The Chippewa County committee approved new governance documents for the county's opioid settlement steering committee at the Aug. 5 meeting.

Commissioner Justin Knepper moved approval of Policy No. 609, the bylaws for the Chippewa County Opioid Settlement Steering Committee, and the Conflict‑of‑Interest Disclosure form for the steering committee. The committee approved two requested changes: amend Article VI, Section 2 by changing the third word from "will" to "may," and add language in Article VII, Section 1 that the steering committee will follow Robert's Rules of Order. The motion carried on a voice vote.

Meeting materials referenced county policies No. 122 (Ancillary/Advisory Committee Attendance Policy) and No. 323 (Cash and Check Handling) as related guidance. The county did not set an implementation timeline in the meeting record; staff will incorporate the bylaws and disclosure form into the steering committee formation process.
