.
The Barry County Committee of the Whole voted June 3 to forward the scored Opioid Settlement Fund Request for Proposal recommendations to the Board of Commissioners for final approval.
Liz Lenz, director of the Barry County Substance Abuse Task Force, and Bill Mattson, chair of the OSF/RFP Scoring Committee and executive director of the Child Abuse and Prevention Task Force, presented the committee’s scoring and recommendation to commissioners. Commissioners said the RFP process produced recommended awardees and asked that the packet be reviewed by the full Board for final action.
Commissioner Mike Callton moved to present the scored RFP recommendation(s) to the Board of Commissioners, and Commissioner David Hatfield seconded. The motion passed with all ayes.
The record on June 3 does not specify dollar amounts, individual awardees, or scoring details; those items were described as part of the scored recommendation packet and will appear in the materials sent to the Board for final approval. The committee’s action was procedural — forwarding the committee’s recommendation rather than directly authorizing contracts or disbursements.
Next steps: the Board of Commissioners will consider the recommendation at an upcoming Board meeting. The committee did not set a date for final Board action during the June 3 session.
