Iredell County restates opioid settlement spending resolution to exclude lock boxes
Summary
Finance staff told commissioners that state/Core-NC review found lock boxes ineligible under the county's selected Strategy A, and the board voted by consent to amend and restate its opioid settlement spending resolution to remove lock boxes from eligible uses.
Iredell County’s Finance Department asked the board to amend and restate its opioid settlement spending resolution after the county’s state reviewer (Core-NC/state review) determined that purchasing and distributing ‘lock boxes’ is not eligible under the county’s selected Strategy A.
Caroline Taylor explained that the county submits a spending resolution for review under the state memorandum of agreement; reviewers flagged the lock-box line as ineligible for Strategy A. Taylor said the county has included lock boxes in prior resolutions but has not purchased or distributed them. The board approved the corrected resolution by consent.
The restated resolution excludes lock boxes from Strategy A expenditures to align the county’s plan with state/Core-NC guidance. Taylor emphasized that past resolutions included the language but that the county has not expended funds on ineligible items.
The transcript records the board’s approval by voice consent; there was no roll-call recorded in the meeting transcript.
