Council to consider joining additional opioid distributor settlement that would add roughly $20,000 to city programs
Summary
City staff told the committee the city has already received prior opioid settlement disbursements and recommended council approve participation in a new settlement that would yield the city just over $20,000 from a $97.625 million settlement with six distributors.
Finance staff updated the committee on the city's participation in opioid abatement settlements and described prior disbursements the city had already received. Staff reported a new settlement with six additional regional distributors totaling $97,625,000; the city’s share from that pot would be "just over $20,000," staff said, and recommended council approve entering the settlement so qualifying abatement programs could use the funds.
Council agreed to forward the settlement to the full council for a vote that evening.
